What information do we collect?

When you interact with us through the Services, we collect Personal Data and certain other information about you in a few different ways:

2. We collect technical information when you use our Services

As is true of most websites and applications, Dailybreak may gather specific information automatically through the Service. Here are some of the types of information we collect:

Log data: When you use the Service, our servers automatically record information (“log data”), including information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website or your mobile app sends when you’re using it. This log data may include your Internet Protocol address, the address of the web pages you visited, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, and cookie data. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. We may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by our affiliates, agents or service providers. The Service may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to the website, the number of visitors to each page of the website, and the domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process.
Cookie data: A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts the Service gives to your browser when you access the Service.

In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Service’s features.
Spotlight Tags: Dailybreak may also use spotlight tags, which are transparent GIF files embedded in the Services, to help manage and track the effectiveness of online advertising. Spotlight tags enable the recognition of a unique cookie on your web browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements bring users to the Services. The cookie would be placed by us, or by another advertiser who works with us. The information that we may collect via spotlight tags and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable.
Geo-Location Information: Our Services may collect and use your location information (for example, by using the GPS on your mobile device) to provide certain functionality of our Services.

Your location information may be subject to abuse, misuse, and monitoring by others, so please be careful if you choose to enable location functionality. We may also use your location information in an aggregate way, as described below.

3. Our partners and advertisers may share information with us
