Users can access A Guide for the Homesick ("A Guide for the Homesick") service (the "Service") through our website www.aguideforthehomesick.com, applications on Devices, through APIs, and through third-parties. A "Device" is any computer used to access the Service, including without limitation a desktop, laptop, mobile phone, tablet, or other consumer electronic device. This Privacy Policy governs your access of the Service, regardless of how you access it, and by using our Services you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure, and other uses described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Data We Collect and Store

We may collect and store the following information when running the Service:

  • Information You Provide. To use the Service, you may be invited to register an account, at which point we may collect some personal information, such as your name, email address, home or business postal addresses, or other information. You may also ask us to import your contacts by giving us access to your third-party services (for example, your email account) or to use your social networking information if you give us access to your account on social network connection services. If we offer a referral page allowing you to invite others to join A Guide for the Homesick or share content, we send them a one-time email. You may also provide us with your contacts' email addresses when sharing Data with them. We may also receive personal information (for example, your email address) through other users, for example, if they have tried to share something with you or tried to refer A Guide for the Homesick to you. Similar information may also be required to participate in other online activities, special events, contests, surveys, or sweepstakes.

  • Pictures. Current or future features may collect and store the pictures you upload to the Service ("Pictures"). If you add a picture to A Guide for the Homesick that has been previously uploaded by you, we may associate all or a portion of the previous file with your account rather than storing a duplicate.

  • Cookies. A Guide for the Homesick, our marketing partners, affiliates, analytics, or service providers also use "cookies" to collect information and improve our Services. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your Device. We may use "persistent cookies" to save your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Service. We may use "session ID cookies" to enable certain features of the Service, to better understand how you interact with the Service, and to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on the Service.
