Information you have provided to the SNS (such as your name, email address,
gender and other information you make publicly available via the SNS) to create

depend on the privacy settings you have set with the SNS and the permissions
you grant to us in connection with linking your account with the Service to

otherwise share information from or via our Services with a third-party site or

limitations imposed by such SNS. Please note that your relationship with any
