A Note to Users Outside of the United States.

Types of Information

“Personal Information” is information that you provide to us that personally identifies you, such as your name, phone number or email address. Except as described below, Reactive Phone does not collect or require users of the Website, Services or Application to provide Personal Information.

“Non-Personal Information” is information that cannot be directly associated with a specific person or entity. Non-Personal Information includes but is not limited to your computer’s configuration and the version of Application that you use.

“Potentially Personal Information” is information that is Non-Personal Information in and of itself, but that could be used in conjunction with other information to personally identify you. For example, Uniform Resource Locators (“URLs”) (the addresses of web pages) or Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses (the addresses of computers on the Internet), which are Non-Personal Information in and of themselves, could be Personal Information when combined with Internet service provider (“ISP”) records.

“Aggregate Data” is information that is recorded about users and collected into groups so that it no longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user.

Information the Application Sends to Websites and ISPs

The Application, like other web browsers, sends Non-Personal Information and Potentially Personal Information to the websites you visit when requested by such website. This may include the type of browser you are using, the type of device you are using (desktop or mobile), your language preference, the referring site, and your IP address, as well as unique advertising id (GAD on Android devices and IFA on iOS devices). This information may be logged by the websites you visit and the internet service provider (“ISP”) you use. What information is logged and how that information is used varies based on the policies of each individual website you visit and the ISPs you use.

Each website determines its own privacy practices for the distribution and use of this Non-Personal Information and Potentially Personal Information. If you care about how a website will use this information, you should check the privacy policy for that website.

Information we collect when you use the Application

You do not need to provide any Personal Information in order to download and use the Application. When you download the Application or use the Application, Website or the Services, we receive only standard Non-Personal Information that web browsers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Reactive Phone’s purpose for collecting Non-Personal Information is to better understand how Reactive Phone’s visitors use the Application. From time to time, Reactive Phone may release Non-Personally Information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its Website.

Reactive Phone has and may from time to time partner with third party service providers (such as search result providers, advertising partners, etc.) to directly integrate or bundle certain features and services into or with the Application, which may or may not include switching default search result providers, in order to make your online experiences more convenient, richer and more personalized. Such third party services providers may collect information, and inform you about what information it collects, in accordance with its own terms of service, privacy policy, and other applicable policies. By agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you hereby authorize us to pass certain information to such third party service providers. For example, any information you include in a search query will be passed along to the applicable third party search result provider; such information may include Personal Information to the extent that you include any such information in your search query or otherwise provide such information to the third party service provider directly. You acknowledge and agree that Reactive Phone shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any third party site or service or provider that may be used or enabled in the Application, including without limitation, Yahoo or any other search result provider. If you are using a version of the Application enabled with Yahoo search results, we encourage you to review the Yahoo terms of service located at https://info.yahoo.com/terms/us/yahoo/ and privacy policy located at https://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/ in addition to any other relevant terms made available by Yahoo from time to time.

In addition, some Application features/services may send limited additional information to Reactive Phone including:

Search URL:

This is Non-Personal Information. When you type URLs or queries in the address bar, the letters you type are sent to your default search engine, so that the search engine’s autocomplete/prediction feature can automatically recommend terms or URLs you may be looking for. If a default search engine is provided on your version of the Smart Search & Web Browser, then the Application will contact your default search engine when it starts or when you change networks so as to determine the best local address to send search queries. For example, if Yahoo is set as the default search engine, then unless you change this default setting, the Application will contact Yahoo as described herein. When you type URLs or queries in the Application, the letters you type may be sent to the applicable search engine so that the search engine’s prediction feature can automatically recommend terms or URLs you may be looking for, if applicable. If you accept a predicted query or URL, the Application may send that information to the applicable search engine you choose as well. The privacy policies of the third party search engine providers apply with respect to any information you provide to them (including, without limitation, information you provide through the Application). Please review those policies carefully before providing them with any Personal Information.

Crash-Reporting Feature:

This is Non-Personal Information. The Application has a crash-reporting feature that sends a log report to Reactive Phone’s support when the Application crashes. Reactive Phone uses the information in the crash reports to diagnose and correct the problems in the Application that caused the crash. Though this feature starts automatically after the Application crashes, it does not send information to Reactive Phone until you explicitly authorize it to do so. By default, this feature sends a variety of Non-Personal Information to Reactive Phone, including the stack trace (a detailed description of which parts of the Application code were active at the time of the crash), the type of mobile device you are using, and the Application crash frequency data.

Enable Location Feature:

This is Non-Personal Information. This feature remains inoperative until you visit a website that requests your location and you choose to opt in to the feature. If you elect not to use the feature, the Application will not send information about your location to such website. Each time you visit such website, the Application will ask you if you want it to provide the site with your current location. Additionally, you may elect to have the Application remember your choice to allow or not allow the feature for each site. You are able to opt out at any time of having the Application remember your choice, just like any other preference setting. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement or the applicable third party service provider’s policies, we only permit our third party providers that are acting on our behalf (as opposed to search results providers) to use this information in connection with the service(s) they are providing to us. They are required to ensure that any information collected on our behalf is anonymized and aggregated before they are permitted to use such information to develop new features or products and services, or to improve the overall quality of their products and services. This means that they are required to ensure that your IP address and unique identifier of your Application will be stripped out before being used by any of our third party provider’s other products or features. For more information on how our geolocation services providers use information sent by the Application, please see the privacy policy links in our list of third party service providers.
