  4. Information Collected from Facebook. If you log on to our Site with your login credentials from Facebook, we may receive Personal and/or Anonymous Data about you from Facebook, in accordance with Facebook’s terms of use and privacy policy. For example, Facebook may share your name, profile picture, gender, networks, user ID, list of friends, your email address, your birthday, your relationship status, and any other information you made public with us. If you invite your friends to join our Site using Facebook, Facebook will share your friends email addresses with us and we may use this information to send a Facebook message and/or email to follow up with your friends.

We may provide information about you to Facebook in accordance with your request (e.g., if you want to post something from our Site to your Facebook wall), for Facebook’s own use which will be subject to Facebook’s privacy policy. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for Facebook’s use of information we provide to it or for whether Facebook complies with its own privacy policy.
