Your privacy is important to us.
Azmarq – Mobile User Information
As part of Azmarq’s services, we may receive information from wireless carriers, operators, or our clients, such as an end user’s mobile phone number. In some limited instances, additional information such as a user’s geographic location, a personal identification number (PIN), or a mailing address is also provided. Additionally, we process message content from our clients which may contain personal information on behalf of a mobile end-user. Azmarq does not create this content nor is it responsible for the content sent or received by our clients or any end user; we are simply the passive conduit through which the content is sent. Regardless, our agreements with our clients ensure that the client has the ultimate responsibility to obtain any and all required “opt-ins” or other consent(s) from end users prior to such information being sent. Any mobile user information collected pursuant to the above is governed by the Azmarq Privacy Policy as well as Azmarq’s internal policies regarding confidential and personally identifiable information. We also include specific provisions in the contracts with our clients to ensure that responsibility for compliance-related obligations and message content is within their control. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact your account manager.

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are files that web servers place on an Internet user’s computer that are designed to store basic information (such as visitor preferences). These allow visitors to the Site to enjoy more seamless visits (for example, by remembering your preferences) and more accurately measure visitor behavior on the Site. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent. Session cookies exist only during an Internet user’s online session. They disappear from the user’s computer when he/she closes the browser software. Persistent cookies remain on the user’s computer after the browser has been closed. The cookies used on the Site do not identify you personally. They merely recognize your browser unless you choose to identify yourself voluntarily. You may choose to identify yourself for any one of the following reasons: by asking the browser to remember your username and password, by responding to a promotional offer, or by personalizing a web page or requesting more information on a product or service. Otherwise, you remain anonymous. Users who disable their Web browsers’ ability to accept cookies will still be able to browse the Site; however, they may lose some of the functionality provided by the use of cookies. Visitors have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you are using a public computer or do not otherwise want this information to be stored, you can select the appropriate button on the sign-in page, and this cookie will not be used. For further information about disabling cookies, you can visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of the Site and services that depend on cookies.
What are Clear GIFs?
Clear GIFs (also known as web beacons) are used in combination with cookies to help Site operators understand how visitors interact with their websites. A clear GIF is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1-pixel x 1-pixel) that is placed on a site. The use of a clear GIF allows the Site to measure the actions of the visitor opening the page that contains the clear GIF. We utilize clear GIFs to measure visitor behavior, to help us improve the visitor experience, and to manage site content. We may use clear GIFs on this Site, in our emails, in our advertisements on other websites, or in our advertisements in others’ emails.
How do we use the information we collect?
Azmarq will share your personal information only in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. Azmarq may use the information collected on the Site to contact you in order to further discuss your interest in our company, our services, and to share information with you regarding our company, such as marketing promotions and events. This information may also be used to improve the services we provide you. The information is collected and stored in a manner that is appropriate for the nature of the data that we collect and will not be shared with third parties unless specifically authorized by you. However, we may need to disclose your personal information to our legal advisers, in order to protect our rights and to preserve the safety of our users, when required to do so by law, or in order to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on the Site. When sharing your personal information, we will take all reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, Azmarq’s internal policies and procedures, and applicable legal requirements.
Security
We employ appropriate technical and organizational security measures at all times to protect the information we collect from you. We use multiple electronic, procedural, and physical security measures to protect against unauthorized or unlawful use or alteration of information, and against any accidental loss, destruction, or damage to information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
