Account Information: => If you create a Codewired account, we may require you to provide a username and password. Your username is public, and it doesn’t have to be related to your real name. You may also provide other account information, like an email address, bio, or profile picture. We also store your user account preferences and settings.
Content You Submit: => We collect the content you submit to the Services. This includes your posts and comments including saved drafts, videos you broadcast via RPAN, your messages with other users (e.g., private messages, chats, and modmail), and your reports and other communications with moderators and with us. Your content may include text, links, images, gifs, and videos.
Actions You Take: => We collect information about the actions you take when using the Services. This includes your interactions with content, like voting, saving, hiding, and reporting. It also includes your interactions with other users, such as following, friending, and blocking. We collect your interactions with communities, like your subscriptions or moderator status.
Transactional Information:=> If you purchase products or services from us (e.g., Subscriptions), we will collect certain information from you, including your name, address, email address, and information about the product or service you are purchasing. Codewired uses industry-standard payment processor services (for example, Stripe) to handle payment information.
Other Informatiaon:=> You may choose to provide other information directly to us. For example, we may collect information when you fill out a form, participate in Codewired-sponsored activities or promotions, apply for a job, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us.

What We Collect Automatically

Log & Usage Data: => We may log information when you access and use the Services. This may include your IP address, user-agent string, browser type, operating system, referral URLs, device information (e.g., device IDs), device settings, pages visited, links clicked, the requested URL, and search terms. Except for the IP address used to create your account, Codewired will delete any IP addresses collected after 100 days.
Cookie Information: => We may receive information from cookies, which are pieces of data your browser stores and sends back to us when making requests, and similar technologies. We use this information to improve your experience, understand user activity, personalize content and advertisements, and improve the quality of our Services. For example, we store and retrieve information about your preferred language and other settings. See our Cookie Notice for more information about how Codewired uses cookies. For more information on how you can disable cookies, please see “Your Choices” below.
Location Information: => We may receive and process information about your location. For example, with your consent, we may collect information about the specific location of your mobile device (for example, by using GPS or Bluetooth). We may also receive location information from you when you choose to share such information on our Services, including by associating your content with a location, or we may derive your approximate location from other information about you, including your IP address.

Information From Others

We may receive information about you from other sources, including from other users and third parties, and combine that information with the other information we have about you. For example, we may receive demographic or interest information about you from third parties, including advertisers (such as the fact that an advertiser is interested in showing you an ad), and combine it with our own data using a common account identifier such as a hash of an email address or a mobile-device ID. You can control how we use this information to personalize the Services for you as described in “Your Choices - Controlling Advertising and Analytics” below.
Linked Services: => If you authorize or link a third-party service (e.g., an unofficial mobile app client) to access your Codewired account, Codewired receives information about your use of that service when it uses that authorization. Linking services may also cause the other service to send us information about your account with that service. For example, if you sign in to Codewired with a third-party identity provider, that provider may share an email address with us. To learn how information is shared with linked services, see “How Information About You Is Shared” below.
Integration Services: => We also may receive information about you, including log and usage data and cookie information, from third-party sites that integrate our Services, including our embeds and advertising technology. For example, when you visit a site that uses Codewired embeds, we may receive information about the web page you visited. Similarly, if an advertiser incorporates Codewired’s ad technology, Codewired may receive limited information about your activity on the advertiser’s site or app, such as whether you bought something from the advertiser. You can control how we use this information to personalize the Services for you as described in “Your Choices - Controlling Advertising and Analytics” below.

Information Collected By Third-Party

Embedded Content: => Codewired displays some linked content in-line on the Codewired services via “embeds.” For example, Codewired posts that link to YouTube or Twitter may load the linked video or tweet within Codewired directly from those services to your device so you don’t have to leave Codewired to see it. In general, Codewired does not control how third-party services collect data when they serve you their content directly via these embeds. As a result, embedded content is not covered by this privacy policy but by the policies of the service from which the content is embedded.
Programmatic Ads: => We partner with third-party programmatic ad exchanges to show advertisements relevant to your interests. In providing those ads, those third parties collect information, including log and usage data and information from cookies as described above. These third parties do not receive any information from Codwired account.
