Account Information. If a customer creates an Account, CUJO will collect certain information that can be used to identify the customer, such as his or her name, email address, postal address and phone number. If the customer creates an Account through CUJO’s website, CUJO may also collect customer gender, date of birth and other information.
Information Collected Using Cookies and other Web Technologies. Like many website owners and operators, CUJO uses automated data collection tools on its website, such as cookies and Web Beacons, to collect certain information.
“Cookies” are small text files that are placed on a customer device by a Web server when a customer accesses our Services. CUJO may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to identify that a customer has logged in to the Services and to tell CUJO how and when the customer interacts with the Services. CUJO may also use cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Services and to customize and improve our Services. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted when a customer logs off from the Services and closes his or her browser. Although most browsers automatically accept cookies, the customer can change his or her browser options to stop automatically accepting cookies or to prompt customer before accepting cookies. However, if the customer doesn’t accept cookies, he or she may not be able to access all portions or features of our Services.

This Privacy Policy covers only customer use of CUJO’s cookies and not third parties’ cookies.
“Web Beacons” (also known as Web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on the Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with cookies, to track and measure the performance of the Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Services, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail.

We use Log Data to administer the Services and We analyze (and may engage third parties to analyze) Log Data to improve, customize and enhance our Services by expanding their features and functionality and tailoring them to our Users’ needs and preferences.
As part of the Services, our hardware devices collect and transmit traffic identifying information. We store this information for up to thirty days on our servers.

We collect certain information that a customer’s mobile device sends when he or she uses our Services, like the device identifier (aka MAC address), user settings and the operating system of the customer device, as well as information about customer’s use of our Services.
Location Information. When a customer uses our mobile App, We may collect and store information about the customer’s location by converting his or her IP address into a rough geo-location or by accessing the customer mobile device’s GPS coordinates or approximate location if the customer enables location services on his or her device. We may use location information to improve and personalize our services for customer. If customer does not want us to collect location information, he or she may disable that feature on the mobile device. The customer agrees and acknowledges that it has been informed about this the foregoing.
