The terms "you" and "your" refers to you, the user. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business, association, or other entity, "you" or "your" will also refer to such business, association, or other entity, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. You agree that you are authorized to consent to these terms on behalf of such business, association, or other entity, and we can rely on this. This Privacy Policy also explains how SmartTec may use and share your Personal Information (as defined in Section 1), as well as the choices available to you.
By using/continuing to use the Services, you acknowledge you have read and understand and agree to the collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy, and you agree to our Terms of Service which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Services.

Generally, we collect four (4) types of information about you: (A) information and content you give us directly; (B) information we obtain automatically when you use our Services; (C) demographic information; and (D) information we get about you from other sources. When we talk about "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we are talking about any information collected in accordance with this section. Please see below for more information on each category.
We may receive information about you from other sources and add it to our information, including from third-party services and organizations who have the right to provide us with such information. We protect this information according to the practices described in this Privacy Policy, plus any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data. These sources may include: your potential employer(s), online and offline data providers, from which we obtain demographic, interest-based, and online advertising related data; publicly-available sources such as open government databases or social networks; and service providers who provide us with information, and updates to that information, based on their relationship with you. By gathering additional information about you, we can correct inaccurate information, enhance the security of your transactions, and give you product or service recommendations and special offers that are more likely to interest you.
We may collect demographic, statistical, or other aggregate information that is about you, but individually does not identify you. Some of this information may be derived from Personal Information, but it is not Personal Information and cannot be tied back to you. Examples of such aggregate information include gender, age, and race.
We may use the information we collect about you in a variety of ways, to provide our Services, for administrative purposes, and to market and advertise our Services and products.
