What kinds of information do we collect?
To provide the MyFamGram, we must process information
about you. The types of information we collect depend on how you
use our Products.
Things you and others do and provide.
- Information and content you provide. We collect the
content, communications and other information you provide when
you use our Products, including when you sign up for an account,
create or share content, and message or communicate with others.
This can include information in or about the content you provide
(like metadata), such as the location of a photo or the date a
file was created. It can also include what you see through
features we provide, such as our camera, so we can do things like
suggest masks and filters that you might like, or give you tips
on using camera formats. Our systems automatically process
content and communications you and others provide to analyze
context and what's in them for the purposes described below.

share.
- Your usage. We collect information about how you use our
Products, such as the types of content you view or engage with;
the features you use; the actions you take; the people or
accounts you interact with; and the time, frequency and duration
of your activities. For example, we log when you're using and
have last used our Products, and what posts, videos and other
content you view on our Products. We also collect information
about how you use features like our camera.
- Things others do and information they provide about you.
We also receive and analyze content, communications and
information that other people provide when they use our Products.
This can include information about you, such as when others share
or comment on a photo of you, send a message to you, or upload.
Device Information
As described below, we collect information from and about
the phones, and we combine this information across different
devices you use. For example, we use information collected about
your use of our Products on your phone to better personalize the
content or features you see when you use our Products on another
device.
Information we obtain from these devices includes:
- Device attributes: information such as the operating
system, hardware and software versions, battery level, signal
strength, available storage space, browser type, app and file
names and types, and plugins.
- Device operations: information about operations and
behaviors performed on the device, such as whether a window is
foregrounded or backgrounded, or mouse movements (which can help
distinguish humans from bots).
- Identifiers: unique identifiers, device IDs, and other
identifiers, such as from games, apps or accounts you use, and
Family Device IDs
- Device signals: Bluetooth signals, and information about
nearby Wi-Fi access points, beacons, and cell towers.
- Data from device settings: information you allow us to
receive through device settings you turn on, such as access to
your GPS location, camera or photos.
- Network and connections: information such as the name of
your mobile operator or ISP, language, time zone, mobile phone
number, IP address, connection speed.
- Cookie data: data from cookies stored on your device,
including cookie IDs and settings
Promote safety, integrity and security.
We use the information we have to verify accounts and
activity, combat harmful conduct, detect and prevent spam and other
bad experiences, maintain the integrity of our Products, and
promote safety and security . For example, we use data we have to
investigate suspicious activity or violations of our terms or
policies, or to detect when someone needs help.
Communicate with you.
We use the information we have to send you marketing
communications, communicate with you about our Products, and let
you know about our policies and terms. We also use your information
to respond to you when you contact us.
How can I manage or delete information about me?
We provide you with the ability to access, rectify, port
and erase your data. We store data until it is no longer necessary
to provide our services or until your account is deleted -
whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination that
depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected
and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs.
When you delete your account, we delete things you have posted,
such as your photos and status updates, and you won't be able to
recover that information later. Information that others have shared
about you isn't part of your account and won't be deleted. If you
don't want to delete your account but want to temporarily stop
using the Products, you can deactivate your account instead.
