Pocket Bits LLC (“us” or “we”) is committed to protecting your online privacy. This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for the Pocket Bits LLC apps and website. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully to learn what information we collect from you and how we use that information.
Information We Collect
We collect personally identifiable information (“personal information”) and non-personally identifiable information (“non-personal information”).
Personal information is information that identifies a specific user. When you engage in certain activities that we make available on our App or Site, such as opening an account, submitting or posting content, or entering a contest, we may ask you to provide certain personal information, such as your name and email address. While you can chose whether to engage in any such activity, if you do not provide required information, you may not be allowed to engage in that activity.
Non-personal information is information that does not identify a specific user. This type of information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the websites you visited before and after coming to our Site and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. We and our authorized third-party service providers and ad servers may automatically collect this information when you visit our Site, as described in more detail below.
We collect certain information from your mobile device, including but not limited to the following:
Location Information that allows us to periodically determine your location, including your location relative to and within third party merchant locations.
Device and Usage Information that may include (i) information specific to your mobile device (g., make, model, operating system, advertising identifier and similar information); (ii) information about your use of features, functions, or notifications on the device; and (iii) signal strength relating to WiFi or Bluetooth functionality, temperature, battery level, and similar technical data.
We may collect this information even if you are not logged in to the application.
[For iOS: You should be able to adjust the settings on your iOS mobile device to prevent our collection of Location Information by disabling the location services feature on your device.]
[For Android: You should be able to adjust your settings on your Android mobile device to prevent our collection of Location Information be disabling Bluetooth and Location.]
How We Use the Information We Collect
We use the information we collect in the following ways:
For purposes for which you provided the information;
- To enhance the operation of our Site and allow us to personalize content and advertising;
- To troubleshoot and accomplish other administrative tasks;
- To analyze our user base and usage trends; and
- To enforce our Site Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities.
- To provide you with information when you enter participating local venues;
Sharing of Your Personal Information
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not share your personal information.
We share the information we collect with third-party business partners who commit to comply with applicable laws concerning their usage of the information. Our third-party business partners may share the information with their own third party business partners and use the information either for themselves or on behalf of their own business partners to:
Operate and improve their services;
Provide you with advertisements and information for products and services in this app or on other apps or websites based on variables such as your location, and assess your level of engagement with them; and
Carry out other purposes that are disclosed to you and to which you consent.
If you want to opt out of having these third parties use or transfer your information for interest-based advertising, please click here to download the TRUSTe Opt-Out. Because the TRUSTe Opt-Out relies on the device’s advertising identifier, you will need to opt out again if you reset the advertising identifier for your device.
We may share your information in a Business Transfer. As with any other business, we could merge with or be acquired by another company. If this occurs, the successor company would acquire the information we maintain, including both personal and non-personal information. However, all of your information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.
We may share your information for our Protection and the Protection of Others. We may share personal and non-personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce this Privacy Policy, our Site Terms and Conditions or other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of our Site, its users or others.
Cookies and Other Tracking Devices
To facilitate and customize your experience with our Site, we may place cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer that stores non-personal information about that user. We use cookies to save you time while using our Site and remind us who you are. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may be able to modify your browser settings to decline or delete cookies. Please note that if you decline or delete these cookies, some parts of our Site may not work properly.
We may use a third-party analytic company to track and analyze non-personal usage information. In addition, we may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Site. These companies may place cookies on your computer in order to deliver targeted advertisements. If you would like to opt-out of such collection by our third-party analytic contractor, please visit: http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. If you would like to opt-out of such collection by third-party advertising servers that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, please visit: http://www.networkadvertising.org/consumer/opt_out.asp.
Third-Party Web Beacons: We use third-party web beacons from Yahoo! to help analyze where visitors go and what they do while visiting our website. Yahoo! may also use anonymous information about your visits to this and other websites in order to improve its products and services and provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by Yahoo!, click here.
We may use other industry-standard technologies like pixel tags and other web beacons to track your use of our Site. Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on certain pages on our Site or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, pixel tags and web beacons generate a non-personally identifiable notice of that action. Pixel tags allow us to measure user volume and behavior, and permit us to measure the performance of our promotions.
Updating and Correcting Information
We encourage you to promptly update your personal information if it changes. If you have entered your email in one of our opt-in forms in an app, please update it.

You can let us know that you do not wish to receive promotional emails from us when you open an account with us. In addition, you can opt-out of promotional emails at any time after you open an account by: (1) hitting the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of any of these emails.
Security of Personal Information
We take security seriously and take numerous precautions to protect the security of your personal information. Your personal information resides on a secure server that only selected personnel and contractors have access to. We encrypt certain sensitive information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure that your personal information is safe as it is transmitted to us.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect data and seek to partner with companies which do the same, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from our Site, and are not responsible for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such information.

We may make content or services from other sites available to you from links located on our Site. These other sites are not subject to this Privacy Policy. We recommend that you review the privacy policy at each such site to determine how that site protects your privacy.
