Introduction
ADDWIRE NETWORK LLC (“we,” “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it by adhering to this privacy policy (“policy”).
This policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information of users of our website http://gmaes.addwirework.com/ (“website”) and our software application SimpleSum (“application”). In this policy, “you” refers to anyone who accesses our website or uses the application. Our website and application are collectively referred to as “services.”
This policy also explains your choices regarding how we manage your personal information. Privacy laws in Canada generally define “personal information” as any information that identifies an individual, including information that can be used alone or in conjunction with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single individual.
This policy applies to the personal information we collect, use, or disclose about you:
On our website.
Through the application.
In electronic communications, texts, and other electronic information between you and the services.
Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your personal information collection, processing, and storage. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use the services. By accessing or using the services, you indicate that you understand, accept, and agree to the practices described in this policy.
This policy may change from time to time (see “Changes to Our Privacy Policy” section below). Your continued use of the services after we make changes is deemed acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.
Information We Collect About You
We may collect and use several types of information from you or about you, including:
Personal Information: Information that can reasonably be used to identify you directly or indirectly, such as your name, email address, username, or other similar identifiers, as well as any other identifiers we may use to contact you online or offline. Please note that the services do not typically collect this type of information; we only receive it when you choose to provide it to us.
Non-Personal Information: Information that does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity or relate directly to an identified individual, including usage information such as videos played on your device, screens viewed, and your use of application features and functions. We also collect statistical or aggregated information related to your use of the application (e.g., information related to your video library or the IDFA advertising identifier assigned to your profile).
Technical Information: Including your IP address, device information, and SimpleSum version number.
Non-Personal Information about Your Interactions with the Services: Including complete URLs, clicks to, through, and from our website (including date and time), video search queries, page response times, download errors and crash logs, duration of access to certain aspects of the services, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicking, and mouse hovering), or browsing methods used to leave the page.
As you can see, most of the information we collect is not personal information. This is because this information does not contain any identifiable information, and we cannot link it to your identity. We do not require you to register an account to use the services, nor do we need you to provide your name or email address.
If you wish to opt out of the collection, use, or disclosure of your information through the services, please email us at [email protected], and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
How We Collect Your Information
We use different methods to collect your information, including through:
Direct Interactions: When you provide information to us, such as by contacting us via email or other means.
Automated Technologies or Interactions: When you browse our website or use the application. Automatically collected information may include usage details, IP address, and information collected through your IDFA, which is an identifier assigned by Apple to your device for delivering advertising content.
Information We Collect Through Automated Data Collection Technologies
When you browse and interact with the services, we may use automated data collection technologies to collect certain information about your device, browsing actions, and patterns, including details about your usage of the application (including frequency and duration of use) and how you interact with ads provided in the application. This includes information such as the unique ID of your device.
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how you use and interact with the services. You can opt out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics opt-out page.
The information we automatically collect is statistical data and does not include personal information (again, because we cannot link it to your name or other identity information). We may use and maintain this information to provide better and more personalized services, including enabling us to:
Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.
Store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our services based on your personal interests.
Recognize you when you return to the services.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected about you or provided by you, including any personal information, to:
Present our services to you and provide you with the information, products, or services you request from us.
Improve our services.
Fulfill the purpose for which you provide the information or for any other purpose described at the time of collection.
Fulfill any obligations and rights arising from any contracts we have with you, including billing and collection or compliance with legal requirements.
Notify you of changes to our services.
Measure or understand the effectiveness of the advertising we serve to you and others and provide you with relevant advertising.
With your consent, for any other purpose.
We may use the information collected from you to display ads to target audiences of our advertisers. Although we do not disclose your personal information for these purposes without your consent, if you click on or otherwise interact with an ad, advertisers may consider you to meet their targeting criteria.
Disclosure of Your Information
We may disclose the personal information we collect or you provide as described in this policy:
According to applicable laws, in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of a bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, we may disclose the personal information we hold about customers and users to the buyer or other successors, as the personal information we hold about customers and users will be one of the assets transferred.
To advertisers and advertising networks that need this information to select and deliver relevant advertising to you and others. We do not disclose identifiable personal data to advertisers, but we may provide them with aggregated information about our users. We may also use such aggregated information to help advertisers target specific audiences (e.g., users in specific locations or users whose video libraries contain certain types of videos). We may utilize the information collected from you to enable us to display our advertisers' ads to that target audience.
Data Security
The security of your personal information is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative measures to protect your personal information from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information transmitted to our website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumventing any privacy settings or security measures on the website.
Data Retention
Unless permitted or required by applicable laws or regulations, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes for which we collected the information, including to meet any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. In some cases, we may anonymize your personal information so that it no longer relates to you. We reserve the right to use such anonymized and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or obtaining your consent.
Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up to date. If your personal information changes, please notify us promptly. Under applicable law, you have the right to request access to and correction of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide access to your personal information, except as otherwise provided by applicable privacy legislation.
If you wish to review, verify, correct, or withdraw your consent to the use of your personal information, you may also email us at [email protected] to request access, correction, or deletion of any personal information you provided to us. If we believe that the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect, we may not accept the request to change the information.
We may ask you for specific information to help us confirm your identity and your access rights and to provide you with the personal information we hold about you or to make the changes you request. Applicable law may allow or require us to deny you access to some or all of the personal information we hold, or we may have already destroyed, deleted, or anonymized your personal information according to our record-keeping obligations and practices. If we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons according to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
If you have concerns about our response or wish to correct the information provided, you can contact our Privacy Officer at [email protected].
Access and use of information provided in the services is governed by our Terms of Use and Conditions at http://gmaes.addwirework.com/termsof.html.
