We may use your email address to send you Service-related notices (including
any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail). You can

INFORMATION COLLECTED
AUTOMATICALLY
When you use the Service, we use persistent and session cookies
and other tracking technologies to: (a) store your username and password; (b)
analyze the usage of the Service; (c) customize the Service to your
preferences; and (d) control the advertising displayed by the Service. A
persistent cookie remains on your computer after you close your browser so that
it can be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Service. Persistent
cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session
cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset
your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being
sent. However, some features of the Service may not function properly if the
ability to accept cookies is disabled. You can find more information about our
use of Cookies here.
We may also use other Internet technologies, log files, clear
GIFs, Flash technologies, and other similar technologies, to deliver or
communicate with cookies and track your use of the Service. We also may include
clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to determine whether the
message has been opened. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather
additional information through other methods.
We use these automated technologies to collect and analyze certain
types of information we consider to be non-personal information, including: (a)
information related to the devices you use to access or interact with the
Service, such as: IP addresses, geolocation information, unique device
identifiers and other information about your mobile phone or other mobile
device(s), browser types, browser language; and (b) information related to the
ways in which you interact with the Service, such as: referring and exit pages
and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, domain names, landing pages,
pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on
particular pages, the date and time you used the Service, and other similar
information. We may also capture other data, such as search criteria and
results.
We may collect different types of information about your location,
including general information (e.g., IP address, zip code) and more specific
information (e.g., GPS-based functionality on mobile devices used to access the
Service), and may use that information to customize the Service with
location-based information and features. If you access the Service through a
mobile device and you do not want your device to provide us with
location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other
location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to
do this.
Gadgets and tech Product Reviews may allow third parties to serve
advertisements on the Service and use other third parties to help us collect
and analyze information about your use of the service, generate aggregate site
usage statistics and provide content sharing services to support the Service.
These third parties may also use cookies and similar technologies to collect
similar non-personal information about your use of the Service. Gadgets and tech Product Reviewsdoes not
control the third parties’ use of such technologies and their use is governed
by those parties’ privacy policies. For more information about third-party ad
networks that use these technologies, and to opt-out of their collection of
information, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
HOW WE SHARE YOUR
INFORMATION
PERSONALLY, IDENTIFIABLE
INFORMATION
Gadgets and tech Product Reviews may share your personally identifiable
information with third parties for the purpose of providing the Service to you
or with third parties offering combined services with Gadgets and tech Product Reviews. If we do
this, such third parties’ use of your information will be bound by this Privacy
Policy. We may store personal information in locations outside the direct
control of Gadgets and tech Product
Reviews (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting
providers).
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business
offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the
transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also
transfer or assign such information in the course of corporate divestitures,
mergers, or dissolution.
We may share or disclose your information with your consent, such
as if you choose to sign on to the Service through a third-party service. We
cannot control third parties’ use of your information.
Gadgets and tech Product
Reviews may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or
subpoena or if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law,
regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address
fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect Gadgets and tech Product Reviews’s rights or
property.
NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE
INFORMATION
We may aggregate and/or anonymize information collected through
the Service so that the information does not identify you. We may use
aggregated, anonymized, and other non-personally identifiable information for
any purpose, including for research and marketing purposes, and our use and
disclosure of such information is not subject to any restrictions under this
Privacy Policy.
Gadgets and tech Product
Reviews may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve advertisements
on 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 Gadgets and tech Product Reviews. They
automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use
other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons) to measure the
effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising
content. Gadgets and tech Product
Reviews does not provide any personally identifiable information to these
third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please
note that if an advertiser asks Gadgets
and tech Product Reviews to show an advertisement to a certain audience and you
respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad server may conclude that
you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The Gadgets and tech Product Reviews Privacy
Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, third-party
advertisers. Please consult the respective privacy policies of such advertisers
for more information.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR
INFORMATION
Gadgets and tech Product
Reviews uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical
safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information.
We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to Gadgets and tech Product
Reviews or guarantee that your information on the Service may not be accessed,
disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical,
or managerial safeguards.
In the event that personal information is compromised as a result
of a breach of security, Gadgets and
tech Product Reviews will promptly notify those persons whose personal
information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures
set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
YOUR CHOICES ABOUT YOUR
INFORMATION
You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable
information through the Service, in which case Gadgets and tech Product Reviews may not be able
to provide certain services to you. You may update or correct your account
information and email preferences at any time by logging in to your account.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. Gadgets and tech Product Reviews does not
knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of
13 or knowingly allow such persons to register with the Service. If we become
aware that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13
without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that
information.
LINKS TO OTHER WEB SITES
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites
linked to or from the Service, nor the information or content contained
therein. Please remember that when you use a link to go from the Service to
another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and
interaction on any other website, including those that have a link on our
website, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY
POLICY
If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post
those changes on this page to keep you aware of what information we collect,
how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it. Changes to this
Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
