For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with. This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.

 When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand   that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).

 When you use an application, the application may ask for your permission to access your content and information as well as content and information that others have shared with you.  We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information.  (To learn more about Platform, including how you can control what information other people may share with applications, read our Data Policy and Platform Page).

This license authorizes us to make your   Content available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same.

 

Your commitments to 

It is very interesting how most of the top reasons are all linked to what we call “passive networking”– that means users who come to consume content rather than actively contributing to the stories.We provide these services to you and others to help advance our mission. In exchange, we need you to make the following commitments:

Who can use 

When people stand behind their opinions and actions, our community is safer and more accountable. For that reason, you must:
 

    Use the same name that you use in everyday life.
    Provide accurate information about yourself.

    Create only one account (your own) and use your timeline for personal purposes.
    Not share your password, give access to your  account to others or transfer your account to anyone else (without our     permission).

   You are under 10 years old (or the minimum legal age in your country to use our Products).

  You are a convicted sex offender.

  We previously disabled your account for violations of our terms or policies.

  You are prohibited from receiving our products, services or software under applicable laws.

What you can share

We want people to use to express themselves and to share content that is important to them, but not at the expense of the safety and well-being of others or the integrity of our community.

The permissions you give us

We need certain permissions from you to provide our services:
Permission to use content that you create and share:

   You own the content that you create and share on  and the other Products you use, and nothing in these Terms takes away the rights that you have to your own content.

You should know that, for technical reasons, any content that you delete may persist for a limited period of time in backup copies (though it will not be visible to other users).
