We collect your personal information in order to provide and continually improve our products and services.

We collect the following types of personal information:

  • Information You Give Us in relation to CleverArium Services (See Examples Of Information Collected). You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of some of our CleverArium Services.
  • Automatically collected and stored information of certain types about your use of CleverArium Services, including information about your interaction with content and services available through CleverArium Services. Like many websites, we may  use “cookies” and other unique identifiers, and we may obtain certain types of information when your web browser or device accesses CleverArium Services and other content served by or on behalf of CleverArium on other websites(See Examples Of Information Collected).
  • Information from Other Sources about you, such as updated delivery and address information from our carriers, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase more easily(See Examples Of Information Collected).

Purposes For Which CleverArium Might Use Your Personal Information

We use your personal information to operate, provide, develop, and improve our products and services that we offer to our customers, including:

  • Purchase and delivery of products and services, which includes taking and handling orders, delivering products and services, processing payments, and communicating with you about orders, products and services, and promotional offers.
  • Provide, troubleshoot, and improve CleverArium Services, which includes providing functionality, analyzing performance, fixing errors, and improving the usability and effectiveness of the CleverArium Services.
  • Recommendations and personalization, which includes use of  your personal information to recommend features, products, and services that might be of interest to you, identify your preferences, and personalize your experience with CleverArium Services.
  • Comply with legal obligations, which in certain cases, we will collect and use your personal information to comply with laws.
  • Communicate with you, which includes using your personal information to communicate with you in relation to CleverArium Services via different channels (e.g., by phone, email, chat).
  • Display interest-based advertising, which includes ads for features, products, and services that might be of interest to you. We will not use information that personally identifies you to display interest-based ads(See Examples Of Information Collected)
  • Preventing Fraud  and Credit Risks,  which includes information to prevent and detect fraud and abuse in order to protect the security of our customers, CleverArium, and others. Scoring methods may also be used to assess and manage credit risks.

Sharing Your Personal Information

We are not in the business of selling our customers’ personal information to others. We share customers’ personal information only as described below and with subsidiaries which CleverArium, LLC controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

  • Transactions involving Third Parties:We may make available to you services, products, applications, or skills provided by third parties for use on or through CleverArium Services. For example, you may be able to order products from third parties through our website or  download applications from third-party application providers from our website. We also may offer services or sell product lines jointly with third-party businesses. You can tell when a third party is involved in your transactions, and we share customers’ personal information related only to those transactions with that third party.
  • Third-Party Service Providers:We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders for products or services, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing payments, transmitting content, scoring, assessing and managing credit risk, and providing customer service. These third-party service providers have access to only the personal information needed to perform their functions, and may not use it for any other purpose.
  • Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the event that CleverArium, LLC or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
  • Protection of CleverArium and Others:We release only certain account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of CleverArium, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Other than as set out above, you will receive notification  when personal information about you might be shared with third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

Your Information Security

Our systems are designed with your security and privacy in mind.

  • We diligently work to protect the security of your personal information during transmission, which may include the use of encryption protocols and software.
  • We follow the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) when handling credit card data.
  • We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage, and disclosure of personal customer information. This requires that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
  • Our devices offer security features to protect them against unauthorized access and loss of data.
  • It is important that  you protect against unauthorized access to your passwords and to your computers, devices, and applications. Always be sure to sign off of the computing device when finished using a  computer, especially one that is shared.

About Our Advertising

  • Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites: CleverArium Services may include third-party advertising and links to other websites and apps. Third-party advertising partners may collect information about you when you interact with their content, advertising, and services. Interest-based ads may sometimes be used and are sometimes referred to as personalized or targeted ads. We may show interest-based ads to display features, products, and services that might be of interest to you. In providing interest-based ads, we follow the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance (a coalition of marketing, online advertising, and consumer advocacy organizations).  To serve you interest-based ads, we may use information such as your interactions with CleverArium, content, or services. We do not use information which on its own identifies you, such as name or e-mail address, to serve interest-based ads.  We may work with third parties, such as advertisers, publishers, social media networks, search engines, ad serving companies, and advertising companies working on their behalf, to improve the relevance of ads we serve. In providing you interest-based ads we do not associate your interactions on unaffiliated sites with information which on its own identifies you, such as name or email address, and we do not provide any such information to advertisers or to third-party sites that display our interest-based ads. Advertisers and other third parties may assume that users who interact with or click on an interest-based ad or content are part of the group that the ad or content is directed towards (for example, users in a particular geographical area or users who purchased or browsed for aquarium controllers). Some third-parties may provide us pseudonymized information about you (such as demographic information or sites where you have been shown ads) from offline and online sources that we may use to provide you more relevant and useful advertising.
  • Third party advertisers or advertising companies working on their behalf sometimes use cookies in the process of delivering content, including ads, directly to your browser or device, and they may automatically receive an IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies to measure the effectiveness of their ads, show you more relevant advertising content, and perform services on behalf of CleverArium. For information on how to control and delete cookies (including third party cookies) please About Cookies for further information.
  • As is common in the advertising industry, we use cookies, pixels, and other technologies (collectively, “cookies”), which enable us to understand the effectiveness of the interest-based ads we show you by measuring what ads are clicked or viewed, and to provide you with more useful and relevant ads. For example, if we know what ads are shown to your browser we can be careful not to show the same ads repeatedly.
  • Use of Third-Party Advertising Services: We may provide ad companies with information that allows them to serve you with more useful and relevant CleverArium ads and to measure their effectiveness. We never share your name or other information that directly identifies you when we do this. Instead, we use an advertising identifier like a cookie or other device identifier. For example, if you have already downloaded our game application, we might share your advertising identifier and data about that event so that you will not be served an ad to download the app again. Some ad companies also use this information to serve you relevant ads from other advertisers.
