Information Collection and Use
CloudOn believes in transparently providing users, customers and clients with information on how we treat information that we receive from you. Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve the CloudOn Services, and any features and/or content offered therein, and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the CloudOn Services.
Identifying or Personal Information
In the course of using the CloudOn Services, you may provide us with personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”).
The Personal Information we collect is described below:
Registration Information. When you register to use the CloudOn Services, we will collect certain Personal Information, such as your name, email address and postal address. You may register directly via the CloudOn Services or by logging into your account with certain Third Party Accounts via the CloudOn Services, as described herein. If you decide to register through a Third Party Account, we will extract the personal information you have provided to the Third Party Account (such as your “real” name, email address and other information you make publicly available via the Third Party Account) from the account you have with the applicable Third Party Account and use that information to create your Account. The specific information that we extract may depend on the privacy settings you have with the Third Party Account. You hereby consent to our access to and collection of such Personal Information about you. You agree to provide accurate and complete Registration Data, and you agree to keep your Registration Data accurate and complete.
This Personal Information will only be used to authenticate and identify you for the use of the CloudOn Services and to provide CloudOn Services features that will benefit you. We may also contact you regarding the CloudOn Services and any important changes made to them as may be required. In some cases, if we want to send you communications about new features to the CloudOn Services, you will have the option to opt-in to such communications. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications.
Payment Information. The following may be collected if you are required to pay for the CloudOn Services: credit card information, billing information, and other related payment information. This information will only be used to allow payment for the CloudOn Services as per the service level chosen by you.
In addition to the above we may also use Personal Information:
- To help us develop, deliver, and improve the CloudOn Services, Content and advertising;
- To provide Application updates and/or product announcements;
- To send important notices from time to time, such as communications about purchases and changes to our Terms and Privacy Policy. Because this information is important to your interaction with CloudOn, you may not-opt out of receiving these communications;
- For internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve the CloudOn Services and customer communications;
- If you enter into a sweepstakes, contest, or similar promotion, we may use the information you provide to administer those programs; and
- To contact you with CloudOn newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or update your “user preferences” information. (See “Control of Personal Information” below.)
Non-Identifying or Non-Personal Information
- We also collect other information that you provide as you use the CloudOn Services (e.g., without limitation, zip code, occupation, language and individual preferences) (“Non-Identifying Information”).
- We use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non-Identifying Information) mainly to provide the CloudOn Services and administer your inquiries.
- When you download and use the Application, we may collect the following Non-Identifying Information with your permission: (i) mobile device type, device identification code and device properties; and (ii) geographical data.
- Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other Non-Identifying Information (for example, your viewing preferences). We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other users to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the CloudOn Services and to analyze and understand how our Site, Application and CloudOn Services are used.

Second, we use other technology to enable certain features of the CloudOn Services, to better understand how you interact with the CloudOn Services, and to monitor aggregate usage by CloudOn users and web traffic routing on or through the CloudOn Services. If you do not want this information collected, you may cease using the CloudOn Services and delete the Application.

CloudOn may also use this information in connection with marketing our CloudOn Services.
