Privacy Policy
[Last modified: March 7, 2018]
The Company ("Company", "us" or "our") follows the practices set out in this Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") when you use its search product currently known as browsevale.com ("Offer") and the Service supplied through it, as defined in our Terms of Service. We respect our users' privacy and provide this Privacy Policy to explain our privacy and data collection practices clearly. Please read it carefully before accessing or using our Service. Terms defined in the Terms of Service carry the same meanings here.
This Privacy Policy forms an integral part of our Terms of Service (together, the "Terms"). Any use or attempted use of the Services, or any part of them, creates a legally binding agreement between you and us. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS, DOWNLOAD OR ACCEPT THE OFFER, OR USE ANY OF THE SERVICES.
You represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years old. We do not knowingly use the Services to collect information from children under 13 or market the Offer to them. If we learn that a user under 13 has supplied information, we will discard it. If you discover that a child under 13 has given us information, please notify us at info@browsevale.com. Users under 18 should read this policy together with a parent or legal guardian.
Information Collected and Its Uses
We collect aggregated information that does not identify you ("Non-Personal Information") about your device and use of the Services. This includes technical data sent by your device, aggregated Service usage, statistics, browser type and default search preference, operating system type, language, the date and time you access and use the Service, the website that directed you to the Offer, approximate geographic location, Internet Service Provider (ISP), Internet Protocol address (IP), and similar information. Certain jurisdictions may classify some of this data, such as an IP address, as Personal Information. We use Non-Personal Information only to deliver the Service; improve, refine, customize and develop the Services; carry out research; and perform related analysis and statistical work.
When you contact us for support or another matter involving the Offer or your use of the Services, you may voluntarily supply identifying details, such as your name and email address. We may collect those details ("Personal Information") solely to communicate with you and deliver the Service or support you requested.
Where technically possible, we will seek your consent before collecting Personal Information and give you an opportunity to opt out.
Disclosure to Third Parties
We do not share Personal Information with third parties, except that we may disclose it when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) meet an applicable law, regulation or governmental request and cooperate with law enforcement; (ii) enforce our agreements and policies, and establish or exercise our rights in defending legal claims; (iii) investigate, identify, prevent or address illegal activity, other wrongdoing, suspected fraud or security problems; (iv) protect the rights, property or safety of the Company, our users, you or any third party from harm; or (v) enforce intellectual property rights or other legal rights.
Non-Personal Information may be used or shared for the purposes described above for Personal Information, to deliver and improve our Services, and within the Company for business and marketing analysis. In accordance with this Policy, we may also share it with third-party service provider partners, including search feed providers, customer service, marketing assistance, ad tracking, Service functionality and support providers, and other third parties to help us analyze use of the Offer and Services.
We may also disclose your information to a parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures or other companies under common control, but only when applicable or necessary for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. Information may be shared as part of a corporate transaction, such as the sale of a substantial portion of our business, a merger, consolidation or asset sale, provided that the affiliated or acquiring company assumes the rights and obligations described in this Privacy Policy.
When Personal Information is combined with Non-Personal Information, we treat the combined data as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.
If you reside in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), we will take appropriate measures to ensure an adequate level of protection for Personal Information transferred outside the EEA. If your jurisdiction requires consent for a transfer of Personal Information, your acceptance of this Privacy Policy includes your express consent to that transfer.
Use of Cookies
We and our third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics, may use cookies. These small text files are placed on your device by websites you visit. Cookies commonly help websites operate more efficiently, deliver Services and features, and make your interaction with the Offer or Services faster and easier. They can improve your experience by remembering your actions and preferences. Your device or browser settings may allow you to disable certain cookies. Doing so may prevent features of our Services that depend on cookies from working properly.

Content Provided by Third Parties
Third-party services, providers and websites, and your access to or use of them, fall outside this Privacy Policy. Their privacy practices may differ from ours. We do not control their privacy or security practices and policies and are not responsible for those practices. Please carefully read the privacy policy of each applicable third party.
Your Rights
You can uninstall the Offer and reset your device settings whenever you choose.
The data privacy and related laws that apply in your jurisdiction may give you rights concerning Personal Information, such as accessing it or requesting its deletion, correction or amendment. To exercise any such rights, contact info@browsevale.com. We may ask for information needed to confirm your identity and locate your data when handling a request.
You may change your mind after consenting to this Privacy Policy. To opt out of data collection and sharing, adjust your Settings menu. Some of our Services may become unavailable after you opt out.
You may also opt out of certain third-party cookies and browser-enabled tracking through the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website's NAI consumer opt-out and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) website's DAA opt-out page.
Retention and Protection of Data
We keep collected information only as long as needed to accomplish the purposes for which it was gathered. In some circumstances, we may keep it longer, including to satisfy legal or tax requirements or when, in our discretion, we reasonably believe an accurate record of correspondence or dealings with us is needed, such as for a complaint. We use high-security techniques to guard against unauthorized access, use or disclosure, unlawful destruction and accidental loss of your information. Despite our best efforts, complete security cannot be guaranteed, and we are not responsible for unauthorized or unintended access beyond our control. If you believe your privacy has been handled inconsistently with this Policy or reasonably suspect an attempt to misuse our Service, please contact info@browsevale.com.

The Service does not act on Do Not Track signals. Further information about these signals is available at http://www.allaboutdnt.com/.
Revisions to the Terms
At our discretion, we may revise or update these Terms at any time. Amendments take effect when the revised Terms are published, and the Last Modified heading will identify the most recent revision. CONTINUING TO USE THE SERVICES AFTER PUBLICATION MEANS YOU CONSENT TO THE CHANGES AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THEM. PLEASE CHECK OUR TERMS REGULARLY. If material changes adversely affect your use of the Service or our collection of data, we will use our best efforts to notify you through the Service.
