We can use such analysis to gain insights about how to improve the functionality and user experience of the Services.

The Services may integrate with social sharing features and other related tools which allow you share content received or uploaded through the Services with other apps, sites, or media, and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the social sharing service. Please refer to the privacy policies of those social sharing services for more information about how they handle the udata you provide to or share through them.
Are There Privacy Policies for Children?
Children’s privacy is very important to us. TimeSpring does not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow them to register. If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you may use the Services only under the supervision of an adult. If TimeSpring discovers that we have collected information from a child under 13 years of age, we will remove that information immediately and deactivate any accounts. If you believe a child under the age of 13 may have provided us with information, please contact us at: report@timespring.com.

- 4. With other Users, including any Senders, Recipients or third parties only with your prior consent.
TimeSpring may also provide information to third parties that provide its services to us to help conduct our business activities, such as processing payments and offering customer service. These third parties are obligated to keep your information confidential and are authorized to use only the information deemed necessary to provide their services.
In the event that TimeSpring is involved in a sale of all or a portion of its assets, a merger or acquisition, Users will be notified via e-mail or a notice of such change in ownership will be posted on our Services to inform you of any changes with respect to collecting your information.
How Is Your Information Protected and Stored?
The security of Users’ information is very important to us. TimeSpring follows generally accepted standards when it comes to protecting its Users’ information. However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure and TimeSpring makes no guarantee about its security systems being completely secure and safe.
Credit/debit card numbers are never stored on our servers or databases. TimeSpring may store User information on servers or databases located outside of our direct control. Currently, TimeSpring stores content using the third-party storage provider Amazon Web Services Simple Storage Service (“Amazon S3”). Users agree that TimeSpring may exchange information with Amazon S3 in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For more information on Amazon S3, visit https://aws.amazon.com/s3/details/.
TimeSpring stores all User content, including sent messages, pending messages, and information, for the active duration of a User’s account. If a User terminates/deactivates their account, any stored content, information and messages may be lost including sent messages and pending messages (unless storage of such content or information is required by law).
Upon registration of an account with TimeSpring, Users will be prompted to select one or more third-parties who are permitted access to their account in the event of an emergency. In such an event, the third-party will only be allowed to access the User’s account to ensure that any pending messages are successfully sent but will not be allowed to send new messages from the User’s account or to update any of the User’s account information.
What Happens If Your Information Is Compromised?
If a User’s information is compromised, we will notify them immediately via e-mail and/or post a notice on our Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TimeSpring will not be liable for any unintentional disclosure or disclosures that occur due to security breaches of our systems and capabilities.
What Options Do Users Have to Limit the Collection of Information?
Users may agree to submit or decline to submit information to us. If a User declines to submit information to us, they will not be able to access or use certain features of our Services.
Users also have the option to update, change, remove, correct or request that certain information be removed from their account profiles. Most changes may be made using the “Settings” feature on each User’s account. If a User wishes to deactivate their account indefinitely, they may do so using the “Setting” feature on their account or by contacting TimeSpring directly to process this request.
Links to Other Websites
Our Services may provide links to other websites whose privacy policies may differ from ours. Linking to other third party websites means that those third party privacy policies will govern. We encourage Users to be cautious when visiting these third party sites and to carefully read and understand its privacy policies.
