In connection with the provision of the WiFitics Services, WiFitics may gather and process information from you, including the following types of information:
Our reasons for collecting information relating to you or your Device are to enable WiFitics (or sometimes other data processors selected by WiFitics) to provide the WiFitics Services through the WiFitics application or other applications provided by WiFitics to you in an effective and satisfactory way, as follows:
WiFitics stores the personal information in different data files kept on servers based in India. WiFitics will take all reasonable measures to ensure security of the data, including where such servers may be operated by third party data processors under WiFitics’s responsibility.
If we provide a method for you to invite friends to join WiFitics, then their contact information will be used for the purposes of automatically generating a message to these potential WiFitics users.
If we process data regarding the location of your Device then (i) in case of services such as allowing location requests from your WiFitics contacts, you will be able to switch this functionality on or off at any time within the WiFitics Services, and (ii) where this is used in order to provide advertising appropriate to your locality then we may provide this to our third party advertising partners but never in a form that you will be able to be identified from this data; and your acceptance of this privacy statement constitutes consent for this processing.
WiFitics does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise transfer any personal information you provide to WiFitics to any third party without your express permission (unless it is obliged to do so under applicable laws or by order of the competent authorities) except as set out in this Statement.
WiFitics needs to provide certain information to third parties who assist WiFitics in providing elements of the WiFitics Services. So, for example, WiFitics may need to provide your mobile number to an SMS provider in order to contact you or verify your phone number. Under their contracts with WiFitics they are required to store and process your information in accordance with similar standards of protection of your data as applied by WiFitics.
If gov authority lawfully requests WiFitics or one of WiFitics’s partners to retain and provide personal information, communications content and/or communications or technical data, or permit monitoring or interception, WiFitics and/or its partner may comply with that request without being obliged to inform you.
WiFitics operates internationally and may transfer the data for processing in different countries, including by WiFitics group companies, outside of your home country.
In order to use most of the WiFitics Services, you will need to install the relevant software on your Device. This software enables you to make and receive communications using your mobile network or WiFi network or the internet and sends the necessary communications data, and other data that you define (e.g., profile or status updates, community log-in data) between your Device and the network.
In addition, for web-based WiFitics Services, “cookies” may be used. Cookies are pieces of information stored on your Device in order to enable web-based applications to recognize who you are or your preferences (e.g., what language version of the Website you usually use) and provide WiFitics with information about the use of its Websites).
Most internet browsers allow you to prevent your Device from accepting or using cookies or require your permission each time a cookie is received. Please note that some personalized WiFitics Services may not be available if you choose to disable cookies.
Advertisements appearing on WiFitics Services or Websites may be provided by WiFitics’s advertising partners who may use cookies, web beacons, and/or other monitoring technologies to compile anonymous statistics. The information obtained in this way (e.g., how many times the Website is visited, how many times you see a particular advert) is used to deliver adverts to you. In addition, we may use profile information about you (e.g., your gender, age or pastimes) to provide advertisements that are more likely to be of interest to you, including by combining with other available information about you. We may share your information with advertisers or other third parties that assist us with these types of services, when we have either removed from it anything that personally identifies you, or encoded or combined it with other information so that it no longer personally identifies you.
Your user profile is the information you decide to provide when you create or manage your WiFitics Services account (e.g., your WiFitics user ID, full name, address, telephone numbers, gender, date of birth, language, status, photo, and any other information that you decide to make available). WiFitics stores your user profile centrally on a secure server. This information is also visible to other WiFitics users. You control your user profile and decide what (if anything) to make public. You can access your user profile within the WiFitics Services in order to access, change, correct, complete or remove information. WiFitics may remove unsuitable or illegal material at any time from your profile or other postings in accordance with the Terms of Use.
WiFitics Websites and WiFitics Services may contain links that will let you access Third Party Services such as another website, platform or application. Third Party Services are outside WiFitics’s control and not covered by this Privacy Statement. WiFitics accepts no responsibility or liability for Third Party Services. You should take care before providing any personal information to anyone and in these cases especially to review the applicable privacy statements or policies.
Certain WiFitics Services use the Google Places service provided by Google, Inc. When you use these services then you also agree to the Google Privacy Policy as set out at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
If you choose to connect one or more of your Third Party Services profiles to WiFitics we will be able to access the profiles of your connections and improve the matches and search functions within our database. This is entirely optional for you and if you have enabled such a connection you can choose to disconnect it at any time.
Remember that use of Third Party Services may in addition be subject to your signing up for an account with and accepting the terms and conditions of the relevant third party, including provisions relating to processing of personal data, which may differ from WiFitics’s policies and for which WiFitics is not responsible. You can view, manage and block the third party services that use your WiFitics ID by logging into your WiFitics profile at any time. If your WiFitics friends sign up for third party services using WiFitics, then the information they share may include your WiFitics ID so that they can also connect with you on the third party service.
WiFitics takes appropriate organizational and technical measures to protect the personal information and communications data provided to them or collected by them. For example, your personal and communications data can only be accessed by authorized WiFitics staff that need to have access to this data in order for their work.
WiFitics takes technical measures to protect the confidentiality of the content of communications sent over the WiFitics Services, subject to all applicable obligations and exceptions under applicable law.
WiFitics may contact you to notify you of issues and faults with the WiFitics Services, and if you are considered to have breached any of the terms of your Agreement with WiFitics or if another person makes a complaint about your use of the WiFitics Services (e.g., a claim that you have infringed their rights in some way).
WiFitics may also use email, SMS or the WiFitics Services to keep you up to date with news about the WiFitics Services that you use and/or other WiFitics Services unless you have opted out of receiving this information.

The modified Privacy Statement will become effective thirty days from such publication or notification, unless you expressly accept the modified Privacy Statement earlier.

You have the right to access and, if necessary, to rectify your personal information. To exercise your right to view, correct, complete or remove your personal information, please contact WiFitics at support@wifitics.com. After verifying your identity and provided your request is legal, within a reasonable period of time WiFitics will fulfil your request.

You can exercise your right to prevent further processing of your personal information by contacting WiFitics at support@wifitics.com.
Also if you are not a WiFitics user and find that another person has provided us with your details then you always have the right to access, rectify or ask us to stop processing your data.
WiFitics will retain your information for as long as is necessary to carry out any of the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement and comply with applicable legislation, and any applicable orders of regulatory bodies or courts.
