1. When you register with IMAGELANKA, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your first name, your last name, your email address, preferred user name, your birth date, your country and any other personal information that you provide us. Unless stated otherwise, all registration questions are compulsory. We also ask some further, voluntary questions so we can gain a clearer understanding of our users. Your responses enable us to personalize services for our users. We do not share this information with third parties.

We also collect data listings, of which of our pages are most frequently visited and by which types of users.

2. We gather different types of information about our users for three main reasons:

2.1 To help us to monitor and improve the services we offer.

2.2 To provide personalized services, unique to individual users.

2.3. To use anonymous details about our users to sell appropriate advertising space on the site. This may mean showing an advertiser how many users we have on the site; it does not mean sharing an individual's details with an advertiser. When we collect registration information from an individual, we will never share that individual's information with a third party, including an advertiser, without that user's explicit permission.

3. When you register at IMAGELANKA, you will be able to set up your personal profile, upload images, download images, comment on images uploaded, upload videos, view videos and comment on videos, submit web sites, rate and/or comment on web sites added, submit articles, rate and/or comment on articles added, submit classified advertisements, comment on the advertisements, form relationships, send messages, perform searches and transmit information through various channels (i.e. forums, emails). We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see your friends list. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.

4. You post User Content (as defined in the IMAGELANKA Terms of Use) on the site at your own risk. When you upload images, videos, classified advertisements, articles and/or website links related to Sri Lanka, it will become public; meaning anyone who accesses IMAGELANKA will be able to view/download it. We cannot control the actions of other Users who you may choose to view user content and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that user content you post on the site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy or security measures contained on the site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of user content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored your user content.

5. When you use IMAGELANKA, certain information you post or share with third parties (e.g. a friend or someone in your group), such as personal information, comments, messages, photos, videos, articles, web sites or other information, may be shared with other users. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk (please refer point 4, above). Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments, messages, photos, videos, websites, articles or other items, this information will become publicly available.
