This privacy policy describes in detail the types of personal information Connecta Mobile collects, uses, and discloses when you use our Products and Services or visit our websites and related pages at https://connectamobile.com/privacy-policy/, or supply information to us or our partners, affiliates, licensors, or suppliers, or otherwise communicate with us. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Connecta Mobile Customer Agreement.
    • Information Connecta Mobile collects:
      • “User Personal Information” is any information about any Authorized User which could, alone or together with other information, personally identify them or otherwise be reasonably linked or connected with them. Information such as a username and password, an email address, a real name, an Internet protocol (IP) address, and a photograph are examples of “User Personal Information.” User Personal Information does not include aggregated, non-personally identifying information that does not identify an Authorized User or cannot otherwise be reasonably linked or connected with them. Connecta Mobile may use such aggregated, non-personally identifying information for research purposes and to operate, analyze, improve, and optimize our Service.
      • If you choose to register on our websites, Connecta Mobile may require some basic information such as your name, a valid email address and phone number, optional demographic information, and your approximate location.
      • Other personal data may be collected with your consent directly or via our websites. Information collected via the websites may include your responses to our marketing communications or actions performed on web pages. For example, the actions performed on our websites may include information related to file downloads or filled forms.
      • When you place an order for Products or Services through our websites or through a partner Connecta Mobile may collect your name, a valid email address, phone number, billing information, and shipping information.
      • If you are accessing our websites, Connecta Mobile automatically collects the same basic information that most service providers collect, subject, where necessary, to your consent. This includes information about how you use the website, the referring site, your IP address and session information, and the date and time of each request. This is information Connecta Mobile collects from every visitor to the website, whether they have an account or not. This information may include User Personal information.
      • Connecta Mobile automatically collects information from cookies (such as cookie ID and settings) to keep you logged in, to remember your preferences, to identify you and your device and to analyze and improve our Services. By using our Service, you agree that we can place cookies on your device for these purposes.

    • Connecta Mobile will not store or collect your payment card details unless you have opted into automatic payments. That information is provided directly to our third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy.
