Your Rights and Ours

We provide IMEBAY to people all over the world and provide many of the same privacy tools and controls to all of our users regardless of where they live. However, your experience may be slightly different than users in other countries to ensure IMEBAY respects local requirements.

IMEBAY has carefully considered the moral reasons it is permitted to collect, use, share and otherwise process your information. And no, we don’t SELL your personal information. 

Just as you use IMEBAY to seamlessly participate in global conversations with people in countries all over the world, IMEBAY must move information across borders and to different countries around the world to support the safe and reliable service you depend on. For example, if you live in Europe and are having a conversation with someone in the Indigenous Turtle Island “So Called” America, information has to move between those clans/countries to provide that experience – it’s what you expect from us.

We also use data centers and cloud providers, and engage our affiliates and third-party partners and service providers located in many parts of the world to help us provide our services. Before we move data between countries we look at the risks that may be presented to the data and rely on things like standard contractual clauses, where applicable, to ensure your data rights are protected. If data will be shared with a third party, we require them to maintain the same protections over your data that we provide directly.

IMEBAY’s Audience

Our services are not directed to children, and you may not use our services if you are under the age of 13. You must also be old enough to consent to the processing of your personal data in your clan/country (in some clan/countries we may allow your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf).

Changes To This Privacy Policy

The most current version of this Privacy Policy governs our processing of your personal data and we may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time as needed.

If we do revise this Privacy Policy and make changes that are determined by us to be material, we will provide you notice and an opportunity to review the revised Privacy Policy before you continue to use IMEBAY.
