Evertiq has adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain how Evertiq collects, stores, and uses the information collected in connection with Evertiq’s Services. Should you have any questions relating to this Privacy Policy, please contact us at support@evertiq.com. BY INSTALLING, USING, REGISTERING TO OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND GIVE AN EXPLICIT AND INFORMED CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL, USE, REGISTER TO OR OTHERWISE ACCESS THE SERVICES. Evertiq reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at reasonable times, so please review it frequently. Your continued use of Services will signify your acceptance of the changes to this Privacy Policy.

Non-Personal Data
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “non-personal data” means information that does not directly identify you. Additionally, non-personal data means “aggregate” and “de-personalized” information, which is data Evertiq collects about the use of Evertiq’s Services, from which any personally identifiable data has been removed. Evertiq may use tools or third party analytical software to automatically collect and use certain non-personal data that does not directly enable Evertiq to identify you. The types of non-personal data Evertiq may collect and use include, but are not limited to: (i) device properties, including, but not limited to unique device identifier or other device identifier ("UDID"); (ii) device software platform and firmware; (iii) mobile phone carrier. Evertiq may use and disclose to Evertiq’s partners and contractors the collected non-personal data for purposes of analyzing usage of the Services, advertisement serving, managing and providing the Services and to further develop the Services and other Evertiq services and products. You recognize and agree that the analytics companies utilized by Evertiq may combine the information collected with other information they have independently collected from other services or products relating to your activities. These companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies. By using Evertiq’s Services on a mobile device, Evertiq will also store information locally on the device regarding the content that you choose to save, access, and view. This information is deleted from your device when you delete the application. However, unique identifiers that are persistently associated with your device, including UDID, MAC address, or unique identifiers derived from your device’s technical information, will remain the same after deletion of the Evertiq application. Evertiq also allows analytics provider or providers to collect usage information over the Internet from your device, including a unique identifier that Evertiq or the analytics provider assigns to your device, certain device and technical information, and your Internet protocol address.

Ad Serving Technology
Evertiq reserves the right to use and disclose the collected non-personal data for purposes of advertisement by Evertiq or Evertiq's partners and contractors. Evertiq may employ third party ad serving technologies that use certain methods to collect information as a result of ad serving through Services. Evertiq or third parties operating the ad serving technology may use demographic and location information as well as information logged from your hardware or device to ensure that appropriate advertising is presented within the Service. Evertiq or third parties may collect and use data for this purpose including, but not limited to IP address (including for purposes of determining your approximate geographic location), UDID, software, applications, hardware, browser information, internet and on-line usage information. The foregoing data may be used and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the privacy policy of the company providing the ad serving technology. You recognize and agree that the advertising companies who deliver ads for Evertiq may combine the information collected with other information they have independently collected from other services or products. These companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies. These ad serving technologies are integrated into Services; if you do not want to be subject to this technology, do not use or access Services. Although Evertiq takes commercially reasonable steps to instruct such advertising companies to comply with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, Evertiq does not have access to or control of third party technologies.

Personal Data
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal data” means personally identifiable information that specifically identifies you as an individual. Likely situations when you make personal data available to Evertiq include, but are not limited to: (i) registration for Services, contests and special events; (ii) subscribing to newsletters; (iii) purchasing a product or services through Evertiq’s online stores; (iv) using “tell a friend,” "email this page," or other similar features; (v) requesting technical support; and (vi) otherwise through use of Evertiq’s Services where personal data is required for use and/or participation. The types of personal data may vary depending on the type of activity you are engaged in. The personal data Evertiq may collect and process may include, but are not limited to your name, Evertiq Services’ or third party service ID, e-mail address and location (only if directly identifiable to you, otherwise we treat location as non-personal data). Evertiq may use collected personal data for purposes of analyzing usage of the Services, providing customer and technical support, managing and providing Services (including managing advertisement serving) and to further develop the Services and other Evertiq services and products. Evertiq may combine non-personal data with personal data.

Disclosure and Transfer of Personal Data
Evertiq collects and processes personal data on a voluntary basis and it is not in the business of selling your personal data to third parties. Personal data may, however, occasionally be disclosed in accordance with applicable legislation and this Privacy Policy. Evertiq may hire agents and contractors to collect and process personal data on Evertiq's behalf and in such cases such agents and contractors will be instructed to comply with our Privacy Policy and to use personal data only for the purposes for which the third party has been engaged by Evertiq. These agents and contractors may not use your personal data for their own marketing purposes. Evertiq may use third party service providers such as credit card processors, e-mail service providers, shipping agents, data analyzers and business intelligence providers. Evertiq has the right to share your personal data as necessary for the aforementioned third parties to provide their services for Evertiq. Evertiq is not liable for the acts and omissions of these third parties, except as provided by mandatory law. Evertiq may disclose your personal data to third parties as required by law enforcement or other government officials in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose you or Evertiq to legal liability. Evertiq may also disclose your personal data to third parties when Evertiq has a reason to believe that a disclosure is necessary to address potential or actual injury or interference with Evertiq’s rights, property, operations, users or others who may be harmed or may suffer loss or damage, or Evertiq believes that such disclosure is necessary to protect Evertiq’s rights, combat fraud and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on Evertiq.

Data Retention and Correctness
Evertiq retains the data collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Thereafter if the collected data is no longer needed for purposes specified in this Privacy Policy, Evertiq deletes all aforementioned data in its possession. Evertiq does not verify the correctness of personal data. Even if data is changed or deleted, Evertiq may still retain some of the data to resolve disputes, enforce Evertiq user agreements, and comply with technical and legal requirements and constraints related to the security, integrity and operation of Services.

Cookies and beacons
The Services may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags, clear GIFs and web beacons. Evertiq treats information collected by cookies and similar technologies as non-personal data.
