Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Donate Your Account collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to DonateYourAccount.com choose to interact with Donate Your Account in ways that require Donate Your Account to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Donate Your Account gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, when you sign in and donate your Twitter or Facebook account to a Campaign. In each case, Donate Your Account collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Donate Your Account. Donate Your Account does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Third Party Accounts
Donate Your Account requires access to Third Party Accounts to provide service. Third Party Accounts include Twitter and Facebook.
Access to Third Party Accounts is established through authenticating the "Donate Your Account" application on the Third Party website. Credentials to access Third Party Accounts are stored and refreshed upon expiration. Donate Your Account never has access to your Third Party Account password.
Donate Your Account will read and store basic details about your Third Party Account profile after authentication to provide service.
Donate Your Account will require the ability to publish to a Third Party Account on your behalf. Donate Your Account will only publish to a Third Party Account when a donation is utilized. A donation can only be utilized by a Campaign under the donation frequency terms of 1 publish a day, 1 publish a week or 1 publish per month.
Donate Your Account will not monitor your Third Party Account.
You can formally block Donate Your Account from accessing a Third Party Account by revoking access to the "Donate Your Account" application on the Third Party Account website.
