Privacy Notice Last Modified: Aug 14, 2017 Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Defender VPN. This Notice generally describes the information that we gather from you on the Service, the ways in which we use and disclose this information, and the steps we take to protect this information. By using the Service, you consent to the privacy practices described in this Notice. This Notice is incorporated into and is subject to the Defender VPN Terms of Use. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Notice have the meaning given to them in the Defender VPN Terms of Use. Our Commitment to User Privacy: Except as explained in this Notice, Defender VPN does not collect any Personal Information about you when you use the Service. "Personal Information," also referred to as personally identifiable information, is information that may be tied to a specific individual. Examples of Personal Information include name, email address, mailing address, mobile phone number, and credit card or other billing information. Please note, however, that for purposes of this Privacy Notice, Defender VPN does not include your IP address or unique device identifier within the definition of Personal Information. Defender VPN's practices regarding IP address and unique device identifiers are described separately in this Notice. If you purchase DefenderVPN Elite, you will be required to provide certain Personal Information to a third party Payment Processor (as defined below). The Personal Information you provide in connection with your purchase of the Elite version of DefenderVPN is not associated with your online activities when you use DefenderVPN. We automatically collect certain non-Personal Information from Users. For instance, Defender VPN assigns a unique identifier to each User of the Service, but Defender VPN does not tie these unique identifiers to the Personal Information of Users. Additionally, any browsing information or other similar information relating to your online activities transmitted by you to our servers when using DefenderVPN is cleared after your VPN "session" is closed. When you use the Service, Defender VPN will check your account information (which includes Personal Information) to determine the level of service you have signed up for before establishing your VPN connection. Your account information is not associated with your online activities when using DefenderVPN. Our Commitment to Web Defender: Defender VPN employs certain physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and Defender of any information collected by the Service. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant that the safeguards will be uninterrupted or effective, or that any information you transmit to the Service will remain secure, and you transmit data through the Service at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, Defender VPN employs certain techniques and technologies intended to ensure the Defender of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. Please note that the Service does not protect your computer from viruses or malware. We recommend that you obtain and use anti-virus/anti-malware solutions and keep them up to date. The Information We May Collect: User-provided Information. In connection with the Service (such as in user forums or when registering for an account), you may provide us with various information, including Personal Information. You may also submit Personal Information in connection with purchasing DefenderVPN Elite, which is collected through a company providing a payment mechanism (e.g., a payment processor, Apple's iTunes, or a similar means of payment) (each, a "Payment Processor") and is retained by the Payment Processor. You may also provide us with certain email account related information, such as account and credential information, which we use to enable faster sign-in by allowing pre-population of account log-in credentials when you access certain features of our Service. Your Personal Information is not associated with your online activities when you are using DefenderVPN and Defender VPN does not require you to provide us with your Personal Information unless you decide to upgrade to DefenderVPN Elite or to register for an account. You may also provide Defender VPN with Personal Information in connection with your use of the DefenderVPN Help Desk Forums (the "Help Forum"). Any information you submit in connection with the Help Forum is not linked with data relating to your online activities. Cookies. When you use our Service, we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent use of our Service. These persistent types of cookies can be removed, but each web browser is a little different, so please look through your browser "Help" file to learn the correct way to modify your cookies set-up. "Automatically Collected" Information. When you use our Service, we may automatically record certain information from your web browser by using different types of proprietary technology (such as cookies), which may include your IP address or unique device ID. For example, we may collect your IP address when you commence your use of the Service; we do not, however, store logs associating your IP address with your online activities that take place when you are using of the Service. The automatically-collected information is used by Defender VPN only in the aggregate, in truncated form, or in order to generate a "hashed" or "virtual" IP Address. Defender VPN may use automatically-collected information to identify your general location, improve the Service, or optimize advertisements displayed through the Service. The Way Defender VPN Uses Information: Defender VPN may use automatically-collected information to monitor the advertisements displayed on the Service, and for purposes of research or analysis. Please note that by having DefenderVPN on your computer, but not turned on, no information is collected by Defender VPN through DefenderVPN. Anonymous web information may only be collected through DefenderVPN when you turn DefenderVPN ON. Defender VPN will use information you choose to provide voluntarily to Defender VPN only as described in this Notice and for those uses to which you otherwise consent. For example, if you provide Defender VPN with your phone number and agree to receive text messages from Defender VPN, Defender VPN may use your phone number to send you a link to download DefenderVPN and occasional informational text messages. You can always tell us you do not wish to receive such messages and we will stop sending them to you after a reasonable time to implement your request. If you choose to register with Defender VPN and provide us with your email address, we will use your email address and password to identify you at log-in, and to send you a welcome message and occasional updates, offers, or other information relating to our Service. We may use cookies and automatically-collected information we collect on our Service to: (i) provide customized advertisements, content, and information; (ii) monitor and analyze the effectiveness of Service and third-party marketing activities; and (iii) monitor aggregate site usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed. When Defender VPN Discloses Information: Except as described in this Notice, we will not disclose information that we collect in connection with your use of the Service to third parties without your consent. Please remember that, although Defender VPN assigns a unique identifier to each user of the Service, Defender VPN does not tie your unique identifiers to Personal Information about you, and all browsing information or other similar information relating to your online activities transmitted by you to our servers when using DefenderVPN is cleared after your VPN "session" is closed. We may disclose information to third parties if you consent to us doing so, as well as in the following circumstances: * Defender VPN may share anonymous or aggregated data with third parties, including its affiliates, advertisers, and other current and prospective business partners. Defender VPN may use anonymous or aggregated data collected for website administration, advertising, and promotional purposes, and may share such information with affiliated and unaffiliated entities. * Defender VPN may enter into agreements with unaffiliated entities which possess technology that allows us to customize the advertising and marketing messages Users receive while using the Service, and these unaffiliated entities may have access to non-Personal Information that we collect from Users. * Defender VPN may provide Personal Information to third-party service providers who work for Defender VPN and who may contact you to notify you of occasional updates or other information relevant to our Service. * Defender VPN may disclose automatically collected and other aggregate non-Personal Information with interested third parties to assist such parties in understanding the usage, viewing, and demographic patterns for certain programs, content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the Service. * Defender VPN may disclose any information, including Personal Information provided by you, if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with state, federal, or international laws (such as export control, copyright or criminal laws), in response to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena or warrant, or to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement or other governmental agencies. * Defender VPN also reserves the right to disclose any information, including Personal Information provided by you, that we believe in our sole discretion is appropriate or necessary to (i) take precautions against liability, (ii) protect ourselves or others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses or activity, (iii) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, (iv) protect the Defender or integrity of the Service and any facilities or equipment used to make the Service available, or (v) protect our property or other legal rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement of our agreements), or the rights, property, or safety of others. * Information about our users may be disclosed and otherwise transferred to a potential or actual acquirer, or successor or assignee as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets. Third-party Advertisers and Web Sites: Defender VPN allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the Service. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Service. Any third parties, including advertisers, may automatically receive a virtual, proxy IP Address assigned to your device by Defender VPN when you are using DefenderVPN on protected sites. Your original IP address will not be permanently stored or provided to any third parties by your use of DefenderVPN. As described in our Terms, however, we may not provide a virtual IP Address for every web site you may visit and third-party web sites may receive your original IP address when you are visiting those web sites. Third-party ad networks may also use other technologies (such as cookies, javascript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize their advertising content, and may collect information about your online activities over time and across different web sites when you use our Service. This may include rough geographical data, data relating to the frequency at which advertisements are shown, whether you are a unique viewer of an advertisement or user of a web site, the domain on which the advertisement was shown, whether the advertisement was in view on your screen and whether you engaged with or clicked on the advertisement. Advertisers may also be able to obtain data that you willingly submit after clicking on the advertisement or through the advertisement itself, and advertisers may be able to link certain information about your web-viewing habits while using the Service by cross-referencing existing cookies or other data about you. This Notice does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of third parties, such as advertisers or other web sites visited by Users. Please note that this Notice will not apply to your activities or any information you disclose directly to any third party, while using any third-party products or services, or while otherwise interacting with third parties. How third parties handle and use Personal Information related to their sites and services is governed by their Defender, privacy and other policies, if any, and not this Notice. Defender VPN has no responsibility for any third party's policies, or any third party's compliance with them. You may exercise choices with respect to certain third party cookies, including opting out of receiving such cookies, by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance\'s Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising at www.aboutads.info, or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org.
