1.1.4. Location information such as time-zone settings and device location.

1.1.5. Online browsing activities through the Service such as webpages visited, and electronic network activity information such as type of device, software or hardware that may identify them, such as online identifiers, device unique identifiers (e.g., UDID, MAC address), IP address).

1.1.6. Financial information such as your choice of financial vendors.

Novada Tech may also collect certain unidentified, non-personal information that relates to online browsing activities through the use of the Services (the “Non-Personal Information”). Non-personal information is non-identifiable information that, when taken alone, cannot be used to identify a specific individual. As such, we are not aware of the identity of the user from which the Non-Personal Information was collected. We also collect aggregate user data regarding the use of our Services. We may anonymize or de-identify the information collected through the Service or via other means so that the information cannot, on its own, personally identify a specific individual. Our use and disclosure of such aggregated or de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation and for any purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, if we combine Personal Information with Non-personal Information (e.g., analytical data), the combined information will be treated as Personal Information so long as it remains combined.

When you access and use the Services (whether as a visitor, Developer or a potential candidate applying for a job), we may get access to Information that is shared through your use of the Services. This may include, for example, your IP address, your wallet address (public keys) or your browsing activities on our Website, your first and last name, email address and other identifiers as relevant.

The particular Information categories we shall processes when such Developers use our Services, and the reasons we process such Information, may vary, depending on the tools and features used by such Developers when utilizing our Services. This means that when the user is a Developer’s end user, the scope of the Information collected by us will be defined by the Developer and in such cases, it is the Developer’s exclusive responsibility to explain such end users which information will be collected and processed, how such information will be collected, processed and shared, and by whom, as well as obtaining their consent as legally required for such activities. Information that Developers may require, can include the end user’s username , and in some cases, this may include their first and last name, date of birth, phone number, email address, security questions and answers, and one-time password (OTP) to help verify your identity and connect your accounts.

Like most websites and online Services, our Service uses “cookies” to collect Information. “Cookies” are small text files containing strings of letters and numbers that are downloaded onto your device (such as, computer, tablet or smartphone) when you use the Service. These files allow to store Information about you. Some “cookies” will expire when you exit the Service, and others will be saved in your device’s memory. If you want to disable or change your “cookies” settings, you will have to access your device’s browser settings. Please note that if you disable all cookies, some (or all) of the features and functionality of the Service may not be available to you.

Other than “cookies”, when you use our Service, you consent to our use (and authorize third parties to use) of various technologies to collect Information, which may include web beacons (also known as "tracking pixels"), events and other technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”). Such Tracking Technologies allow us to automatically collect Information about you, your device and your online behavior, in order to enhance your navigation and improve our Services’ performance, perform analytics and customize your experience. In addition, we may merge data we have with Information collected through these Tracking Technologies and data we may obtain from other sources, and, as a result, such combined data may constitute Personal Information.
