The Beet Service
We agree to provide you with the Beet Service. The Service includes all of the Beet products, features, applications, services, technologies, and software that we provide. The Service is made up of the following aspects:
Offering personalized opportunities to create, connect, communicate, discover, and share.
We build systems that try to understand who and what you and others care about, and use that information to help you create, find, join, and share experiences that matter to you. Part of that is highlighting content, features, offers, and accounts you might be interested in, and offering ways for you to experience Beet, based on things you and others do on and off Beet.
Fostering a positive, inclusive, and safe environment.
We develop and use tools and offer resources to our community members that help to make their experiences positive and inclusive, including when we think they might need help. We also have teams and systems that work to combat abuse and violations of our Terms and policies, as well as harmful and deceptive behavior. We use all the information we have-including your information-to try to keep our platform secure. Learn more in the
Data Policy.
Developing and using technologies that help us consistently serve our growing community.
Organizing and analyzing information for our growing community is central to our Service. A big part of our Service is creating and using cutting-edge technologies that help us personalize, protect, and improve our Service on an incredibly large scale for a broad global community.

Automated technologies also help us ensure the functionality and integrity of our Service.
