It applies to all Personal Information collected by us on https://snapmedicalindustries.com/ (the “Site”), any mobile application, and any other website or mobile application that links to this Policy, as well as during any written, electronic, and oral communications (collectively, the “Services”).

If we make any material changes to the way we process your Personal Information, we will notify you before such changes are effective. If you object to any changes you must cease using our Services. We recommend you review this Policy periodically. This Policy became effective on the date indicated at the top of this page. Your continued use of our Services after any changes or revisions to this Policy indicates your agreement to the terms of the revised Policy.

Collection of Personal Information.  When you use our Services, we may collect or receive Personal Information about you to provide our services and operate our business. The types of Personal Information that we may collect about you are:

When you use our Services (for example on our Site), complete electronic forms, or contact us, by online chat, email, phone or text, we may automatically collect and store certain information about you and the activity you engaged in, for example: your name and contact information; your order details; information that you voluntarily provide to us; the nature of your communication; the purpose of the interaction, and the action we took in response to your inquiry or request.

Information Collected Automatically

We also may receive and store certain information about you and your device(s) automatically when you access or use our Site and Services. This information may include:

• Technical Information – We collect technical information associated with your activity on our Site and may include information related to your browser and operating system, IP address (the Internet address of your computer) unique device identifiers, and other information such as your device type. We use such information for diagnostic and statistical purposes and to administer our Services.

• Site Usage Information – We collect information to better understand customer traffic patterns and Site usage. This may include the webpage that you were visiting before accessing our Site or mobile application, the pages or features of our Site or mobile application you browsed to inform us which part of our Site, mobile application, and Services you visit and how much time you spend there. This information is used to analyze and improve our Site and to provide our customers with a better user experience.

• Site Preferences – We collect information about your preferences to make your use of the Site more productive through the use of cookies.

Location Information

When you use the Services, we may collect general location information (such as IP address). If you permit the Services to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system (“Platform”) or browser, we may also collect the precise location of your device when a mobile device app is running in the foreground or background of your device. This information may be used to help you select your delivery address, to provide more accurate deliveries of your orders, to provide recommendations to you, and to enhance your user experience and improve the services. You can choose whether to enable the location tracking feature through the settings on your device or Platform or when prompted by a mobile app. If you choose to disable the location feature, delivery drivers will not receive precise location information from your device, which may compromise the accuracy of deliveries in some situations, for instance, if you are located in a large area, such as a park.

Personal Information from Publicly Available Sources and Third Parties

We may collect or receive Personal Information about you from publicly available sources, social network providers, marketing partners, and/or third parties. This may include:

Social Network Information – We may receive information about you from other services. For example, we receive certain information from Facebook when you use their service to login to Snap.

Demographic Information – This characteristic information could include information such as income, marital status, spending habits, and other information pertaining to customers.

Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.  We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to collect information and personalize your experience with our Services.

Cookies.  Cookies are small web files that a site or its provider transfers to your device’s hard drive through your web browser that enables the site’s or provider’s system to recognize your browser and remember certain information.

How We Use Cookies – We use first-party and third-party cookies for the following purposes:

• to make our Services function properly;
• to improve our Services;
• to recognize you when you return to Snap and to remember information you have already provided, such as items already in your order cart;
• to collect information about your activities over time and across third party websites or other online services in order to deliver content and advertising tailored to your interests; and
• to provide a secure browsing experience during your use of our Services.

How to Manage Cookies – You may disable the use of cookies by modifying your browser settings. If you choose to disable cookies you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of our Services. For more information on cookies and how to disable cookies visit www.ftc.gov/ftc/cookies.shtm or https://www.usa.gov/optout_instructions.shtml. 

Depending on whether you would like to manage a first-party or third-party cookie, you will need to take the following steps:

• Web Beacons.  Web beacons, also known as web bugs, pixel tags, or clear GIFs, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Site to deliver or communicate with cookies, in order to track and measure the performance of our Site and Services, monitor how many web visitors we have, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly on webpages (or in an email).
• Online Analytics and Advertising Technologies.  We and our third-party vendors may use automated technologies (including cookie identifiers on our Site), along with other collected information, to tailor ads or deliver content when you are on our Services or on other devices, apps or websites.
• Interest-Based Advertising.  We (or our service providers) may use the information we collect, for instance, IP addresses and unique mobile device identifiers, to locate or try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or computers), or work with providers that do this, in order to better tailor content and features and provide you with a seamless experience across devices. If you wish to opt out of cross device tracking for purposes of interest-based advertising, you may do so through your device settings. We may also use cross-device targeting to help identify our users and serve advertising. This type of advertising is often called “interest-based” or “personalized” advertising and when it occurs on mobile apps, “cross-app” advertising.

You can learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising by visiting (i) the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or (ii) the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link.  To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page.  Please note that even if you opt-out, you may still receive advertisements from us. However, in that case, the advertising will not be tailored to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs.

Mobile Applications

Depending on your permissions, we may receive your Personal Information from your Internet service and mobile device providers. Users of mobile device who do not want to receive interest-based advertising may opt-out in several ways. Learn more about your choices for mobile devices by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices.  Each operating system, (iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices) provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. You should view your device or system “Settings” to determine how you can opt out of use of your device ID for “cross-app” personalized advertising.

Use of Your Personal Information.  We may use the information we collect or receive about you for various purposes.

To Provide You With Our Services

We use your information to provide you the Services. For example, we use credit card information to complete a transaction or an address to fulfill your delivery. If the applicable information is to be provided or Service is to be performed by a third party, then we will disclose the applicable Personal Information to the third party providing the information or performing applicable Services. Your information may be available or provided to third-party service providers and that are contractually obligated to protect your information as disclosed in this Policy.

For Account and Network Security Purposes

We care about keeping you secure and safe while using our Services.  Keeping you safe requires us to process your Personal Information, such as your device information, activity information and other relevant information.

We urge you to take every precaution to protect your information when you are on the Internet, or when you communicate with us and with other through the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.

The manner in which a Social Network collects, uses, stores, and discloses your information is governed by the policies of such third parties and Snap shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any Social Network that may be enabled within our Services.  You may also have the option of posting your activities on our Services and other content to a Social Network when you access content through our Services.
