PALTALK PICTURE REQUIREMENTS. Please follow the following guidelines when submitting a picture. Paltalk strives to provide the best possible user experience for all of its members, and this includes allowing users to express themselves in their own unique ways. Paltalk allows you to submit up to 10 pictures of yourself, including one primary picture and 9 secondary pictures. Non-paying members can only view primary pictures, and paying members can view all pictures. Paltalk will screen all primary pictures within 48 hours after submission, and you will be notified when it is approved or rejected. Primary pictures will not be displayed until Paltalk approves them. Pictures may not be blank or of poor quality, may not be copyrighted, may not contain the image of a celebrity, may not be harassing, may not contain excessive violence, may not be profane or use offensive language, may not be obscene or indecent and may not be greater than 100K in file size.

PRIMARY PICTURES. Primary pictures must additionally follow these guidelines:

Picture must be of the submitter, must only display the submitter, and must clearly display their face. Picture cannot contain text or contact information. Occasionally, with your permission, Paltalk will feature your pictures in various places throughout Paltalk, such as Paltalk Today, the Paltalk homepage, or other locations. If you wish to have your primary picture considered for display in these areas or others simply access the privacy section of your Paltalk People profile and modify the appropriate setting.

NO SOLICITATION; NO DENIGRATION. As a condition to your use of Paltalk, you agree that you will not either directly or indirectly (a) solicit, cause, or assist in soliciting or causing, any employee, officer, director, agent, administrator, palhelp, consultant or any other person that is employed by, consults for, volunteers for, represents or assists Paltalk (each a "Representative") to (i) terminate, suspend, discontinue or end such Representative's employment, consultancy and/or other relationship with Paltalk, or (ii) become employed by, or work or consult for any other entity or person, (b) make any negative, denigrating or defamatory statement(s) or comment(s) about Paltalk or any Representative, or otherwise engage in any conduct or action that might tarnish the image, reputation, ability or character of Paltalk or any Representative, or otherwise tarnish or dilute any of Paltalk's trade or service marks and/or its goodwill; or (c) solicit or cause any existing customer or client of Paltalk to cease using, and/or any potential customer or client of Paltalk not to use any Paltalk products and/or services and/or to use any software and/or other product(s) and/or services that are competitive with Paltalk's products and/or services; (d) aid, abet or authorize any person or entity to engage in any of the foregoing.

ROOM RATINGS. Group Chat Rooms are "rated" in order to enable users to determine what language and images are appropriate and may be expected. The ratings are guidelines that are enforced by the administrators of each chat room, and are not to be regarded as an assurance that the content will be safe or acceptable to you or anyone under eighteen (18) years of age. For example, in a "G-Rated Room," no foul language is permitted, nor are pictures involving adult themes (nudity or violence, for example). In an "R-Rated Room," some offensive language and content may occur; accordingly, you must be at least eighteen (18) years old to participate. In an "A-Rated Room," you should expect offensive language and content and you must be at least eighteen (18) years old to participate in such a room. Paltalk is not liable for any assumptions that you make when entering any given chat room or for any inappropriately rated chat rooms and you assume all risk in joining any chat room or permitting anyone under eighteen (18) years old to join any chat room.

HOSTING A CHAT ROOM. In accordance with the Terms of Service, you have the ability to create your own room on Paltalk. If you are the host of a room and another user is not behaving in a manner that is consistent with the Terms of Service as applicable to your room, you (and certain people authorized by you), have various options to address such behavior. By "RIGHT CLICKING" on the name of the person that is not behaving appropriately, you will see a menu of choices, including: (a) removing that person's ability to speak ("Remove Mic"), (b) removing that person from your room ("Bounce"), and (c) alerting Paltalk personnel ("Alert Admin of Misconduct"). In addition, you can add the user to your PalList, RIGHT CLICK on the user's name and click on "Block User," which will prevent the user from contacting you (except if you are in a group with that User). When creating your own room, more information will be available to you.

Uses of Information

Paltalk's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on Paltalk and through our partners. This includes personalization services, interactive communications, and many other types of services, most of which are completely free to you. In order to provide services free of charge, we display advertisements and encourage your participation. By knowing a little about you, Paltalk is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content, and hence better service, to you.

In our role of delivering targeted advertisements, Paltalk plays the middleman. Advertisers give us advertisements and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, males over 35 years old). Paltalk displays the advertisement to users meeting the specified criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual user information. This kind of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads as well as promotional email through Paltalk and its affiliates. You will only receive special offers via email from Paltalk if you have indicated in your account preferences, or at some other time, that you would like to receive them.

  • Clear Gifs

    We employ a software technology called clear gifs that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers' personally identifiable information.

    We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see "Choice and Opt-out."

  • Third Party Advertisers

    The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to users by a Paltalk proprietary ad serving system. We share Web site usage information about users with reputable third party ad networks for the purpose of targeting our banner advertisements on Paltalk software.

    We use third-party advertising companies and advertising networks to serve ads to you on our behalf when you visit our Web site. These companies may use information (not including personal information such as your name, address email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

  • Security

    The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information such as credit card numbers on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

    We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

    Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.
