In addition, for the duration of time users maintain data at Dabble, they grant all users a commercial, non-exclusive reuse license to their publicly accessible data, created through the use of Dabble, unless they choose options to limit the public distribution of their public data, such as "collected videos" or "playlists".

Aggregated information that is not personally identifying for users is solely owned by Dabble and is used to improve our services. Statistical information may be shared with other parties.
