<b>Additional Information:</b>
You may provide us with additional information to make public, such as your location, descriptive text, photos and other media.
We may use your contact information to market to you. To unsubscribe from such marketing, follow instructions included in

<b>Following, Friends and Other Metadata:</b>
When you use Balloon to share and maintain lists of people, media or other data,
those lists are often made available to the general public. Please remember that
this generally makes these settings available to most of the world wide web:

the things you say on Balloon, along with many of your preferences, are visible by
others.
</p>

<p>
<b>Location Information:</b>
You may encounter parts of Balloon that ask you to enter your location, or the location

<p>
<b>Third Party Services:</b>
Balloon uses services hosted by third parties to help us maintain and understand our
own services. For example, we may use Google Analytics to track statistics about our

<b>Law and Harm:</b>

necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety
of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues;
