Adknown Inc Privacy Policy

This privacy policy was last amended August 2019.

Adknown Inc, (“Adknown” or “we”) takes online privacy very seriously and we respect the concerns of our users regarding their privacy. This policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes how information is collected, how the information is used and how the information may be shared through the use of Adknown’s products, mobile applications, services and websites (together “Services”).

This type of information is only collected if you choose to provide it when you participate in contests, sweepstakes, and other promotions or sign-up for our newsletters.

You may also choose to provide PII when you participate in surveys’ forums, discussions, or other interactive services. Please be aware that information posted to these services may be viewed, or captured, by other visitors of the Service. You should avoid posting sensitive information you would not want to be available to the public.

This information may include: IP addresses, characteristics of operating system, browser and system settings, unique device identifiers, clickstream data (the page-by-page web browsing path), and other information that is, generally, not considered PII.
