  1. Automatic Data Collection, Cross Device Tracking and Advertising

This Application is intended to comply with the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising found at  http://www.aboutads.info/principles/. We work with online advertising companies to provide you with relevant and useful advertising. Some of the ads you receive are customized based on predictions about your interests generated from your visits over time and across different applications and websites. For example, we may attempt to match your browsing activity on your mobile device with your browsing activity on your laptop. To do this our technology partners may share data, such as your browsing patterns, geo-location and device identifiers, and will match the information of the browser and devices that appear to be used by the same person.

We may use tools or third-party analytical software to collect and use certain user data, as listed in section 3 above. These data sets help us in improving our services to ensure they are more tailored to your interests.

We may also use Cookies or pixels (or mobile cookies/pixels)/ Web Beacons for automatic information collection. These are a small file(s) placed on your smart device. These permit the Application, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or for other related statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain application content and verifying system and server integrity). It may be possible to exercise the choice to accept mobile cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your smart device. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain features of the Application. Please see Section 7 “What are my privacy rights?” below.

We reserve the right to use and disclose the collected data in a de-identified, anonymized and/or aggregated manner for the business purposes of our partners. We do not pass any information such as your name, phone number or email address to other ad networks or advertisers.

We may work with attribution partners and analytics companies to help us understand how the Application is being used, such as the frequency and duration of usage. We also work with advertisers and third-party advertising companies, advertisers, ad networks, ad servers that collect information about how you interact with advertising and content provided in the Application, which helps us keep the cost of the Application free. Advertisers and advertising companies use some of the information collected by the Application, including the advertising identifier assigned to your mobile device to serve advertisements that are targeted to your interests in the Application.

To learn how to opt out of the use of information collected from this Application including third party use, for targeted advertising purposes, please see the Section 7, “What are my privacy rights?”, below. If you have allowed us to collect information about your location by enabling the location option of your device, we may share it with our ad network partners in order to tailor the ads we display. We typically do not show advertising in the paid "1Weather Pro" versions of the Application. If you have questions or concerns about this, please contact  apps-dsr@inmobi.com.

Our customers, partners or vendors (including without limitation advertising companies, advertisers, ad networks, device manufacturers or carriers or telecom partners issuing smart devices, other application developers, data enrichment partners, etc.) may disclose to us certain personal or non-personal information they have separately collected about you so that we can effectively provide our services.
