The Service collects information from you in two ways: directly from your input and automatically through the Service’s technologies.
a. Information provided by you
b. Information Collected Automatically
We may use and disclose automatically collected information for any purpose, except where we are restricted by applicable law. If we combine any automatically collected information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information.
We may also use aggregated information for any purpose, however, this information does not identify specific individuals and so is not personal information.
c. Cookies and Web Beacons
The Service may also automatically collect information through the use of cookies or similar technologies, such as web beacons.

However, if you block cookies, you may not be able to register, login or make full use of the Service. You can also use your mobile device’s settings to manage the available privacy options.
Our HTML-formatted emails may contain a web beacon to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to users, to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them and to inform our advertisers in aggregate how many users have clicked on their advertisements. The web beacon will be deleted when you delete the email. Emails in plain text rather than HTML will not include the web beacon.
We use the personal information collected through the Service to complete various actions:
We may on occasion also match or combine the personal information that you provide with information that we obtain from other sources or that is already in our records, whether collected online or offline, for the purposes described above.

Change in Corporate Circumstances.

The Service also may provide access to social media features, message boards, chat, forums, blogs, profile pages and other services to which you are able to post personal information and materials. Any information you post or disclose through these services is public. Please be careful when disclosing personal information in these public areas.
Mobile platforms that contain a link to this privacy policy may allow you to choose to share information between the Service and your social network account (such as Facebook). Through this option, you may choose to have personal information and other content about you available from social networks, transmitted and shared through the Service. Similarly, you may choose to have personal information and other content about you available from the Service, including your location and route information, transmitted to and shared through your social network account.
By setting the Service to integrate with social networks including by signing onto the Service by using your social network account (such as your Facebook account), you agree to share information (including personal information) between Appriss and such social networks, for the purposes provided under this Privacy Policy.
The social network’s use of information made available by Appriss is governed by that social network’s privacy policy and controlled by the social network, not by this privacy policy or Appriss.
When you connect to the social network account through the Service for the first time or otherwise make the Service interact with your social network account, you will be asked to permit the social network to share your personal information stored on such social network with the Service. We collect your information from your social network account only in accordance with your privacy settings you have set up under your social network accounts.
Accordingly we only collect such information which you allowed the social network(s) to share with third parties (such as your name, email address, list of friends, profile picture, other information you make publicly available via the applicable social network). You understand that the Service may access, make available and store (if applicable and as permitted by the third party social network and authorized by you) such information so that it is available on and through your account. For example, Appriss may allow you to share your location with your Facebook friends, via the Service.
Please note that certain information which you have defined as private on your third party social network accounts may become public to other users of the Service if you have defined such information to be public on the Service. For example, if you designate your social network username as “private” in your social network account (to the extent possible under said settings), but have elected to set your Service account settings as public, then the username will become public on the Service.
