3. Additional Information about the TurnSocial application and web toolbar platform

We operate the TurnSocial application and web toolbar platform (the "TurnSocial Platform"), which adds functionality to Publishers. If you are reading this policy, you are probably familiar with our web toolbar (collectively, the "TurnSocial bar") that Publishers place on their websites.

The previous Sections also apply to the use of the TurnSocial Platform. However, this Section is intended to clarify certain aspects with regard to the collection, usage and sharing of your information as part of the TurnSocial platform.

We share the information we collect through the TurnSocial platform in the same way described in "Our Site and Services" Section above. In addition, we may assist our advertising partners in setting cookies so that we can share all or some of the Anonymous Information with them. Our advertising partners use the Anonymous Information to deliver targeted advertising. Please see the section below on Choice if you do not want us to share information with our advertising partners.

We restrict access to Personal Information to TurnSocial employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our Services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination, if they fail to meet these obligations. Despite these measures, you should know that we cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with Personal Information and mistakes may happen.
