The Policy applies when you use our “Services” (defined herein). This Policy only applies to Services and not to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our Services.

What This Policy Explains

The Policy explains how TacBoard obtains, retains, discloses, transfers, disseminates, analyzes, and otherwise uses (“collect(s)”) information from you (or from others about you), and how we use or share such information. By using the Services, you understand that we may process your data, including personal information, as disclosed and provided for in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

Our Services

TacBoard is an Internet-based website and SMS-based or MMS-based (text messaging) service that allows you (interchangeably, with and without others, either separately or collectively, “you” or “user”) and others to submit photos and messages to a private phone number for display on a centralized, privately hosted URL (a “Digital Canvas”) at a party or event, viewable by you and party or event guests, either in real time during the party or event, or at a later date (all of the foregoing, the “Services”).

When We Collect Information

We may collect information when you use the Services through our website, send photos or messages to a privately hosted number, or contact or communicate with us directly, by email, SMS, MMS, or otherwise. We may also collect information when third-parties provide us with information about you.

Your Consent

If you provide us with your telephone number, you agree that we can send SMS notifications to that number and understand and consent to data usage rates that may apply. By using the Services, you consent to us collecting your information as described this Policy and also in connection with the Services (as we provide them from time to time, which may differ from the Services we currently provide). In the ordinary course, we only collect the telephone number of the purchaser of a Digital Canvas. Any purchaser of a Digital Canvas will not be required, solely by reason of the purchase and use of the Digital Canvas to share his, her, or its phone number or contact information with anyone who posts images or text to the Digital Canvas.

The Services allow you (and others) to submit information, such as images and messages to your Digital Canvas, all of which are available to you and anyone with whom the Digital Canvas is shared, whether by you or someone else.
