All defined terms in the Privacy Policy shall have the same meaning as defined in the Terms of Service. CracoApp adheres to the following policies with regard to Your privacy.

1. DEFINITIONS

We may also send you information through email, the App, or other channels. You may opt-out of receiving emails from us through email by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link contained in each email.

3. INFORMATION COLLECTION

When You use the Service, CracoApp collects NPI such as Your device’s IP address and browser type. Likewise, in order to offer You meaningful products and services and for other reasons, CracoApp may collect PII about You from the following sources:

• Information transmitted from Your mobile device; or
• Information You give CracoApp on applications or other forms while using the Service; or
• Information You send CracoApp via any medium, including, but not limited to email, telephone, and social media interaction; or
• Information purchased from third parties.

Registration
In order to use the Service, You must provide CracoApp the following information: name, email address, mobile phone number, and zip code.

CracoApp may request other information from You during or after the registration process that CracoApp uses to provide better and more customized services to its customers. You acknowledge that this information is personal to You, and by registering on CracoApp, You may allow others, including CracoApp, to identify You and to allow CracoApp to use Your information in accordance with the Terms of Service.

Use of Cookies
The Service may send a “cookie” to Your device. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to Your browser from a web server and stored on Your device. A cookie cannot read data off Your device or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies do not damage Your system. Cookies allow CracoApp to recognize You as a user when You access the CracoApp application using the same device and web browser. CracoApp uses cookies to identify which areas of the Service You have used, so the next time You use the Service, those pages may be readily accessible. CracoApp also may use this information to better personalize the content that You see while using the Service. Most browser software can be set to reject cookies. However, if You reject CracoApp’s cookies, certain functionality on the Service may not work correctly or at all. CracoApp does not link NPI from cookies to Your PII.

CracoApp may also use web beacons, pixels, anonymous ad network tags, and cookies to collect NPI about Your use of the Service and the websites of selected sponsors and advertisers, to collect anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers, and to collect data related to Your use of special promotions or newsletters. The information collected by web beacons also allows CracoApp to statistically monitor how many people open CracoApp’s emails and for what purposes these actions are being taken. CracoApp’s web beacons are not used to track Your activity outside of the Service or the websites of CracoApp’s sponsors. CracoApp does not link NPI from web beacons to PII without Your permission. However, because Your web browser requests advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if You had requested a web page from their site. If You are a non-registered visitor of the Service, the only information CracoApp collects will be NPI through the use of cookies or web beacons.

Collection of Location Information
When you use the Service, we may collect location data from the App that You use. We may also collect location data from your device’s IP address. CracoApp may also receive location data passed to it from third-party services or GPS-enabled devices that You have enabled.

Log Files, IP Addresses and Information About Your Device
When You use the Service, CracoApp automatically receives the URL of the Service from which You came and the Service to which You are going when You leave CracoApp’s Service. CracoApp also receives the internet protocol (“IP”) address of Your computer (or the proxy server You use to access the internet), Your computer operating system and type of web browser You are using, email patterns, Your mobile device, including Your Unique Device Identifier (“UDID”) and mobile operating system, as well as the name of Your ISP or Your mobile carrier. The link between Your IP address and Your PII is not shared with third parties without Your permission, except as described in Section 9. (“When CracoApp May Disclose Your Information”), below.

SMS and Call Data
If You communicate with us by phone or through SMS texts, as part of providing You the Service, we may receive SMS and/or call data, such as the date and time of the call or SMS, the sending and receiving phone numbers, and the content of the SMS message.

4. EXEMPTIONS FROM PRIVACY POLICY

CracoApp’s Privacy Policy does not apply to any information You may send to CracoApp by email or instant messaging programs (i.e. AOL, Yahoo, etc.), as email and instant messages are not recognized as secure communication forms. As such, CracoApp requests that You do not send any information, which You consider private, to CracoApp by email or instant message.

As always, You understand that it is Your responsibility to verify Your legal use of a website as well as use of information from the website with the corresponding website owner.

8. USE OF AGGREGATE DATA

In the event that CracoApp is legally compelled to disclose Your PII to a third party, CracoApp will attempt to notify You unless doing so would violate the law or court order.

C. If You prefer that CracoApp does not share certain information with its contractors and service providers, as described above, You can direct CracoApp not to share that information by contacting CracoApp (craco-app@pm.me). Please note that an opt-out with respect to information sharing will not apply to information sharing arrangements described in Sections 9. A or B.
