However, third parties such as providers of external services like web traffic analysis services, such as intercom or mixpanel may track users over time and over our Site and third-party websites and such third parties may also place cookies, via our Site.

When users accept a tutor for a particular question, the user and tutor will be able to communicate with each other with respect to that question on the Site. If an External Web Site (as defined below) directly collects personal information about you, your use of the External Web Sites is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies located on the linked to External Web Sites. We will also disclose your personal information (a) if we are required to do so by law, regulation or other government authority or otherwise in cooperation with an ongoing investigation of a governmental authority, (b) to enforce the Sodask Terms of Use or user agreements or to protect our rights or (c) to protect the safety of users of our Site and our products.

Users Outside of the United States

We also target users outside of the United States of America (U.S.). Our computer systems and third party hosting provider systems are currently based in the United States, so your personal data will be processed by us in the U.S. where data protection and privacy regulations do not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world, such as the European Union. In particular, you are advised that the U.S. uses a sectoral model of privacy protection that relies on a mix of legislation, governmental regulation, and self-regulation. Article 26 of the European Union’s Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC, 1995 O.J. (L 281) 31) allows for transfer of personal data from the European Union to a third country if the individual has unambiguously given his or her consent to the transfer of personal information, regardless of the third country’s level of protection. By using the Site, you consent and agree to this Privacy Policy and to the processing of that information in the U.S. as described in this Privacy Policy.
