Our Commitment to Your Privacy:

For more information, please see the full Terms of Use and Privacy Policy on the following page.

Privacy Policy
Effective February 2nd, 2011

Your privacy is extremely important to us at Skyfire Labs, Inc. (“Skyfire”, “we”, or “us”). We respect the privacy of our users and seek to meet or exceed industry-best practices to protect your privacy, including supporting the Internet Advertising Bureau and Better Business Bureau joint self-regulatory principles. Accordingly, we have prepared this Privacy Policy for the Verizon version of the Skyfire mobile browser (the “Browser”), and our website. By using the Browser, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. What Information Does Skyfire Collect and for What Purposes?

The Skyfire Browser and other Skyfire mobile apps do NOT collect or store information that can be used to identify you personally such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address (“Personal Information”). Skyfire will not collect Personal Information without your consent. If you sign up for our optional free email newsletter via our Website, we do retain your email and other information you provide, but that is not linked in any way to your use of the Skyfire browser or other products.

Skyfire uses a completely anonymous user ID to identify specific Skyfire mobile browsers, which is not linked to any Personal Information. To the extent that our Sites and Services access your Device ID, Skyfire uses this Device ID to create a proprietary anonymous ID number that cannot be traced nor reverse-engineered to your particular Device ID or your identity.

In order to process browsing and video requests, Skyfire has to collect certain basic browsing information, limited to Non-Personal Information, including the following:

When using the SkyBar™ toolbar, you may choose to login to third-party services using the shortcut toolbar buttons provided, such as Facebook, Twitter, or other third-party services. You may use the SkyBar toolbar without logging in to those services, and you may log out at any time. Skyfire does not collect or store your account information for third-party services. Skyfire maintains only an encrypted token (“OAuth,” in technical speak) to indicate to these third parties that you are logged in to your account with their services.

When you visit and browse our website, Skyfire may set and access one or more cookies (which are text files containing alphanumeric identifiers that we send to your browser and are stored on your computer). We use cookies to store limited session-related information to improve our website experience and understand repeat visitor trends. If you would like, you may be able to change your browser settings to limit our use of cookies (however, some features of our Sites and Services may not function normally if you do so). Please review your web browser’s “Help” file to learn the proper way to modify these settings. In addition, as with most websites, Skyfire automatically receives and logs information from your computer that your browser sends, such as IP address, browser type, and Skyfire cookie information, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, landing pages, and pages viewed.

Skyfire may display advertisements and offers in its Sites and Services, including in the SkyBar™ toolbar. These advertisements are informed only by the contextual words on a website, not by any profile history. No human will read the browser session in order to target such advertisements, and no Personally Information will be collected nor provided to advertisers as part of this Service. Skyfire stores and uses this data in a form that does not permit association with any specific individual or device.

We may in the future introduce new Sites or Services that require a separate registration and may ask you to provide Personal Information when using those distinct products. Please keep in mind that standards for what constitutes Personal Information may differ in other jurisdictions.

Skyfire may use, disclose, reproduce, license and distribute any comments, suggestions and feedback to Skyfire regarding the use of our Sites and Services.

2. What Does This Privacy Policy Cover, and What Doesn’t It Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of information that we gather when you access or use our Sites and Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply: (a) to the practices of third party companies that we do not own or control, or to third party individuals that we do not employ or manage; and (b) to any information you provide to use when you call us, write to us, or communicate with us in any manner other than through our Sites and Services.

Please note that end user license agreements (“EULAs”) governing the use of certain Sites or Services may contain provisions that pertain to the collection and use of your information and which supplement or vary from this Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict between a EULA and this Privacy Policy, the terms of such EULA shall apply.

3. Can Minors Use the Sites and Services?

Skyfire does not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under the age of 18, and requires that users to be of age 18 or older to use our Sites and Services. If you do not meet these age requirements, please do not attempt use any of the Sites and Services, and do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. If we learn that we have collected personal information from anyone under the age of 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under the age of 18, please contact us at privacy@skyfire.com and we will promptly delete such information.

4. How Does Skyfire Share Information?

Skyfire does not sell, rent or share your Personal Information with other companies as a matter of policy. However, we may disclose Personal Information and non-Personal Information under the following limited circumstances:

Skyfire discloses aggregate, anonymous log file and usage information in reports to third parties to assist those parties in understanding the usage patterns and performance results of certain advertisements, content, services, promotions, or features. For example, we may provide aggregate-level reports to an advertising partner for the purpose of showing delivery and performance statistics of a specific advertising campaign. Skyfire does not share Personal Information with such third parties.

Skyfire utilizes certain third party services, such as Flurry Analytics or Fluent Mobile, as a reporting tool in order to study aggregate usage patterns and improve our Sites and Services, or to measure the effectiveness of external marketing campaigns. These reporting services may access your Device ID to measure the distinct number of users on our products, and the frequency they return. Skyfire does not share Personal Information with such third parties. These reporting tools have no access or linkages to any Skyfire URL browsing history.

If you have any questions regarding the management and use of personal information, please contact us at the address in the “Enforcement and Contact Information” section of this Privacy Policy.

5. How Does Skyfire Protect Your Information?

Skyfire uses commercially-reasonable safeguards to protect the privacy of information collected under this Privacy Policy. Although we can not guarantee that such information may not be accessed or disclosed by breach of our safeguards, we seek to exceed industry privacy norms by not storing sensitive information and limiting the Personal Information we collect in the first place.

We limit access to information about Browser activity to Skyfire employees, contractors and agents who need to come into contact with that information to operate, develop or improve our products and services. These individuals are under confidentiality agreements and may face disciplinary charges, termination and/or criminal prosecution if they fail to meet their agreements. We review our data collection and use practices to ensure that we collect and use only necessary amount of personal information needed to operate, develop or improve our Sites and Services.

We endeavor to protect the privacy of any information we hold in our records, but we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information. If Skyfire learns of a security breach, then we may attempt to notify you so that you can take appropriate protective steps. Skyfire also may post a notice on applicable portions of its Sites and Services if a security breach occurs.

The Skyfire website may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites. When following a link to another site you should read that site’s privacy policy.
In addition, please note that information that we collect or that you submit may be transferred to, processed in, or held in countries (including the United States) other than the one in which you reside.

6. What If We Change This Privacy Policy?

Skyfire may update this policy from time to time. We will post any Privacy Policy changes on this page. Each version of this Privacy Policy is identified by its effective date at the top of this document.

If we make a material change to this Privacy Policy that affects users of the Skyfire browser or other apps, we will post prominent notice within the applications and request new acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy before it applies to you.
