The specificity of the location data collected may depend on a number of factors, including the device you are using (e.g. laptop, smartphone or tablet) and how you are connected to the Internet (e.g., via cable broadband connection, WiFi). If you enable location services for our mobile application, we may collect location data periodically as you use or leave open our mobile application. We may associate such location data with Personal Information you provide to us.

Where this is the case, we will inform you of specific details in response to your request.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

We have put in place commercially reasonable technical and organizational procedures to safeguard the information and Personal Information we collect on the Sites.

13. How We Protect Personal Information

Azuga maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the user's Personal Information and other information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. For example, we and/or our service providers use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and Secure Socket Layer software (SSL) or hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) to protect Personal Information.   

Although we take reasonable steps designed to protect your Personal Information, please be advised that no security system or means of transmitting data over the Internet can be guaranteed to be entirely secure (including without limitation with respect to computer viruses, malicious software and hacker attacks).  We cannot and do not guarantee or warrant the security of your Personal Information or any information you disclose or transmit to us.  We are not responsible for the acts of those who gain unauthorized access, and we make no warranty, express, implied or otherwise, that we will prevent such access, and we are not responsible for any damages or liabilities relating to any such incidents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Where required under law, we will notify you of any such loss, misuse or alteration of Personal Information that may affect you so that you can take the appropriate actions.

For your own privacy protection, we urge you to keep all passwords confidential.  We also recommend that you do not include sensitive information such as passwords, social security numbers or payment information, in any emails that you send to us. If you become aware of any breach of the terms of this Privacy Policy or of the security of the Services, please notify us by email at privacy@azuga.com.

14. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 16 years of age. We do not intentionally gather Personal Information about visitors who are under the age of 16. If a child has provided us with Personal Information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us to have the information deleted from our records. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 16 in the applicable jurisdiction, please contact us privacy@azuga.com. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected the Personal Information of a child under 16, or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible in accordance with applicable law.

15. Direct Marketing and “Do Not Track” Signals

Azuga does not track its users over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser may include controls to block and delete cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, to allow you to opt out of data collection through those technologies.

California residents are entitled to contact us to request information about whether we have disclosed Personal Information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Under the California “Shine the Light” law, California residents may opt-out of our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. You may choose to opt-out of the sharing of your Personal Information with third parties for marketing purposes. To make such a request you should send (a) an email to privacy@azuga.com with the subject heading “California Privacy Rights,” or (b) a letter addressed to Azuga, Inc., Attention: Privacy Policy Inquiry, 42840 Christy St. #205, Fremont, CA 94538.   In your request, please attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the California privacy rights requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.  We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted to addresses other than the addresses specified in this paragraph.

16. Text Messaging Terms & Conditions

By opting in to receive text messages from Azuga, Inc. (hereinafter, “We,” “Us,” “Our”) (the “Service”), you agree to these Text Messaging Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”). Your participation in the Service is also subject to the remainder to this Privacy Policy and any other applicable terms and agreements related to your use of Our services. This Agreement is not intended to modify other terms or  the Privacy Policy that may govern the relationship between you and Us in other contexts.

  1. Your Consent to Receive Automated Calls/Texts: You acknowledge that by opting in to receive text messages and voluntarily providing your telephone number(s), you expressly agree to receive ongoing recurring automated text messages (such as SMS, MMS, or successor protocols or technologies) from, or on behalf of, Us that may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system related to a variety of purposes, including, without limitation the marketing and sale of Our products, services, offers, promotions, and events, as well as your relationship with Us, including your orders and the products and services that you have inquired about. You understand that consent is not required to make any purchase from Us. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary.
  2. Providing Telephone Numbers and Duty to Notify: You verify that the mobile number provided to Us is true and accurate and that you are the current subscriber or owner of any telephone number that you provide. 
  3. Opt Out Instructions: Your consent to receive automated texts is completely voluntary. You may opt-out at any time. To opt out of text messages, reply “STOP” to any mobile message from Us. You may also text “HELP” for help. You acknowledge and agree to accept a final text message confirming your opt-out. We may use different shortcodes for different messaging purposes, so texting STOP” to one shortcode will not effectuate a stop request for all shortcodes to which you are subscribed. If you would like to stop messages from multiple shortcodes, text “STOP” to each shortcode to which you would like to unsubscribe.
  4. Indemnification to Us:  You agree to indemnify Us for any privacy, tort or other claims, including claims under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act or any state law equivalents, including claims relating to your voluntary provision of a telephone number that is not owned by you and/or your failure to notify Us of any changes in your mobile telephone number. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against any and all such claims, losses, liability, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).
  5.  Participation Requirements:  By participating in the Service, you acknowledge and agree that you are eighteen (18) years or older or are of the age of majority in your jurisdiction. You must have a wireless device of your own, capable of two-way messaging, be using a participating wireless carrier, and be a wireless service subscriber with text messaging service. Not all cellular phone providers carry the necessary service to participate. Please check your phone capabilities for specific text-messaging instructions.
  6. Termination of Text Messaging:  We may suspend or terminate your receipt of text messages if We believe you are in breach of this Agreement. Your receipt of text messages from Us is also subject to termination if your mobile telephone service terminates or lapses. We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any part of Our text messages, with or without notice.
  7. Miscellaneous:  You represent and warrant to Us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time by updating this page, and such updates will be effective immediately upon posting. You acknowledge your responsibility to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to participate in the Service after any such changes, you accept this Agreement, as modified.
  8. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

17. Privacy Policy Modifications

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services or programs, email notification or privacy policy changes). We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.
