Some provision of personal information is optional. However, if you do not provide us with certain types of personal information, you may be unable to enjoy the full functionality of the website.
To provide our services to you, we may collect Personal Information, such as your contact details, including your name, email address and contact phone number, your business or company name; your payment and billing information, which we use to bill you for the Services and to process your payments, including credit card details. We may also collect details of conversations we have had with you or any other information relevant to us.
We automatically collect through our Site and Services, information that is often not personally identifiable, such as the website from which visitors came to our Site, IP address, browser type and other information relating to the device through which they access the Site. We may combine this information with the Personal Information we have collected about you.

Each of our apps has its own privacy policy, which is viewable inside the app -You should check the Privacy Policy of any mobile app that you download for information about how that app developer collects, uses and discloses Personal Information.
While we do not directly collect any information from End Users, we may receive Personal Information about End Users that use our Customers’ mobile apps. In order to provide our Services to Customers, each End User of one of our Customer’s mobile apps is assigned a unique identification number, which is used to distinguish amongst individual app users. We also receive information about the type of mobile device an End User is using, as well as the date and time the End User installs, accesses and/or uses a Customer’s mobile app. This information is not personal information or capable of identifying an individual.
Our Customers may, through their mobile apps, collect additional Personal Information from End Users such as name, e-mail address, gender, location information and other information. Depending upon how our Customers manage their mobile apps, we may receive this End User Personal Information and store it on behalf of our Customers, along with the unique identification number we have assigned to that End User.
