We

(i)
Non-Identifiable Data. When you interact with the Company through the Services,
we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such
information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot
presently be used to specifically identify you. The Company may store such
information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and
maintained by the Company, affiliates, agents or service providers. The
Services may use such information and pool it with other information to track,
for example, the total number of visitors to our Services, the number of
visitors to each page of our Services, 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.
(ii)
Aggregated Personal Data. In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve
the users of the Services, the Company may conduct research on its customer
demographics, interests, and behavior based on the Personal Data and other

aggregate basis, and the Company may share this aggregate data with its
affiliates, agents, and business partners. This aggregate information does not
identify you personally. The Company may also disclose aggregated user
statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective
business partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

server. Please rest assured that the Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
bring viruses to your device. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer,
and can only be read by the web server in the domain which issued to you the
cookies. The purposes of a cookie are to enable the Web server to recognize
your return to a specific page, and to provide you convenience to save you
time. You are provided with the option to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers will automatically accept cookies, and you can modify your browser
setting to decline cookies. When you choose to decline cookies, your experience
of interaction with the Longdistance services can be compromised.
Both
the website and Longdistance APPs use cookies
to better your interactions with the Websites and the APPs. Our servers will
send to your device a cookie while you visit our website
or Longdistance APPs. The cookies, however, cannot be used to personally
identify you, but merely recognize your Web browser. We will not be able to
know your identity unless you choose to identify yourself to us by, for
instance, responding to our marketing questionnaire.
The
types of Cookies include session-based and persistent-based Cookies. Session

identify you, which allows us to, for instance, process your online requests or
transactions.
Longdistance
APPs and the website use persistent cookies that only
the Company will be able to read and use to identify your previous visit.
Whenever you access the APPs or the website,
a unique identifier is assigned to you through the server. This unique
identifier is associated with a persistent cookie that Longdistance APPs or our
website place on your browser. The
security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies
shall be especially taken care of by the Company. For example, Longdistance
APPs do not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies.
(iv)
IP Addresses. When you visit our website,
the Company collects IP addresses to track and aggregate non-personally
identifiable information. For example, our website
uses IP addresses to identify the regions from which users navigate the website.
(v)
User Generated Content and Public Activities (including Comments). We offer you
the ability to post content that other users can read (e.g., comments or product
reviews). Anyone can read, collect and use any personal information that
accompanies your posts. Read our Terms and Conditions on publishing comments
for more information. We do not have to publish any of your content. If the law
requires us to take down, remove or edit your personal information, we will
comply to the required extent.
2.HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND OTHER
INFORMATION
The
Company uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with
this Privacy Policy. Longdistance may use your data (including data concerning
your activity with a Longdistance software ) across all other Longdistance

Personal Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For
instance, if you contact us by email, we will use the Personal Data you provide
to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal
Data in order to obtain access to the Services, we will use your Personal Data
to provide you with access to such services and to monitor your use of such
services. The Company may also use your Personal Data and other personally
non-identifiable information collected through the Services to help us improve
the content and functionality of the Services to better understand our users
and to improve the Services. The Company may use this information to contact
you in the future to tell you about Services we believe will be of interest to
you. If we do so, each marketing communication we send you will contain
instructions permitting you to "opt out" of receiving future
marketing communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive
any future marketing communications, or you wish to have your name deleted from
our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below. If the Company intends
on using any Personal Data in any manner that is not consistent with this
Privacy Policy, the Company would inform you of such anticipated use prior to
or at the time at which the Personal Data is collected.
3.WE MAY SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND OTHER
INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES
Our
Company is not in the business of selling your Personal Data. Maintaining the privacy
of your Personal Data is a vital part of our relationship with you and an
important aspect of the Services that we provide. There are, however, certain
circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data with certain third
parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:
Business Transfers. As we develop our
business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets, including Personal Data.
In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or
similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets.
Agents, Consultants, and Third Parties.
The Company, like many businesses, sometimes contracts other companies to
perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include
mailing information, maintaining databases, and processing payments. When we
employ another entity to perform a function of this nature, we only provide
them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.
Additionally, we reserve the right to use third party analytics service
providers and advertising partners to collect personally identifiable
information about your online activities over time and across different
websites when you use our Services, including details as described in this
Privacy Policy. Furthermore, we partner with third parties to provide certain
support services to our users. We try to limit how these third parties can use
the information they gather from you or that we provide. The processing and
storage of any and all information you may provide to any of such third
parties, including information they may collect from you, is not governed by
this Privacy Policy. You will need to review the Privacy and Cookie Policy of
such third party on their websites and accept separately if necessary.
Legal Requirements. The Company may
disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good faith
belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation,
(ii) protect and defend the rights or property of the Company, (iii) act in
urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Services or
the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability.
4.HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR CONTENT
We
will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the
purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and in each case in accordance with
applicable legal and regulatory requirements in respect of permitted or
required retention periods and limitation periods relevant to legal action. The
storage periods are determined on a case-by-case basis that depends on factors
like the nature of the information, why it is collected and processed, relevant
legal or operational retention needs, and legal obligations.
If
you wish to close your registered profile or delete your personal information
you have provided to us, please follow relevant instructions in your account or
contact us by email at service@hytto.com.

Please be noted that any Content that you send to the recipient as
aforementioned does not fall within the scope of personal information which we

disclaims any obligation or liability for acquisition, storage and use of the
Content by any third party, including the recipient, to whom the Content is
sent by the User.
5.CHILDREN SHOULD NOT SUBMIT PERSONAL DATA
The
Company does not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age
of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not use the Services and do
not submit any Personal Data through the Services. We encourage parents and
legal guardians to monitor their children's internet usage and to help enforce
our Privacy Policy by instructing their children under the age of 18 never to
provide Personal Data to the Services. If you have reason to believe that
someone under the age of 18 has provided Personal Data to the Company through
the Services, please contact us at [email protected], and we will endeavor to
delete that information from our databases.
6.HOW WE SECURE YOUR INFORMATION AND CONTENT
The
Company takes commercially reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data
provided via the Services from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The Company uses security measures for
any personal and account data that we store (emails, phone numbers, etc.).
Account-identifiable or user-identifiable data collected through the Services
may be encrypted and stored on our internal databases. The Company will not
sell or transfer account-identifiable data to third parties. Any accessible
data associated with your account or your profile can be retrieved only if you
provide us with your account identifier. Please be reminded, however, that no
internet or email transmission or data storage is ever fully secure or error
free and that information on the Services may be accessed, disclosed or
altered. In particular, email sent to or from the Services may not be secure.
Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send
to us. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Data to Company
via the Internet.
Please
note that all payments for products and services are processed by
third-parties. The Company makes good-faith efforts to use third-party
companies which employ proper protections for private information. However, we
have no control over said companies; therefore, the Company exclusively
disclaims any obligation or liability for said third-parties' processes and
security measures.

9. SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
This
supplemental privacy policy shall apply only to residents of California, according
to the regulation of CCPA, and may be subject to change. The general privacy
policy shall continue to apply to the extent that it applies to you as a
resident of California. Any term used in this supplemental privacy policy shall
have the same meaning as in the general privacy policy.
The
CCPA requires disclosure of the categories of personal information collected
over the past 12 months. While this information is provided in greater detail
above, the categories of personal information that we have collected, as
described by the CCPA, are:
Identifiers, including name, email
address, IP address, and an ID or number assigned to your account.
Other individual records such as phone number,
billing address, or credit or debit card information. This category includes
personal information protected under pre-existing California law and overlaps
with other categories listed here.
Demographics, such as your age or
gender, or, where you have provided such information voluntarily. This category
includes data that may qualify as protected classifications under other
California or federal laws.
Commercial information, including
purchases and engagement with our services.
Internet activity, including your
interactions with our services.
Inferences, including information about
orders, interests, preferences, and favourites.
We
collect and use these categories of personal information for our business and
commercial purposes that are previously described, including providing and

services. We share personal data as described above under Article 3.
For
the purposes of the CCPA, Longdistance does not ��sell�� personal information,
nor do we have actual knowledge of any ��sale�� of personal information of minors
under 16 years of age. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 entitles
California customers to request information concerning whether a business has
disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties'
direct marketing purposes. California customers who wish to request further
information about our compliance with this law or have questions or concerns
about our privacy practices and policies may contact us, in writing by email at
[email protected].
