Privacy Policy

We built BrushSpace to make it easy to share information with your friends and people around you. We understand you may not want everyone in the world to have the information you share on BrushSpace; that is why we give you control of your information. Our default privacy settings limit the information displayed in your profile to your networks and other reasonable community limitations that we tell you about.

BrushSpace follows two core principles:

1. You should have control over your personal information.

BrushSpace helps you share information with your friends and people around you. You choose what information you put in your profile, including contact and personal information, pictures, interests and groups you join. And you control the users with whom you share that information through the privacy settings on the My Privacy page.

2. You should have access to the information others want to share.

There is an increasing amount of information available out there, and you may want to know what relates to you, your friends, and people around you. We want to help you easily get that information.

Sharing information should be easy. And we want to provide you with the privacy tools necessary to control how and with whom you share that information. If you have questions or ideas, please send them to privacy@brushSpace.com.

BrushSpace's Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you decide to share, and help you make informed decisions when using BrushSpace, located at www.brushSpace.com and its directly associated domains (collectively, "BrushSpace" or "Website")

By using or accessing BrushSpace, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should first contact our privacy staff at privacy@brushSpace.com. then serve as a liaison with us to resolve your concerns.

Use of Information Obtained by BrushSpace

When you register with BrushSpace, you create your own profile and privacy settings. Your profile information, as well as your name , email and photo, are displayed to people in the networks specified in your privacy settings to enable you to connect with people on BrushSpace. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by BrushSpace that we think you may find valuable.

Profile information is used by BrushSpace primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information by your privacy settings. In some cases where your privacy settings permit it (e.g., posting to your wall), other BrushSpace users may be able to supplement your profile.

Profile information you submit to BrushSpace will be available to users of BrushSpace who belong to at least one of the networks you allow to access the information through your privacy settings (e.g., school, geography, friends of friends). Your name, network names, and profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results across the BrushSpace network and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines. This is primarily so your friends can find you and send a friend request. People who see your name in searches, however, will not be able to access your profile information unless they have a relationship to you (friend, friend of friend, member of your networks, etc.) that allows such access based on your privacy settings.

BrushSpace may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a friend sends you a new message or poke, or someone posts on your wall, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.

Generally, you may opt out of such emails here, though BrushSpace reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

BrushSpace may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in a network like a band or movie and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you BrushSpace. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you and, where there are advertisements, they're more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put a favorite movie in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting a screening of a similar one in your town. But we don't tell the movie company who you are.

We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, BrushSpace Platform developers and other users of BrushSpace, to supplement your profile. Where such information is used, we generally allow you to specify in your privacy settings that you do not want this to be done or to take other actions that limit the connection of this information to your profile (e.g., removing photo tag links).

Profiles cannot be deleted once created
