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.

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.

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.

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 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.
