“Automatically Collected” Information: When you access the Mix Services or open one of our HTML emails, we may automatically record certain information from your system by using different types of tracking technology. This “automatically collected” information may include Internet Protocol address (“IP Address”), a unique user ID, version of software installed, system type, the content and pages that you access on the Mix Services, and the dates and times that you visit the Mix Services.
Your User ID: Your User ID will be your first name and last initial along with your photograph. Your User ID is displayed throughout the Mix Services and is therefore available to the public. Other people can see your feedback, ratings and associated comments, etc. Therefore, the people to whom you have revealed your full name and image will be able to personally identify your activities on the Mix Services.
Mix uses the information that you provide or that we collect to operate, maintain, enhance, and provide all of the features and services found on the Mix Services as well as to track user-generated content and Users to the extent necessary to comply as a service provider with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other applicable laws.
We will use your email address, without further consent, for administrative communications such as notifying you of major Mix Services updates, for customer service purposes, to address copyright infringement or defamation issues, or to contact you regarding any content that you have posted to or downloaded from the Mix Services.
Mix uses all of the information that we collect to understand the usage trends and preferences of our Users, to improve the way the Mix Services works and looks, and to create new features and functionality.
Mix may use “Automatically Collected” information and “Cookies” information to:
Mix does not share your personally identifiable information with other organizations for their marketing or promotional uses without your prior express consent. Please be aware, however, that any personally identifiable information that you voluntarily choose to share with other users of the Mix Services – such as when you submit your photos, your conversation starters, or sign up for events – could become publicly available through the actions of others that are beyond the control of and without the knowledge or permission of Mix; and in that event, could be used without restriction. Please see our FAQ for more information on what information is required when signing up for a Mixer.
Mix may disclose Automatically Collected and other aggregate non-personally-identifiable information with interested third parties to assist such parties in understanding the usage and demographic patterns for certain programs, content, services, advertisements, promotions, or other functionality of Mix.
We may disclose some limited User information to affiliated companies or other businesses or persons to: provide web site hosting, maintenance, and security services; fulfill orders; conduct data analysis and create reports; offer certain functionality; and assist Mix in improving the Mix Services and creating new services features. We contractually require that these parties process such information in compliance with this Privacy Policy, we authorize only a limited use of such information, and we require these parties to use reasonable confidentiality measures.
Mix may disclose User information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. copyright or trademark law) or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant in the manner required by the requesting entity.
Mix also reserves the right to disclose User information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to take precautions against liability; protect Mix from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; to investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims or allegations; to assist government enforcement agencies; to protect the security or integrity of the Mix Services; or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Mix, our Users, or others.
You may, of course, decline to share your personally-identifiable information with Mix, in which case Mix will not be able to provide to you some of the features and functionality found on the Mix Services. You may view, update, correct, or delete your user information and preferences in your profile once you have logged in to the Mix Services.
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you account access or making corrections to your information. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE SECRECY OF YOUR UNIQUE PASSWORD AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION AT ALL TIMES.
Mix allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the Mix Services. These third-party ad servers or ad networks may use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements that appear within the Mix Services and they automatically receive your IP Address and other log file information when this happens. Such third-party ad servers may also use other technologies (such as cookies, javascript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize their advertising content.
Mix does not provide your personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks Mix to show an advertisement to a certain audience or audience segment 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.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks. This Privacy Notice does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites. Mix reserves the right the add or remove third-party ad networks or ad servers in its discretion and Mix may not at all times list such updated ad network or ad server partners in this Privacy Notice.
Mix uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Mix, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, Mix makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
If Mix learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. Mix may post a notice on the Mix Services if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive a free written notice of a security breach you should notify us at privacy@mixandmeet.com

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, Mix does not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from persons under 13 years-of-age. If Mix learns that personally-identifiable information of persons less than 13-years-of-age has been collected on or through the Mix Services, then Mix 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 Mix Services member, then please contact Mix at privacy@mixandmeet.com to have that child’s account terminated and information deleted.

By providing any data on the Mix Services, you hereby expressly consent to such transfers of your data to the United States or other countries.
In the event that Mix is acquired by or merged with a third-party entity, 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.
