At Oogway, privacy is always a top priority for us and we are firmly committed to guarding the confidence you have placed in us and to use, responsibly and professionally, any information you provide. We won’t ask you for personal information unless we feel it is necessary to provide our Service, and we won’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products and services, or protect our rights. And we will never rent or sell personal information to any third party. 

This Privacy Policy applies to transactions and activities and data gathered through our service and mobile application (collectively the “Service”). The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to notify you of what information of yours is collected; how the information is used; with whom the information may be shared; what choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the Information what kind of security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of Information under our control; and how you can correct any inaccuracies in the information. 

We may choose to update this Privacy Policy at any time by providing an email notice to you. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically, as your continued use of the Service will mean you accept those changes, whether you have read them or not.

Please note that this Privacy Policy is a legally binding agreement made between you ("you," "your," or "yourself") and Oogway Technologies Corp. ("Provider” "we," "us" or "our"). This Privacy Policy is governed by, and part of, the Terms of Use.

1. Your Information

In order to operate the Service, and to provide you with information about products or services that may be of interest to you, we may collect (a) "personal information" (i.e. information that could be used to contact you directly, such as your name, such as your full name, email address, date of birth, gender,  personal preferences, social media profile links (if any) and username; (b) “geo-locational data” (i.e. information that can be used to identify your physical location); (c) “meta-data” (i.e. information which describes how, when and by whom a particular set of data was collected, and how the data is formatted; and (d) log file information (i.e. information which is automatically reported by your browser each time you make a request to visit a web page such as your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Service, pages viewed, and other similar information. Collectively, this information is called “your Information”.

2. Information Transfer

We do not sell or rent your Information to third parties without your consent. We view protection of privacy as a critical community principle. We understand clearly that your information and your trust is one of our most important assets. If we ever change how we use your Information, we will notify you with an email notice. We store and process your information on computers that are protected by physical as well as technological security devices. 

We rely on third party service providers to support or provide services for us in connection with your use of the Service, such as communications and hosting, security and fraud prevention, technical and customer support, tracking and reporting usage of the Service, quality assurance testing, marketing, and other functions. We share information from or about you with these third party providers so that they can perform their services or complete your requests. 

We may share aggregate information about our users that does not identify you personally, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Service and using other data analytics tools. Please note that, while the aggregate data we provide will not identify you personally, in some instances third parties may be able to “de-anonymize” aggregate data to identify you personally based on additional information they have about you or that they receive from third parties.  While we do not intend for third parties to de-anonymize the aggregate data we provide, if you are concerned about potentially being personally identified, you should not use the Service.

In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy subsidiaries, or business units.  In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to applicable data protection laws and the terms  in any  privacy policy  then current at the time the transaction closes.  Also, in the unlikely event that we, or substantially all of our assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Any third party with whom we are allowed to share your personal information is authorized to use your personal information in accordance with our contractual arrangements with such third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions. Those who contact you will need to be instructed directly by you regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by them.

3. Material you Choose to Reveal

Your contributions to the Service are intended for public consumption and are therefore viewable by the public, including your photos, ratings, reviews, comments, and account profile. You may post information, including personal information, on areas of the Service that may be viewed by other users.  We urge you to use good judgment. Other users may be able to identify you, or associate you with your account, if you include personal information in the Content you post publicly. Do not post any information, including without limitation, personal information, that you do not want other users to know.  Many internet connections are public and/or not secure, and other users using that same connection may have access to your information; please make sure that you are using a secure internet connection.

Please also note that the messages you send or receive using the Service are only private to the extent that both you and the recipient(s) of your messages keep them private. For example, if you send a message to another user, that user may choose to publicly post it. We may access, review, and disclose such messages in connection with investigations related to use of the Service, as well as our efforts to improve the Service.

You can invite others to join our Service by providing us with their contact information, or by allowing us to access contacts from your computer, mobile device, or third party sites to select which individuals you want to invite. If you allow us to access your contacts, we will transmit information about your contacts to our servers long enough to process your invitations.

When you register for an account or use certain features, you are opting to receive messages from other users, businesses, and us.  We may also track your actions in response to the messages you receive from us or through the Service, such as whether you deleted, opened, or forwarded such messages, and share that information with other parties to your messages (for example, to let them know if you have viewed their message). If you exchange messages with others through the Service, we may store them in order to process and deliver them, allow you to manage them, and we may review and disclose them in connection with investigations related to use of the Service, as well as our efforts to improve the Service. We may not deliver messages that we believe are objectionable, such as spam messages, fraudulent solicitations, or requests to exchange reviews for compensation. If you send or receive messages through the Service via SMS text message, we may log phone numbers, phone carriers, and the date and time that the messages were processed. Carriers may charge recipients for texts that they receive. We may also store information that you provide through communications to us, including from phone calls, letters, emails and other electronic messages, or in person.

If you initiate a transaction through the Service, such as a reservation or buying, we will collect and store information you provide associated with your transaction, such as your name, phone number, address, email, and payment information, as well as any other information you provide, in order to process your transaction, send communications about the transaction to you, and facilitate future transactions. This information may be shared with third parties, and third parties may share such information with us, for the same purposes. When you submit credit card numbers and other sensitive payment information, that information is encrypted using industry standard technology. If you write reviews about businesses with which you transact through the Service, we may publicly display the fact that you transacted with those businesses in connection with such reviews. For example, if you make a dining reservation through the Service and later write a review about your experience, we may publicly display the fact that you made your reservation through the Service.

You may access the Service through different devices (e.g., your mobile phone or personal computer) and different platforms (e.g., our website or our mobile app). The information that we collect and store through those different uses may be cross-referenced and combined.

YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF PRIVACY OR OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM YOUR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.

• Analytics: Intended to help us understand how visitors use the Service. For example, we use a Cookie that tells us how our search suggestions correlate to your interactions with the search page.
  

You can set some Cookie preferences through your device or browser settings, but doing so may affect the functionality of the Service. The method for disabling Cookies may vary by device and browser, but can usually be found in your device or browser preferences or security settings.

Please note that changing any of these settings does not prevent the display of certain advertisements to you.
