“Automatically Collected Information” is information about your use of the Services and the Content. Similar to other services, we record Automatically Collected Information based on your account activity and use of the Services and the Content. For example, when you use the Services or the Content we automatically collect information on the type of device you use and the device identifier (or “UDID”). We do this to analyze trends, administer the Services and the Content, troubleshoot any user problems, and to enhance and update the Services and the Content. We may use third parties to help us analyze the Automatically Collected Information we obtain from you and to help us serve advertisements through the Services. We may also use the Automatically Collected Information for our business purposes, such as to report aggregate, non-Personal Information about the use of the Services.

We may also place a text file called a “cookie” on your computer. This cookie does not contain personal information and cannot retrieve personal information from your computer. Such technologies enable us to relate your use of the Services and the Content to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. We use such technologies to track user traffic patterns, analyze our overall user demographics and usage patterns and serve advertising (except where prohibited by law) and to authenticate you on to Services and the Content. Such technologies can be used to collect click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over.You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser, but in doing so you will not be able to use the web version of the Services.

Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. The Services do not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Services and after you leave the Services.

Do you share my information with third parties?
It is our policy not to share with third parties, any Personal Information collected by us, except as set forth above. We do share non-Personal Information with third parties as described above and in the Terms. AR does not have control over the privacy policies of payment collection services or other third-party websites. There may be links to other websites and embedded services, such as payment services, provided by third parties available from or through the Services. A payment service provider may receive information related to the payment by you for the Services and the Content without such information having been provided first to us. Any personal information you enter is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third party’s privacy policy.
Will you transfer my information to a third party?
As AR continues to develop its business, we might sell some or all of its assets to another company in connection with a business merger or acquisition. In such cases, customer information (including your Personal Information) may be transferred to the company who is taking over the Software, the Content and the Services. The new company would be required to protect all the information that we have collected from its users under the same terms of this Privacy Policy.

As an AR user, you will have the opportunity to review and modify your Personal Information any time you log onto your account using an email address and password listed on the account.
How does Applied Researches maintain security?
AR is strongly committed to protecting your information. AR uses several industry standard methods of securing user information and data. We also maintain protective limits on whom at AR and its subcontractors can access the information databases that contain your information. Because there is no such thing as perfect security and because of the data risks inherent with Internet and cellular networks, we cannot guarantee 100% security. However, in the unlikely case of a security breach on our databases, we will take prompt steps to address the problem. Also, please know that the Internet and cellular networks are not secure environments, so be careful and select strong passwords.
Will there be changes and updates to this Privacy Policy?
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will also revise the “last updated” date. For changes to this Privacy Policy that may be materially less restrictive on our use or disclosure of your personal information, we may attempt to notify you by email of the change. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy from time to time to stay informed about how we are protecting the information we collect. If you continue to use the Services after we have attempted to contact you about material changes to the privacy policy, we will assume that you agree to the changes.
