Please Note:
User Contributions
You may provide information to be published or displayed or otherwise "posted" on public areas of the Services or transmitted to other users of the Services or third parties (collectively, "User Contributions"). If you wish to use the App to record video or audio User Contributions, the App may request your permission to access your device's camera and/or microphone. Your User Contributions are posted on and transmitted to others at your own risk. You may set certain privacy settings for such information by logging into your account profile, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of other users of the Site with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions. Also, If you wish to invite your contacts to the Services or send them content from the Services, this includes importing or manually entering your contact list from your device to the Services when authorized by you. We may also receive PI about you from others when they import or sync their contacts with our Services.
3. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
As you navigate through and interact with our Services, we may use automatic data collection technologies such as cookies, web beacons (also known as "tracking pixels"), embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, fingerprinting, device recognition technologies, in-app tracking methods, and other tracking technologies now and later developed (collectively, "Tracking Technologies") to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:
Details of your visits to our Services, including traffic data, logs, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Site.
Information about your computer or device and internet connection, including your operating system and browser type.
Tracking Technologies helps us to improve our Services and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to: (1) Estimate our audience size and usage patterns, (2) Store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our Site according to your individual interests, (3) Speed up your searches, and (4) Recognize you when you return to our Site.
Cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options so you may need to set them separately. Please be aware that if you disable or remove these technologies, some parts of the Services may not work and that when you revisit the Services your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.
Some App-related Tracking Technologies in connection with non-browser usage (e.g., most functionality of a mobile app) can only be disabled by uninstalling the app. To uninstall an app, follow the instructions from your operating system or handset manufacturer. Apple and Google mobile device settings have settings to limit ad tracking, and other tracking, but these may not be completely effective.
Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a "Do Not Track" signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what "Do Not Track" means in this context. Like many online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a "Do Not Track" signal from a visitor's browser. To find out more about "Do Not Track," you can visit here, but please know we cannot take responsibility for the completeness or accuracy of this or any third-party information.
Many advertisers and service providers that may perform advertising-related services for us and third parties participate in voluntary programs that provide tools to opt-out of such interest-based advertising such as the Digital Advertising Alliance's ("DAA") Self- Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising for DAA members, visit here. Some of these companies also are members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI"). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see here. Please be aware that, even if you can opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected, participating members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (from other ad networks, for example). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser or use a non-browser-based method of access (mobile app, for example), your browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective.
4. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
We keep the categories of personal information described above for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or otherwise authorized by law. This generally means holding the information for as long as one of the following apply:
Your personal information is reasonably necessary to manage our operations, to manage your relationship with us, or to satisfy another purpose for which we collected the information;
Your personal information is reasonably necessary to carry out a disclosed purpose that is reasonably compatible with the context in which the personal information was collected;
The information is reasonably required to protect or defend our rights or property (which will generally relate to applicable laws that limit actions in a particular case); or
We are otherwise required or permitted to keep your information by applicable laws or regulations.
Where information is used for more than one purpose, we will retain it until the purpose with the latest period expires. For more information about our retention policies, please contact us using the contact details in the “How to Contact Us” section.
5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND SOCIAL FEATURES
Certain functionalities on the Services may permit interactions that you initiate between the Services and other websites, locations, platforms, applications, or services operated by third parties (collectively, "Third-Party Services") such as third-party social networks ("Social Features"). Examples of Social Features include enabling you to connect the Services to a Third-Party Service to pull or push information to or from the Services. If you use Social Features, and potentially other Third-Party Services, information you post or provide access to may be publicly displayed on the Services or by the Third-Party Services that you use. If you post information on a Third-Party Service that references the Services (by using a hashtag associated with our family of affiliated companies in a tweet or status update, for example), your post may be used on or in connection with the Services or otherwise by our family of affiliated companies. GETTR and third parties may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Services and any Third-Party Services.
6. YOUR CHOICES
A. Opting Out of Promotional Communications.
You can make choices about how your information may be used by us to provide information and offers to you. You may opt out of commercial messages by clicking on the "opt out" or "unsubscribe" link provided with each message. These preferences do not apply to transactional communications, such as those that are related to your registration with us, required or important notices related to your use of our Services, or the fulfillment of a specific transaction.
B. Opting Out of Providing Personal Information Through the Apps.
You may be able to enable or disable certain permissions features (allowing the App to read, modify, or delete the contents of your USB storage; take pictures and videos; or view Wi-Fi connections, for example) by adjusting the permissions in your device. If you no longer want to provide any information to us through the Apps, you may uninstall them from your device.
C. Accessing and Changing Information.
We may provide web pages, other mechanisms or processes allowing you to delete, correct, or update some of the personal information that we collect from you, and potentially certain other information about you (profile and account information, for example). We will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in our then-active databases as soon as practicable, but it is not always possible to completely change, remove or delete all your information or public postings from our databases and residual and/or cached data may remain archived thereafter. We reserve the right to retain data: (a) as required by laws that apply to us; and (b) except when the laws that apply to us do not allow, for so long as we need it to reasonably achieve the purposes for which your data is maintained.
7. LINKS AND OTHER SITES
Our Privacy Policy applies only to our information practices on the Services. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to the other websites and social media websites you access and use, including those you may access from the Services. Other websites or apps may have their own privacy policies or notices that you should review to understand how they may collect, use, or disclose your personal information. GETTR is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any linked websites that it does not control.
8. SECURITY
We take steps to help protect your personal information. We require password protection as well as physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal information. We limit access to personal information to employees and authorized users who need to know that information to operate, develop or improve our Services. However, we cannot guarantee that your information will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with our Privacy Policy (because of unauthorized acts by third parties that violate law applicable to us or our policies, for example).

To find out more about "Do Not Track," you can visit here, but please know we cannot take responsibility for the completeness or accuracy of this or any third-party information.
Many advertisers and service providers that may perform advertising-related services for us and third parties participate in voluntary programs that provide tools to opt-out of such interest-based advertising such as the Digital Advertising Alliance's ("DAA") Self- Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising for DAA members, visit here. Some of these companies also are members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI"). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see here. Please be aware that, even if you can opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected, participating members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (from other ad networks, for example). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser or use a non-browser-based method of access (mobile app, for example), your browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective.
