Directly from you:

Information About Yourself. When you sign up for icancanu you provide us with your name and email address. During the registration process we give you the opportunity to connect with your friends. You will also have the option of adding a picture of yourself. Once you register you can provide other information about yourself by connecting with, for example, your current city, hometown, family, relationships, networks, activities, interests, and places.

Content. One of the primary reasons people will use icancanu is to share content with others. Examples include when you post a favour, comment on a favour, 'like' a favour, upload a photo or video, share a link, create a group, or send someone a message. If you do not want us to store metadata associated with the content you share on icancanu (such as photos), please remove the metadata before uploading the content. What is metadata? Metadata is information that is embedded within certain types of content. For example, if you were to upload an image or video using an smart phone the GPS co-ordinates might be attached to the media content.

Favour Information. We may retain details of favour transactions that you make on icancanu. If you provide a favour to someone they will be able to see your details as if they were a friend unless you specifically hide these details.

Friend Information. It is the intention of icancanu to offer contact importer tools to help you upload your friends' addresses so that you can find your friends on icancanu, and invite your contacts that do not have in icancanu accounts to join.

From what you do on our site:

Site Usage. We may collect information about how you use the icancanu website, such as when you add connections (including joining a group or adding a friend), create a gallery, or indicate you "like'" a favour. In some cases we collect information about how you provide information or content to us. For example, if you share a video, in addition to storing the actual content you uploaded, we might log the fact that you shared it.

Access Device and Browser Information. When you access icancanu from a computer, mobile phone, or other device, we may collect information from that device about your browser type, location, and IP address, as well as the pages you visit.

Cookie Information. We use "cookies" (small text files saved to the hard drive of your computer, mobile phone, or other device) to make icancanu easier to use, to make our advertising better, and to protect both you and icancanu. For example, we use them to store your login ID (but never your password) to make it easier for you to login whenever you come back to icancanu. We also use them to confirm that you are logged into icancanu, and to know when you are interacting with icancanu’s applications and website, . You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases this may restrict your use of icancanu.

Information from third parties:

Information from other websites. We may enter into relationships with advertising partners and other websites in which they share information with us: For example, we may ask advertisers to tell us how our users responded to the advertisements we showed them (and for comparison purposes, how other users who didn't see the advertisements acted on their site). This data sharing, commonly known as "conversion tracking," helps us to measure our advertising effectiveness and improve the quality of the advertisements you see. We may receive information about whether or not you've seen or interacted with certain advertisements on other sites in order to measure the effectiveness of those advertisements. If in any of these cases we receive data that we do not already have, we will "anonymize" it within 180 days, meaning we will stop associating the information with any particular user. If we enter into relationships with third parties, we will only use the information in ways we explain in the "How We Use Your Information" section below.
