Mobile Device Apps (the "Mobile Apps"):
When using the Company’s Mobile App, the Company collects and uses information about you in the same way and for the same purposes as the Company does when you use our website.
In addition to this, the Company may also use some other information that we collect automatically when you use the Company’s Mobile Apps. Specifically:
- The Company collects information about Mobile App functionality that you access and use, allowing the Company to identify aspects of the Mobile App that are areas of interests. We may use this data to refine and continuously improve the Mobile App. The data we collect for this purpose does not enable the Company to directly identify you.
- Each Mobile App also sends the Company the device's unique device identifier (or "UID").
- Each Mobile App may also send the Company error-reporting notifications in the event that it hangs or crashes. This enables the Company to investigate the error and to improve the stability of the Mobile App for future releases. As part of these error reports, the Mobile App sends the Company information pertaining to the mobile device type and version, the UID, the time the error occurred, the feature being used and the state of the application when the error occurred. The Company does not use this information for any purpose other than investigating and correcting the error.
You always have the ability to control what information a Mobile App sends to us. You can exercise this control either by changing the settings of the Mobile App under its setting menu or changing the settings of your mobile device. Alternatively, you can remove the Mobile App from your mobile device entirely and access our services through our website.
Third-Party Websites:
This website may link to, or be linked to, other websites not maintained by or related to Company. Company is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of any third parties or third-party websites, including any linked or linking websites. To the extent that you disclose personally identifiable information to any such third parties, different rules may apply to their use and disclosure of personal information that you disclose to them. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of such websites before disclosing your personal information to them.
