COUCHSURFING PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: October 10, 2012
Note from CouchSurfing: Please refer to the footnotes to see what we changed effective October 10, 2012.
This Privacy Policy describes the information CouchSurfing International, Inc. ("CouchSurfing") collects about you, how we use and share that information and the privacy choices we offer. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use our websites, mobile applications and other online products and services (collectively, the "Services"), or when you otherwise interact with us.
We may change the provisions of this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you, including by revising the date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you use our Services to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.
1 We updated this section because, if you allow us to do so via your web browser’s settings, HTML 5 now allows us to access your location information directly from your web browser (e.g. the dialogue box that appears when you open the website, asking if we may use your location).
2 Google requires any website that uses their Maps feature to include a link to their own Privacy Policy.
3 We updated this section to give you more information about how to turn off location-based services.
