Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how AppCarousel Inc. ("AppCarousel"), treats your personal information when you access the AppCarousel service or access or download an AppCarousel application (the "Service") using your device.
Before you first start using the Service, you are required to accept the terms of this Privacy Policy and AppCarousel's End-User Terms and Conditions of Use for the Service, located at the following website: www.AppCarousel.com
A. Collection and Use of Personal Information
Privacy laws typically define personal information as information about an "identifiable individual", such as name, age, email address, home address and phone number. AppCarousel does not collect any personal information without your express consent, and you have every right to refuse to provide such information to the Service.
You may decide to enter your e-mail address into the Service to be kept up to date on AppCarousel news and developments. If you decide to opt in for such communications, you may receive promotional offers and information regarding new AppCarousel products and services, but you will always be given the opportunity to opt-out of receiving such e-mails.
AppCarousel will never contact you directly by telephone, either by making a voice call to you, or by sending you an SMS text message, unless you have specifically requested such communication.
If you decide to submit any personal information to AppCarousel, it gets transmitted via the internet to a secure server environment where it is managed by AppCarousel solely for the purpose of providing the Services to you or providing you with administrative notifications, forwarding software updates, sending occasional newsletters, or responding to your inquiries.
Your personal information is never viewed, analyzed or used by AppCarousel for any other purpose, or shared with any third party, except as described elsewhere in this Policy, and is never made visible to any other user of the Services. No location-based information is ever stored. The Service does not access any other part of your mobile device to collect any other personal information except for the information you specifically enter.
B. Statistical Analysis of your Personal Data
You should be aware that we may analyze data on an aggregated, non-personalized, statistical basis. We reserve the right to rent, sell or share this aggregated data to third parties for statistical analysis only. We never provide this type of aggregated data to any third party in a form that would allow you to be personally identified, nor is your data used for telemarketing.
C. AppCarousel working with third parties
AppCarousel works with third parties to offer app carousels to the market, including wireless carriers, corporations, and organizations. If you have accessed AppCarousel via a third party distribution agent, (a "Distributor"), this AppCarousel Privacy Policy does not apply to any information that you submit to that Distributor. The Distributor will make it very clear as to when you are providing personal information to them, and you will need to refer to the privacy policies of your Distributor to find out about their practices regarding the collection, storage and use of any personal information that you submit to them. AppCarousel is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party.
In order to continue to provide you with the Services, AppCarousel and the Distributor may need to share certain information that identifies you solely for the purposes of supporting you or maintaining the Service to you, including your name, e-mail address, mobile telephone number, and some unique identifier generated by either AppCarousel or the Distributor.
Depending on the business relationship between the Distributor and AppCarousel, either party may provide you with support. In order to provide you with such support, the parties may be required to provide each other with a minimal amount of your personal information as is necessary to register and respond to your support query.
We may also retain the services of third party service providers who perform certain functions on AppCarousel's behalf. These third party service providers are required to sign confidentiality agreements with AppCarousel and are only provided with access to the data on a "need-to-know basis" as required to perform the services on behalf of AppCarousel in accordance with this Policy.
D. Legal Proceedings
Finally, we may also be required to share your data as necessary to respond to court orders or other legal processes or to establish AppCarousel's legal rights, defend against legal claims, or as otherwise required to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of AppCarousel's End-User Terms and Conditions of Use, or as otherwise required by law.

F. E-mail Communications from AppCarousel

You should be aware that these techniques, which are used within almost all marketing e-mails that you receive from service providers, such as airlines, loyalty cards, newsletters and retailers, provide us with information about your e-mail viewing habits. AppCarousel only uses this information in order to provide the Services to you, and does not share it with any third party.

The amended Policy will automatically be effective upon posting on our website. Your continued use of the Service, following the posting of the amended Policy, shall mean that you accept the terms of the Policy, as amended.
