Automass is primarily designed to help you share/publish information/content/announcements with the world. Most of the information you provide us is information you are asking us to make public. You may provide us with profile information such as your location, or picture(s).
Additionally, your public information includes the announcements; the metadata provided with announcements; information about your account, such as creation time, language, country, and time zone; and the lists with content that you create. Automass broadly and instantly disseminates your public information to a wide range of users, customers, and services, including search engines, developers, and publishers that integrate Automass content into their services, and organizations. When you share information or content like photos, videos, and links via the Services, you should think carefully about what you are making public. We may use this information to make inferences, like what topics you may be interested in. Our default is almost always to make the information you provide through the Services public for as long as you do not delete it, but we generally give you settings or features, to make the information more private if you want.
For certain profile information fields we provide you with visibility settings to select who can see this information in your profile. If you provide us with profile information and you don’t see a visibility setting, that information is public. You can change the language and time zone associated with your account at any time.
