Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 5, 2017

Welcome to the web site www.beingtheapp.com, and any other web sites, applications, or services provided, owned, or operated by Pressto, Inc. (with its affiliates, "Pressto") that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Being Services"). Pressto values the privacy of users, subscribers, publishers, members, and others who visit and use the Being Services (collectively or individually, "you" or "users") and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose information from and about you.

There are many different ways you can use the Being Services (e.g., to broadcast live content, view live broadcasts, communicate with others). Once you publish information publicly on the Being Services - such as when you broadcast content, posts comments, participate in a chat, post profile information, or follow a user – that information may be collected and used by others, so only share what you would want to be public. There are also ways in which you directly share information with Pressto; one example is by creating an account.

By agreeing to this Privacy Policy in your Pressto account setup, or by using the Being Services, you expressly consent to the information handling practices described in this Policy.

When you access the Being Services through social media networks or when you connect any of the Being Services to social media networks, you are authorizing Pressto to collect, store, and use such information and content in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also obtain information from third party services regarding your use of such services, including about your use of the content you choose to broadcast through the Being Services.

When Pressto Discloses Information

Pressto does not share information that can identify you personally with third parties for their own marketing or promotional uses without your consent. We may share such information for the following purposes:

• We may disclose such information to service providers working on our behalf, such as, to: provide web site hosting, maintenance, and security services; fulfill orders; conduct data analysis and create reports; offer certain functionality; or assist Pressto in improving the Being Services and creating new services and features. We require that these parties process such information in compliance with this Privacy Policy, we authorize them to use the information only for the purposes for which it is provided to them, and we require these parties to use reasonable confidentiality measures.
• If you connect to a third party service (such as Facebook, Twitter, or another third-party application) through an icon or link on the Being Services or otherwise link your Pressto account with a third party service, we may share information (such as your user name, the fact that your connection originated from the Being Services, and other relevant usage and diagnostic information) with such third party.  With your consent, we may also send information about the content you upload, broadcast, or watch, or your activities on the Being Services to such third parties. The third party’s use of your information will be subject to that service's privacy policy and this Privacy Policy will not apply.

• Pressto may make information available to our affiliates (meaning entities controlled by, controlling, or under common control with Pressto), if any.

• Pressto may disclose user information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with U.S. state and federal laws or other applicable laws around the world (for example, in the country of your residence); or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant in the manner legally required.

• Pressto also reserves the right to disclose information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to: take precautions against liability to Pressto; protect Pressto and the Being Services from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; investigate and defend ourselves against third party claims, or allegations to protect the security or integrity of the Being Services; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Pressto and the Being Services, our users, or others.

Your Choices

You may decline to share certain information with Pressto, in which case Pressto may not be able to provide to you some of the features and functionality found on the Being Services. To update, correct, or delete certain information and establish preferences regarding your profile on Pressto, visit the Settings Page.

To protect your privacy and security, we may take steps to verify your identity before granting you access or making corrections to your information. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

Advertisers and Analytics Providers

We may use third-party Web analytics services on our site, such as those of Google Analytics and Mixpanel. These service providers use a variety of tracking technologies such as cookies to analyze how users use the Being Services. The information collected will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Being Services. To learn about opting out of Google Analytics, please; click here. To opt out of Mixpanel, please click here. Because these opt outs are cookie-based, please note that if you get a new computer or device, install or start using a new browser, or erase or alter your browser's cookie file, you may need to opt out again.

Pressto may allow advertisers, third-party advertising networks and third-party advertising serving companies to serve advertisements directly to you within the Being Services and other Pressto sites, services and software. By serving these advertisements directly to you, these companies can set their own cookies on your computer and trigger their own Web beacons and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements, and to collect and track information such as demographic information, inferred interests, aggregated information, and activity to assist them in personalizing the advertising content delivered to you. Pressto does not provide information that personally identifies you to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks Pressto to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, males age 18 to 25) or audience segment (for example, males age 18 to 25 who have subscribed to certain broadcasters) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience that they were trying to reach.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the tracking technologies and activities of, those other advertisers, third-party advertising networks, or third-party advertising servers. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these advertisers, third-party advertising networks, or third-party advertising servers. For more information about third-party advertising networks and similar entities that use these technologies, see http://www.aboutads.info/consumers , and to opt-out of such ad networks' and services' advertising practices, go to the; Network Advertising Initiative opt-outpage, the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page, or the Your Online Choices page. Pressto does not control which companies participate in these opt-out programs or how these companies honor their opt-out choices.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third party purposes, and that is why we provide the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out links above. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.

Data Security

Pressto uses a variety of managerial, technical, and physical measures to protect the integrity and security of your information. These measures may vary based on the sensitivity of your information. For example, we send encrypted data over a secure connection if you choose to search for other users using the Being Services via your mobile phone’s address book, and we do not store this information. However, no security precautions or systems can be completely secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Pressto or on the Being Services, and you do so at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

Children's Privacy

IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE BEING SERVICES AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER.

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, Pressto does not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from persons under 13 years-of-age. If Pressto learns that personal information of persons under 13-years-of-age has been collected on or through the Being Services, Pressto will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.

If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 who has become a user of any of the Being Services, then please contact Pressto at feedback@mashfeed.com to have that child's account terminated and personal information deleted.

Merger or Sale

In the event that Pressto, or some or all assets related to the Being Services are acquired by or merged with a third-party entity or in connection with a contemplated change of ownership transaction, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information that we have collected from users as part of that merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control event.

Changes and Updates to this Privacy Policy

Pressto reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time (for example to reflect updates to the Being Services or to reflect changes in the law). If Pressto changes this Privacy Policy, we will provide you notice of these changes, such as by sending an email, posting a notice on the Being Services, or updating the "Last Updated" date above. Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for those changes. Your continued use of the Being Services after the posting of changes constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes.
