Activities you search for, Following, Lists, Profile, and Other Public Information: Palsup is primarily designed to help you discover and share information with the other people.

You may provide us with profile information such as a short biography, your location, your website, date of birth, or a picture. Additionally, your public information includes the activities you search for in the app; the metadata provided with those activities, such as when you searched for that activity and the client application you used to search; information about your account, such as creation time, language, country, and time zone; and the lists you create, people you follow, activities you Like or attend.

Service Providers: We engage service providers to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States, and other countries.

We may share your private personal information with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures, and on the condition that the third parties use your private personal data only on our behalf and pursuant to our instructions.
