SMARTCharts Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy was last updated on May 4, 2023.
Overview
SMARTCharts ("SMARTCharts”, "we", "us" or “our”) operates the web sites (each a “Site” and collectively the “Sites”) and applications/apps (each an “App” and collectively the “Apps”), referred to collectively as the "Platform". This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) governs the collection, use, maintenance, protection, and disclosure of information that you may provide when you download, register with, access, or use the Platform.
​
This Policy describes:
-
The types of information we may collect from you when you use the Platform.
-
How we use and protect that information.
-
Your options for accessing and updating your information.
-
How we may disclose information to third parties.
Please note that this Policy applies only to information we collect on or through the Platform. It does not apply to information collected offline or by third parties who may have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to read those policies before providing your information to them.
We encourage you to read this Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information. By using the Platform, you agree to be bound by this Policy. If you do not accept the terms of this Policy, you may not access or use the Platform.
We may update this Policy from time to time, and your continued use of the Platform after any changes means you accept those changes. Please check this Policy periodically for updates.
How We Collect Information
We collect information from you in two ways:
-
Directly from you when you provide it to us.
-
Automatically when you use the Platform.
Information You Provide Directly to Us
When you download, register with, access, or use any aspect of the Platform, we may ask you to provide personal information such as your name, postal address, email address, and telephone number. We may also collect payment information, such as credit card information, to process transactions through the Platform.
You may provide this information in a variety of ways, including by filling in forms on the Platform, corresponding with us via email or phone, participating in surveys, and performing search queries on the Platform.
If you choose to post or display any User Contributions on public areas of the Platform or websites you access through the Platform, your User Contributions will be posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. Please note that we cannot control the actions of third parties who may view or share your User Contributions, so we cannot guarantee that they will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.
Information Collected and Technologies Used for it
We may collect various information from you when you use the Platform. This may include details about your usage of the Platform such as traffic data, location data, logs, and other communication data, as well as information about your mobile device and internet connection such as its unique device identifier, IP address, operating system, browser type, mobile network information, and telephone number. Additionally, the Platform may access metadata and other information associated with files stored on your device, including photographs, audio and video clips, personal contacts, and address book information.
Please note that if you do not want us to collect this information, you can choose not to use the Platform. For further details, please refer to the "Your Choices About Our Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Your Information" section below.
SMARTCharts may use cookies (or mobile cookies) and web beacons to automatically collect information. Cookies are small files placed on your smartphone, and you may be able to refuse them by adjusting your smartphone settings. Web beacons are electronic files that allow SMARTCharts to count users who have visited certain pages or opened emails.
Third-Party Collection of Information
When you use the SMARTCharts platform, certain third parties may use automatic information collection technologies to gather information about you or your device. These third parties include advertisers, ad networks, and ad servers, analytics companies, your mobile device manufacturer, and your mobile service provider. These third parties may use tracking technologies to collect information about you while you use the platform, and the information collected may be linked to your personal information or collected information about your online activities across different websites, apps, and other online services. They may utilize this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.
​
SMARTCharts does not control the use of these third parties' tracking technologies or how they collect and utilize your information. If you have any questions about targeted content or advertising, you should contact the responsible provider directly.
Payments Processing: SMARTCharts may offer paid products and/or services on the platform, and in such cases, third-party services for payments processing (such as payment processors) may be utilized. SMARTCharts itself will not store or collect any of your payment card information. Instead, you will provide that information directly to our third-party payment processors, whose use of your personal information for such purposes is governed by their privacy policy. These payment processors are required to adhere to the standards set by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of major brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Compliance with PCI-DSS standards ensures that payment information is handled securely.
Other Sites: SMARTCharts may contain links to other sites and applications that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site or app. We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policy of every site or app you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites, apps, or services that are linked from our platform.
