1.Introduction

Purpose. OVALAIR, Inc. (the “Company”) provides products to help eliminate indoor air pollution. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to describe how the Company collects, uses and shares information about you through our online interfaces (e.g., websites and mobile applications (our “Apps”)) owned and controlled by us, including www.Ovalair.com (collectively referred to herein as the “Site”) and through the purchase and use of our products available on our Site (the “Products”). The Site, the Products and the Apps are collectively called the “Services.” Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do. If you do not understand any aspects of our Privacy Policy, please feel free to reach out as described below.

 

Scope; Third Party Sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect at and through the Services. Our Site also contains links to third party sites that are not owned or controlled by us, including sites operated by third-party distributors that sell our products. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personal information.

2.Information we collect and how we collect it

The categories of personal information we collect depend on whether you are a customer, user or visitor and the requirements of applicable law.

 

Account Information. You can provide information to us through our Services when you register at the Site and/or create a OVALAIR account. When you create an account, we collect your e-mail address, name, address, and zip code. If you purchase our product, you will also be asked to provide your credit card or bank account information for purposes of processing payments for products, including any subscriptions for filter auto-refills, through the Payment section of our Website. We do not store your payment account information. Our third-party service provider, Stripe, collects and stores your payment information to provide payment processing services initially and through our filter auto-refills subscription services. If you choose to finance your purchase, you can provide credit application information directly to a third-party bank under their terms and privacy policy.

 

Product Data. The Products may contain sensors that collect certain data about the indoor air quality, such as temperature, humidity, and levels of particulate matter or other pollutants in the air. If you connect a Product to WiFi, the Product may transmit this indoor air quality data on an ongoing basis to our servers while your Product remains connected and we will retain and process this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We also may collect and maintain information about the filter status for your Product.

 

Completing Surveys. If you decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information, which may include personal information.

 

Engaging with Us on Social Media. We may offer opportunities to participate in forums, reviews, blogs, or social media pages. Any content you provide on these channels will be considered “public” and may be available to other users and the general public.

 

Information We Collect Automatically. We collect certain information automatically as you use our Services such as your IP address, browser type, computer or device type, unique device identifiers, operating system version, the website from where you navigated to our Site, time and date of using our Site, the pages on our Site that you view, and the name of your Internet service provider (ISP).

 

Location Information. We may collect and store information about your location. For example, when you visit or use our Site or App, we may approximate your location based on your IP address, or we may collect information about your location through GPS, WiFi, wireless network triangulation or other method if you allow the Services to access location services on your device. If you connect the Products to WiFi, we may collect location information based on WiFi or IP address. We may use this information to improve the Services and to personalize our Services for you. If you do not want us to collect location information, you may be able to adjust your browser or device settings to disable location collection, though we may still approximate your general location based on other data.

 

Communications with Us. If you contact us to inquire about our products, to join a mailing list, for product support, or register to receive a newsletter we may offer, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and postal address when you request information about our Services.

 

Information from Other Sources. We occasionally may receive personal information from our third-party distributors in connection with customer support requests related to OVALAIR products purchased through these distributors. We may obtain personal information about you from other sources, including through third party services and organizations to supplement information provided by you. For example, if you access our Site, Apps or Products through a third-party application, such as an app store, a third-party login service, or a social networking site, we may collect information about you from that third-party application. The information we receive from these third parties is dependent on the applicable third party’s policies and your privacy settings on that third party service, and could include information such as your name, your user identification number, your user name, location, gender, birth date, email, profile picture, and your contacts stored in that service or any other information you permit the third party application to share with third parties. Similarly, if you use a third party login service through a social network or authentication service such as Facebook or Google, these services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share personal information with us, which could include your name, email address or other information. We or our payment processors may also be provided with other information about you from third parties, such as demographic information, credit reference or fraud prevention information, and updated payment information or payment methods related to your purchases of our Products, consistent with applicable law. This supplemental information allows us to verify information that you have provided to us and to enhance our ability to provide you with the Services and provide you with information about our business, products, and services.

Through our Services, we may allow third party advertising partners to set technologies and other tracking tools to collect information regarding your activities and your device (e.g., your IP address, mobile identifiers, page(s) visited, location, time of day). We may also combine and share such information and other information (such as demographic information and past purchase history) with third party advertising partners , subject to applicable law. These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit third party websites within their networks or on other devices you may use. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.” We may allow access to other data collected by the Services to share information that may be useful, relevant, valuable or otherwise of interest to you.

 

You can learn more about targeted advertising and privacy and learn more about your choices at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/, https://youradchoices.ca/choices/, and www.aboutads.info/choices/. To separately make choices for mobile apps on a mobile device, you can download DAA’s AppChoices application from your device’s app store. Alternatively, for some devices you may use your device’s platform controls in your settings to exercise choice, such as by selecting “limit ad tracking” (iOS) or “opt-out of interest based ads” (Android).

 

Please note that exercising your choices through the network advertising link above will only apply to interest based ads on that specific browser or device. You must separately opt out in each browser and on each device that you use. Some of these opt-outs may not be effective unless your browser is set to accept cookies. If you delete cookies, change your browser settings, switch browsers or computers or use another operating system, you will need to exercise those choices again.

 

Advertisements on third party websites that contain the AdChoices link may have been directed to you based on information collected by advertising partners over time and across websites. These advertisements provide a mechanism to opt out of the advertising partners’ use of this information for interest-based advertising purposes. Please note that if you choose to opt out, you will continue to see ads on our Site, but they will not be based on how you browse and shop.
