Personal Data may be collected through voluntary input or automatically when the Service is used. For example, in order to register with us, you may be required to input personal and other information, such as name, area of interest, email, gender, etc.... While utilizing the Service or making In Service Purchases you may provide us with additional information, such as your address, photos or other media, blog posts, messages on a forum or between you and other users etc…This information may be collected either through a website or a mobile application, and may be sent to servers throughout the United States or abroad. While we may have In Service Purchases available or other goods or services available for purchase on our site, we will not store your credit card or other payment information.
In using the Service, you authorize us to collect, parse, and retain data relating to our provision of the Service. Failure to provide certain Personal Data may make it impossible for this Application to provide its services.
You are responsible for any Personal Data of third parties obtained, published or shared through this Application and confirm that you have the third party's consent to provide the Personal Data to us.
We use various technologies to collect information from your device and about your activities on our Service.
Information Collected Automatically: We automatically collect information from your browser or device when you visit our Service. This information could include your IP address, device ID and type, your browser type and language, the operating system used by your device, access times, your mobile device’s geographic location while our application is actively running (and when it is not running depending on your phone settings), location data when you post Content, and the referring website address.
Cookies: Any use of Cookies - or of other tracking tools - by the Service or by the owners of third-party services used by this Service, unless stated otherwise, serves to identify you and remember your preferences, for the sole purpose of facilitating your use of the Service. We may also use a cookie to automatically collect information about your activity on our Service. If we advertise, we (or third parties) may use certain data collected on our Service to show you Alertli advertisements on other sites or applications.
Mobile Device IDs: If you're using our app, we use mobile device IDs (the unique identifier assigned to a device by the manufacturer), or Advertising IDs (for iOS 6 and later), instead of cookies, to recognize you. We do this to store your preferences and track your use of our app. Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted, but Advertising IDs can be reset in “Settings” on your iPhone. Ad companies also use device IDs or Advertising IDs to track your use of the app, track the number of ads displayed, measure ad performance and display ads that are more relevant to you. Analytics companies use device IDs to track information about app usage.
Third Party Advertising: We may allow service providers, advertising companies and ad networks, and other third parties to display advertisements on our Service. These companies may use tracking technologies, such as cookies or web beacons, to collect information about users who view or interact with their advertisements. We do not provide any non-anonymized personal information to third parties. Some of these third-party advertising companies may be advertising networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies (www.networkadvertising.org). Opting out will not decrease the number of advertisements you see.
Facebook. We may ask for some Facebook permissions allowing it to perform actions with the User's Facebook account and to retrieve information, including Personal Data, from it. For more information about the following permissions, refer to the Facebook permissions documentation and to the Facebook privacy policy. We will ask for permissions to access the following:
By default, this includes certain User’s Data such as id, name, picture, gender, and their locale. Certain connections of the User, such as the Friends, are also available. If the User has made more of their Data public, more information will be available.
Other Social Media and Linked Accounts. We may also ask for permission allowing us to interact with other social media, email, or other accounts. In such case we will ask for permission to access similar information as that outlined above under the section on Facebook, as well as additional information linked to such account.
In General we may use information that we collect about you to: deliver and improve our products and services, and manage our business; manage your account and provide you with customer support; perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in, our or others’ products, services, or content; communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone and/or mobile devices about products or services that may be of interest to you either from us or other third parties; sell Content to third parties; develop, display, and track content and advertising tailored to your interests on our Service and other sites, including providing our advertisements to you when you visit other sites; website or mobile application analytics; verify your eligibility and deliver prizes in connection with contests and sweepstakes; enforce or exercise any rights in our Terms of Use; send you Push notifications; and perform functions or services as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.
In all circumstances, we may perform these functions directly or use a third-party vendor to perform these functions on our behalf who will be obligated to use your personal information only to perform services for us. Also, if you access our Service from a third-party platform, we may share non-personal information with that platform to the extent permitted by your agreement with it and its privacy settings.
Your Personal Data may also be used for legal purposes in court or in stages leading to possible legal action arising from improper use of the Service or related services. You are aware that we may be required to reveal Personal Data upon the request of public authorities.
When you register with Alertli your profile will be viewable by other users of the Service. They will be able to access information you provided to us directly or through Facebook, such as photos, videos, first name or user name, areas of interest, email, gender, etc…
You may also choose to share conversations with other users of the Service or provide certain users with non-public information.
We do not share your personal information with others except as indicated in this Privacy Policy, or when you are specifically informed and have an opportunity to opt out of having your personal information shared.
To recap, we may share your information:
Aggregated and/or non-personal information. We may use and share non-personal information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may combine non-personal information we collect with additional non-personal information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated, non-personal information, or personal information in hashed, non-human readable form, with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis or other business purposes. For example, we may engage a data provider who may collect web log data from you (including IP address and information about your browser or operating system), or place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser to enable you to receive customized ads or content. The cookies may reflect de-identified demographic or other data linked to data you voluntarily have submitted to us (such as your email address), that we may share with a data provider solely in hashed, non-human readable form.
There are a number of places on our Service where you may click on a link to access other websites that do not operate under this Privacy Policy. For example, if you click on an advertisement on our Service, you may be taken to a website that we do not control. These third-party websites may independently solicit and collect information, including personal information, from you and, in some instances, provide us with information about your activities on those websites. We recommend that you consult the privacy statements of all third-party websites you visit by clicking on the “privacy” link typically located at the bottom of the webpage you are visiting.
If you have an Alertli account, you have the ability to review and update your personal information within the Service by opening your account and going to settings. More information about how to contact us is provided below. You also may close your account at any time by visiting the "Settings" page for your account. If you close your account, we will retain certain information associated with your account for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Use, take actions we deem necessary to protect the integrity of our Service or our users, or take other actions otherwise permitted by law. In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties' policies.
You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our Service because such information may be required in order for you to register as user; purchase products or services; participate in a contest, promotion, survey, or sweepstakes; ask a question; or initiate other transactions.
Our Service may also deliver notifications to your phone or mobile device. You can disable these notifications by going into “Settings” on the app or by changing the settings on your mobile device.
You can also control information collected by cookies. You can delete or decline cookies by changing your browser settings. Click “help” in the toolbar of most browsers for instructions.
We take security measures to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, chats, or other communications will always remain secure. Users should also take care with how they handle and disclose their personal information and should avoid sending personal information through insecure email. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data.shtm for information about how to protect yourself against identity theft.
We may provide areas on our Service where you can post information about yourself and others and communicate with others. Such postings are governed by our Terms of Use. Also, whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable pages, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information.
Although our Service is a general audience Service, we restrict the use of our service to individuals age 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from any person under the age of 18.
If you are visiting our Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. By using our services, you understand and agree that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this privacy policy.
This Privacy Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any personal information relating to users of the website.
We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we post changes to this Privacy Policy, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. We recommend that you check our Service from time to time to inform yourself of any changes in this Privacy Policy or any of our other policies.
