Mindr Mobile welcomes your comments regarding this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns or if you wish to review or edit your personal information, please contact us by e-mail at privacy@mindrmobile.com.
What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
In your dealings with Mindr Mobile you may provide us with personal information. Personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy means any information about an identifiable individual that we collect in relation to the Service or its use, but does not include the name, title or business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization. This policy does not apply to the practices of entities that we do not own or control.
No information from Minors
If you are a minor less than 13 years old, please do not register for Mindr Mobile or provide any personal information about yourself to us. If you are less than 16 years old do not provide any personal health information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information including personal health information from a minor without the appropriate consent, we will delete that information. If you are a parent of a minor, you may provide us with personal information including personal health information about the minor, or permit us to collect information directly from the minor (if he or she is at least 13 years old), to use as part of the Service and we will treat it under this Privacy Policy. Do not provide us with any personal information including any personal health information unless you are not a minor or your parent or other person who is lawfully entitled to give consent on your behalf has consented to your doing so.
What Personal information Does Mindr Mobile Collect?
Personal information You Provide.
We collect reasonable information necessary to provide the Service. We collect personal information you provide while registering for or interacting with our Service or otherwise provide to us in any other way. The types of personal information collected may include your name, user name, phone number, address, electronic addresses including email, instant messaging, and SMS addresses, photos, date of birth and activity plans. It may also include personal health information such as medical and health information, physician and insurance information, and locations, information about emergencies and incidents and contact details of your friends, family and responders.
Information we collect when you interact with Mindr Mobile.
We collect personal information of the actions taken while using or interacting with the Services such as adding friends, family members or responders or information related to emergencies and incidents and communications that occur during and after such events. When you use the Service, we automatically collect information from your browser or mobile platform including your browser type, location, IP address, as well as the pages you visit. We may retain the details of transactions or payments you make on or related to the Services.
Cookies and Web Beacons.
We may use “cookies” (small pieces of data we store on your computer, mobile phone, or other device) to make Mindr Mobile easier to use, and to protect both you and Mindr Mobile. For example, we may use cookies to store your login ID to make it easier for you to login whenever you want to use the Services. We also use them to confirm that you are logged into the Services, and to know when you are interacting with them. You can remove or block browser cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use Mindr Mobile. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with our Services. The information collected and how it is used is described at http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
Certain pages on our site may contain ‘web beacons’ (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs). A web beacon is an electronic image placed on a web page that can serve many of the same purposes that cookies serve, such as recording the pages you visit using our Services or to track the traffic patterns of users from one page to another. Web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party. We use log files to store the data that is collected through web beacons. We also use third party web beacons to help manage online advertising.
With both cookies and web beacon technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address.

Information you provide to the Services will be used, made available to others, and otherwise handled for these purposes.
Inviting family, friends and responders to join: When you ask us to invite a friend, family member, or other responder to join Mindr Mobile, we may send such person a message on your behalf using your name and contact details. We may also send reminders to them in your name.

We may also share personal information with other potential responders in the case of, or to help prepare for possible, emergencies including organizations to which you are or have been affiliated who agree to work with us in connection with the Services. Unless we provide you with information to the contrary, our service providers do not have any right to use personal information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. When this occurs we implement contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to helping us provide the Services and to protect your personal information.
Location of data: To be able to provide the Services, your personal information may be handled by or on our behalf both inside Canada and the United States by third party service providers or by our affiliates.

Compliance with laws: We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with laws including to comply with subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters), or enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Mindr Mobile, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. We may also use a variety of technological systems to detect and address anomalous activity and screen content to prevent abuse such as spam. These efforts may on occasion result in a temporary or permanent suspension or termination of some functions for some users. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, we may retain personal information to comply with applicable law or as necessary in connection with legal proceedings.
Non-Personal information: For clarity, we may share non-personal information such as aggregated non-identifying information to third parties. Our Service may automatically collect usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our site and users who use our Service. We use this information in aggregate form and not in a manner that would identify you personally.

Certain personal information may be made available to third party developers that connect with our Service using our Application Programming Interfaces (‘APIs’). If you use third party applications developed by such third parties that access your personal information through our APIs, you consent to our sharing personal information with such third parties through our APIs and the use of your Personal information by such third parties will be subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of such third party developers.
Sales or change of control: If the ownership of all or a substantial part of our business changes, we may transfer your information to a new owner so that the Service can continue to operate. In such a case, your information would remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, unless you otherwise consent to the terms of a new or different policy.
