Privacy Policy

Purpose
The purpose of this page is to inform our visitors on the various aspects of our Privacy Policy with respect to our data gathering. Whenever users visit the Mobile2Mobility website we want to assure them that we make every effort to respect their personal privacy. Mobile2Mobility is the sole owner of any information collected. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from that disclosed in this statement.

Website Visitors
Like most websites, Mobile2Mobility collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, and referring site etc. Mobile2Mobility’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use its website.

Use of Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. We uses cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of Mobile2Mobility website, and their website access preferences. Because the cookie is client side, i.e. on users’ hard drive, their privacy is in no way compromised. Users may deactivate cookies in their web browser, or reject the creation of a cookie depending on their personal preferences.

IP Address Information
Mobile2Mobility also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Each time users access information we may record what information is accessed and the IP address used to access the data. An IP address is a unique identifier given to users by their Internet provider when they connect to the Internet. This may differ each time users connect to Internet or be permanently assigned depending on users’ arrangements. We use these addresses to track users’ movements, to analyse broad trends such a geographical location and by such improve our quality of service. Mobile2Mobility does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering and Protection of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Mobile2Mobility choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Mobile2Mobility gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who want to receive our posts in their inbox or subscribe to our newsletter to provide a username and email address. In such cases, Mobile2Mobility collects such information only in so far as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Mobile2Mobility. Mobile2Mobility does not disclose personally-identifying information. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities. Mobile2Mobility will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. If visitors wish to interact with us through an email or via our feedback mechanism, we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to their request or to help us support other users. Mobile2Mobility takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
