1. Information we may collect
When you create or use an ET4F account, the service may collect information you provide such as your name, email address, username, account settings, advertising URLs and other profile information. Technical information such as IP address, login activity, browser or device information and referral data may also be recorded to operate and protect the service.
2. How information may be used
Information may be used to create and maintain your account, deliver traffic-exchange and advertising features, track credits and referrals, process account actions, communicate service information, prevent abuse, investigate security issues and improve ET4F.
3. Advertising and public content
ET4F includes public and member advertising features. Information you intentionally place in an advertisement, including titles, descriptions and destination URLs, may be visible to other members or public visitors. Do not include private information in advertising content.
4. Payments
When you purchase an upgrade or add-on, payment may be processed by a third-party payment provider such as PayPal. ET4F may receive transaction details needed to confirm the purchase and apply the corresponding account benefit. Payment providers handle payment information according to their own privacy practices.
5. Cookies and referral tracking
ET4F may use cookies or similar browser storage for login sessions, security, preferences, referral attribution and feature functionality. Referral information may be retained for a period of time so the referring member can receive appropriate credit when a visitor later registers.
6. Security and abuse prevention
Reasonable technical and administrative measures may be used to protect accounts and the platform. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so members should use a strong, unique password and keep account credentials private.
7. Data sharing
Personal information is not intended to be sold as a standalone product. Information may be shared with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate ET4F, process payments, deliver communications, comply with legal obligations, protect the service or investigate fraud and abuse.
8. Data retention
Account and transaction information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, maintain records, resolve disputes, prevent abuse and meet legal or accounting requirements. Public advertising history may remain in archive features as described by the applicable feature.
9. Your choices
You may update available account information from your member area. For questions about account information, privacy choices or deletion requests, contact ET4F support. Certain records may need to be retained when required for security, fraud prevention, transactions or legal obligations.
10. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as ET4F develops. Material changes should be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy where permitted by law.
