ABOUT MINEWTAG
SUPPORT
Your privacy is vital to Minewtag, so we've developed a privacy policy covering how we collect, use, disclose, and transfer your personal information. We take your privacy as seriously as you do and will only collect the information necessary to provide you with the best experience.
As you review our policy, keep in mind that it applies to Shenzhen Minew Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Minewtag," "We," "Us") website, mobile apps, and all other associated services that we provide ("Services").
In this Privacy Policy, the term "Personal Information" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to a name, an identification number, or in certain circumstances, location information, an IP address or the unique identifier allocated to each Minewtag device. Specifically, we collect the following information from you, which may include Personal Information.
When you place an order on our website, you'll need to provide an e-mail address, a first and last name, and a shipping address.
To complete your order on our website, you'll need to provide payment information, such as your credit card or PayPal account. This information is required to process your order and will not be stored on our servers.
You'll need to use a valid e-mail address and create a password to open an account for services on the Minewtag’s online apps. You can choose whether or not you'd like to provide your first and last name. We do not expose your personal information to other users or make your account information available to any third parties (in any way) that could identify you without your prior consent.
When you create a Minewtag account, you may be able to connect and interact with a third-party social networking service ("Social Network)"), such as Facebook or Twitter. If you decide to join Social Network when using our Services, we can collect the personal information you have already made public on your Social Network account. You can manage this information in the privacy settings of each Social Network.
When you activate Minewtag apps, a unique identifier (or Minewtag ID) will be associated with your account. If you choose to name your tags or add a photo, your account will also include this information.
Minewtag is designed to tell you where your items are. It's necessary to collect data about your location. We use the term "Location Information" to refer to your phone or device's combined location data and your ESLs.
While the app is running on your device, it periodically transmits your location information. It allows us to show your location and the last place your tags were seen on your device. It is one of the primary ways electronic tags help you find your lost items.
We may also collect and update location information for your ESLs anonymously from other ESL users running the app within the Bluetooth range of your device. We do this to provide you with the most recent and accurate location of your tags, even if they are out of your devices' Bluetooth range. The Location Information is reported anonymously and does not identify the owner of an e-tag to others.
If you use a computer, phone, or other devices to visit our website or help center, we use the IP address of that computer or device to determine an approximate location. We do this so that we can provide you with a better customer service experience.
We use your Location Information to provide the Services and may use your Location Information to promote the Services or provide you with offers. However, your location information will never be shared with other users unless you share it yourself.
We track how and how often you use our Services. We also collect certain information that your mobile device sends when you use it for Services, including your device's model, operating system type, version, and the dates and times of your requests. We use this information to provide you with optimal services and support and collect anonymous statistics that help us understand our user base.
We provide support services via live chat on our website, e-mail request submissions, recorded outbound telephone calls, and direct e-mail. We collect any Personal Information you may choose to provide to our customer care team in the process. But it is not limited to your name, e-mail address, phone number, and mailing address. We may use and process your Personal Information, including location information, to handle your support request and provide you with the best support possible.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer's hard drive or onto your mobile device's memory— if your browser is set to accept cookies. Like many other online services, cookies and other tools like them help us collect and understand how you use our services.
Although most internet browsers automatically accept cookies, you can change your settings or use third-party tools to prompt you before accepting cookies from the websites you choose to visit or refuse cookies altogether. You can even delete them through your browser. Most browsers also have settings to prevent them from accepting new cookies, notify you when you receive a new cookie or delete or disable cookies altogether. However, some parts of our Services may not work for you if you disable cookies.
We use cookie technology in various ways to help make it easier for you to use our Services. For example, we use cookies to remember you when you return to our website, identify you when you sign-in, authenticate your access, keep track of your in-app specified preferences or choices, tailor content to you or geographic region, display a personalized browsing history, and/or to provide specific technical support.
We may also use cookies to gauge site usage, conduct research, and diagnostics to improve the products and services, and help us analyze general web traffic.
The cookies expire after they have fulfilled their purposes. Some cookies expire when you close your browser (i.e., session cookies) or after a set period (i.e., persistent cookies). The expiration time of cookies that are placed by third parties (explained below) is determined by the third party, not us.
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 Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Services, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike cookies stored on the user's hard drive, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).
While our website and Minewtag apps at this time do not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, such as "do not track" instructions, you can generally express your privacy preferences regarding the use of most cookies and similar technologies through your web browser, as indicated above.
Sometimes Our ESL solution uses third-party services, such as certain services offered by Facebook, Google. These outside services may also collect Personal Information about you and your online activities.
They may also place cookies on your computer's hard drive or your mobile device's memory or use web beacons to collect or receive information from the Services and elsewhere on the internet and use that information to provide analytics and to target ads. The information practices of these outside services are not covered by this Privacy Policy. We cannot access, nor (do we) have any control over, the cookies or other web technologies they may use.
We may use third-party web analytics services to gather non-identifying information to measure how customers in aggregate interact with our website. These services may use cookies or other web technologies to collect usage information matched to an IP address to help us analyze how our users use our website and some portions of the Minewtag apps. We collect this information in order to improve the overall experience of our Services for our users.
We utilize Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, Inc. (that we use), to gather information about how users and visitors engage with our Site and Services. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
We also use Mixpanel to provide us with analytics data regarding your interactions with our Services. You may opt out of Mixpanel's automatic retention of data collected while using the Services by visiting https://mixpanel.com/optout/. To track opt-outs, Mixpanel uses a persistent opt-out cookie placed on your device.
Please note that if you get a new computer, install a new browser, erase or otherwise alter the browser's cookie file (including upgrading specific browsers), you may clear the Mixpanel opt-out cookie.
These outside services may also collect information about your use of other websites over time. Since we do not link any Personal Information that you provide to us within the app to the information we store within the third-party analytics software, this additional information is only analyzed in a way that cannot identify you.
We may use tools offered by third-party services, such as Facebook, to send data about actions users take on the Services. These third-party services may use such data to provide measurement services to electronic tags or target ads. You can opt-out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting by going to http://www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.
We may use social plugins, widgets, and other features (each, a "Social Feature") made available by and/or access third-party Social Networks. These Social Features allow these Social Networks to place cookies on your browser and to collect certain information, which may be associated with your name and personal Social Network account.
These Social Features are operated solely by the respective Social Networks and their service providers. We recommend that you carefully read their privacy policies before you decide to use them. We have no control over or access to the information collected, stored, or used by such Social Networks. This Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of such Social Networks.
If you do not wish to associate any information collected via the plugins, widgets, and/or other features with your personal Social Network account information. It would help if you refrained from using these Social Features and logout from your Social Network account before visiting our Services.

Any information that you provide on or to a Third-party Service, or that is collected by a Third-party Service, is provided directly to the owner or operator of the Third-party Service and is subject to the
Owner's or operator's privacy policy. We're not responsible for the content, privacy, or security practices and policies of any Third-party Service. To protect your information, we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of all Third-party Services that you access.
