" Any personal information or video content that you voluntarily disclose online (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas, within
your public profile page, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others. Your account name (not your email
address) is displayed to other Users when you upload videos or send messages through the Rubyfruit Cafe Sites and other Users can

consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may, however, use your
email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major Rubyfruit Cafe Site
changes or for customer service purposes).
" We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage
data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the Rubyfruit Cafe Sites and to create
new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.

the next time you visit the Rubyfruit Cafe Sites; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of
our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your entries,
submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests.
When Rubyfruit Cafe Discloses Information
" We provide personally identifiable information and non-personally-identifiable information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other
businesses or persons for the purpose of processing such information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such

appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

commercial or marketing use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to
opt-in or opt-out.
" We do share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types,
number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services,
advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the Rubyfruit Cafe Sites.
" We may release personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable 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 Law) or respond to a court order,
subpoena, or search warrant.

Rubyfruit Cafe believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to
investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the
security or integrity of our web site, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Rubyfruit Cafe, our Users or others.

These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on
