Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may be able to change the settings to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether; If you set your browser to reject cookies, parts of our Site may not work for you.

 

We use or may use session and persistent cookies, log file, device identifiers, location data and clear gifs information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) to provide and monitor the effectiveness of our Service; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems; (f) help you efficiently access your information after you sign in; (g) to provide advertising to your browser or device;(h) automatically update the NuBryte application on your mobile devices, and (g) otherwise enhance our services.

Information we may receive from third parties:

We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you access our websites or Service through a third-party connection or log-in, for example, through Facebook Connect, by “following,” “liking,” adding the NuBryte Application, linking your account to the LUCIS service, etc., that third party may pass certain information about your use of its service to LUCIS. This information could include, but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account (for example, your Facebook UID), an access token necessary to access that service, any information that you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that service. If you allow us access to your friends list, your friends’ user IDs, and your connection to those friends, may be used and stored to make your experience more social, and to allow you to invite your friends to use our Service as well as provide you with updates if and when your friends join LUCIS. You should always review, and if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the LUCIS service. You may also unlink your third party account from the Service by adjusting your settings on the third party service.

 

Device identifiers:

When you access the Service by or through a mobile device (including but not limited to smart-phones or tablets), we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers,” such as a universally unique identifier (“UUID”). Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by LUCIS. A device identifier may convey information to us about how you browse and use the Service. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Service. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

When you access the Service by or through a mobile device, we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store “location data,” which may include GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device.

Some features of the Service, particularly location-based services, may not function properly if use or availability of location data is impaired or disabled.

 

Commercial and marketing communications:

We use the information we collect or receive, such as your email address, to communicate directly with you. We may send you emails containing newsletters, promotions, and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you will be given the option to opt out or change your preferences. We also use your information to send you Service-related emails (e.g., account verification, purchase and billing confirmations and reminders, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). You may not opt out of Service-related emails.

 

Sharing of Your Information

We will not rent or sell your information into third parties outside LUCIS and its group companies (including any parent, subsidiaries and affiliates) without your consent, except as noted below:

 

Who we may share your information with:

• We may share your information with affiliates, third-party business partners and Trusted Users for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

• We may share aggregated, anonymized or otherwise non-personal customer data publicly and with our partners. For example, we may publish trends about energy use for other NuBryte users to better understand their consumption, build awareness, and improve our Service.

• With your consent: We may share personal information when we have your consent. One example of this would be if you sign up through our website for a special 3rd party promotion or offer. If you do this, we may share certain information with the partner. This could include things like your enrollment information and the activation status of your device. In the event that you choose to connect third-party devices and services to your LUCIS Products, you are shown information about any proposed exchange of data. Your explicit consent is required to allow this exchange on your behalf and may be revoked at any time.

• If we are acquired by or merged with another company, or if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another company, your personal information may be among the items sold or transferred. We will request a purchaser to treat our data under the privacy statement in place at the time of the collection.

 

Who can see User Generated Content:

Any User Content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to the Service becomes available to the public and cannot be removed, except by LUCIS in its sole discretion. Once posted on any LUCIS Site, User Content may not be removable from public view, as copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Service, on other sites that have republished us, or if other Users have copied or saved that information. If you do not wish your User Content to be available to the public, please don’t post it on our Site or Service. Your username and if you choose to disclose it, your real name, will be published publicly. Once published your username and / or real name may not be able to be removed.

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from LUCIS, at all times. However, LUCIS cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to LUCIS or guarantee that information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
