Please review this policy to understand the steps we have taken to secure your Personal Information.
2. Personal Information. We refer to information that can personally identify you, such as your name and email address, as “Personal Information”.

3. Usage Information. We collect non-personal statistical information that does not personally identify you. This includes non-personal statistical information about your mobile device, your internet connection, the equipment that you use to access our Services, and how you use our Services (for example, which buttons you tap and screens you view within the app and which app settings you select). We refer to this information as “Usage Information”. This information allows us to optimize the Services and improve the internet connections and equipment that are used to access the Application. We collect the Usage Information directly from you when you provide it to us and automatically as you navigate the Application and interact with our Services. Information collected this way includes: (a) details of your visits to our Services, including traffic data, location data, logs, other communication data, and the resources that you access and use on the Application; and (b) information about your computer, mobile device and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, and browser type.

You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser or mobile device. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Services. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you use the Services.
- Pixel Tags / Web Beacons: Pages of our Application and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email. We may also use these web beacons for other related Application statistics (e.g., recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity).
- Device Identifiers: When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to access our Services, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers”. Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by us.
- Tracking URLs: These are links that allow the Company to determine the effectiveness of a particular part or feature of the Application or a marketing campaign. This helps us serve more relevant content and information.
4. Third-party Service Providers. We may use subcontractors, vendors, or other third-parties in order to efficiently provide our Services to you (“Service Providers”). Service Providers may provide services including, but are not limited to, providing data hosting and credit card processing services. Some Service Providers will collect information directly from you. Information collected directly from these Service Providers is governed by their privacy policies. You should view the privacy policies of Service Providers before providing information to them.

- Law and Harm: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose or share your Personal Information in order to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging Personal Information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- Enforcement: We may disclose your Personal Information in order to enforce or apply the terms in our End-User License Agreement and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes.
