Using Taalu Services
You may share personal information when using Taalu Services. For example, you provide information about yourself when creating a Taalu account. Another example is when you take certain actions on Taalu Services that are public or intended to be public, such as when you post content or profile information, which, given the social nature of certain Taalu Services, may be collected, used, or disclosed by others involved in the social interaction. Additionally, some features of Taalu Services are designed to provide information to others regarding user activities, such as identifying the user who created a particular clip or the subscription status of a particular channel user. We encourage you to keep this in mind when considering your activities on Taalu Services.

About Facebook
Facebook is an online social media and social networking service company based in Menlo Park, California. It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. The website was launched on February 4, 2004.
Facebook allows users to create a profile, upload photos and videos, send messages, and keep in touch with friends, family, and colleagues. It also provides various features such as Marketplace, Groups, Events, and Pages for businesses and public figures.
Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. People use Facebook to stay connected with loved ones, discover what's going on in the world, and share their stories with the people they care about.
3. How We Share Your Information
Please note that if your profile is public, anyone on the platform can see your content, and your friends, followers, as well as third parties such as search engines, content aggregators, and news sites may also have access to or share your content. You can change who can see your video or image each time you upload it.
With your consent (either explicit or implicit), we may share your personal information outside of Taalu Services.
We may disclose your personal information to members of our corporate group (i.e., entities that control us, are controlled by us, or are under common control with us) as necessary for services, customer management, content customization, advertising, analytics, identity verification, functionality and security, and compliance.
We may disclose your personal information to authorized service providers who provide certain services on our behalf. These services may include order fulfillment, credit card payment processing, customized content, analytics, security, map navigation, data storage and cloud services, support for our functionalities, and other functions provided through Taalu Services. These service providers may have access to personal information necessary to perform their functions but may not share such information or use it for any other purposes. However, if you connect to third-party services through Taalu Services or otherwise link your Taalu account to third-party services, you are requesting and authorizing us to share or allow access to your information with that third party on your behalf. We may also send information about the content you watch or your activities on Taalu Services to that third party to enhance your experience on Taalu Services.
If a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all assets occurs, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceedings, the personal information we hold about users will be part of the transferred assets, and we may disclose or share your personal information with the buyer or other successors. If such a sale or transfer occurs, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the entity to which we transfer your personal information uses that information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
When we have reason to believe that disclosure is necessary for the following: (a) compliance with any applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or government requests; (b) enforcement of applicable terms of use, including investigation of potential violations; (c) detection, prevention, or otherwise addressing illegal or suspected illegal activities, security, or technical issues; (d) preventing harm to the rights, property, or safety of our company, users, employees, or other third parties; (e) maintaining and protecting the security and integrity of Taalu Services or infrastructure.
We may disclose aggregated information about our users. We may also share aggregated information with third parties for general business analysis. This information does not contain any personal information and may be used to develop content and services that we hope will be of interest to you and other users.
4. International Data Transfers
Your personal information may be processed by us (trusted third-party vendors) outside the country/region where you reside, including countries/regions where data protection and privacy laws or regulations may differ from those in your country/region. In accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information remains protected and secure when transferred to jurisdictions outside your country/region with a lower level of personal data protection. These measures include, if applicable, data transfer agreements based on standard data protection clauses.
In accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations, we may also transfer your personal information outside your country/region. For example, we need to transfer your personal information (a) to enter into a contract with you (or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract); (b) to perform a contract with you; or (c) in relation to legal claims.
5. Links to Other Websites or Applications
When you click on any links to other websites, mobile applications, or third-party content through Taalu Services, you will be directed to another website or mobile application, which may collect information from you or about you. We have no control over, do not review, and are not responsible for these third-party websites or mobile applications or their content. Please note that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these third-party websites or mobile applications or content, nor to any information collected after you click on links to these third-party websites, mobile applications, or content.
6. Data Security
We take appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, only authorized employees are allowed to access personal information, and they may only access personal information for permitted business functions. Additionally, we use encryption technology when transmitting certain personal information between your systems and ours, and use firewalls to help prevent unauthorized access to your personal information. However, please note that we cannot completely eliminate security risks associated with storing and transmitting your personal information. You should exercise caution when submitting information via Taalu Services and be especially careful when deciding what information to provide us.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account information at all times.
7. Your Choices
You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that when you choose to disable cookies, it will be specific to the particular browser or device you are using, so you may need to disable cookies separately for each type of browser or device. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that certain parts of the website may become inaccessible or may not function properly.
You can choose to prevent us from sending you push notifications by adjusting the permissions on your mobile device.
If you do not want to share, you can turn off GPS location, microphone, camera, or other similar features on your mobile device. You can also hide your location, uploaded videos, recent activity time, and other information by adjusting the “Privacy” settings.
You may choose not to provide us with personal information, but this may prevent you from using certain features of Taalu Services, as you may need such information to register as a user, purchase paid services, participate in promotions, surveys, giveaways, or submit complaints.
