Simolio (collectively,“we” or “us”) promise that your privacy is under protection as you’re visiting our website https://www.simolio.com/ (collectively, the “Site”). Our Site is to provide you the related information, resources and services. To this end, the Site will collect some information about the users. We understand the importance of personal privacy, therefore the information category and purpose will be stated at the moment of collection. This privacy policy sets out the treatment of any related personal data we collected or provided by you. This privacy policy is applicable to any data collected through the Site, e-mail, text and electronic information between you and this Site.

Personal Information. This means any information that can be used to identify a specific natural person directly or indirectly, either in isolation or in combination with other information. Some examples of Personal Information include a name, address, email address, phone number, any ID number or location data.

Aggregated Information. Information may be aggregated and/or anonymized. When information is aggregated, it is combined with information about other customers and users. Aggregated information that includes Personal Information is considered Personal Information until it has been anonymized.

Anonymized Information. When information is anonymized, the information can no longer be attributed to a specific natural person without the use of additional information, for example, how many users viewed a particular website video or advertisement, such information cannot be used to identify you. In general, usage data collected when you visit the Site is both aggregated and anonymized so it does not identify you personally and therefore is not Personal Information.

10. Security

We strive to maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the information collected by the Site. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not 100% secure.

If you do not want your information to be available to others, exercise caution when using public computers or devices or when using any computer or device to which users unauthorized by you may have access.

We recommend that you take every precaution in protecting your Personal Information when you are on the Internet. For example, change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers when creating passwords, and make sure you use a secure browser. You should also be aware that names that you give your Wi-Fi-enabled devices, home networks and services (also known as "friendly names") may be detectable by others outside your home, so you should not use Personal Information as part of your friendly names.
