Information we collect
All users – If you do not register, we collect only a limited amount of information from you. We log your IP address in order to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our website, and we track usage statistics including mobile phone download activity. If you reached our site by clicking on a link or advertisement on another site, then we also log that information. This helps us to maximize our Internet exposure and to understand the interests of our users. All of this information is collected and used only in the aggregate; that is, it is entered into our database, where we can use it to generate overall reports on our visitors, but not reports about individual visitors. Like many websites, we place a small text file known as a "cookie" on your computer by your browser. Our servers use these cookies to recognize previous visitors and provide a more customized user experience. However, unless you register with us, it contains no personally identifiable information that would allow us to identify you. We use cookies in this manner to help us understand how visitors use our site and to help us to improve our site. Accepting the cookies used on our site does not give us access to any personal information you have not previously provided to us. You may refuse to accept a cookie from us by following the procedures specific to your Web browser.
Registered users – We encourage you to register in order to take advantage of Mobicious’ personalization features, participate in the Mobicious community, and get the most out of our site. If you choose to register with us, we will collect personal information from you in addition to the non-personal information described above. That personal information may include your name, email address, mobile number, content interests, user name, and password. We collect only the information that you manually enter into our forms. We may store all or some of that information in a cookie on your computer, so that our system will recognize you each time you visit our site. In that way, we can save your preferences from visit to visit and present you with a customized web site, without requiring you to log into our site every time you visit. To improve services and enhance personalization, we may periodically obtain information about you from other independent third-party sources and add it to your registration information.

How we use the personal information we collect
We use the personal information we collect to help both of us. As mentioned above, registering with us enables us to personalize our Web site so that it is most useful to you. It also allows you to log into our site automatically each time you visit. We may also use this information to periodically contact you with news or important information from Mobicious or to request your feedback on our site. In addition to these periodic updates, we may email you additional materials, but only if you specifically request them. These might include opt-in newsletters and other materials that you proactively request from us.
We may also use certain information that you provide in order to present you with advertising that you may find interesting. This benefits both of us. It benefits us because advertising helps pay the bills, and we can charge our advertisers more if they know that their ads will be seen by somebody more likely to find it useful. It benefits you because you see advertising that may actually be interesting to you.
You can cancel your registration with us at any time. We will send you an email to confirm your request. After we receive confirmation, we will remove your information from our active database, but some information may remain in our archives.

Disclosure of your personal information
Mobicious does not sell or rent any personal information to any third party without your permission. We may aggregate personal information from all of our users and provide that information in the aggregate to other parties, including advertisers, for marketing and promotional purposes. However, if we do so, that information will not be in a form that will allow any third party to identify you personally.
Mobicious may offer contests or promotions that are sponsored by identified third parties. By virtue of these relationships, the third party may obtain personally identifiable information that you voluntarily submit to participate in the sites.
As expected, Mobicious must cooperate with legal authorities, and in some circumstances may be required to disclose personally identifiable information in response to requests from law enforcement authorities, or in response to a subpoena or other legal process. We can also turn over information about you if we believe we must in order to prevent a violation of the law, and by accepting this policy, you consent to our doing so, at our sole discretion.
We reserve the right to modify this policy should we deem it advisable to do so. If we make material changes that will affect personal information we have already collected from you, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the changes and to give you the opportunity to amend or cancel your registration.
