Use of Information Obtained by NUS Diary

When you register with NUS Diary, you create your own profile. Your profile information, as well as your name, email and photo, are displayed to people in the networks to enable you to connect with people on NUS Diary. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by NUS Diary that we think you may find valuable.

Profile information is used by NUS Diary primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service.

Profile information you submit to NUS Diary will be available to users of NUS Diary. Your name, network names, and profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results across the NUS Diary network and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines.

NUS Diary may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service.

NUS Diary may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in a network like a band or movie and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you NUS Diary. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you and, where there are advertisements, they’re more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put a favourite movie in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting a screening of a similar one in your town. But we don’t tell the movie company who you are.

We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of NUS Diary, to supplement your profile.

Sharing Your Information with Third Parties

NUS Diary is about sharing information with others. NUS Diary does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies except to provide services you’ve requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances.

• Unlike most sites on the Web, NUS Diary limits access to site information by third party search engine “crawlers” (e.g. Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask). NUS Diary takes action to block access by these engines to personal information beyond your name, profile picture, and limited aggregated data about your profile.
• We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about NUS Diary, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, to offer an online job application process, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the NUS Diary-specified purposes.
• We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the NUS Diary service or using the NUS Diary name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
• If the ownership of all or substantially all of the NUS Diary business, or individual business units owned by NUS Diary, Inc., were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

When you use NUS Diary, certain information you post or share with third parties such as personal information, comments, photos, or other information, may be shared with other users. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments, photos or other items, this information may become publicly available.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.

NUS Diary users may modify or delete any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated immediately.
