4. How we share the information we collect


We may share the information we collect, including your personal information, as follows:


4.1 Sharing with Google and other services

If you connect to EchoMTG using Google or otherwise connect your EchoMTG account to an Other Integrated Service, the default setting is generally that EchoMTG automatically shares your activity and activity-related stories with that service. You understand that such information may be attributed to your account on Google or the Other Integrated Service and may be published on such service. See section 5 below to learn how you can disable sharing of information on Google and Other Integrated Services.

You understand and agree that Google’s or other third parties’ use of information they collect from you is governed by their privacy policies, and EchoMTG’s use of such information is governed by this Privacy Policy.


4.2 Sharing with Third Party Applications

To personalize your experience, we may share some information we have collected about you with providers of Third Party Applications, such as high-level geographic information, your personal preferences, settings and technical data. However, we take precautions to prohibit Third Party Application providers from attempting to identify you by using the information we provide to them or by collecting additional information without your consent.

Please note that if you:

actively choose to provide Third Party Applications with additional information, such as by visiting a Third Party Application (which enables collection of your IP address) or allowing us to share precise geographic data which Third Party Application providers request from us; or

consent to collection of additional information about you by a Third Party Application provider when you for example register with or log in to the Third Party Application,

the Third Party Application may be able to identify you and associate the information previously provided by EchoMTG with you. You agree and understand that a Third Party Application provider’s privacy policy governs its use of your information that we provide to it or that it collects from you.


4.3 Service providers and others

We may from time to time engage other companies in the EchoMTG group and third party service providers to perform functions and process user data, consistent with section 3 above. Third party service providers’ processing of user data will always be subject to security and confidentiality obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.


4.4 Other sharing

In addition to the above, we may also share your information to third parties for these limited purposes:

to allow a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets;

to respond to legal process (e.g. a court order or subpoena), if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to do so; to comply with requirements of mandatory applicable law; to protect the safety of any person; to protect the rights and property of EchoMTG, including to enforce the Terms and Conditions of Use and Mobile Terms; and to address fraud, security or technical issues;

to inform business partners about use of the Service and products and services made available through the Service, in the form of aggregated statistics or otherwise in a format which does not reveal your identity;

if you expressly opt in to such sharing.

You agree and understand that the privacy policies of the third parties will govern all use of information that we provide to it or that it collects from you.
