How You Can View, Change, or Remove Information

 

a. Viewing and editing your profile. You may change or delete your profile information at any time by going to your profile page and clicking “Edit My Profile.” Information will be updated immediately. While you cannot delete your date of birth, you can use the setting on the info tab of your profile information page to hide all or part of it from other users.


b. Delete uploaded contacts. If you use our contact importer to upload addresses, you can later delete the list manually.

c.Deactivating or deleting your account. If you want to stop using your account you may deactivate it or delete it. When you deactivate an account, no user will be able to see it, but it will not be deleted. We save your profile information (friends, photos, interests, etc.) in case you later decide to reactivate your account. Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and in doing so are asking us to maintain their information until they return.  You will still have the ability to reactivate your account and restore your profile in its entirety. When you delete an account, it is permanently deleted. You should only delete your account if you are certain you never want to reactivate it. You may deactivate your account on your profile configuration.

d. Limitations on removal. Even after you remove information from your profile or delete your account, copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent it has been shared with others, it was otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy setting, or it was copied or stored by other users. However, your name will no longer be associated with that information on S4DS. (For example, if you post something to another user’s profile, and then you delete your account, that post may remain, but be attributed to an “Anonymous S4DS User.”) Additionally, we may retain certain information to prevent identity theft and other misconduct even if deletion has been requested.

e. Backup copies. Removed and deleted information may persist in backup copies for up to 90 days, but will not be available to others

f. Non-user contact information. If a user provides your email address to us, and you are not a S4DS user but you want us to delete your address, you can do this by contacting us. However, that request will only apply to addresses we have at the time of the request and not to any addresses that users provide to us later.
