We collect information about you when you use our sites and applications. We collect information directly from you such as your contact information. We receive and store this information when you enter it on our website, send it to us, or provide it to us in any other way.

You can also restrict the information available to others by deleting information you do not want visible or by not providing it at all.
When you post information on another user’s profile or comment on another user’s post, the public availability of that information will be subject to the other user's privacy settings.

13. Cookies and Online Advertising
Cookies: Hashtag Name It uses "cookies" to help personalise and maximise your online experience and time online, including for storing user preferences, improving search results and ad selection, and tracking user trends. A cookie is a text file stored on your computer. Cookies store bits of information that we use to help make our site work. They can’t run any code and don’t contain viruses. No one can read our cookies except us.
We use cookies to improve your experience on our sites. We use the following types of cookies:
- Security: These cookies allow us to secure access to your account.

- Advertising: We use non-identifiable information about you to show you advertising.
Some cookies will remain on your computer after you have left our site.
We also allow other companies to display advertisements to you while you are using our sites and applications. Because your web browser must request these advertisements from the other companies’ servers, these companies can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. Hashtag Name It has no control over, and is not responsible for, the practices of those third party advertisers. The data stored in these cookies is anonymous and the information is not linked to your personally identifiable information without your permission.
Hashtag Name It also uses web beacons (sometimes called pixels, clear GIFs or action tags) and JavaScript.

14. Social Media and Content Sharing
Social Media Widgets: Our site includes social media features, such as the Facebook Like button and widgets, such as the Share This button. These features may collect your IP address and the page on our site you are visiting and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
Referrals: If you choose to use our service to share site content with a friend, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. Hashtag CV Ltd temporarily stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
