Your privacy in the social networking application
Nokia’s privacy policy explains how we process your personal data when you use our products and services. In addition the following applies in case you decide to start to use the social networking features of your device’s phonebook. This allows you to interact with your friends in a number of Social Networking Services (SNS).
What information is stored on your device?
This feature allows you to link your contacts in your SNS with your contacts on your device. Your contacts in various SNS will then be visible on your device in a view that displays among other things their profile picture, status updates, contact information and latest activities. You may also send updates and otherwise interact with your social networks by using this application.
The combination of your contacts and their activities takes place on your device. The combined aggregated view is only available on your device. Nokia does not store the linked information, your SNS profile, friend lists, your friends’ contact information or such SNS profile related information unless otherwise described below or you have agreed to such processing in connection with a different service. You control the information you store on your device.
What information is processed by the SNS?
The user profiles, friend lists, status updates, contact information or other such personal information in the SNS is controlled by you, the SNS or other third parties. Your visibility to friends and internet users is managed by your community's privacy settings. Each SNS has its own privacy policy and service terms which govern your use and the sharing of information on that service. You should familiarise yourself with the SNS’s terms of use, privacy policy and available privacy settings. Nokia is not responsible for the privacy, information security or any other practices of such service providers. Nokia does not guarantee the availability of any SNS.
What information is processed by Nokia?
The use of this feature requires a Nokia account. Nokia is the data controller of personal data collected for Nokia account related purposes which are described in Nokia’s privacy policy.
When you use this application, certain technical information such as the type and serial number of your mobile device, internet protocol address, your mobile network and country codes, time zone, technical details of your client as well as your transactions with Nokia will be automatically collected by Nokia. As further explained in Nokia’s privacy policy this information is used to provide you with the services, to develop and improve the services as well as to personalise our offering and to make recommendations.
Although the content of your interactions with your SNS, for example status updates, is sent through Nokia’s servers, Nokia does not process such information for any purpose other than to facilitate the effective exchange of such content.
Nokia does not store your user names and passwords that you use for your SNS. Instead, a unique authentication token is used to authenticate you as the right SNS user.
A unique identifier is assigned to your contacts. The identifier is stored in Nokia’s servers. No other information of your contacts is stored by Nokia. The identifier is associated with your Nokia account to connect you with the right contacts. The identifier is deleted when your contact either terminates their SNS account or their friendship with you in the SNS.
Other important information
To protect your data, log out from this feature or apply the lock code on your device to prevent other persons from accessing your SNS.
Using SNS requires network connection. For data transmission charges contact your service provider. Find out more information about the feature from user guide.
