Privacy Commitment

Our commitment is to put users first.  We strive to be transparent about how we collect and use your information, to keep your information secure and to provide you meaningful choices.  This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what information INR Consulting, its affiliates and its house of global brands (“INR Consulting,” “us,” “our” or “we”) collect, why we collect it and what we do with it. This policy applies to INR Consulting brands, websites, apps, advertising services, products, services or technologies (we’ll collectively refer to these as “Services”).

Your Controls

We believe you should have tools to control your information. You can find controls to manage or review your account information, marketing preferences, location data, and search history at Privacy Controls.  Some of our Services provide additional controls and privacy practices.  (See, Details for Specific Products and Services)

  • When you use our Services to communicate with others or post, upload or store content (such as comments, photos, voice inputs, videos, emails, messaging services and attachments).

  • We collect information when you access content, advertising, sites, interactive widgets, applications, and other products (both on and off of our Services) where INR Consulting’s data collection technologies (such as web beacons, development tools, cookies and other technologies, etc.) are present. These data collection technologies allow us to understand your activity on and off our Services and to collect and store information when you interact with Services we offer to partners.
  • This information also includes the kind of content or ads served, viewed or clicked on; the frequency and duration of your activities; the sites or apps you used before accessing our Services and where you went next; whether you engaged with specific content or ads; and whether you went on to visit an advertiser’s website, downloaded an advertiser’s app, purchased a product or service advertised, or took other actions.

  • From publicly-available sources.
  • From advertisers about your experiences or interactions with their offerings.
  • When we obtain information from third-parties or other companies, such as those that use our Services. This may include your activity on other sites and apps as well as information those third-parties provide to you or us. 
  • We may also receive information from Verizon and will honor the choices Verizon customers have made about the uses of this information when we receive and use this data.

How We Use This Information

We are able to deliver, personalize, and improve our Services by combining and using the information we have about you (including information we receive on and off our Services) to understand how you use and interact with our Services and the people or things you’re connected to and interested in.  We also may use the information we have about you for the following purposes: 

• Provide, maintain, improve, and develop relevant features, content, and Services.

• Fulfill your requests and when authorized by you. 
• Help advertisers and publishers connect to offer relevant advertising in their apps and websites.

• Contact you with information about your account or with marketing messages, which you can also control.

• Carry out or support promotions.
• Conduct research and support innovation. 
• Create analytics and reports for external parties, including partners, publishers, advertisers, apps, third-parties and the public regarding the use of and trends within our Services and ads, including showing trends to partners regarding general preferences, the effectiveness of ads and information on user experiences. These analytics and reports may include aggregate or pseudonymized information.

We provide you with controls to manage your experience with us.  For example, you can review or edit your account information, manage your marketing preferences, or opt out of targeted ads.  If you opt out, you will continue to see ads, but they may not be as relevant or useful to you. 

How We Share This Information

INR Consulting shares information within its affiliated brands and companies and with Verizon.  We also share information we have about you for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide Services that you have requested (including when you connect with third-party apps and widgets).  We do not sell, license or share information that individually identifies our customers with companies, organizations or individuals outside of INR Consulting unless one of the following circumstances applies:

• With Your Consent.  We will share information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of INR Consulting when we have your consent. 
• With Verizon.  As part of Verizon, INR Consulting and its affiliates may, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with user controls, share information with Verizon and Verizon affiliates. This information will be used consistent with Verizon’s privacy policy.    
• Within INR Consulting.  Information may also be shared within INR Consulting, including with other INR Consulting Services and affiliates.  INR Consulting affiliates may use the information in a manner consistent with their privacy policies.
• With Partners.  We may share your information with nonaffiliated companies who are:
  • Trusted Partners.  We provide user information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with INR Consulting based on our directions and in compliance with appropriate confidentiality measures.  Learn more. 
  • Advertising, Analytics and Business Partners (Limited to Non-Personally Identifiable Information).  We may share aggregated or pseudonymous information (including demographic information) with partners, such as publishers, advertisers, measurement analytics, apps, or other companies.  For example, we may tell an advertiser how its ads performed or report how many people installed an app after seeing a promotion.  We do not share information that personally identifies you (personally identifiable information is information like name or email address) with these partners, such as publishers, advertisers, measurement analytics, apps, or other companies.
    When you use third-party apps, websites or other products integrated with our Services, they may collect information about your activities subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
    We allow other companies that show advertisements on our webpages or apps to collect information from your browsers or devices.  Other companies’ use of cookies and other data collection technologies are subject to their own privacy policies, not this one.  Like many companies, we may allow cookie matching with select partners.  But, these parties are not authorized to access INR Consulting cookies.  
• For Legal and Other Purposes.  We may access, preserve and disclose information to investigate, prevent, or take action in connection with: (i) legal process and legal requests; (ii) enforcement of the Terms; (iii) claims that any content violates the rights of third-parties; (iv) requests for customer service; (v) technical issues; (vi) protecting the rights, property or personal safety of INR Consulting, its users or the public; (vii) establishing or exercising our legal rights or defending against legal claims; or (viii) as otherwise required by law.
  • This may include responding to lawful governmental requests.  Learn more about how we evaluate and respond to these requests.
