(“nativeMsg,” “we” or “us”) that post a link to or include this Privacy Policy (collectively, “nativeMsg Site”). .This privacy policy only applies to the nativeMsg Site, and does not apply to information collected offline or information that may be collected by our clients who use our technology solutions.

Information We Collect
In general, you can visit the nativeMsg Site without providing us with any information that identifies you as a specific individual, such as your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, or other information that identifies you as an actual person (“Personal Information”). However, certain features may ask you to provide Personal Information, including if you choose to register with the nativeMsg Site. We may also ask you to provide demographic information, such as ZIP code or information regarding preferences or hobbies (“Demographic Information”) or other information about you. If you register with the nativeMsg Site, we will also ask you to create a user-name and password that will serve as your log-in credentials. If we associate demographic and other non-personal information with Personal Information we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.
nativeMsg may also provide you opportunities to submit Personal Information about other individuals. For instance, you may choose to send an e-mail invitation to encourage a contact to try our services. We will not use the Personal Information of these other individuals for any other purpose unless we disclose otherwise at the time you provide the information.
We and our third-party service providers may use certain technologies (such as cookies and Web beacons) that automatically or passively collect certain information whenever you interact with the nativeMsg Site (“Usage Data”). Usage Data may include the browser and operating system you are using, the URL or advertisement that referred you to the nativeMsg Site, any search terms you entered into a search engine that led you to the nativeMsg Site, the areas within the nativeMsg Site that you visit and the time of day, among other information. Usage Data also includes the IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for any computer, mobile phone, or other device used to access the nativeMsg Site. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your device, and our servers identify your device by its Device Identifier. Some mobile service providers may also provide us with information regarding the physical location of the device you used to access the nativeMsg Site. Usage Data is generally non-identifying, but if we associate it with you as a specific and identifiable person, we will treat it as Personal Information.
We may also receive information about you from third parties and we may supplement the information we collect with outside records. We may combine the information we receive from those other sources with information we collect through the nativeMsg Site. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information.
The nativeMsg Site is not intended for use by anyone younger than the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children younger than age 13. If we learn that we have in fact collected Personal Information from a user younger than 13, we will delete it from our records.
