COOKIES AND BEACONS
We may use cookies, beacons and similar technologies, now or in the future, to support the functionality of our App. This provides a better experience when you visit our App and allows us to improve our App. Our service providers may use cookies and beacons to collect and share Non-Personally Identifiable Information about your activities both on our App and on other websites. In addition, third parties that are unaffiliated with us may also collect information about you, including tracking your browsing history, when you use our App. We do not have control over these third party collection practices.

- Browser Cookies. A browser cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. That cookie then communicates with servers, ours or those of other companies that we authorize to collect data for us, and allows recognition of your personal computer. We do not collect Personally Identifiable Information from browser cookies and we do not associate browser cookies with your Personally Identifiable Information. You may use the tools available on your computer or other device to set your browser to refuse or disable all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set. However, if you refuse or disable all browser cookies, you may be unable to access certain parts or use certain features or functionality of our App. Unless you have adjusted your browser settings so that it refuses all cookies, we may use cookies when you direct your browser to our App.

YOUR CHOICES
We offer you certain choices in connection with the information we collect from you.
Email Communications
You may have the opportunity to receive certain communications from us related to our App. If you provide us with your e-mail address in order to receive communications, you can opt out of marketing e-mails at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of our e-mails and adjusting your e-mail preferences. Please note that certain e-mails may be necessary for the operation of our App. You will continue to receive these e-mails, if appropriate, even if you unsubscribe from our optional communications.
Cookies/ Beacons
If you wish to minimize information collected by cookie or beacon, you can adjust the settings of your browsers to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it. You can also set your browser to automatically reject any cookies. You may also be able to install plug-ins and add-ins that serve similar functions. However, please be aware that some features and services on our App may not work properly if we are not able to recognize and associate you with your account. In addition, the offers we provide when you visit us may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests.
Do Not Track
Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” (or, DNT) feature, a privacy preference that Users can set in certain web browsers, which is intended to be a signal to websites and services that you do not wish to be tracked across different websites or online services you visit. Our App does not currently recognize or respond to DNT signals, so DNT settings do not change the way the App operates.
Please note that we cannot control how third party websites or online services you visit through our App respond to Do Not Track signals. Check the privacy policies of those third parties for information on their privacy practices.
Text Alerts
You may have the opportunity to receive certain information, updates and/or offers from us via text communications.

The accuracy of the information we have about you is very important. To review, correct or delete your Personally Identifiable Information, please contact us at [support@peemap.app].
SECURING YOUR INFORMATION
The security of your information is important to Shadepit, and we have established administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personally Identifiable Information against unauthorized alteration, access, loss, theft, use or disclosure. Unfortunately, no system can guarantee complete security of your information. As a result, Shadepit cannot ensure or warrant that your information, including your Personally Identifiable Information, is secure from unauthorized third parties. Thus, your use of the App and communication with us about them is at your own risk.
You are responsible for protecting your username and password(s) and for the security of information that you transmit to us over the internet.
If you have reason to believe that your interaction with the App is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your username or password has been compromised), you must immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us.

If we discover that we have collected any Personally Identifiable Information from a child under the age of 17, we will suspend the associated account and remove that information from our database as soon as possible.
