Welcome to myTimeline™, a service provided by Timeline, Inc. ("myTimeline," "we," "our," or "us").

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, use, and disclose your information when you use Timelineinc.com (the “Website”) and all related sites, widgets, tools, apps, data, software, APIs, and other services provided by myTimeline (the “Services”). This Privacy Policy applies to anyone visiting the Website or using the Services (“you,” “your,” or “user”) and also to anyone registering a myTimeline account (a “Member”).

This Privacy Policy explains the following:

• Our principles with respect to your information and your privacy
• The information we collect about you & how we use your information
• How we share your information
• How we use cookies and similar technology
• Your choices with respect to your information
• How to contact us regarding privacy issues

By using the Website or any of the Services, and in particular by registering a myTimeline account, you are consenting to the use of your information in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy. Please take some time to read this Privacy Policy and make sure you are happy with our use and disclosure of your information.

If you do not agree to any of the provisions of this Privacy Policy, you should not use the Website or any of the Services. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact us at privacy@timelineinc.com.

Please note that this Privacy Policy only applies to the Website and the Services (together, the “Platform”). When using the Platform, you may find links to other websites, apps, and services, or tools that enable you to share information with other websites, apps, and services. myTimeline is not responsible for the privacy practices of these other websites, apps and services and we recommend that you review the privacy policies of each of these websites, apps, or services before connecting your myTimeline account or sharing any personal data.

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do so, we will also revise the Effective Date at the top of this page. Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be available here so that myTimeline users and Members are always aware of what information we gather, and how we might use and share that information. Please be sure to check back here from time to time to ensure that you are aware of any changes to this Privacy Policy. Any material changes to this Privacy Policy will be communicated to Members by a notification to their account and/or by posting a notice of the change on the Website.

Our Principles

Our approach to data protection and privacy is built on two simple principles:

1. Transparency. You should know what information we collect and what we do with that information. If there is anything unclear in this Privacy Policy, please contact us at privacy@timelineinc.com.
2. Control. You should have control over your information. This Privacy Policy explains how we use and share your information. Members may update or delete private information in their membership profile at any time.
3. Security. The security of your information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Only For Use By Adults

myTimeline is intended for use by adults. Anyone under the age of 18 is not permitted to use the Platform and must not attempt to register an account or submit any personal information to us. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from any person who is under the age of 18 or allow them to register an account. If it comes to our attention that we have collected personal data from a person under the age of 18, we will delete this information as quickly as possible. Nothing, however, in this policy is intended to prevent a member from submitting personal information for their own child or children. If you have reason to believe that we may have improperly collected any such personal data, please notify us immediately at privacy@timelineinc.com.
