PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 7/5/2020
Syngin Technology, LLC (“Syngin,” “we,” or “us”) respects and values your privacy. As part of our commitment to using the information that you share with us responsibly, we want you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose information relating to you, your computer, or your device and that enables your identification (“Personal Information”).
This Privacy Policy describes how we process Personal Information about you that we collect through each website, application, or online property operated and controlled by us from which you are accessing this Privacy Policy (the “Products”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that we collect offline, such as over the telephone or in person. By using any of the Products, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
Some parts of the Products may ask you to submit Personal Information in order for you to benefit from the specified features or to participate in a particular activity. For example, you may voluntarily provide Personal Information to us in the following ways:
We may combine Personal Information you submit through the Products with other information we have collected from you, whether on-line or off-line. We treat the combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may also receive Personal Information from our customers and vendors relating to transactions or orders processed or facilitated through the Products. For example, we may receive your name, phone number, or home address if our Products are used to facilitate the transport of cargo to or from your residence.
Through your use of the Products, we may also gather information about your use of the Products that does not identify you directly but may identify your computer or device. Generally, this information is collected through what we refer to in this Privacy Policy as “Traffic Data.” We may collect and store such Traffic Data automatically whenever you interact with the Products. For example, we may collect your IP address, the hostname of your computer or device, browser information and reference site domain name every time you use the Products. We may collect information regarding user traffic patterns and usage of the Products. This Traffic Data does not, however, contain anything that can personally identify you, though it may identify your computer or device. Traffic Data is used to analyze and improve the Products, to provide you with a better experience with the Products, and to show you offers tailored to you.
If you use certain features of the Products, we may collect location data obtained from you, by GPS, IP address, or otherwise. Similarly, if you use our mobile websites, mobile applications, or other smart device applications, we may collect location data obtained from your device according to the location preferences on your device. Certain features and functionality of the Products may not be available to you if you do not authorize access to your location data.
We do not knowingly collect Personal Information through the Products from children under the age of 13. We reserve the right to delete any information identified as having been provided through the Products from children under the age of 13.
We use Personal Information submitted by you or otherwise collected through the Products for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and as otherwise described to you at the point of collection. Generally, we use the information you provide for the reason for which it was provided. For example, if you contact us by e-mail, we will use the Personal Information you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem and will respond to the email address from which the contact came. We may also use Personal Information about you as specifically described below:
We may use non-personal information or aggregate information that does not identify an individual without restriction, and we may share such information with third parties.
We may share your Personal Information only as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise described to you at the point of collection.
§ under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence;
§ to comply with legal process;
§ to respond to requests from public and government authorities, including public and government authorities outside your country of residence;
§ to enforce our terms and conditions;
§ to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates;
§ to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others; and
§ to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.
f. Passively Collected Information: We may share Traffic Data that does not identify you directly, but may identify your computer or device, as described in Sections 4 of this Privacy Policy.
g. Comments and Forums: If you provide Personal Information through the Products in comments to a blog or in a testimonial, this information will be publicly available to anyone using the Products.
· COOKIES AND OTHER PASSIVE COLLECTION TECHNOLOGIES
As you navigate the Products, certain Traffic Data may be passively collected, meaning it is gathered without your actively providing it. This is done using the following technologies in the following ways:
a. Through your browser: Certain information is collected by most browsers, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type and operating system type and version screen resolution, and Internet browser type and version.
b. Through your device: If you access the Products through a mobile device or other network-connected product, certain information may be collected about that device, including your device type, network service provider, and other identifiers. We may collect unique device identifiers (such as IDFA and AID tags and UUID and UDID identifiers) associated with the devices you use to access the Products.
c. Using cookies: Like many companies, our Products may use “cookies” to help make sure the Products is meeting the needs of its users and to help us make improvements. Cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer’s hard drive when you visit certain websites. We may use cookies set by us on the Products to tell us, for example, whether you have visited us before or if you are a new visitor. You can refuse our use of some or all cookies by turning off the use of cookies in your web browser. If you use your browser settings to block all types of cookies you may not be able to access all or parts of our Products or functionality may be limited. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. Changing your internet browser settings can prevent the use of cookies. Each browser has a different procedure for disabling the use of cookies. The Help function within your browser should tell you how. Alternatively, you may visit http://www.aboutcookies.org where you can review information on how to control cookies on a variety of browsers.
d. Using Monitoring Tools: Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”) to better tailor the Products in order to provide a better service. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has used or accessed our Products. These technologies usually work in conjunction with cookies. To disable cookies used on our Products, and therefore any other tracking technologies that work in conjunction with these cookies, please follow the instructions below.
e. IP Address: Your IP Address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider. An IP Address is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user uses or accesses the Products, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many online service providers, including website operators. We use IP Addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, and administering the Products.
f. Do Not Track Signals: Our Products currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals and operate as described in this Privacy Policy, whether or not a DNT signal is received.
Although our use of passive collection technologies may change over time as technology evolves, the above descriptions are designed to provide you with additional detail about our current approach to information collected from passive technologies.
