You are not required to provide the personal information that we have requested, but, if you choose not to do so, in some cases we will not be able to provide you with our products or services or respond to any queries you may have.
Please note: The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information. We do not collect any personal information from our applications.

How we use your personal information
We may process your personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy with your consent, for compliance with a legal obligation to which ByteforDEV is subject or when we have assessed it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by ByteforDEV or a third party to whom it may be necessary to disclose information.
- We use your personal information to communicate with you, assistance, and improvement of experience in the use of ByteforDEV products and services.
- We also use personal information to help us create, develop, operate, and improve our products and services, and for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes.

- From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with ByteforDEV, you may not opt out of receiving these communications.
- We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve our products, services, and customer communications.

Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
We also collect data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, and transfer non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
- We may collect information regarding customer activities on our website and from our products and services. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non‑personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. This information will not be associated with your IP address.
- We may collect data about how you use our products in order to help us improve them. If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
Cookies and Other Technologies
ByteforDEV’s websites may use "cookies" and other technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons and web storage. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non‑personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
ByteforDEV also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website and online services. Our goal in these cases is to make your experience with ByteforDEV more convenient and personal.
As is true of most internet services, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We may use this information (excluding IP address) to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, to improve our product and services, and in our marketing and advertising services.
The IP address is stored in log files for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes only. It will never disclose without your permission or legal basis. The IP address will be stored 4 days only. If we do not register suspicious actions (for example, DDOS attacks, fraud, etc.) from your IP address during this period, or we have no other legal reasons for further storage of your IP address, it will be erased from all log files (including back-up) after a 4-day period.
In some of our email messages, we may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the ByteforDEV website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.
Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
Web storage allows us to save some information, for example how the customers use ByteforDEV’s sites, locally on the customers’ devices. This information will be used to improve the user experience of using ByteforDEV’s sites.
Disclosure to Third Parties
It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for ByteforDEV to disclose your personal information.
