3. Who Collects Information
When you visit or use our Apps we may collect or receive information about you as described in this Policy. Some Apps may include links to the Max FM Website, including third-party managed pages on the Max FM Website. For example, the App may link to an Max FM web page providing health information or a third-party managed Max FM web page for conference registration.

Third-Party Providers. Some of our Apps or the functions within the Apps may be provided, developed, or hosted by third parties that are not affiliated with Max FM. These entities may collect or receive information you provide within the Apps, including information about your use of our Apps and your activities over time and across third-party applications or websites. These third parties may collect, use, store, or transmit information in accordance with their applicable privacy policies and business practices, which are not under Max FM’s control.

We encourage you to look for and review the privacy statements of each and every website that you visit and be mindful of the information you may submit to any such third party.

8. Security
Max FM has implemented reasonable security measures designed to protect the information collected via our Apps from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Access to data and technology relating to user information is password-protected and limited to authorized personnel and those vendors that require access to the information in order to furnish services to Max FM and our members. In addition, Max FM uses industry standard technology to keep users’ information secure while residing on Max FM’s servers. However, despite these measures, our IT systems could be compromised by parties seeking unauthorized access to our data or users’ data, by a technological malfunction or by an error by an employee, vendor or contractor. In addition, the transmission of information via the Internet or mobile data networks could be intercepted by third parties. As a result, our efforts to protect our data and users’ data from unauthorized access may be unsuccessful and we cannot assure you that the security measures we have adopted will provide absolute certainty. By using, accessing or registering with the Apps, you agree that Max FMis not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort arising from or relating to any breach of our security, circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures, or interception of your transmissions (see also Terms of Use). Any transmission by you is at your own risk.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to our Apps or certain functions within our Apps, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

14. Glossary
Aggregate Information. Non-Personal Information, or Personally Identifiable Information that has been de-identified, and that is combined with similar data related to more than one individual to form aggregated information. For example, we may add up the total number of people in Peoria, Illinois (but not their names) who are seeking information about pancreatic cancer and compare that to the number of people in Petaluma, California seeking the same information. This sort of statistical information is called Aggregate Information because it reflects the habits and characteristics of an anonymous group of people. Companies may use aggregate data or share it with third parties so that the information and services provided best meet the needs of their users. Aggregate Information also helps advertisers and sponsors know how effectively they are reaching and meeting the needs of their target audience.
App(s). See Section 1.
Cookie. A small data file that is stored on the mobile device you use to view an App. Cookies are placed by the application (“first-party”) or by a third-party with a presence on the application (“third-party”), such as an advertiser using a Web Beacon, and are generally accessed only by the party or application that placed the Cookie on the mobile device (i.e., a Cookie placed on your mobile device by Max FM is generally not accessed by any other application you use but a Cookie placed on your mobile device by an advertiser may be accessed by any application on which that same advertiser has a presence). Cookies can contain pieces of Personally Identifiable Information. Cookies often are used to make the application easier to use. For example, if you check a box to ask that we store your username on your mobile device so that you do not have to enter it each time you visit the site, this can be stored in a locally accessible Cookie on your mobile device. Cookies may be persistent (meaning that they are saved on your mobile device even after you close the application and may be accessed at a later time) or non-persistent (meaning that they are deleted when you close the application). Cookies may be “essential” for the use of an application, such as for example session-id cookies, authentication cookies or user centric security cookies, or “non-essential” for the use of an application, such as for example, third-party advertising cookies or other tracking cookies.
Non-Personal Information (“NPI”). Information that may relate to an individual but does not by itself identify that individual. For example, information such as gender, age, city, and physical location, mobile device ID and call information, information regarding the type of mobile device and operating system you use, your IP address, information regarding your Internet or mobile service provider, terms used for searches within Apps, responses to questions, schedules, bookmarks, notes, and other information about your activities within and usage of the Apps or webpages you visit before and after using our Apps, when not linked with other Personally Identifiable Information. NPI may be “re-identified” through certain processes by linking it to PII relating to the same individual.
Online Behavioral Advertising. The practice of using online tracking technologies such as cookies and web beacons to collect information about a user’s online activities over time and/or across websites and mobile applications, including third-party websites and mobile applications, or other online services in order to deliver advertising and content tailored to the user’s apparent interests.
Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). Information that identifies or is uniquely associated with an individual, such as a name, tax payer identification number, home address, telephone number, email address, Social Security number, or credit card number.
Web Beacons or Pixels (also often referred to as “clear GIFs,” “pixel tags,” “1-by-1 GIFs,” “Single-Pixel GIFs,” “1 x 1 Pixels” or “clear Pixels”). Pages of our Apps and our emails may contain small electronic files known as Web Beacons that permit us and/or third parties to collect information during your use of the Apps. For example, Web Beacons may be used to count the number of users who have visited a page of our App or opened an email and for other related application statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain application content and verifying system and server integrity). Web Beacons send information back to their home Server (which can belong to the host site, a network advertiser, or some other third party) from the users’ application, such as the IP address, the URL of the page on which the beacon is located, hardware identification information (depending on the type of mobile device that is accessing the application), and information stored in any Cookies on the users’ mobile device previously placed by that Server. Web Beacons can also be used to place a Cookie on an application or device. Third parties who provide us with Web Beacons or Pixels may have the ability to link the information they collect about you when you use our Apps with other information they collect about you elsewhere on the Internet, including but not limited to your PII or information about the mobile device you are using.
