2. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
-
Iconik collects both “Personal Information” and “Anonymous Information” about You.
“Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify You, such as Your full name, email address, phone number, payment method, password, mailing address, IP address, and profile picture, location, as well as information that is linked to such information.
“Anonymous Information” is information that We cannot use to identify You and is not linked to information that can be used to do so. It includes passively collected information about Your activities on the Websites or on the Apps, such as use and usage data, to the extent that information is not linked to Your Personal Information.
“Personal Data” means collectively, Personal Information and Anonymous Information.
-
While accessing certain portions of the Services, We passively collect certain information from Your devices, such as Your IP address, screen resolution information, geographic location, Wi-Fi information, browser information, unique device identifier (“UDID”) where applicable and/or Your mobile operating system, and use third party service providers to obtain detailed analytics. We also collect geolocation data from You upon You downloading and opening the Apps or accessing the Website. Sometimes, this passively collected information will constitute Personal Information – please see, in particular, Sections 2.4 and 2.5.
-
Voluntarily submitted information
We collect information that You provide to Us during Your use of the Services. Some examples include:
-
Personal Information that You enter when registering for or using the Services, Website or Apps, including Your full name, email address, phone number, payment method, billing information, profile picture and profile information.

We also retain the data We need for the execution of pending tasks and the data We need to investigate and realize Your complaints or queries, or Our legal rights and Our claims, as well as certain data that We must store for a legally mandatory period of time. When certain data is only saved due to a legally mandatory preservation term, the processing of it by Us is limited, even where You do not specifically request this.

Iconik will take appropriate steps to ensure that Your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with applicable Privacy Laws and this Policy. This may include putting in place data transfer agreements or ensuring that Iconik or third parties comply with contractual obligations or other data transfer mechanisms or schemes.
