By using our Service you understand and agree that we are providing a platform for you to post content, including photos, comments and other materials such as hashtags ("Content"), to the Service and to share Content publicly. This means that other Users may search for, see, use, or share any of your Content that you make publicly available through the Service, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use (which can be found under Terms & Conditions).
This Policy applies to all who access the Service ("Users").

Device identifiers:
When a mobile device is used to access our Service, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more "device identifiers." Device identifiers are small data files stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device.
