We may update this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended version on this site including the effective date of the amended version. We will communicate any material changes to this Privacy Policy via email.

This Policy is current as of the Effective Date set forth above. Please note that we may change this Policy from time to time and will post any such changes to this Policy on the Sites. Therefore, it is important to view the Policy periodically. If we make any changes to this Policy that materially affect our practices, we will endeavor to provide you with notice in advance of such change by highlighting the change on our Sites or if you have an account with us, providing notice to the email address in your account (for this reason you should make sure to update your account information promptly if it changes).

 

The Information We Collect About You

We collect information about you directly from you and from third parties, as well as automatically through your use of our Sites or App.

 

Information We Collect Directly From You.

You may browse certain areas of the Sites without registering with us or providing us personal information. If you complete our registration form on the Sites, we will collect your name and email address. If you create an account on the Sites, we will collect your name, date of birth, gender, citizenship information, address, telephone number and a copy of your passport or identification card. To verify your identity, images of your form of identification will be collected by a third party on our behalf and will be stored on their systems. We may request your social security number / national identity number and obtain a copy of your credit history or credit reports from credit reporting agencies in order to provide access to certain of our services. If you download the App, we will collect at a minimum your name, email address, mobile telephone number and user name. If you purchase ACDX tokens (“Tokens”) in the Token Sale, we will collect your Ethereum EIP-20 wallet address or any other compatible wallet address as required to participate in the Token Sale. We may require certain personal identification information for the purpose of complying with know-your-customer and anti-money laundering (“KYC/AML”) obligations, including regulations implemented by governmental authorities. Know-your-customer information may include, but is not limited to, your name, address, date of birth, passport and copies of utility bills or other identifying documents and additional financial information related to your accredited investor status.

 

You may be able to access the Sites or App through your social media accounts, such as Facebook and Google. If you access the Sites or App using a social media account, the account will ask your permission to share certain information with us. This may include your first name, last name, social media identifier, age, birthday, gender, locale, timezone and email address. This also may allow us to obtain information from those accounts (such as your friends or contacts). The information we obtain from social media accounts often depends on your settings in the social media platform or the social media platform’s privacy policies, so be sure to check them. For example, any information collected by Facebook or Google is provided to us under the terms of their respective privacy policies. You are responsible for keeping your account login credentials, including any social media login credentials, confidential. You should not share such login credential with any other person as you are responsible for all activity on your account. You will immediately notify us if you are aware or suspect any unauthorized use of your account.

We may automatically collect the following information about your use of our Sites or App or participation in the Token Sale through cookies and other technologies: your domain name; your browser type and operating system; web pages you view; links you click; your IP address and geo-location data; your mobile device ID; the length of time you visit our Sites or App; the referring URL, or the webpage that led you to our Sites; and the quantity of Tokens purchased in the Token Sale.

Geolocation.

If you have provided permission through your mobile device to allow us to collect location information through the App, we may obtain your physical location information from technologies like GPS, Wi-Fi, or cell tower proximity. The App may use the geo-location features of the App (GPS or network-based) and geo-location information that is collected through the App and your mobile device, to track your location and provide you information regarding the physical world around you. You are able to withdraw your permission for us to acquire such physical location information from your mobile device through your mobile device settings, although we do not control this process. If you have questions about how to disable your mobile device's location services, we recommend you contact your mobile device service provider or the mobile device manufacturer.

Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms

We and our third party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Sites and App. 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).

 

Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies), but such disabling will impair use of the Sites and App.

 

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 Sites and App, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Sites and App. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

 

• Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Sites. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Sites.
• Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity.

 

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 portion 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 our Sites who disable cookies will not be able to browse certain areas of the Sites or use the App.

 

Third Party Analytics

We may use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Sites and App. We may use these tools to help us improve our Sites, App, performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. We do not share your personal information with these third parties unless we have your prior consent to do so.

 

Security of My Personal Information

We have implemented commercially reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security.

 

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, mobile device, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

If you access the Sites or App from outside the European Union, you consent to the transfer, processing and storage of your personal information in and to the European Union, which may provide protection for your personal information that varies from the protection provided by the jurisdiction in which you reside.
