Cookies. Cookies are used on the Ripl Service. A "cookie" is a small file that we save on your computer's hard drive that contains non-personal information. Our cookies help to give you faster access to pages you have already visited, allow you to personalize your pages, and help you to participate in activities or events on the Ripl Service. They also assist us in customizing our offerings to you. Cookies do not contain any personal information about a specific user, other than their IP address. We do not use cookies to collect information specifically about you for sharing with third parties.
Web Beacons. Web beacons are small graphic images or other programming code (also known as "1×1 GIFS" or "clear GIFs"). We may include web beacons in the Ripl Service pages and email messages.

When you interact with the Ripl Service, if applicable, you may set up your personal profile, form friendships,
send messages, perform searches and queries, add content, and transmit information through various channels. We
may retain this information so that, for instance, you can return to view prior information you have sent or easily
see what your friends are posting. Any information you share in public areas, such as message boards, status updates, or feedback sections become
public, and therefore this Privacy Policy does not apply to such information. Please be careful about what you
disclose and do not share in public areas any personal information that you expect to keep private.
Tell-A-Friend Services
If we adopt (and you choose to use) an invitation service to tell a friend about the Ripl Service or features
thereon, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address. We
will automatically send your friend a one-time email or message inviting him or her to visit the Ripl Service. Ripl
stores this information only as long as needed to send this one-time invitation and to track the success of our
referral program. Your friend may contact us at support at ripl.com to request that we remove this information from
our database.

Third Parties Providing Services on Our Behalf.

We may provide these companies with access to user information, including personal information, to carry out the services they are performing for you or for us. While we may use: (a) third-party analytics service providers to evaluate and provide information about the use of the Ripl Service and viewing of our content and (b) ad-serving platforms, we do not share personal information with either of these types of entities. However, analytic service providers and ad-serving platforms may set and access their own cookies and web beacons on your device and they may otherwise collect or have access to limited information about you, including usage information.
Sweepstakes, Contests and Promotions. We may offer sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions (each, a "Promotion") through the Ripl Service that may require registration. By participating in a Promotion, you agree to the terms, conditions and/or official rules that govern that Promotion. If you choose to enter a Promotion, personal information may be disclosed to third parties or the public in connection with the administration of such Promotion, including, without limitation, in connection with winner selection, prize fulfillment, and as required by law or permitted by the Promotion's official rules, such as on a winners' list.
Administrative and Legal Reasons.
