You can use the headers below to quickly find the relevant sections of our Privacy Policy.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy apply to your use of our Services.

  • Services.

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how Pongo, Inc. (“Pongo”) collects and processes personal information from users of its online websites at https://www.Pongoshare.com

(“Sites”), any applications, such as onb.io (“Apps”), and other online services we provide (collectively, the “Services”).

People use our Services to shop content from their favorite Influencers from either our Sites, Apps, screenshots, email, or other online products.

Our Services allow You to shop the looks you like from thousands of Influencers (individuals and entities with websites, blogs, social media presence, agents or agencies, digital publishers and other content platforms). You can simply screenshot a onb.io enabled look from your favorite Influencer from social media or mobile web. If you are a registered user, onb.io enabled images will be automatically displayed in your Likes in the App. As a registered user of the App, you can also find, follow, and shop influencer content directly in the App. Users can also shop influencer content directly via our Sites.

This Policy tells you, among other things, what information we gather from you when you visit our Sites or Apps, how we may use or disclose that information, how to review or edit it, and our efforts to protect it.

Please read this Policy carefully. By visiting, accessing or using any Services, you agree to this Policy. Among other things, you consent to the collection, tracking, and use of your personal information as outlined in this Policy, as such Policy may be amended from time to time.

  • Changes.

Changes to the Privacy Policy apply to your use of our Services after the effective date of the Policy.

Pongo may change this Policy or any other terms, at any time. Pongo will notify You of a change through our Services, such as when You next log-in, or by other means. The new terms may be displayed on-screen, and You may be required to read and accept them to continue Your use of the Apps or Sites. Pongo will also post the terms at https://onb.io, and the Policy is effective immediately upon posting. If You choose not to accept any new terms, You may close your account and/or discontinue using our Services. You acknowledge that continued use of our Services after we post or send notice of the changes means that your personal data is subject to the updated Privacy Policy.

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. However, if you turn off cookies, then you may not be able to utilize certain features of the Services. Turning off and/or deleting cookies does not affect other tracking technologies, such as device fingerprinting.

This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies and other technologies by these Services only.

Pongo or an affiliate network (each an “Affiliate Network Partner”) may drop cookies on your device and/or web browser or utilize other tracking technologies. For example, once you click on a particular link, you will be directed by Pongo or the Affiliate Network Partner to a merchant’s e-commerce site, at which point Pongo or the Affiliate Network Partner will drop a cookie on your browser. Among other reasons, these cookies are dropped so that our Services can monetize visits to Influencers and other actions.

Pongo may also utilize third party tracking technology, such as deep linking, to leverage cross-app and cross-site functionality.

Another tracking technology is a script that collects device information to permit what is known as device fingerprinting. (see, e.g., FTC Consumer Guide on Online Tracking – What is device fingerprinting?) For example, this data collection may permit generation of device fingerprints and cross-device profiles to better understand who visits particular Influencers, how often, unique visits, repeat visits, and more.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that Pongo is not liable for the content or use of personal information by third parties, including, without limitation, SNS, Influencers and Merchants, and including their use of cookies and other tracking technologies. You should consult the privacy policies and terms of service for those individual websites and services.

By agreeing to the terms of this Policy and by using our Services, you consent to the cookies and other tracking technologies referenced above. In order for you to be a registered and active user of the Services, you must agree to accept cookies and other tracking technologies. If you wish to opt-out of cookies and other tracking technologies altogether, then visit our Choice/Opt-Out Section

9. Choice / Opt Out.

You have choices about how your data is collected, the ability to delete certain data, and the ability to close your account.

To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before creating your account. The user who created the account is responsible for maintaining the secrecy of their unique password and account information at all times.

We use what we believe to be appropriate procedures to protect information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, information you elect to post on our Services, emails and other information you send to us are not encrypted and such transmissions cannot be considered a secure means of transmitting sensitive information.

You should be aware of the limitations of security, authentication, encryption, and privacy measures used in connection with the Internet and that any information you transmit through the Services may be damaged, corrupted, “sniffed” and/or accessed by another person without your permission. Regardless of the precautions taken by you or by us, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet. Third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the Services. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private. We cannot ensure or warrant the ultimate security of any information you transmit.
