Through Somebody, you will be able to send messages to, and receive messages from, other Somebody users via other Somebody users, who agree to act as the proxy for the sending user in transmitting messages to the receiving user.

Who May Use Somebody

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a valid and legally enforceable agreement to access and use Somebody. Use of Somebody is void where prohibited. By using Somebody, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you use Somebody, you represent and warrant that you have never been convicted of a felony and that you are not required to register as a sex offender with any government entity. You also acknowledge and agree that messages may be transmitted to you through a complete stranger who is also a user of Somebody, and that Advanced Mercy disclaims all liability with respect to the delivery of messages and interactions between Somebody users.

License to Use Somebody

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Advanced Mercy grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download and install a copy of Somebody to a mobile device that you own or control, and to access, display and use Somebody solely for your own limited personal, non-commercial use. This license is personal to you and may not be assigned or sublicensed to anyone else.

With whom we share all of such information.

Registration

To use Somebody, you may register an account by using your Facebook login or you may register and sign in using your personal email account. By creating an account, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. When creating an account, you may be required to provide certain personal information about yourself and will establish a username and a password. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself in creating your account.

If you sign in using your Facebook account, you are authorizing us to access certain information in your Facebook account, including information about Facebook friends you might share in common with other Somebody users. By allowing us to access your Facebook account, you expressly acknowledge and agree that we may obtain and share your name and profile picture, as well as the name and profile picture of your Facebook friends who are common Facebook friends with other Somebody users in your network or geolocation.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, false or misleading or to reclaim any username that you create through Somebody that violates this Agreement.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, and agree to notify us if your password is lost, stolen, or disclosed to an unauthorized third party, or otherwise may have been compromised. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.

Term and Termination; Account Deletion

This Agreement begins on the date you first use Somebody and continues until terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Advanced Mercy may suspend, disable, or delete your account (or any part thereof) if Advanced Mercy determines that you have violated any provision of this Agreement or that your conduct or content would tend to damage Advanced Mercy’s reputation or goodwill. If Advanced Mercy deletes your account for the foregoing reasons, you may not re-register under a different name.

Upon termination, all licenses granted by Advanced Mercy will terminate. In the event of account deletion for any reason, content that you submitted may no longer be available. Advanced Mercy shall not be responsible for the loss of such content.

Advanced Mercy reserves the right to modify Somebody. You are responsible for providing your own access to Somebody. Advanced Mercy has no obligation to screen or monitor any content and does not guarantee that any content available on Advanced Mercy complies with this Agreement or is suitable for all users.
Advanced Mercy provides Somebody on an “as is” and “as available” basis. You therefore use Somebody at your own risk. Advanced Mercy expressly disclaims any and all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any other warranty that might arise under any law.

If you are unable to deliver such message for any reason, including without limitation your inability to find the intended recipient, you must communicate your inability to deliver the message using Somebody’s prompts. Advanced Mercy reserves the right to terminate the accounts of users who fail to notify Somebody when they are unable or unwilling to deliver a message that they have committed to delivering.

Advanced Mercy has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor all conduct on and content submitted to Somebody. The content available through Somebody has not been reviewed, verified or authenticated by us, and may include inaccuracies or false information.

Last Updated: March 6, 2015

This Privacy Policy explains the information that Advanced Mercy Incorporated (“Advanced Mercy,” “we,” or “us”) collects from and about users of the Somebody mobile application and related website and services (“Somebody”), how we use that information, and with whom we share it. If we make any material changes to our privacy practices, we will post a revised Privacy Policy on this page. If you have any questions, please contact us by sending an email to info@somebodyapp.com or writing to Advanced Mercy Incorporated, P.O. Box 26596, Los Angeles, CA, 90026.

1. Information we collect

We may collect and store certain information you provide to us when accessing or using Somebody, such as when you create an account and profile, send or receive messages or post or otherwise submit information or other content to Somebody. This may include certain personal information, like your name, picture, email address and phone number, and the content of your message, as well as certain non-identifying information, like your gender, birthday and zip code. We may also collect the contact information of your friends from your mobile device address book, if you choose to connect your contacts and address book information with your Somebody account, and your login credentials to your social network accounts, such as Facebook, as well as your name and profile picture and the name and profile picture of your connections in those accounts that are shared with other Somebody users in your network or geolocation, if you choose to connect those accounts with your Somebody account.

We also automatically collect certain information when you access or use Somebody, such as your location/GPS coordinates (if you enable location services on your mobile device), a device identifier (but not the UDID), MAC address, wireless service provider, Internet Protocol (IP) address (if using a browser), operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring site and your activity on Somebody.

Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable screens or pages, including without limitation your Somebody profile, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information.

You will also be required to disclose your information in order to receive messages passed to you by another Somebody user. You may also (but are not required to) provide information about yourself (such as your gender, URL, or a biography). Any additional image or information you provide may be publicly displayed. If you wish, we will delete your account information; to do so, please close your account by sending an email to info@somebodyapp.com.

How we use your information

We use your information in the following ways and as described elsewhere in this privacy policy: to provide and improve our services, customize services for you, better understand our users, and diagnose and fix problems, and sell and display offers and ads that may be relevant to you. We may also send you emails about updates to the Somebody application and new projects being released by Miranda July.

Geo-location-information:

While the Somebody application is in use, we keep track of your device’s geographic location so that messages from a Somebody user can be delivered to you by another Somebody user.

3. How we disclose and share your information

We may share user information with third parties for various reasons as described below. What information we make available to such third parties depends on the nature of our relationships with them.

Somebody Users: As described above, any information that you include in your profile or otherwise disclose on public pages is considered public information and accessible by other Somebody users. In addition, when you access Somebody from your mobile device, generalized information about your location is continually made viewable to Somebody users who are in your general proximity. If you do not want any information about your location to be made public to other Somebody users, then you should disable location services on your mobile device for Somebody or cease use of Somebody entirely. If you accept a request to have a message delivered to you through Somebody, we may share certain of your personal information, as described in this Agreement, and your exact location/GPS coordinates with the user delivering the message. Your specific location/GPS coordinates will not be shared unless you accept a request to have a message delivered to you through Somebody.

Service Providers: We may share all of the types of information we collect with vendors who provide technical hosting and support services to us.

Analytics Companies: We allow analytics companies to use tracking technologies to collect information about our users' computers or mobile devices and their online activities. These companies analyze this information to help us understand how our sites and apps are being used. Analytics companies may use mobile device IDs. Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted.

What we don't share: We do not provide third parties (other than Somebody users, including those who are charged with delivering a message to you, service providers, and certain other parties in connection with legal matters and corporate restructurings as described herein) with your name, address, email address, or phone number.

Aggregated and Non-Personal Information: We may publicly disclose and share with any third party aggregated and/or non-personal information about our users, such as the total number of our users and their overall demographics, for any purpose.

Legal matters: We may disclose any information from or about you: in response to a legal request, such as a subpoena, court order, or government demand; to investigate or report illegal activity; or to enforce our rights or defend claims. We may also transfer your information to another company in connection with a corporate restructuring, such as a sale or merger.

4. Linked Services

Somebody may contain links to third-party services and sites, and may carry advertisements or offer content or functionality developed and maintained by unaffiliated companies. Advanced Mercy is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such third-party services and sites and unaffiliated companies. Once you leave Somebody or click an advertisement you will be bound by, and should review, the applicable privacy policy of the other site or service.

Security

The security of your information is very important to us. Advanced Mercy implements a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your Information. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be secure. As a result, while we take measures to protect your information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you send to us or that we store on our servers. Your use of Somebody demonstrates your assumption of this risk.

Children's privacy

We do not allow persons under 18 to register for or use Somebody, and we do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from persons under the age of 18. If we become aware that personally identifiable information from a child younger than 18 years of age has been collected without the consent of such child’s parent or guardian, we will delete such information from our database without requesting permission to do so.

7. Information from users outside the United States

If you’re outside the United States, your information will be sent to and stored in the United States, where our servers are located. By using Somebody, you agree to the information collection, use, and sharing practices described in this Privacy Policy.
