OpiNatio Privacy Policy
The OpiNatio mobile application and services, as well as OpiNatio websites and services (the "Sites") and any content therein (collectively, the "Services") offer users a forum to interact with other OpiNatio users in the same area, in order to post and share comments, and to respond to comments posted by others.

How We Share Information:
You cannot control who views your content; any content you post is publicly available. So, if you don't want to share something publicly, don't post it. OpiNatio is a social network, and the content you post may be shared with and viewable by others. We do not identify you by name or contact information to other OpiNatio users. However, we cannot prevent others from determining your identity from the content you post or how you share content through third party sites.
The information we collect, including personally identifiable information, may be shared as follows:
· OpiNatio Users.
Any information that you post, including comments, replies and other information is publicly available. We cannot control how your information is used by others. Your posts are available to all other users. Users can also freely share any OpiNatio content, no matter who posted it, through other third party sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. And, your posts may be publicly distributed outside of OpiNatio by us or third parties.
· Service Providers.
We may disclose the information we collect to third party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents who perform functions on our behalf.
· Business Transfers.
We may transfer the information we have collected to another company in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business.
· Third Parties and Partners.
We may share the information with our third party partners, including advertisers and researchers. For example, if you post content that mentions one of our advertisers, we may share that content with them. Or, we may work with a researcher to analyse the content on a particular feed.

Cookies:
"Cookies" are small data file identifiers that are transferred to your computer that allow us to recognize your browser and transfer information about you and your use of our Services. For example, cookies that we use tell us how many times you have visited one of our Sites. We use "persistent" cookies to save your login information for future logins to the Services. We also use "session ID" cookies to enable certain features of the Services, to better understand how you interact with the Services and to monitor aggregate usage by users and web traffic routing on the Services. Unlike persistent cookies, session ID cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from a Service and close your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from our Sites. If you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use all portions of the Services or all functionality of the Services.
Third Party Analytics:
We may use automated devices and applications, included those offered by third parties to evaluate usage of our Services. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our Services. We use these tools to help us improve our Services, performance and user experiences. The information collected may include unique device identifiers, device manufacturer and operating system, IP address, browser type, session start/stop time, and user activity. From within the App, you may opt out of the collection of this information by third party analytics companies for the App (but not for the Sites) by setting the toggle at the end of the Policy to the right. The opt-out is not available on the Sites. Please note that if you choose to opt out of any data collection, that opt-out will not result in the deletion of data that has already been collected from the App. To learn how Google Analytics uses your data from the Sites and how to opt out of collection of your information by Google Analytics via the Sites please visithttp://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.htmlandhttps://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
