of some of the key updates. To learn more about our approach to privacy,

How we collect and
use data.
- We’ve updated some of the ways in which we
collect and analyse user data in order to deliver services, content,
relevant advertising and abuse protection.
- This includes: analysing content and
information when you use our services (including emails, instant messages,
posts, photos, attachments and other communications), linking your
activity on other sites and apps with information that we have about you,
and providing anonymised and/or aggregated reports to other parties
regarding user trends.
Sharing data with
Verizon.
- Oath and its affiliates may share the
information that we receive with Verizon. Learn more about Verizon’s privacy practices.
Combining data.
- We also combine data among our services and
across your devices. This will provide you with better personalised
services and features across your devices and Oath accounts. We’ve
provided information about your choices with respect to your use of our
services, and have given you control in our Privacy Controls section.
Key points in Terms
of Service
- We’ve specified the legal
entity that provides each service to you.
For some services,
this may be a different entity than the entity that previously provided the
service. We’ve also reserved the right to transfer the providing entity for
each service in the future.
- General provisions that
apply to billing, auto-renewal and refunds have been added.
Unless the additional
terms for a service override the Terms of Service, these provisions apply to
your use of our paid services.
- Applicability of Terms.
If you are using our
services on behalf of another account owner (e.g., as an administrator,
consultant or analyst) or on behalf of a company, business or other entity, the
Terms of Service apply to your activities and are binding on the account owner
or entity.
- Indemnity for non-personal
use.
If you are using our
Services on behalf of a company, business or other entity, or if you are using
our Services for commercial purposes, we’ve added an indemnity provision, which
requires you and the entity to protect us against certain legal actions.
Business-to-business.
- The Oath Business-to-Business Privacy
Policy applies
when you use Flurry, Gemini, ONE by AOL, Convertro, BrightRoll or any
other Oath business-to-business products. All other consumer-facing
activities are covered by the Oath Privacy Policy. Learn more
