The following privacy policy applies to personal data collected at the uTrack Lite or uTrack Pro Mobile Apps or uTrack website (www.uTrackX.com) or other offerings by TenPearls, LLC (collectively, the “Services”). TenPearls and its affiliates (collectively “TenPearls”) are committed to protecting the privacy of its users. Because TenPearls gathers certain types of information about the users of the Services, we believe you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the use of the information we collect. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the Services. If you are using any of the Services through an entity that is a customer of TenPearls, this policy does not supersede the terms of any agreements between TenPearls and any other party. Please make sure that you read the terms of any privacy policies that you enter into with parties other than TenPearls, including Apple, Google, your employer or educational institution, as those policies may also explain how your personal information is used by those parties.
Please review the following statement to understand how the information you provide to TenPearls through the Services will be treated.
1. Information TenPearls collects
You are free to utilize the Services without identifying yourself; however, if you would like to utilize or customize some features of the Services, you may have to register with uTrack App or TenPearls. When you register, we may request certain personal information, including, but not limited to, contact information, such as your name, [city and state], and e-mail address as well as demographic information such as your age, gender and interests. This information better enables us to provide you with content relevant to your interests and provides us with aggregate data that TenPearls uses to improve the Services.
On the TenPearls website, we do use “cookie” technology – this is used to provide you with tailored information from our web site. A cookie is a small text-only file that is stored on your system. By definition, it cannot execute any malicious code or cause any damage to your system. Some pages on our web site use cookies so that we can better serve you when you return to our site – for example, it can “remember” your email address to save you having to enter it manually upon your return. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it.
TenPearls gathers information about all users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and what services users access most often. TenPearls automatically logs IP addresses, session sources, and other data which tracks users’ access to the Services. We analyze these logs for sales and marketing purposes as well as system performance monitoring. These logs are analyzed for the aggregate trends they reveal about our customers and how the customers use the Services, not for the behaviors of individual users.
2. Purposes of Data Collection
TenPearls requests personal information for purposes such as the provision of customer service and support, billing, network management, customer surveys, sales management, support, newsletter subscriptions, user group memberships, event registration and sponsorship, offers of related services, and other exchanges of information.
3. What TenPearls does with the information it collects
The personal information you supply to TenPearls will not be given, sold, rented, loaned, or otherwise disclosed to any third parties outside of TenPearls and its agents, except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with legal process, (ii) enforce the Terms of Use, (iii) respond to claims that any content provided by using the Services violates the rights of third parties, or (iv) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of TenPearls, its users, or the public.
TenPearls may use aggregated personal information to determine the demographic composition of our user base and to distribute statistics and general marketplace information about TenPearls. This aggregate information does not identify specific users.
Certain non-personal information regarding users is recorded by the standard operation of the Internet servers hosting the Services. This information is primarily used to provide users of the Services with an enhanced online experience. TenPearls may disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe the Services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
Some features of the Services may be offered in conjunction with a partner company. In order to provide these features, it may be necessary for either you or us to share your personal information with this company. If you do not want your information to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using that particular feature. Also, please be aware that advertisers or Web sites that are linked to the Services may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those Web sites linked to the Services are not covered by this Privacy Policy and TenPearls is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
TenPearls may use other companies to provide limited services on its behalf, including but not limited to customer support, web analytics, coordination of mailings and event management. These companies are permitted to access only the information they require to perform those services. TenPearls requires these companies to maintain the confidentiality of any personal information and prohibits them from using the information for any other purpose than the purpose for which it was collected
