How does Action Engine collect information?

When you register for, obtain, or use our products, services, and websites, we may collect information about you in the following ways:

  • User-Provided Information: You may be asked to provide certain information about yourself to register for, obtain, or use our products, services, and websites. For example, we may collect your name, email address, and phone number to register you for a service or newsletter and we may collect your credit card number and billing address when you purchase a product or service. If you choose not to provide certain information, you may not be permitted to register for, obtain, or use all or a part of one of our products, services, or websites.
  • Automated-Collection Information: We may automatically collect certain types of information when you access or use our products, services, or websites. For example, in order to provide you with mobile content services, we may collect information about your mobile device (e.g., phone number, type, serial number, operating system), the Action Engine software that you are using (e.g., type and version), and about your use of our service (e.g., time-stamped log of data exchanges). In order to collect this data, we may utilize our software and other automated tools and files such as “cookies”. These automated tools and files may reside on our servers or on your computer or device. If you disable our ability to use automated tools and files, your ability to access and use all or a part of our products, services, and websites may be limited or disabled completely.

How does Action Engine use the information that it collects?

We may use the collected information to operate, support, develop, and market our products, services, and websites and to provide you with relevant information. For example, we may use your user-provided information to complete your purchase of one of our products or services, to perform technical support, to conduct a satisfaction survey in order to improve our products and services, and to notify you of product and service updates. Similarly, we may use automated-collection information to perform technical support and to improve our products and services.

When will Action Engine share or transfer the information that it collects?

We may share or transfer the collected information as described below:

  • Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as providing customer service, providing marketing assistance, and processing and fulfilling customer orders. We may provide our agents with access to the collected information in order to perform their functions. For example, we may provide a customer support agent with your email and phone number to enable the agent to provide you with customer support.
  • Affiliated Businesses: We may structure our business to operate through subsidiaries and other affiliated business entities. We may provide our affiliated businesses with access to the collected information as part of our business operations. For example, we may provide your information to a subsidiary in order to provide services to you in a foreign country.
  • Anonymous and Aggregate Information: Some of the information that we collect may be “anonymous” (e.g., cannot be used to personally identify you) or may be made anonymous when aggregated with similar information from others. We may share with specific third parties (e.g., business partners, customers) and the general public anonymous information and aggregate information in a manner that will not personally identify you. For example, we may publish a list of the devices that our customers use to device manufacturers and we may publish the number of users that we have to market our products and services.
  • Legal Requirements, Protection of Rights, Safety: We may share the information we collect when we believe that it is required by applicable law, when necessary to protect or enforce our rights and property or the rights and property of another user, and when necessary to protect the safety of individuals or the public. For example, we may share information with a third party for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
  • Transfer of Business: We may transfer (e.g., as part of a sale or as part of bankruptcy proceedings) all or a part of our business or assets to a third party. The collected information may be a part of the business or assets that we transfer.
