With certain exceptions, you choose how much detail you want to include in your profile; the more information you share, however, the better chance you have of finding the right service. We may also share on your profile any company reviews you have posted on our Site and whether you have connected to Fingerprint Cosmetics through Facebook.

If you post information in a Fingerprint Cosmetics online group forum, that information may be viewed by any Site Visitor or Registered User who accesses the forum.

We may display personal testimonials of Registered Users and other endorsements on our Site or in other marketing materials. These testimonials or endorsements may include Non Personal Information such as the Registered User’s first name, first initial of last name, town and province. With a Registered User’s consent, we may include Personal Information such as their full name.

Information that we share with Registered Users and corporate providers:
In addition to the information that is provided to all visitors to Fingerprint Cosmetics, Tutor reviews and references are made available to certain Registered Users. If you are a Tutor, your phone number may be visible to certain Registered Users if you elect to share it in your profile. In addition, your approximate residential location (through Google map plotting) is made available to certain Registered Users unless you elect to keep that information confidential.

If you are a Tutor, you will appear in search result listings if you match the search criteria used by a Student/pupil, as applicable. Similarly, you may appear in emails sent to Tutors or Student/pupils/pupils in your area. In addition, if you are a Student/pupil and you view the profile of certain Tutors, those Tutors will be able to see that you have viewed their profiles unless you opt-out of that information sharing.

If you register for our Fingerprint Cosmetics mobile application, other Registered Users of that application may be able to search for Tutors by name, email address or other information. If they do, a Tutor’s name and profile photo will appear in the search results list and the searcher may contact you through the application. No other Personal Information on the application will be shared with the Registered User unless you expressly consent to such sharing. However, all information you post to the Fingerprint Cosmetics application will be available to all members of Fingerprint Cosmetics, including your location when you post to the application if you have given us permission to access and collect your location information.

Information we share with vendors/service providers

We also share Personal Information with vendors who perform services on behalf of Fingerprint Cosmetics, including without limitation vendors who provide email services, demographic information, or geo-location information, vendors who perform background checks or verification checks, vendors who process credit card payments, vendors who run classified advertising businesses, and vendors who send SMS messages to Registered Users’ mobile phone numbers, in each case to the extent applicable. Fingerprint Cosmetics has selected vendors who maintain high standards with respect to privacy and agree to use the Personal Information only to perform specific services on behalf of Fingerprint Cosmetics.

Information we share with listings in Google and other public search engines

In an effort to further connect Student/pupils/pupils and Tutors, selected information contained in Tutor profiles, which may include photo, first name, first initial of last name, city, province, and job/provider description, may also be shared with third party search engines and other vendors who run classified advertising businesses, and thus may be listed in third party web site search results (e.g., Google), which would make that information available to the public and allow them to link to your Fingerprint Cosmetics posting. Registered Users can opt-out of this sharing by adjusting their account settings. If you post information in a Fingerprint Cosmetics online group forum, your content, including your name as the contributor, may be displayed in third party search engine results and available to the public.

As required by law or for reasons of safety

You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose information we’ve collected about you if required to do so by law or if we, in our sole discretion, believe that disclosure is reasonable to comply with the law, requests or orders from law enforcement, or any legal process (whether or not such disclosure is required by applicable law), or to protect or defend Fingerprint Cosmetics’s, or a third party’s, rights or property. We may also reserve the right to disclose information we’ve collected about you for purposes of protecting the health and safety of our community and Registered Users, such as in the case of risk of harm or violence against any person (including you).
