General
This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") concerns CUBECLOUD and you, as a user of the Site.
This Policy describes how we use the information we receive about you when you visit our Site or subscribe to or otherwise use our online services. This Policy does not cover any information we may receive about you through channels other than the Site.
Amendments to this Policy
The last modified date for this Policy is shown above. We reserve the right to modify, amend or revise this Policy and our other policies and agreements at any time and in any manner. We will post any updates to this Policy on our Site. You should periodically check this Policy for any modifications by revisiting this web page. If we make any changes to this Policy that materially affect our practices with respect to the personal information we have previously collected from you, we will endeavor to provide you with notice in advance by highlighting such change on our Site.
Information We Collect
Visitors to our Site and services interact with us in a variety of ways. Depending on your level of interaction, we will collect different information about you. We collect information about you directly from you and from third parties, as well as automatically through your use of our Site. The types of information we collect are as follows:
Members — Members who subscribe to our services will be prompted to provide their name, address, age, telephone number and any other billing information as necessary.
All Site Users and Visitors — We automatically collect the following information from all users and visitors through cookies, web beacons and other technologies: your domain name; your browser type and operating system; the web pages you view; the links you click; your IP address; the length of time you visit or use our Site; and the referring URL, or the web page that led you to our Site. We may combine this information with other information we have collected about you, including, where applicable, your username, name and other personal information. For more information, please see the "Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms We Use" section below.
Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms We Use
We and our third-party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms, including tracking mechanisms designed for mobile applications, to track information about your use of our Site. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our third-party service providers may do so on our behalf).
Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities on our Site and services, including for online advertising purposes.
Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The "Help" section of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to the Site who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function properly.
Clear GIFs, Pixel Tags and Other Technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a computer's hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded in web pages. We may use clear GIFs (also known as web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags) in the Site to, among other things, track the activities of Site visitors and users, help us manage content and compile statistics about Site usage. We and our third-party service providers may also use clear GIFs in HTML e-mails to our customers, to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed and track whether our e-mails are forwarded.
Third-Party Analytics. We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site. We may also use other analytic means to evaluate our Site. We use these tools to help us improve our services, performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. To learn more about Google's privacy practices, please review the Google policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. You can also download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from using your data at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Third-Party Ad Networks. We may work with third-party ad networks to display advertising on other websites that is tailored to your interests. These ad networks may use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your browsing activities across different websites. You may opt out of receiving targeted advertising through the opt-out page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ or the opt-out page of the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://optout.aboutads.info/. If you opt out, you may still see advertising, but it will no longer be tailored to your interests.
Do Not Track. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser "Do Not Track" requests. You can, however, disable some of the tracking described in this section (for example, by disabling cookies), and you can also opt out of receiving targeted advertising as described above under "Third-Party Ad Networks."

How We Disclose Your Information
We may share your information, including personal information, as follows:
Affiliates. We may disclose the information we collect from you to our affiliates or subsidiaries; however, if we do so, their use and disclosure of your personal information will be subject to this Policy.
Service Providers. We may disclose the information we collect from you to third-party vendors, digital wallet companies, service providers, contractors or agents who perform functions on our behalf.
We also disclose information in the following circumstances:

Retention of Information
We retain information such as your account information, access logs and transaction records in order to provide our services to you, perform our contracts, satisfy compliance requirements and cooperate with the lawful requirements of law enforcement agencies and courts.
Security of Your Information
We have implemented reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. For example, we take measures, including data encryption, to protect the transmission of sensitive end-user information. However, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this information. We take reasonable measures to prevent such security breaches, but given the resourcefulness of cybercriminals, we cannot guarantee that our security measures are one hundred percent impenetrable. You assume the risk of such security breaches, even where they occur notwithstanding our reasonable security measures.
