PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: 12/16/2016

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used and disclosed by Afero, Inc. ("Afero") when you access or use our websites, mobile applications, devices or other products or services (collectively, the "Services"), or when you otherwise interact with us. This policy applies to the information we collect from a third-party device that has integrated Afero technology or is otherwise designed to communicate with the Services ("Third-Party Devices"), but does not apply to the information that the Third-Party Device separately collects independent of our Services. Please refer to the privacy policy of the third party responsible for that device for information about its privacy practices.

We may change this policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will provide notice of such changes by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, provide additional notice such as adding a statement to our webpage or sending a notification.

For information about your choices in connection with any of our information practices described below, please see "Your Choices" below or contact us at legal@afero.io.

Software kits and cookies enable us to collect information about your device identifiers, web browsers used to access the Services, pages or features viewed, time spent on pages, mobile app performance and links clicked. Web beacons (or pixel tags) are electronic images that may be used in our web Services or emails to help deliver cookies, count website visits, understand usage and determine the effectiveness of email marketing campaigns.
