Effective date: January 1st, 2015

Welcome to Miss Tiara ("Miss Tiara," "we", "us" or "our"). Miss Tiara provides a fast, beautiful and fun way for you to share media through our content-sharing platform.

Miss Tiara (“we, "us" or “our”) pledges to meet fully with the requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance Chapter 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong. In doing so, we ensure compliance by its staff to the strictest standards of security and confidentiality in respect of all personal information and data submitted by users via Misstiara.com.hk and its sub-domains (collectively, “Sites”) and we will not release such information to anyone without the prior consent of the relevant user(s) of the Sites (whether registered or not) (“User(s)”) except to the authorized persons listed under paragraph 1, 2, and 3 below”.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we and some of the companies we work with collect, use, share and protect information in relation to our mobile services, web site, and any software provided on or in connection with Miss Tiara services (collectively, the "Service"), and your choices about the collection and use of your information.
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 ("User Content"), to the Service and to share User Content publicly. This means that other Users may search for, see, use, or share any of your User Content that you make publicly available through the Service, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
Our Policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service ("Users"), and the provisions herein may be updated, revised, varied and/or amended from time to time as we deem necessary.

If Users have questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, they should contact us at info@misstiara.com.hk.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect the following types of information.

Information you provide us directly:

Your password and e-mail address when you register for a Miss Tiara account.
Profile information that you provide for your user profile (e.g., first and last name, picture, phone number). This information allows us to help you or others be "found" on Miss Tiara.
User Content (e.g., photos, comments, and other materials) that you post to the Service.
Communications between you and Miss Tiara. For example, we may send you Service-related emails (e.g., account verification, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). Note that you may not opt out of Service-related e-mails.

Finding your friends on Miss Tiara:

If you choose, you can use our "Search" feature to locate other people with Miss Tiara accounts through a search of email or usernames.
If you choose to find your friends through a search on Miss Tiara then simply type a name to search and we will perform a search on our Service.

Analytics information:

We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your device or our Service, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving the Service. We collect and use this analytics information with analytics information from other Users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual User.

Cookies and similar technologies:

When you visit the Service, we may use cookies and similar technologies like pixels, web beacons, and local storage to collect information about how you use Miss Tiara and provide features to you.
We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to your devices, which may use cookies or similar technologies placed by us or the third party.

Log file information:

Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you make a request to access (i.e., visit) a web page or app. It can also be provided when the content of the webpage or app is downloaded to your browser or device.
When you use our Service, our servers automatically record certain log file information, including your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information. We may also collect similar information from emails sent to our Users which then help us track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. The information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Service.

Device identifiers:

When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone 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 or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by Miss Tiara.
A device identifier may deliver information to us or to a third party partner about how you browse and use the Service and may help us or others provide reports or personalized content and ads. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

Metadata:

Metadata is usually technical data that is associated with User Content. For example, Metadata can describe how, when and by whom a piece of User Content was collected and how that content is formatted.
Users can add or may have Metadata added to their User Content including comments or other data. This makes your User Content more searchable by others and more interactive.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We strive to only collect personal data which are necessary and adequate but not excessive in relation to the purposes set out hereinabove.

Parties with whom we may share your information:

We may share User Content and your information (including but not limited to, information from cookies, log files, device identifiers, location data, and usage data) with businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies that Miss Tiara is part of, or that become part of that group ("Affiliates"). Affiliates may use this information to help provide, understand, and improve the Service (including by providing analytics) and Affiliates' own services (including by providing you with better and more relevant experiences).
We also may share your information as well as information from tools like cookies, log files, and device identifiers and location data, with third-party organizations that help us provide the Service to you ("Service Providers"). Our Service Providers will be given access to your information as is reasonably necessary to provide the Service under reasonable confidentiality terms.
We may remove parts of data that can identify you and share anonymized data with other parties. We may also combine your information with other information in a way that it is no longer associated with you and share that aggregated information.

What happens in the event of a change of control:

If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of Miss Tiara or our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), your information such as name and email address, User Content and any other information collected through the Service may be among the items sold or transferred. You will continue to own your User Content. The buyer or transferee will have to honor the commitments we have made in this Privacy Policy.

Responding to legal requests and preventing harm:

We may access, preserve and share your information in response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. We may also access, preserve and share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; to protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of investigations; and to prevent death or imminent bodily harm.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information and data submitted by Users to the Sites, both during transmission and once we receive it.
