Please note that this policy is set to be compliant with the United Kingdom law & regulation. UK is a certified by the EU as having a high standard and adequate protection of privacy and human rights, and this privacy policy is set to let you know more about your rights.

This Privacy Policy forms part of FoneWire’s Business Term & Conditions and FoneWire’s End-User Terms for Mobile Applications, both of which are set forth above (collectively, “Terms”). Any capitalized but undefined term in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning given to it in the Terms.

Consent and Modification.
You are not legally obligated to provide us personal information, and you hereby confirm that providing us personal information is at your own free will. By using the FoneWire Platform and\or the FoneWire Application (collectively, “Services”), you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy and to our collection, processing and sharing of your personal information for the purposes set forth herein. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not access or otherwise use the Services. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such change will be effective 10 days following posting of the revised Privacy Policy, and your continued use of the Services thereafter means that you accept those changes.

How Is Information About You Collected?
FoneWire collects information about you in the following ways: when you use the FoneWire Application, some information is stored about you on FoneWire’s servers, when you use the FoneWire Application to send or receive Assets, FoneWire saves these transactions, and when you share information with others, FoneWire also saves this information. Moreover, if you connect your account with Facebook, then FoneWire may also collect information through Facebook. FoneWire also may scan the blockchain to fetch other transactions.

What Personal Information Does FoneWire Retain?
FoneWire retains your phone number, your IP address and your approximate geolocation, which it receives when you signed up. It also may retain your name and other personally identifiable information you directly submit it. If you connect your Facebook Account, FoneWire may retain your name, user ID, profile picture, gender and network; as well as information relating to your language and country, your timezone and whether you are a verified user.

FoneWire also saves a list of your Assets and the use of your Assets (such as when you ride the bus).

Please note that when you install the FoneWire Application, it also transmits and saves your mobile phone’s contact list. This is made in order to compare your list with the existing FoneWire users, and to let you send them Assets through their phone number.

What Non Personally Identifiable Information Does FoneWire Retain?
FoneWire retains statistic, aggregated, non personally-identifiable information about your use of the Application and services, such as your “hot zones”, the number of times you opened the Application, your stay time, and similar information.

Who Has Access To This Information?
FoneWire’s employees and contractors, who are under strict confidentiality obligations, have access to this information. Moreover, the Asset issuers who send you Assets, as well as your friends and contacts who send you Assets (or receive Assets from you), may receive some of the information, all according to the FoneWire Platform’s functionality.

FoneWire may also use aggregated, non personally identifiable information for research and improvement of the services.

Lastly, please note that as the FoneWire Platform is based on the blockchain, everyone who has your public key may have access to your public information.

Who Else Has Access To This Information?
FoneWire uses a selected number of third party service providers who have limited access to the information under strict confidentiality obligations. These are Parse, Twilio, Bitcoinj, Github and Amazon.

How Can You Review Your Information?
There are a few ways to review your information. First, by using the blockchain itself. Second, by sending FoneWire an email requesting to review your information. Third, you may view everything through the Application itself.

Can FoneWire Contact You?
FoneWire may use your contact information to contact you regarding the services, as well as provide you with relevant information and promotional material. You may always opt-out of these notifications by notifying FoneWire.

Amending This Policy.
FoneWire may amend this policy from time to time, and shall notify you upon such changes.

What Can You Do If You Feel Your Privacy Was Invaded?
If you feel your privacy was invaded, please contact FoneWire’s privacy officer at privacy@fonewire.co.uk. FoneWire’s privacy officer shall inspect the complaint and public periodic reports with aggregated, anonymous data.

Children’s Privacy.
The Services are not structured to attract children under the age of 13 years. Accordingly, FoneWire does not intend to collect personal information from anyone it knows to be under 13 years. If FoneWire learns that it has collected personal information from a child under 13 years, FoneWire will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that FoneWire might have any such information, please contact FoneWire at privacy@FoneWire.co.

Security.
The security of personal information is important to FoneWire. FoneWire follows generally accepted industry standards, including the use of appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards, to protect the personal information submitted to it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while FoneWire strives to use reasonable commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, it cannot guarantee its absolute security or confidentiality. If you have any questions about security on the Service, you can contact FoneWire at privacy@fonewire.co.uk

Merger, Sale or Bankruptcy.
In the event that FoneWire is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, or in the event of bankruptcy or a comparable event, FoneWire reserves the right to transfer or assign personal information in connection with the foregoing events.

Deletion of Content from California Residents.
If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and a registered user, California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 permits you to remove content or personal information you have publicly posted. To remove, please email privacy@fonewire.co.uk . Please be aware that after removal you will not be able to restore removed content. In addition, such removal does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or personal information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require FoneWire to enable removal of content.
