Personally Identifiable Information We Collect and The Purposes For Which We Use It
When you register with us through the Site or Applications to become a Member of Ayetu, we may ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Information"). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, username, phone number, credit card and other billing information, email address, shipping address, and your friends’ email addresses (which we will only use in order to invite them to use the Service), and in some cases your Internet Protocol address if it is combined with other information. We may also collect information you supply to us regarding your personal preferences and interests. You can choose not to provide us with any or all of the information we specify or request, but then you may not be able to register with us or to take advantage of some or all of our features provided through the Services.
You can register to join Ayetu via the Site or Applications or by logging into your account with Google or Facebook or Twitter via our Site. If you decide to create your Account by logging into Google or a SNS via the Site, we may extract the Personal Information you have provided to Google or the SNS (such as your "real" name, email address and other information you make publicly available via Google or the SNS) from the account you have with Google or such SNS and use that information to create your Account; the information we extract may depend on the privacy settings you have with Google or the SNS.
We use your Personal Information mainly to provide the Service and administer your inquiries. We will create your Account for your use of the Site and Applications based upon the Personal Information you provide and you will become a Member of Ayetu.We also collect the other information that you provide as part of registration and the administration and personalization of your profile webpage on Ayetu (e.g., without limitation, age and individual preferences) ("Non-Identifying Information").
Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, your viewing preferences). We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other Ayetu Users to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Services and to analyze and understand how our Site, Applications and Services are used. We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically, for instance to deliver a product to you according to your preferences or restrictions.
Marketing to You
We also use your Personal Information to contact you with Ayetu newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or update your "preferences" information. (See Changing or Deleting Information," below)
Log Data
When you visit the Ayetu or Applications, or use our Service, whether as a Member or a non-registered user just browsing (any of these, a "Ayetu User"), our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your Internet Protocol address, the browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Site and Application, pages of our Site and Application that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our Site and Application, access times and dates, and other statistics. We may use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Ayetu, Applications and the Service and for the Site and Applications’ technical administration, to increase our Site and Applications’ functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor our Site and Applications to our visitors’ needs. For example, some of this information is collected so that when you visit the Site and Application again, it may recognize you and serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. We also use this information to verify that visitors to the Ayetu and Application meet the criteria required to process their requests. We do not treat Log Data as Personal Information or use it in association with other Personal Information, though we may aggregate, analyze and evaluate such information for the same purposes as stated above regarding other Non-Identifying Information.

In addition to Log Data, we may also collect information about the device you’re using Ayetu on, including what type of device it is, what operating system you’re using, device settings, unique device identifiers, and crash data.

Our Policy Towards Children

Using our site or apps and sharing data implies that you're either above 13 years of age or above the legal age in your country.
