- First name and last name.
- Profile Picture

We may also aggregate information collected offline in connection with the Service, obtain non-personally identifiable information from third party sources and develop aggregate information by anonymizing previously collected personally identifiable information.
It is possible at times when collecting non-personally identifiable information through automatic means that we may unintentionally collect or receive personally identifiable information that is mixed in with the non-personally identifiable information.

If you believe that we have inadvertently collected your personal information, please notify us at support[at]morioh.com.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We will only use your personally identifiable information as described below, unless you have specifically consented to another type of use, either at the time the personally identifiable information is collected from you or through some other form of consent from you or notification to you:

We may use your personally identifiable information to respond to your inquires or requests.
With your permission or where permitted by law, We may use your personally identifiable information to send you emails from time to time about our services, but we will not provide your personally identifiable information to third parties for them to contact you directly unless otherwise permitted by this Privacy Policy or you provide your consent.

We may share your personally identifiable information with third parties (collectively, the "Third Party Vendors") to further the purpose for which you provided such information to us.

No Rights of Third Parties
When a customer operates a link to a third-party website that has a relationship with us, we do not assume any obligation or responsibility for such policy because of the third party's privacy policy.

For example: YouTube videos, Vimeo videos, Twitter tweets, or Facebook... that appear within a Morioh post. These files send data to the hosted site just as if you were visiting that site directly (for example, when you load a Morioh post page with a YouTube video embedded in it, YouTube receives data about your activity).
Morioh does not control what data third parties collect in cases like this, or what they will do with it. Third-party embeds on Morioh are not covered by this privacy policy; they are covered by the privacy policy of the third-party service. Be mindful when interacting with these services.
