We may require additional information from business accounts such as licenses, approvals, and any other information/documentation that we may deem necessary.

Using Your Private Information
We use users' information primarily to provide our connection services to them. This means that your provision to us of your personal information means that you are authorizing us to share such information with neighbors that you connect with on the platform.
Using Tomogi is free of charge, and we make our money by allowing businesses and organizations to pay us for showing you ads for their services and products. Your use of the Tomogi website/app in any way means that you accept our showings of ads, which we believe may be relevant to you as per your interests. You accept that our services cannot be provided and that this agreement cannot be performed without Tomogi processing data about you and other users and visitors. You also accept that the provision of personalized ads and content is very important to the provision of our Services and a core part of our agreement with you. We will, therefore, use your personal information to facilitate the conveyance of these third-party ads.
We may also use your personal information in the following ways:
To help us identify you and any user accounts that you hold with us; and to continually evaluate, improve, and advance our website/app and its services.
We will also use your personal information to let you know about significant changes to our website/app and services; and to let you know about products, events, and services that may be beneficial to you based on your interests and past browsing history.
We may use your information to detect problems with our application and to resolve such problems, as well as for the detection and resolution of disputes.

Finally, we may use your personal information, when so needed, to detect and protect ourselves against fraudulent behaviour, error, or other criminal activities.
Disclosing Your Information
We may disclose your private information with third parties that you have authorized us to share such information with.
We may also share your personal information (in reply to a subpoena, similar investigative demand, or a court order) with relevant government officials and legal authorities if we are lawfully compelled to do so.
To continue to fund our activities which we deploy to you free of charge, we may permit third parties to exhibit advertisements on the platform. Some of these companies may use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to collect information about users who view or interact with their advertisements, which may allow them access to certain of your personal information.
We may also share your personal information, including your legal name and address with our authorized service providers that deploy specific services on our behalf.
With the exception of the aforementioned, we will never intentionally give, exchange, or trade your personal information to third parties.
Cookies and Other Technologies
Tomogi uses "cookies" to allow our users experience no hassles when they register a user account and to ensure that their subsequent log in attempts is successful and stress-free. We do this by enabling the cookies to automatically collect certain information about your activity online. This may include but is not limited to your clicked links, viewed pages, searched pages, and clicked ads.
Most browsers are designed to accept cookies automatically, but you have the option of denying or accepting the use of cookies. You can still use our services when you reject cookies, but your use may not be as stress-free as it would have been if you accepted cookies.
We may occasionally use web beacons to trail your use of the platform and may integrate web beacons into advertisements, promotional messages, and/or email messages so that we can determine if you have opened or acted upon such messages.
Our deployment of cookies and other technologies, as explained above, enables us to streamline the services we offer so that they are always useful to our users. It also helps us to deliver targeted adverts.
Personally-Identifying Information While Using Our Service
The Tomogi app/website encourages users to post personal information, communicate with others, and/or to upload content.
Your use of the platform means that you agree that any voluntarily revealed personal information about you will be on publicly-accessible web pages, and will be obtainable publicly. It is therefore, important that you exercise common sense and judicious caution when it comes to uploading identifiable personal information.
How You Can Access Your Information
It is important that we have your most accurate and most current information on file and therefore encourage that you sign in to your account and change your profile appropriately where your information changes so that we can update our records.
You may also deactivate your profile at any time by viewing the "Account Settings" page for your account. After deactivating your profile, all your information will no longer be available to other users of the website/app.
When you remove your profile, we may still retain certain information associated with your account for recordkeeping integrity and analytical purposes, to avoid fraud, enforce our terms of use, take actions necessary to protect the integrity of our website/app, or take other actions otherwise allowable by law.
Third-Party Website/Apps
Links to other website/apps abound on Tomogi. Users must understand that these third-party website/apps have privacy policies that may be significantly different from us. We will not bear responsibility for the manner such parties may solicit and collect data from you and their use or disclosure of the collected of such information. We caution that you read the privacy policies of these third-party website/apps before you use them.
Minors
People who have reached the age of 13 in the United States are welcome to use our site, but only persons who are over the age of 16 in EU countries can use the services. We thus will never willingly collect personal information from users younger than 13 in the United States and younger than 16 in the EU.
No Rights of Third Parties
This Privacy Policy does not recognize third parties and does not create rights enforceable by third parties.
Security of Information
We do all we can to ensure the safety of users' private information and prevent such information from getting into unauthorized hands. Some of the ways we ensure this security include ensuring the proper use of information by our staff, the deployment of administrative and practical measures and practices, and the use of SSL technology.
While we do our vest to ensure the security of information, you, however, accept that we will not be legally accountable for any information breach that occurs through no just fault of ours.
Changes
We may change or update this Privacy Policy to clarify changes in the way that we use, share or protect your personal information and will post the most current versions on this page any time that we so make a change. We will take this as your continued approval of our privacy policy, where you continue to use the app/website after any amendment.
