This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains what information Azolafam (“the App”, “we”, “us”) collects, how we use and store it and your choices regarding the collection and use of information in connection with our website, products, services and application (“Services”). This Policy applies to all of our Services unless specified otherwise.

How We Collect Your Information

  • Information you provide us directly or indirectly — When you sign up or register to use the App, we will ask for certain information such as your name, e-mail address, phone number, pictures and any other necessary information. You can also voluntarily connect other third party accounts, and we may use information from those accounts to improve your experience, in line with any applicable privacy policy. We may also retain any pictures you upload on the App, and may collect information you provide in content you publish, submit, upload, transmit, or otherwise make available, such as pictures or information, photos, images, music, videos, information, comments, questions, messages, works of authorship and other content or information, as well as associated metadata (“User Content”). If you sign up for our mailing list, we may use this information to operate, maintain and provide to you the features and functionality of our service.
  • Analytics information — To measure our traffic and usage trends, we may directly collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools to collect information including the web pages you visit, your browser add-ons, your browser‘s width and height, and other information that assists us in improving our Service.
  • Third Party Information — If you access the App through a third-party connection or log-in, we may receive information from you from the third party. This information would include, but may not be limited to, information that you have made public with the third party, or have permitted the third party to share with us. At any point in time, you may always review or adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting to the App.
  • Metadata — We may collect metadata associated with User Content. This makes your data more searchable and more interactive. Users can add metadata to their User Content including keywords posted with a photo or video, including names, geographical or location information, comments or other data. The metadata may be accessible to others if you share the User Content with others or on third party social media sites.
  • Cookies — We use cookies to identify you, customize and improve our services. Cookies are small text files that enable us to tag your device and recognize it on the App‘s website. While your browser may automatically accept cookies, some can be modified to decline cookies or alert you when a website wants to place a cookie on your computer. If you do choose to disable cookies, it may limit your ability to use our website. Cookies allow our servers to remember IP addresses, date and time of visits, monitor web traffic and prevent fraudulent activities.
  • Log file information — When you use the App, our servers automatically record certain log file information. These server logs may include anonymous information such as your web request, landing pages, pages viewed, IP address, browser type and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the App and other such information.
  • Device Information — We may collect information about your device when you use the App, and this is called a device identifier‘. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device‘s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by the App. A device identifier may convey information to us about how you browse and use the Service. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

  • Adverts — We may permit third party online advertising networks to collect information about your use of our website over time so that they may play or display adverts that may be relevant to your interests on other websites or services.
