Introduction and General Scope

This is the Privacy Policy and Personal Data Notice applicable for the website available at www.JoudExpress.com, encompassing its sub-domains and its mobile optimized versions.
This Policy applies to this Site, and any website that references this Policy, any of JoudExpress’s operated websites, as well as any data JoudExpress may collect across partnered and unaffiliated websites.
The JoudExpress team does every possible effort to keep your trust; and thus we adhere to these general privacy principles, in order to defend your privacy:
• JoudExpress does not rent or sell your PI.
• JoudExpress does not divulge your contact information to third parties or other users without your consent.
• Any PI that you give to JoudExpress will be protected by industry standard technology and codes of ethics.
For purposes of this Policy, the Site shall be the initial point of contact between you and JoudExpress, and will serve as the point of collection of any personal data you may provide us.
As our user, you will normally be able to manage and select the quantity and type of PI you may reveal to us when using our Site, usually in your account settings.
We constantly try to develop our user experience, and continuously work in order to:
• notify you concerning the ways in which your personal information may be utilized and shared (overseas included);
• preserve the security and protection of your personal details; and/or
• enforce the accessibility of your personal information in order for you to exercise your right of correction of said information.

Collection of Personal Information

As a general rule, we collect both “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information” from our users:
• “Non-Personal Information” includes information that cannot be used to personally identify an individual person, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information that we may collect, number of clicks, platform types, preferences you submit and preferences that are generated based on the data you submit.
• “Personal Information” includes information that can be used to personally identify an individual person, such as name, address, email address, home/business address, mobile number and payment processing account details.
We may also collect non-personally identifiable information via third party tools, such as aggregate user statistics, analytics, demographic information, and web site usage information. As our user, you will generally be able to control and select the amount and type of PI you may disclose to us.
When you access our platform via a mobile device, we may use your mobile device ID (i.e. the unique identifier assigned to a mobile device by the manufacturer) and/or Advertising ID (for Apple iOS 6 and later) instead of cookies in order to recognize you and track the number of relevant ads displayed, along with their performance.
If you want to deactivate the sharing of geo-location features, you can disable location services on your mobile device or browser.
Accordingly, by registering with us or otherwise using our products and services, you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, and disclosure of your PI as described in this Policy. Therefore, in order to use the Site, you may need to disclose some of your PI to us, which may include information such as: your forename, surname, mobile phone number, IP address and email.

Purpose of PI Collection

We will store your PI for the purposes of managing your collaboration with other users and persons, improve your user experience, send newsletters and contact you about inquiries for our services. Overall, we use the collected PI to provide and improve our Service. Accordingly, we will generally collect, use and disclose your PI to:

JoudExpress will keep any collected PI only long as it is necessary, with regard to the purpose of its processing. This means that PI collected and processed for marketing and commercial purposes will be stored for as long as you have an active account, and for twelve (12) months after your subscription has ended or where your account has been deleted or deactivated.
If you do not wish to disclose any or part of your PI to us, you may still be able to use some of the functionalities of our Services, though we will not be able to guarantee that you will be able to enjoy them at their fullest if you elect not to disclose it to us.
