text: European Privacy Policy Last Modified : 2019-09-25 The original version of this Privacy Policy is written in English .
To the extent any translated version of this Privacy Policy conflicts with the English version , the English version controls .
Tumblr , Inc. -LRB- `` Tumblr , '' `` we , '' '' us , '' or `` our '' -RRB- takes the private nature of your information very seriously .
We strive to be transparent about how we collect and process your information , keep your information secure and provide you with meaningful choices .
This policy regarding our privacy practices -LRB- the `` Privacy Policy '' -RRB- describes how we treat the information we collect or receive when you visit and use tumblr.com -LRB- the `` Site '' -RRB- and/or Tumblr 's other domains , products , advertising products , services , and/or content , including our iOS and Android mobile applications -LRB- collectively with the Site , the `` Services '' -RRB- .
Tumblr is now part of Automattic , a technology company that empowers people to build beautiful websites , tell their stories , and find and grow their audience .
The way we handle your information has n't changed , so this Privacy Policy still governs when you are on Tumblr , using a Tumblr app or interacting with our products , services or technologies .
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of other Automattic affiliates or companies which Automattic does not own or control .
What This Privacy Policy Covers This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of information gathered when you are using or accessing the Services .
This Privacy Policy also covers our treatment of any information about you that our partners share with us or that we share with our partners .
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own , control , or manage , including but not limited to any third party websites , services , applications , or businesses -LRB- `` Third Party Services '' -RRB- .
While we try to work only with those Third Party Services that share our respect for your privacy , we do n't take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third Party Services .
We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of all Third Party Services you access .
Also : this Privacy Policy does n't govern what our users do on their Tumblr blogs and we are n't responsible for the information collection and use practices of our individual blogs and bloggers .
One of the great features of Tumblr 's products is customizability , and bloggers have a lot of flexibility in how their blogs behave .
When you visit a blog in our network , that blog may collect more information than we do , and may provide information to third parties that we have no relationship with , including to advertisers .
What We Collect and How We Use It In the course of providing the Services , we collect and receive various types of information .
Certain categories of information collected by Tumblr are necessary to use our Services .
In order to deliver , personalize , and improve our Services , we combine and use the information we have about you -LRB- including information we receive on and off our Services -RRB- to understand how you use and interact with our Services and the people or things you 're connected to and interested in .
We describe these types of information and their uses in more detail below .
We mainly rely on three separate bases to lawfully collect and use your information .
First , we need to process your information in certain ways to provide our Services to you , in accordance with our Terms of Service .
This processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and us and our Terms of Service make it clear that processing of your information for the purposes of personalized content and ads is a necessary part of the Services which we provide .
Second , where you have given us consent to use your information in certain ways , we will rely on your consent -LRB- which you may revoke at any time -RRB- .
Third , as described in more detail below , in certain cases we may process your information where necessary to further legitimate interests , whether ours or those of visitors , users or partners , where those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests .
Occasionally , Tumblr may rely on other legal bases to process your information , such as to protect your vital interests or those of others -LRB- such as where there is a risk of imminent harm -RRB- , where necessary in the public interest , or to comply with a legal obligation , a court order , or to exercise and defend legal claims .
Account Information : When you create an account on the Services -LRB- an '' Account '' -RRB- , we 'll ask you for information such as your username , password , age , and email address -LRB- `` Account Information '' -RRB- in order to provide you with the Services .
We may also use Account Information , alone or together with other information , to enhance and improve the Services , such as by personalization .
We use your age to verify that you can lawfully use the Services .
We use your email address to verify your Account and to communicate with you , as described in more detail below .
We also allow users to look for their friends by email address ; you can , however , opt out of email lookup through your Account Settings .
You can keep yourself fairly anonymous on Tumblr , but remember that your posts , blogs , pages , and username are all visible to the public by default .
People that know your email address can also find your blogs .
If you 'd rather be unlisted , head over to your Account Settings .
Email Communications with Us : As part of the Services , you may occasionally receive email and other communications from us .
Administrative communications relating to your Account -LRB- e.g. , for purposes of Account recovery or password reset -RRB- are considered part of the Services and your Account , which you may not be able to opt-out from receiving .
We also may send you other kinds of emails , which you can opt-out of either from your Account Settings page or by using the `` Opt-Out '' link in the emails themselves .
Note that we will never email you to ask for your password or other Account Information ; if you receive such an email , please forward it to us .
We send two kinds of email : ones about fun stuff happening on Tumblr , and ones with important information about your account .
You can opt out of the former , but not the latter .
Information about Your Accounts on Third Party Services : You can link your Account to certain Third Party Services .
In order to do so , you can choose to provide us with your username or other user ID for a Third Party Service , and you may then be required to log into that Service .
After you complete this login process , we will receive a token that allows us to access your account on that service so that we can , for example , post your content to that service when you ask us to .
We do not receive or store your passwords for your Third Party Service accounts .
Information Obtained from Third Party Services : In some cases , we partner with Third Party Services that may provide information about you .
Such information could include , for example , your gender , if you have disclosed that information to that third party and made it available for Tumblr to access or receive it .
To the extent we obtain such information , we may use it to develop new Services or to improve or enhance the Services .
When you connect other services to your Tumblr account , those services might share information about you with us .
What gets shown to us is determined by their privacy policies , which are long and boring , but which you should probably read if you have questions or concerns .
User Content : By default , all sharing through the Services is public .
When you provide us with content , it is published so that anyone can view it .
We do provide tools , like password-protected blogs , Asks , and Fan Mail , that let you publish content privately .
Unless you have selected otherwise , you should assume that anything you publish is publicly accessible .
Also , please keep in mind that anything you share privately with another user , particularly through an Ask , Fan Mail , or submitted post , may be subsequently posted publicly by that user .
Content published and shared publicly is accessible to everyone , including search engines , and this may affect the control you have regarding that content .
In addition , information shared publicly may be copied and shared throughout the Internet , including through actions or features native to the Services , such as reblogging .
At its heart , Tumblr is a public platform .
Do n't be afraid to share amazing things , but do understand that it can be hard to completely remove things from the internet once they 've been reblogged a few times .
Native Actions : The Services allow you to perform actions that are integral to our products , such as liking a post , reblogging a post , replying to a post , and following a blog .
Liking , reblogging , and replying are public actions -- anyone can expand the `` notes '' view on a post , for example , to see who liked , reblogged , or replied to a post .
We use information about native actions to improve the Services , develop new Services , and , particularly , to personalize your Tumblr experience .
Personalization using this information may include presenting you with new posts relevant to what you 've liked , providing you with better search results , and showing you advertising more relevant to your interests .
Reblogs , Likes , and Replies are a matter of public record , so if you 're truly ashamed of your desires it 's best to keep them to yourself .
But why ?
Be proud of who you are .
You 're beautiful .
We 're looking you in the eyes and telling you how beautiful you are .
Information About User Content : In some cases , we may collect information about content you provide to the Services .
For example , when it 's included as part of your images , we may collect information describing your camera , camera settings , or EXIF information .
This information allows us to improve the Services and provide additional features and functionality .
Financial Information : We will sometimes collect financial information , such as information related to your payment method -LRB- valid credit card number , type , expiration date or other financial information -RRB- .
We ask for this information when you decide to purchase a paid Service .
We do not , however , store that financial information ; such information is stored by our payment processor -LRB- the `` Payment Processor '' -RRB- , and use and storage of that information is governed by the Payment Processor 's applicable terms of service and privacy policy -LRB- the Payment Processor may also have other terms , and you are responsible for locating and familiarizing yourself with those terms , as applicable -RRB- .
We do receive certain information from our Payment Processor : -LRB- 1 -RRB- a unique token that we connect with your Account to enable you to make further purchases using the information stored by our Payment Processor and -LRB- 2 -RRB- in certain cases , the last four digits of the credit card number associated with that token , so that we can prevent fraudulent transactions and identity theft .
Information Related to Use of the Services : We collect information about how people use the Services , including those with an Account .
This type of information may be collected in our log files each time you interact with -LRB- i.e. , make a request to -RRB- the Services .
We use internal tools and third party applications and services -LRB- like Google Analytics or comScore -RRB- to collect and analyze this information .
Some of this information may also be associated with the Internet Protocol Address -LRB- `` IP Address '' -RRB- used to access the Services ; some may be connected with your Account ; and some may only be collected and used in aggregate form -LRB- as a statistical measure that would n't identify you or your Account -RRB- .
We also collect your IP Address when you make a post , particularly when you submit an anonymous `` Ask . ''
We may use this information about how you and others interact with the Services for a number of things generally related to enhancing , improving , protecting , and developing new Services , including but not limited to : providing users with personalized content ; providing users with targeted advertising ; improving our search results ; identifying trending or popular content ; fighting spam , malware , identity theft and generally keeping our users and community safe ; and for legal and safety reasons as set forth in `` Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others . ''
We use information about how you interact with Tumblr in order to personalize it for you , to keep both you and our community safe from harm , and to improve Tumblr for everyone who uses it .
Information Related to Your Web Browser : We automatically receive and record information from your web browser when you interact with the Services , such as your browser type and version , what sort of device you are using , your operating system and version , your language preference , the website or service that referred you to the Services , the date and time of each request you make to the Services , your screen display information , and information from any cookies we have placed on your web browser -LRB- as described below -RRB- .
We also sometimes detect whether you are using certain web browser extensions and store that information in a manner associated with your Account .
We use web browser-related information to provide , secure , enhance and improve the Services .
Location Information : In some cases we collect and store information about where you are located , such as by converting your IP Address into a rough geolocation .
We may also ask you to provide information about your location , for example permission to use your geolocation information from your mobile device to geotag a post .
We may use location information to improve and personalize the Services for you , for example by showing you relevant local content .
Information Related to Your Mobile Device : We may collect and store information related to your mobile device .
In some cases , we may receive , generate , or assign your mobile device a unique identifier for the purposes described above in `` Information Related to Use of the Services . ''
We may also ask you to provide your phone number to enable new products and improve the Services , such as by enabling multi-factor authentication for Account login .
We will always ask you whether it 's OK for us to collect and store your phone number .
Information Collected Using Cookies and Web Tags : Cookies are text files that may be sent to and saved in your web browser when you access a website ; your web browser stores these cookies in a way associated with each website you visit , and you can generally see your cookies through your browser settings , depending on what browser you 're using .
A web tag is code or a pixel embedded in a web page , or email , that allows Tumblr or a third party to see that you have looked at that page .
We use cookies and web tags to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you use the Services , as described above in `` Information Related to Use of the Services . ''
Our cookies do not , by themselves , contain information that directly identifies you , and we do n't combine the general information collected through cookies with other such information to tell us who you are .
However , we do use cookies to identify that you have logged in , and that your web browser has accessed the Services , and we may associate that information with your Account if you have one .
We may also store unique or near-unique identifiers that we associate with your Account in our cookies .
This information , in turn , is sometimes used as described above in `` Information Related to Use of the Services . ''
Most web browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature , which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies , as well as -LRB- depending on the sophistication of your web browser -RRB- allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways .
If you disable cookies , you wo n't be able to log into your Account , and so wo n't be able to use the vast majority of our Services ; as such , we do n't recommend disabling your cookies when using the Services .
Some services that we use -LRB- including Third Party Services -RRB- , such as Google Analytics , use web tags and may also place their own cookies on your browser , and individual blogs on our network may contain code that places their own cookies .
For more information about Google Analytics , click here .
We also run limited-time studies using web tags , sometimes with third parties , to , for example , measure the effectiveness of our advertising or email .
Note that , unless otherwise disclosed , this Privacy Policy covers our use of cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by third parties .
Being able to log into your account is one of Tumblr 's many great features .
Cookies make this possible .
Cookies and web tags also let us learn how people use Tumblr , which in turn helps us make a better product for you to use .
Information About Your Contacts : Certain features of the Services allow you to provide us with your contact lists , so that we can connect you with people in our Services that are also on those contact lists .
For example , you can temporarily connect your email contact information to your Account , so that we can provide you with a list of your email contacts that use the Services .
As another example , you can send us your mobile phone contact information through our mobile applications , which then allows us to provide you with a list of those contacts that use the Services so that you can `` follow '' their blogs .
We will give you a choice as to whether or not you provide us such information , and we will disclose fully , within the appropriate feature , how we use that information .
We wo n't look at -LRB- or be able to look at -RRB- your contact list unless you ask us to .
Why would you ask us to ?
Because that 's how you would find out if any of your contacts are on Tumblr .
We discard this information immediately afterward .
Derived Information : As described above in `` Native Actions '' and `` Information Related to Use of the Services , '' we analyze your actions on the Services in order to derive or infer characteristics that may be descriptive of your Account -LRB- for example , what kinds of blogs you follow or what kinds of posts you view , like , or reblog -RRB- .
We use this information for the purposes described in `` Information Related to Use of the Services , '' above .

Agents with whom we share such information for these reasons are generally bound by confidentiality obligations and , unless we tell you differently , our Agents do not have any right to use information we share with them beyond the scope and duration of what is necessary to assist us .
Information Disclosed Pursuant to Business Transfers : In some cases , we may choose to buy or sell business assets .
In these transactions , user information is typically one of the transferred business assets .
Moreover , if we , or substantially all of our assets , were acquired , or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy , user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party .
Such transfers may occur and may be in the legitimate interests of the parties involved .

We do n't want to .
But we do need to protect everyone who uses Tumblr from harming us , each other , or themselves .
We work hard to balance privacy and community , and we 're sure you can appreciate the challenges in that , and the seriousness with which we take those challenges .

This may include the sharing of your information for such purposes and we do so as it is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests and your legitimate interests in receiving personalized content and services .

What constitutes `` proof of authority '' will vary depending on the circumstances , but generally will require sufficient identifying information so that we can be confident you are the Account owner . .

You 'll do great things on Tumblr , surely , but if it ever comes time to say goodbye , then you 're free to delete your account at any time and for any reason .
The deletion will be effective immediately , for the most part , but it might take a little while to scrub everything from our archives and backups .
What wo n't get scrubbed are Reblogs of your posts .
Those will remain on whatever blog reblogged them .
Like we said before , it can be really , really hard to delete something once it goes out onto the internet , so be sure you 're only publishing stuff that you 're certain you want to publish .

The way we handle your information has n't changed , so this Privacy Policy still governs when you are on Tumblr , using a Tumblr app or interacting with our products , services or technologies .
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of other Automattic affiliates or companies which Automattic does not own or control .
What This Privacy Policy Covers This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of information gathered when you are using or accessing the Services .
This Privacy Policy also covers our treatment of any information about you that our partners share with us or that we share with our partners .
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own , control , or manage , including but not limited to any third party websites , services , applications , or businesses -LRB- `` Third Party Services '' -RRB- .
While we try to work only with those Third Party Services that share our respect for your privacy , we do n't take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third Party Services .
We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of all Third Party Services you access .
Also : this Privacy Policy does n't govern what our users do on their Tumblr blogs and we are n't responsible for the information collection and use practices of our individual blogs and bloggers .
One of the great features of Tumblr 's products is customizability , and bloggers have a lot of flexibility in how their blogs behave .
When you visit a blog in our network , that blog may collect more information than we do , and may provide information to third parties that we have no relationship with , including to advertisers .
What We Collect and How We Use It In the course of providing the Services , we collect and receive various types of information .
Certain categories of information collected by Tumblr are necessary to use our Services .
In order to deliver , personalize , and improve our Services , we combine and use the information we have about you -LRB- including information we receive on and off our Services -RRB- to understand how you use and interact with our Services and the people or things you 're connected to and interested in .
We describe these types of information and their uses in more detail below .
We mainly rely on three separate bases to lawfully collect and use your information .
First , we need to process your information in certain ways to provide our Services to you , in accordance with our Terms of Service .
This processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and us and our Terms of Service make it clear that processing of your information for the purposes of personalized content and ads is a necessary part of the Services which we provide .
Second , where you have given us consent to use your information in certain ways , we will rely on your consent -LRB- which you may revoke at any time -RRB- .
Third , as described in more detail below , in certain cases we may process your information where necessary to further legitimate interests , whether ours or those of visitors , users or partners , where those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests .
Occasionally , Tumblr may rely on other legal bases to process your information , such as to protect your vital interests or those of others -LRB- such as where there is a risk of imminent harm -RRB- , where necessary in the public interest , or to comply with a legal obligation , a court order , or to exercise and defend legal claims .
Account Information : When you create an account on the Services -LRB- an '' Account '' -RRB- , we 'll ask you for information such as your username , password , age , and email address -LRB- `` Account Information '' -RRB- in order to provide you with the Services .
We may also use Account Information , alone or together with other information , to enhance and improve the Services , such as by personalization .
We use your age to verify that you can lawfully use the Services .
We use your email address to verify your Account and to communicate with you , as described in more detail below .
We also allow users to look for their friends by email address ; you can , however , opt out of email lookup through your Account Settings .
You can keep yourself fairly anonymous on Tumblr , but remember that your posts , blogs , pages , and username are all visible to the public by default .
People that know your email address can also find your blogs .
If you 'd rather be unlisted , head over to your Account Settings .
Email Communications with Us : As part of the Services , you may occasionally receive email and other communications from us .
Administrative communications relating to your Account -LRB- e.g. , for purposes of Account recovery or password reset -RRB- are considered part of the Services and your Account , which you may not be able to opt-out from receiving .
We also may send you other kinds of emails , which you can opt-out of either from your Account Settings page or by using the `` Opt-Out '' link in the emails themselves .
Note that we will never email you to ask for your password or other Account Information ; if you receive such an email , please forward it to us .
We send two kinds of email : ones about fun stuff happening on Tumblr , and ones with important information about your account .
You can opt out of the former , but not the latter .
Information about Your Accounts on Third Party Services : You can link your Account to certain Third Party Services .
In order to do so , you can choose to provide us with your username or other user ID for a Third Party Service , and you may then be required to log into that Service .
After you complete this login process , we will receive a token that allows us to access your account on that service so that we can , for example , post your content to that service when you ask us to .
We do not receive or store your passwords for your Third Party Service accounts .
Information Obtained from Third Party Services : In some cases , we partner with Third Party Services that may provide information about you .
Such information could include , for example , your gender , if you have disclosed that information to that third party and made it available for Tumblr to access or receive it .
To the extent we obtain such information , we may use it to develop new Services or to improve or enhance the Services .
When you connect other services to your Tumblr account , those services might share information about you with us .
What gets shown to us is determined by their privacy policies , which are long and boring , but which you should probably read if you have questions or concerns .
User Content : By default , all sharing through the Services is public .
When you provide us with content , it is published so that anyone can view it .
We do provide tools , like password-protected blogs , Asks , and Fan Mail , that let you publish content privately .
Unless you have selected otherwise , you should assume that anything you publish is publicly accessible .
Also , please keep in mind that anything you share privately with another user , particularly through an Ask , Fan Mail , or submitted post , may be subsequently posted publicly by that user .
Content published and shared publicly is accessible to everyone , including search engines , and this may affect the control you have regarding that content .
In addition , information shared publicly may be copied and shared throughout the Internet , including through actions or features native to the Services , such as reblogging .
At its heart , Tumblr is a public platform .
Do n't be afraid to share amazing things , but do understand that it can be hard to completely remove things from the internet once they 've been reblogged a few times .
Native Actions : The Services allow you to perform actions that are integral to our products , such as liking a post , reblogging a post , replying to a post , and following a blog .
Liking , reblogging , and replying are public actions -- anyone can expand the `` notes '' view on a post , for example , to see who liked , reblogged , or replied to a post .
We use information about native actions to improve the Services , develop new Services , and , particularly , to personalize your Tumblr experience .
Personalization using this information may include presenting you with new posts relevant to what you 've liked , providing you with better search results , and showing you advertising more relevant to your interests .
Reblogs , Likes , and Replies are a matter of public record , so if you 're truly ashamed of your desires it 's best to keep them to yourself .
But why ?
Be proud of who you are .
You 're beautiful .
We 're looking you in the eyes and telling you how beautiful you are .
Information About User Content : In some cases , we may collect information about content you provide to the Services .
For example , when it 's included as part of your images , we may collect information describing your camera , camera settings , or EXIF information .
This information allows us to improve the Services and provide additional features and functionality .
Financial Information : We will sometimes collect financial information , such as information related to your payment method -LRB- valid credit card number , type , expiration date or other financial information -RRB- .
We ask for this information when you decide to purchase a paid Service .
We do not , however , store that financial information ; such information is stored by our payment processor -LRB- the `` Payment Processor '' -RRB- , and use and storage of that information is governed by the Payment Processor 's applicable terms of service and privacy policy -LRB- the Payment Processor may also have other terms , and you are responsible for locating and familiarizing yourself with those terms , as applicable -RRB- .
We do receive certain information from our Payment Processor : -LRB- 1 -RRB- a unique token that we connect with your Account to enable you to make further purchases using the information stored by our Payment Processor and -LRB- 2 -RRB- in certain cases , the last four digits of the credit card number associated with that token , so that we can prevent fraudulent transactions and identity theft .
Information Related to Use of the Services : We collect information about how people use the Services , including those with an Account .
This type of information may be collected in our log files each time you interact with -LRB- i.e. , make a request to -RRB- the Services .
We use internal tools and third party applications and services -LRB- like Google Analytics or comScore -RRB- to collect and analyze this information .
Some of this information may also be associated with the Internet Protocol Address -LRB- `` IP Address '' -RRB- used to access the Services ; some may be connected with your Account ; and some may only be collected and used in aggregate form -LRB- as a statistical measure that would n't identify you or your Account -RRB- .
We also collect your IP Address when you make a post , particularly when you submit an anonymous `` Ask . ''
We may use this information about how you and others interact with the Services for a number of things generally related to enhancing , improving , protecting , and developing new Services , including but not limited to : providing users with personalized content ; providing users with targeted advertising ; improving our search results ; identifying trending or popular content ; fighting spam , malware , identity theft and generally keeping our users and community safe ; and for legal and safety reasons as set forth in `` Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others . ''
We use information about how you interact with Tumblr in order to personalize it for you , to keep both you and our community safe from harm , and to improve Tumblr for everyone who uses it .
Information Related to Your Web Browser : We automatically receive and record information from your web browser when you interact with the Services , such as your browser type and version , what sort of device you are using , your operating system and version , your language preference , the website or service that referred you to the Services , the date and time of each request you make to the Services , your screen display information , and information from any cookies we have placed on your web browser -LRB- as described below -RRB- .
We also sometimes detect whether you are using certain web browser extensions and store that information in a manner associated with your Account .
We use web browser-related information to provide , secure , enhance and improve the Services .
Location Information : In some cases we collect and store information about where you are located , such as by converting your IP Address into a rough geolocation .

We may use location information to improve and personalize the Services for you , for example by showing you relevant local content .
Information Related to Your Mobile Device : We may collect and store information related to your mobile device .
In some cases , we may receive , generate , or assign your mobile device a unique identifier for the purposes described above in `` Information Related to Use of the Services . ''
We may also ask you to provide your phone number to enable new products and improve the Services , such as by enabling multi-factor authentication for Account login .
We will always ask you whether it 's OK for us to collect and store your phone number .
Information Collected Using Cookies and Web Tags : Cookies are text files that may be sent to and saved in your web browser when you access a website ; your web browser stores these cookies in a way associated with each website you visit , and you can generally see your cookies through your browser settings , depending on what browser you 're using .
A web tag is code or a pixel embedded in a web page , or email , that allows Tumblr or a third party to see that you have looked at that page .
We use cookies and web tags to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you use the Services , as described above in `` Information Related to Use of the Services . ''
Our cookies do not , by themselves , contain information that directly identifies you , and we do n't combine the general information collected through cookies with other such information to tell us who you are .
However , we do use cookies to identify that you have logged in , and that your web browser has accessed the Services , and we may associate that information with your Account if you have one .
We may also store unique or near-unique identifiers that we associate with your Account in our cookies .
This information , in turn , is sometimes used as described above in `` Information Related to Use of the Services . ''
Most web browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature , which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies , as well as -LRB- depending on the sophistication of your web browser -RRB- allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways .
If you disable cookies , you wo n't be able to log into your Account , and so wo n't be able to use the vast majority of our Services ; as such , we do n't recommend disabling your cookies when using the Services .
Some services that we use -LRB- including Third Party Services -RRB- , such as Google Analytics , use web tags and may also place their own cookies on your browser , and individual blogs on our network may contain code that places their own cookies .
For more information about Google Analytics , click here .
We also run limited-time studies using web tags , sometimes with third parties , to , for example , measure the effectiveness of our advertising or email .
Note that , unless otherwise disclosed , this Privacy Policy covers our use of cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by third parties .
Being able to log into your account is one of Tumblr 's many great features .
Cookies make this possible .
Cookies and web tags also let us learn how people use Tumblr , which in turn helps us make a better product for you to use .
Information About Your Contacts : Certain features of the Services allow you to provide us with your contact lists , so that we can connect you with people in our Services that are also on those contact lists .
For example , you can temporarily connect your email contact information to your Account , so that we can provide you with a list of your email contacts that use the Services .
As another example , you can send us your mobile phone contact information through our mobile applications , which then allows us to provide you with a list of those contacts that use the Services so that you can `` follow '' their blogs .
We will give you a choice as to whether or not you provide us such information , and we will disclose fully , within the appropriate feature , how we use that information .
We wo n't look at -LRB- or be able to look at -RRB- your contact list unless you ask us to .
Why would you ask us to ?
Because that 's how you would find out if any of your contacts are on Tumblr .
We discard this information immediately afterward .
Derived Information : As described above in `` Native Actions '' and `` Information Related to Use of the Services , '' we analyze your actions on the Services in order to derive or infer characteristics that may be descriptive of your Account -LRB- for example , what kinds of blogs you follow or what kinds of posts you view , like , or reblog -RRB- .
We use this information for the purposes described in `` Information Related to Use of the Services , '' above .

You 'll do great things on Tumblr , surely , but if it ever comes time to say goodbye , then you 're free to delete your account at any time and for any reason .

What wo n't get scrubbed are Reblogs of your posts .
Those will remain on whatever blog reblogged them .
Like we said before , it can be really , really hard to delete something once it goes out onto the internet , so be sure you 're only publishing stuff that you 're certain you want to publish .
