Privacy Policy
Except as described below, SkrinAd does not collect
or require visitors (excluding registered users) to
its web sites and mobile apps to furnish personally
identifying information such as names, email
addresses, and phone numbers. Like most web site
operators, SkrinAd also collects non-personally
identifying information of the sort that web
browsers and servers typically make available, such
as the browser type, operating system, language
preference, referring site and date and time of each
visitor request. SkrinAd also collects other
potentially-personally identifying information like
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, which are
non-personally identifying in and of themselves but
could be used in conjunction with other information
to personally identify users.
SkrinAd’s purpose in collecting this
information is to better understand how
SkrinAd’s visitors use its web sites and offer
personalized services as seen in SkrinAd. To that
end, SkrinAd may share potentially-personally
identifying information with its employees,
contractors, service providers, and subsidiaries and
related organizations in which SkrinAd is part.
SkrinAd may also release its results of such
analyses of non-personally identifying information
about visitors by publishing a report on web site
usage trends. Otherwise, SkrinAd will not publicly
release potentially-personally identifying
information except under the same circumstances as
SkrinAd releases personally identifying information.
Those circumstances are explained below.
Definition of terms
For the purpose of interpretation of these terms
and condition the following terms will be construed
to mean the following:
Buyer: Any person who purchases
Advert impressions on SkrinAd and pays for such.
User : Any person who registers on
SkrinAd
API: Application Programming
Interface
App: mobile application on all
supported mobile devices
Members
Registered users of the SkrinAd (contributors,
customers, etc.) choose to interact with SkrinAd in
ways that require SkrinAd and others to know more
about them. The amount and type of information that
SkrinAd gathers from those members depends on the
nature of the interaction. For example, members who
wish to use the SkrinAd mobile application and other
activities on SkrinAd or participate in live chat
session(s) are asked to provide usernames usually as
emails that are used to identify content as having
been posted by a particular member (who is
identified by the username), they are also asked to
provide contact information, up to and sometimes
including telephone or fax numbers and emails, so
that they can be contacted as necessary.
Typically, registered users will be contacted by
email, IRC (internet relay chat), or IM (instant
messaging services). However, in the event of a
time-sensitive request with SkrinAd and where other
means of contact have failed, a registered user’s
phone number or fax number may be used to contact
the user. This information is available to SkrinAd
employees, contractors, subsidiaries, but not to
other registered users of SkrinAd.
We also permit community members to provide their
name and email addresses so that they can have a
more direct engagement with SkrinAd and so that
SkrinAd can send them information related to
SkrinAd, such as promotional and cross-promotional
material, and surveys to be completed, messages
about the SkrinAd Foundation, events information,
and other such information and materials. These are
opt-in interactions where community members
affirmatively sign-up for inclusion in a direct
communication with SkrinAd (and with an ability to
unsubscribe/opt-out on any email received).
These campaigns may be conducted with the help of a
third-party customer relationship manager to help us
manage the database of information and its analysis
and use; in each case such third party’s involvement
with all the data collected will be solely on
SkrinAd’s behalf. As part of these marketing
campaigns, we might also ask you to provide
demographic information such as gender, age, job or
role, country, geographic location, and areas of
interest. If we ask you for this information, we
will use it to customize our communication with you
and to better understand those interested in SkrinAd
and its products. As part of these marketing
campaigns, we may collect a campaign source ID,
marketing campaign ID, and a campaign referrer ID.
These types of information are used so that we may
better understand your interests and the
effectiveness of particular marketing campaigns. We
may also use this information to customize our
communications with you.
Our web sites also may provide a means for
candidates to apply on-line for employment with
SkrinAd or SkrinAd. Applicants for employment with
SkrinAd are required to provide contact information,
including name, street address, telephone number,
and email address, as well as resume information. We
use this information to process and evaluate the
application for employment, and to communicate with
the applicant about employment opportunities. If we
elect to make an offer of employment, this
information may become part of the employee file and
may be used for other employment and work-related
purposes. SkrinAd may use an outside service
provider to assist us with online job applications
and the application process generally. It is our
policy to require any such service providers to
contractually commit to SkrinAd to (a) only use
applicant data for the purpose of fulfilling
obligations to SkrinAd in providing the services and
(b) not disclose the information to third parties.
SkrinAd is an open organization that believes in
sharing as much information as possible about its
products, its operations and its associations.
Accordingly, community members should assume –
as should most folks who interact with SkrinAd
– that any personally identifying information
provided to SkrinAd will be made available to the
public. There are four broad exceptions to that
rule:
1 SkrinAd does not publicly release
information gathered in connection with commercial
transactions (i.e., transactions involving money),
including transactions conducted through 3rd party
companies where SkrinAd has interest
2 SkrinAd does not publicly release
personally identifying information collected in
connection with an application for employment with
SkrinAd or SkrinAd.
3 SkrinAd does not make publicly
available information that is used to authenticate
users the publication of which would compromise the
security of SkrinAd’s services and mobile
applications (e.g., passwords).
4 SkrinAd does not make publicly
available information that it specifically promises
at the time of collection to maintain in confidence.
5 SkrinAd will not use user’s data
gotten from social networks for reasons other than
personalizing the user’s online session.
Outside those five contexts, users should assume
that personally identifying information provided
through SkrinAd.me might be made available to the
public

Interactive Product Features
Certain SkrinAd products contain features that
report, or that permit users to report, the
user’s usage patterns and problems –
whether caused by SkrinAd’s software,
third-party software, or third-party web sites
– to SkrinAd. The reports generated by these
features typically include non-personally
identifying information such as the configuration of
the user’s computer and the code running at
the time the problem occurred.
Some of these features give users the option of
providing personally identifying information, though
none of these features require it. Some SkrinAd
software features that do permit users to provide
personally identifying information advise, in
advance, that such information will not be made
publicly available. SkrinAd analyzes the information
provided by these interactive product features to
develop a better understanding of how its products
are performing and being used. It does not use the
information to track the usage of its products by
identifiable individuals. For Firefox, SkrinAd only
makes non-personally identifying information.
Banking and Payments Information
All payments are processed using licensed
third-party payment processors where the banking
information are securely saved and subsequently
accessed via tokens stored on our servers. SkrinAd
will only send your data securely to the payment
gateway once, while subsequent requests to the
gateway are done via the saved tokens on our
servers.
SkrinAd will at no time request for your credit
card details or request users to make payments
either via its platforms, or offline to its
employees, contractors, service providers and
subsidiaries or related organizations.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying
Information
Where SkrinAd has collected personally identifying
information subject to one of the four exceptions
described in the Community Members section, above,
it discloses that information only to those of its
employees, contractors, service providers and
subsidiaries or related organizations that need to
know that information to process it on
SkrinAd’s behalf and that have agreed not to
disclose it to others. SkrinAd endeavors to maintain
an up-to-date list of its subsidiaries and related
organizations; however, we do not guarantee this
list to be complete. Some of these employees,
contractors, service providers, and subsidiaries and
related organizations may be located outside of your
home country; by using SkrinAd’s mobile
application and web sites, you consent to the
transfer of your information to them, which may
involve the transfer of your information to
countries that may provide a lesser level of data
protection than your country of residence. SkrinAd
does not rent or sell such information to anyone.
SkrinAd may be required to disclose information to
the government or others. This may happen if we
receive a valid search warrant, subpoena, court
order, or other legal mandate. In certain other
limited situations, SkrinAd may disclose personally
identifying or other information, such as when
necessary to protect our operations (e.g., against
attacks); to protect the rights, PrivacyPolicy,
safety, or property of SkrinAd or its users; to
enforce our terms of service; and to pursue
available legal remedies. Additionally, SkrinAd may
need to transfer personally identifying information
to an affiliate or successor in the event of a
change of our corporate structure or status, such as
in the event of a restructuring, sale, or
bankruptcy. We will retain any personally
identifying information for the period necessary to
fulfill the purposes outlined in this PrivacyPolicy
policy.
Security
SkrinAd undertakes a range of security measures
including physical access restraints, technical
security monitoring, and internal security reviews
of the environment to help to protect your personal
information from unauthorized access, alteration,
disclosure, or destruction. We also have policies
in place to prohibit employees from viewing personal
information without business justification.
Updating of Personally-Identifying Information
You may request access, correction, or deletion of
your personally identifiable information or
potentially personally identifiable information, as
permitted by law. SkrinAd will seek to comply with
such requests, provided that we have sufficient
information to identify the personally identifiable
information or potentially personally identifiable
information related to you. To do so, users should
look for links or contact information available on
whichever SkrinAd web sites store the relevant or
contact SkrinAd by using one of the email addresses
listed below.
Cookies and Clear GIFs
What Are Cookies? A cookie is a
string of information that a web site stores on a
visitor’s computer, and that the
visitor’s browser provides to the web site
each time the visitor returns. Most major web sites
use cookies. Because the browser provides this
cookie information to the web site at each visit,
cookies serve as a sort of label that allows a web
site to “recognize” a browser when it
returns to the site. The domain name in SkrinAd.me
cookies will clearly identify their affiliation with
SkrinAd and, where applicable, its third-party
service provider.
What Are Clear GIFs? Clear gifs
(also known as web beacons) are used in combination
with cookies to help web site operators understand
how visitors interact with their web sites. A clear
gif is typically a transparent graphic image
(usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a
site. The use of a clear gif allows the site to
measure the actions of the visitor opening the page
that contains the clear gif. It makes it easer to
follow and record the activities of a recognized
browser, such as the path of pages visited at a web
site.
How We Use Cookies and Clear
GIFs. SkrinAd use cookies to help
SkrinAd’s mobile application and web sites
identify and track visitors, their usage of
SkrinAd’s services, and their access preferences
across multiple requests and visits to SkrinAd‘s
mobile application and web sites. Our applications,
and advertisements that SkrinAd may run occasionally
on third party advertising networks, also may use
clear gifs for these purposes. The basic idea is to
gather aggregate data about how people use the
SkrinAd services. The term usually used to describe
this is “web analytics” and the cookies
and clear gifs are the tools by which a website
owner collects this web analytics data.
SkrinAd will use the web analytics data only to
determine aggregate usage patterns for our web sites
as described above. SkrinAd web sites do this by
using either our own internal analytics software or
by sending this information to a third-party service
provider to help SkrinAd analyze this data. SkrinAd
has agreements with its third-party service
providers that they will not share this information
with others or use the information for purposes
other than to maintain the services they provide to
SkrinAd. It is possible to link cookies and clear
gifs to personally identifying information, thereby
permitting web site operators, including our
third-party analytics providers, to track the online
movements of particular individuals. SkrinAd does
not do so and its third-party service providers are
not allowed to correlate SkrinAd data with any other
data.
SkrinAd uses the information provided by cookies
and clear gifs to develop a better understanding of
how SkrinAd’s visitors use SkrinAd’s services,
and to facilitate those visitors’ interactions
with SkrinAd’s services. SkrinAd may make the
aggregate data obtained from web analytics
(including from our third-party analytics providers,
if applicable) publicly available. If this data is
made available, none of the information will be
personally identifying information or
potentially-personally identifying information.
How to Control the Use of
Cookies. You have the ability to
accept or decline cookies. SkrinAd visitors who do
not wish to have cookies placed on their computers
by SkrinAd, its contractors, or third-party service
providers should set their browsers to refuse
cookies before linking to SkrinAd’s services.
Certain features of SkrinAd’s services may not
function properly without the aid of cookies.
Privacy Policy Changes
By using the web sites, you agree to the terms and
conditions of this PrivacyPolicy policy. If you do
not agree to the terms and conditions of this
PrivacyPolicy policy, please do not use the mobile
application and web sites. SkrinAd may change its
Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all
changes will be reflected on this page. Substantive
changes will also be announced through the standard
mechanisms through which SkrinAd communicates with
the SkrinAd community.
