Information Collected or Received from You
Creating an Account and Profile Information
If you create a Vidicrowd account, you will provide us with certain information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, email address, and phone number (“Personal Information”).

If you create a Vidicrowd account through one of your social network accounts, we may also collect your gender, date of birth, zip code and other information that cannot be used by itself to identify you.
Use of your information
Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Services, to administer your use of the Services (including your account, if you are an account holder), and to enable you to enjoy and easily navigate our Services. In addition, we may use your information to send you information about our Services, respond to your requests, facilitate your use of the Services, provide features of our Services, such as tagging you in an episode or video, enabling others to invite you to an event, interest group or other group of persons, and to improve and customize the Services.

Location Information
In addition to profile information, if you choose to enable your computer or mobile device to send us location information we may collect and store information about your location by converting your IP address into a rough geo-location or by accessing your mobile device’s GPS coordinates or location. We may use and store information about your location, to provide features of our Services, such as tagging an episode or video with a location, interest group, or group of persons, and to improve and customize the Services with Content that has been tagged near your location. If you do not want us to collect location information, you may disable that feature on your mobile device.
Links
We may keep track of how you interact with links across our Services, including our email notifications, third-party services, and Apps, by redirecting clicks or through other means.
