Below are some of the ways we use the information we collect to try to provide a safe, efficient, and customized experience.

To Manage the Service. We use the information we collect to provide our services and features to you, to measure and improve those services and features, and to provide you with customer support. We also use a variety of technological systems to detect and address anomalous activity and screen content to prevent abuse such as spam. These efforts may on occasion result in a temporary or permanent suspension or termination of some functions for some users. 

To Contact You. We may contact you with service-related announcements and updates from Gateway Publishing from time-to-time. 

4. When will Gateway Publishing share my information with others?

We share your information with third parties when we believe it is permitted by you, reasonably necessary to offer our services, or when we are legally required to do so. For example:

To Help Improve or Promote our Service. Sometimes we share aggregated information with third parties to help improve or promote our service. We only share this information in such a way that no individual user can be identified or linked to any specific action or information. 

To Provide You with Services. We may provide information to service providers that help us bring you the services we offer. We implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to helping us provide the service. 

To Respond to Legal Requests and Prevent Harm. We may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law. This may include respecting requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, apply to users from that jurisdiction, and are consistent with generally accepted international standards. We may also share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect ourselves and you from people violating our Terms  of Use. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, courts or other government entities. 

Transfer in the Event of Sale or Change of Control. If our organization’s ownership changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner so that the service can continue to operate. In such a case, your information would remain subject to the promises made in this Privacy Policy. 

5. How does Gateway Publishing protect my information?

Keeping Your Information Secure. We keep your account information on a secured server behind a firewall.

We also use automated and social measures to enhance security, such as analyzing account behavior for fraudulent or otherwise anomalous behavior. We may limit use of site features in response to possible signs of abuse, remove inappropriate content or links to illegal content, or suspend or disable accounts for violations of our Terms of Use.
