In addition, NestGSV Inc. and the Misk Foundation content may be included on web pages and websites that are not associated with NestGSV Inc. or the Misk Foundation and over which we have no control.

III. HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED?
We use different methods to collect information from and about you, including through:

- Community Features. The Service may provide you the opportunity to participate and post User Content publicly through reviews, surveys, interactive features, or other communication functionality (“Community Features”). We may provide functionality for you to submit or post User Content through Community Features, by linking the Sites to a third party service, or otherwise. Please note that certain information, such as your name, may be publicly displayed on the Sites along with your User Content. User Content consisting of uploaded files may contain metadata, which may contain Personal Information or other information about or relating to you. You may wish to remove metadata from your files before transmitting such files to NestGSV Inc. and the Misk Foundation. Note that anything you post through Community Features is public – others will have access to your User Content and may use it or share it with third parties. If you choose to voluntarily disclose Personal Information, that information will be considered public information and the protections of this Privacy Policy will not apply. If you submit User Content, it may be published online or offline at any time. In addition, we may use your User Content and any excerpt from your User Content in connection with our advertising, marketing, publicity and promotional activities.
- Third parties or publicly available sources. We may receive Personal Information about you from various third parties (including your employer, broker, host, parent or guardian) or public sources. For example, if you are on another website and you opt-in to receive information from us, the other website may forward your contact and other information to us so that we may contact you as requested. If your company has provided you with access to the Service, we may receive information about you from your company. We also may supplement the information we collect with outside records from third parties in order to provide you with information, services or goods you have requested, to enhance our ability to serve you, and to tailor our content to you. We may combine the information we receive from those other sources with information we collect through the Service. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information.

Examples of Third Party Interactions may include technology that enables you to “like” or “share” content from the Sites on or to other websites or services; to transmit content to the Service from your account on a third party website or service; and to otherwise connect the Service to a third party website or service, such as through an application programming interface (API) made available by NestGSV Inc., the Misk Foundation or a third party.
...
The information we collect in connection with Third Party Interactions is subject to this Privacy Policy. The information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party’s privacy practices, including whether the third party continues to share information with us, the types of information shared, and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third party website or service.
V. THIRD PARTY ANALYTICS PROVIDERS & AD SERVERS; ONLINE TRACKING

For example, if you clicked on one of our advertisements that led you to one of the Sites, our service provider(s) may be able to tell us which advertisement you clicked on and where you were viewing the advertisement. These third parties may set and access their own tracking technologies (including cookies, embedded scripts, and web beacons) and may otherwise collect or have access to your Device Identifier, Usage Data and related information about you. Cookies and web beacons, including those set by third party network advertisers, may be used to, among other things, target advertisements, prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times, conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you, and assist in providing analytics. We may share Device Identifier and Usage Data about visitors with third party advertising companies, analytics providers and other vendors for similar purposes.
