Connecting with the Applications and Information Provided by You
When You Register or Otherwise Contact Us. When You provide Us with information (including personal information) in connection with a particular activity, You agree that such action constitutes a purchase or inquiry establishing a business relationship with Us. You expressly agree to receiving communications from Appliance Guard Pro (and its affiliates and subsidiaries) through the information You provided to Us. You also attest that You have the legal authority over any telephone number You provide to Us and can provide the authorization to contact You. This means Appliance Guard Pro may contact You, in person or via a recorded message, via e-mail, telephone or mobile phone number (including use of automated dialing equipment), text (SMS) message, or any other means of communication that Your wireless or other telecommunications device may be capable of receiving.
Registration Information. We will collect personal information from You if You register on the Applications or place an order for Our Products or Services, which may include, but is not limited to, name, address, phone number(s), and email address(es). You may not use a user/account name that is offensive, sexually explicit or otherwise inappropriate (as determined by Appliance Guard Pro), infringes any trademark or other proprietary rights of others, or is used in any way that violates the terms of use of the Site (the “Terms of Use”). Appliance Guard Pro reserves the right to refuse, in its sole discretion, to any user access to the Applications or Our Products and Services without notice, for any or no reason.

You should do not enter Financial Information anywhere in Your profile, except the fields specifically provided for that information.

You may be given the option to link Your Facebook account so that You can comment on the Applications and Your interaction with Appliance Guard Pro or use other features of the Applications. When You comment on the Applications using Your Facebook username and password and click “allow” on the Facebook permission authorization screen, We will automatically import all information that You allow to be imported from Your Facebook profile based upon Your privacy settings at Facebook, such as Your location, Your interests, etc. (collectively, “Permitted Facebook Profile Content”) and You give Us permission to: (a) capture, store, use and display Your Permitted Facebook Profile Content, including syncing access to such Permitted Facebook Profile Content when You are not using Applications and (b) otherwise use Permitted Facebook Profile Content as described in this Privacy Policy. The authentication of Your Facebook login credentials is conducted solely through Facebook.
User Generated Content. The Applications may contain review or chat areas or other message, communication or other mechanisms designed to enable You to interact with others or to post content on the Applications (the “Communication Services”). Please remember that any information You reveal while participating with the Communication Services becomes public information, becomes the property of, and is subject to redistribution by, Appliance Guard Pro. You should exercise caution and discretion when deciding to share Your personal information in a posting or submission. There is no expectation of privacy when posting or otherwise participating on the Communication Services. If You post content, such as messages, reviews or photos, please be aware that any personally identifiable information contained in such content is accessible to registered users or visitors to that Application or Communication Services and We have no control over how those users may use Your personally identifiable information. We have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any activity and content associated with the Communication Services. We reserve the right to take action in relation to any content, including that which We deem offensive. Please review Our Terms of Use for more information about Your appropriate use of these Communication Services.
Information Collected Through Technology
In addition to any personal information or other information that You choose to disclose to Us, We and Our third-party service providers may use various technologies which may include cookies, pixel tags and web beacons, browser analysis tools, and web server logs to track and record certain information. As You use Our Applications, Your browser and devices communicate with servers operated by Us, Our business partners and Our service providers to coordinate and record Your activity and fulfill Your requests (“Usage Information”). We collect various types of information from cookies and other technologies. For example, We may collect information from the devices You use to access Our Applications, Your operating system type or mobile device model, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language Your system uses and the geographic location and time zone of Your device. Browsers routinely send these types of information to web servers. Furthermore, We collect Your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) from Your computer (or other device) used to access the Applications (each, a “Device”). A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to the Device used to access the Applications, and Our computers identify Your Device by its Device Identifier. We may also collect information about the website You were visiting before You came to Our Applications and the website You visit after You leave Our Applications, if this information is supplied to Us by Your browser. We may use this Usage Information for different purposes, which may include improvements of the Applications.
The information from cookies and related technology is stored in web server logs and also in web cookies kept on Your Device(s), which are then transmitted back to Our Site by Your Device(s). These servers are operated, and the cookies managed, by Us, Our business partners or Our service providers. For example, when You visit Applications, We and Our service providers may place cookies on Your Device(s). Cookies allow Us to recognize You when You come back to an Application and may track and target Your interests in order to provide a customized experience. Cookies also help Us discover certain types of fraud. A “cookie” is a small amount of information that a web server transmitts to Your browser that stores information about Your account, Your preferences, and Your use of the Applications. Some cookies contain serial numbers that allow Us to connect Your activity with Applications with other information We store about You in Your profile or as related to Your interactions with Applications.
Some cookies are temporary, whereas others may be configured to be more permanent. “Session” cookies are temporary cookies used for various reasons, such as to manage page views. Your browser usually erases Session cookies once You exit Your browser. “Persistent” cookies last longer and are stored on Your computers or mobile devices even after You exit Your browser. We use Persistent cookies for various purposes, which may include retrieving certain information You have previously provided. “Flash” cookies, known as local shared objects, are data files placed on a Device via the Adobe Flash plug-in that may be built-in to or downloaded by You to Your Device to personalize Your visit. Our third-party service providers also may use Flash cookies to collect and store information. Flash cookies are different from standard browser cookies because of the amount of, type of, and way data is stored. Cookies may be used for many purposes, including, without limitation, remembering You and Your preferences and tracking Your visits to Our web pages. You can choose to have Your computer notify You each time a Persistent or Session cookie is being sent, or You can choose to turn off such cookies through Your browser settings. There are differences between browsers, so look at Your browser Help menu to figure out how to modify Your cookies. However, cookie management tools provided by Your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, please click http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html. In some cases, You may be able to disable cookies on Your Device. However, if You choose to disable cookies on Your Device, some features of the Applications may function improperly. For example, if cookies are disabled, You will not be able to log into the Site and therefore You experience will be that of an anonymous user.
Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on the Applications or in Our emails that allow Us to determine whether You have performed specific actions. When You access the Applications or open email messages, the pixel tags and web beacons generate a notice of that action to Us, or Our service providers. These tools allow Us to measure responses to Our communications and improve the Applications and promotions.
We also use embedded scripts which are programming codes designed to collect information about Your interactions with the Applications, such as the links You click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto Your Device from Our web server or a third-party service provider, is active only while You are connected to the Applications and is deactivated or deleted after that.
We use HTML5, another form of collection, in Our Applications. HTML5 is another form of collection, tracking and storage that does not rely on traditional browser cookies. Like Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies can be used to track users across website but are not stored in browsers’ cookie files. As far as we know, currently there is no way a user of a mobile device can remove HTML5 tracking and storage.
In many cases, the information We collect using cookies and other tools is used in non-identifiable ways, without any reference to personal information. For example, We use information We collect about Application users to optimize Our Products and Services and understand traffic and usage patterns. In other cases, We associate the information We collect using cookies and related technologies with personal information. Whenever We associate Usage Information or a Device Identifier with Your personal information, We will treat it as personal information.
Information You Provide About a Third Party
If You send someone else a communication from the Applications, such as sending an invitation to a friend, the information You provide (names, e-mail addresses, etc.) is used to facilitate the communication and is not used for any other marketing purpose unless that person give a consent or unless We explicitly say otherwise. Please be aware that when You use any send-to-a-friend functionality on the Applications, Your e-mail address may be included in the communication sent to Your friend.
Information We Collect from Third Parties
We acquire information from other trusted sources to update or supplement the information You have provided or that We collected automatically, such as information to validate or update Your address or other lifestyle and demographic information. This information helps Us to maintain the accuracy of the information We collect, to target Our communications so that We can inform You of products, services and offers that may interest You and for internal business analysis or other business aims.
Third Party Analytic Technologies
We use third parties’ analytic and tracking tools to better understand who is using the Applications, how people are using the Applications, how to make the Applications and their content more effectivene and how to better target advertising. Those third-party companies may use cookies, pixel tags or other technologies to collect and store anonymous information such as time of visit, pages visited, time spent on each page of the Applications, Device Identifiers, type of operating system used and other website(s) You may have visited. They might combine information they collect from Your interaction with Applications with information they collect from other sources and use this combined information to send You certain marketing or other communications. We do not have access to, nor control over, third parties’ use of cookies or other tracking technologies.
If You wish to exercise choice with respect to collection and use of the data by these third-party tools, You may visit: https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN.
Some of the analytic and tracking tools We may use are Google Analytics and Google Analytics Advertising. The Google Analytics Advertising features We may use include the following:
Remarketing;
Google Display Network Impression Reporting;
Google Analytics Demographic and Interest Reporting; and
Integrated services that require Google Analytics to collect data via advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers
If You wish to manage Your Google accounts, You may visit: https://adssettings.google.com/u/0/authenticated.
If You do not wish Your data to be used by Google Analytics, Google has made available the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
In addition, We use the Mouseflow web analytics service. Mouseflow may record mouse clicks, mouse movements and scrolling activity, as well as any text You type when You are visiting the Site, except text in fields designated to password. Mouseflow does not collect personal information that You do not voluntarily enter when visiting the Site nor does it track Your browsing patterns across other web sites. For more information, please see Mouseflow’s Privacy Policy at http://mouseflow.com/privacy.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES, PRACTICES AND CONTACT INFORMATION
Links to other Website(s) and Communities. To the extent hyperlinks may be utilized to access external or third-party website(s) and communities, You should be aware that these external or third-party website(s) and communities are not controlled by Us and, therefore, are not subject to this Privacy Policy. We suggest that You review the privacy policies of each such website and community to determine how Your information will be used.
Security. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of information transmitted to Us. To protect Your information delivered to Us electronically, the Applications use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL encrypts Your credit card number, name and address so only We are able to decode Your information. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while We do our best to guard Your information, to the extent permitted by law, We do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information You transmit to or from the Applications, and You do so at Your own risk.
We warn You to keep any password that You establish with Us in a safe place and not to disclose it to anyone. Also, We suggest that You log off Your account and close Your browser window after You finished Your visit to an Application.

Changes to the Privacy Policy. We may occasionally change this Privacy Policy. The newest version of the Privacy Policy will always be posted on the Applications, with the “Effective Date” shown at the top of the Policy. We may review and update this Privacy Policy if Our practices change, as technology changes, or as We add new Applications or Communication Services or change current ones. If We make any material changes to this Privacy Policy or how We treat Your personal information, You will know either because (a) the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy will change or (b) We will provide You with a copy of the revised Privacy Policy that includes an updated Effective Date.
