Wi Connect Mobile Inc
Privacy Policy
Your privacy is of paramount importance to Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. As such we have developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information. Please take the time to familiarise yourself with our privacy practices and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Personal information is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact an individual.
You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact with Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. or an affiliated company. Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. and its affiliates may share this personal information with each other and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy. We may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, advertising and your customer experience.
Below are some examples of the types of personal information Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. may collect and how we may use it.
What personal information we collect
- When you create a Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. ID, register your products, purchase a product, download files or software or participate in an online survey, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, and credit card information.
- When you share your content with family and friends using Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. products, send gift certificates and products, or invite others to join you on Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. forums, Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. may collect the information you provide about those people such as name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.
- In some cases, we may ask for a Personal National Identification or Social Security number but only in limited circumstances where payment our processing partner requires it or when determining whether to extend commercial credit.
How we use your personal information
- The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on Wi-Connect Mobile Inc’s latest product announcements, software updates, and upcoming events. It also helps us to improve our services, content, and advertising. If you don’t want to be on our mailing list, you can opt out anytime by updating your preferences.
- We also use personal information to help us develop, deliver, and improve our products, services, content, and advertising.
- From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your business interaction with Wi-Connect Mobile Inc., you may not opt out of receiving these communications.
- We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve Wi-Connect Mobile Inc’s products, services, and customer communications.
- If you enter into a sweepstake, contest, or similar promotion we may use the information you provide to administer those programs.
Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
We also collect non-personal information − data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
- We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, location, and the time zone where a Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. product is used so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising.
- We also may collect information regarding customer activities on our website, and from our products and services. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
Cookies and Other Technologies
Wi-Connect Mobile Inc.’s website, online services, interactive applications, email messages, and advertisements may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our website people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. and its partners use cookies and other technologies in mobile advertising services to control the number of times you see a given ad, deliver ads that relate to your interests, and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. If you do not want to receive ads with this level of relevance on your mobile device, you can opt out by accessing the following link on your device: http://oo.Wi-Connect Mobile inc.com. If you opt out, you will continue to receive the same number of mobile ads, but they may be less relevant because they will not be based on your interests. You may still see ads related to the content on a web page or in an application or based on other non-personal information. This opt-out applies only to Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. advertising services and does not affect interest-based advertising from other advertising networks.
Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. and our partners also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website, online services, and applications. Our goal in these cases is to make your experience with Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. more convenient and personal. For example, knowing your first name lets us welcome you the next time you visit a Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. product site. Knowing your country, language and business helps us provide a customized and more useful experience. Knowing someone using your computer or device has accessed a certain product or used a particular service helps us make our advertising and communications more relevant to your interests. Knowing your contact information simply helps us to provide you with better customer service.
As is true of most websites, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.
In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.
Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format that customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
Disclosure to Third Parties
At times Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. may make certain personal information available to strategic partners that work with Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. to provide products and services, or that help Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. market to customers. For example, when you purchase a Quik-ETix, you authorize Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. and its payment processor to exchange the information you provide during the purchase process to carry out service. Once successful, your transaction will be governed by Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. and its carrier’s respective privacy policies. Personal information will only be shared by Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. to provide or improve our products, services and advertising; it will not be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Service Providers
Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. shares personal information with companies who provide services such as information processing, extending credit, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products to you, managing and enhancing customer data, providing customer service, assessing your interest in our products and services, and conducting customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are obligated to protect your information and may be located wherever Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. operates.
Others
It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.
We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.
Protection of Personal Information
Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. takes precautions, including administrative, technical, and physical measures, to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. online services such as Quik-ETix use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is collected. To make purchases from these services, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal information while it’s transmitted over the Internet.
When you use some Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. products, services, or applications or post on a Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. forum, chat room, or social networking service, the personal information you share is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.
Integrity and Retention of Personal Information
Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. makes it easy for you to keep your personal information accurate, complete, and up to date. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Access to Personal Information
You can help ensure that your contact information and preferences are accurate, complete, and up to date by logging in to your account at www.wiconnectmobile.com. For other personal information, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access so you can request that we correct the data if it is inaccurate or delete the data if Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. is not required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law. Access, correction, or deletion requests can be made to the regional Privacy email addresses.
Children
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child younger than 13 we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.
Location-Based Services
To provide location-based services on Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. products, Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. and our partners and licensees may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your registered device. This location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you, and is used by Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. and our partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based products and services. For example, we may share geographic location with discount coupon providers when you opt in to their location services.
Third Party Sites and Services
Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. websites, products, applications, and services may contain links to third-party websites, products, and services. Our products and services may also use or offer products or services from third parties − for example, a third-party mobile application. Information collected by third parties, which may include such things as location data or contact details, is governed by their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third parties.
International Users
Information you provide may be transferred or accessed by entities around the world as described in this Privacy Policy. Wi-Connect Mobile Inc. abides by the “safe harbor” framework set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information collected by organizations in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.
