This Privacy Policy explains 3taps’ policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information through our services. “Personal Information” means information that would allow a party to contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, or email address.

As a general matter, 3taps services are designed to be open and easily accessible by anyone in the world. If you post in or through 3taps, you should expect that your posting will be broadly and instantly disseminated. This policy is not so much concerned with your postings since there really will be no privacy as to what is disseminated to the public, but rather is concerned with the Personal Information that we might receive through your use of the 3taps services. To further understand the nature of 3taps, we urge you to also read our Terms of Service.
