"Cookies" are files that store small amounts of information on your computer or mobile device and "remember" you when you visit websites. Cookies help make it easier to use websites and surf the internet. They keep you logged in when you are visiting a website, remember when you add an item to a shopping cart, and help make sure that the information you see is likely to interest you. “Web beacons” are graphic image files embedded in a web page used to monitor activity on a web page and send back to a server of the host site, a network advertiser, or some other third party information from your browsers, such as the IP address, the URL of the page on which the beacon is located, the type browser that is accessing the site and the ID number of any cookies on your computer previously placed by that server. The ability to store cookies can be controlled through browser settings.
- Random Number Generation. When you download and install one of our Apps onto your mobile device, we assign a random number to your App installation. Through this number, we can identify you personally once you become a registered user of the App. We use this random number in a manner similar to our use of cookies as described in this privacy policy.

How We Store and Protect Personal Information
We Store and Protect Personal Information:
- On secure servers. We may keep more than one copy so that if one is damaged, another remains available.
- Only as long as it is needed, as determined by Pulsara in its sole discretion.
- Using security measures such as encryption. Encryption changes data into a mathematical code so that unauthorized people can't read it. It helps protect your Personal Information.
Ways You Can Control the Data We Collect and Use
The only way you can opt out of our use or disclosure of such information is to not download or use the Application.
Security
We want to be sure that your information is secure, and can't be misused. We protect information about you by using reasonable security measures. These security measures include physical security measures, like a locked data center; administrative security measures, like policies and rules about how our employees use data and who is permitted to handle sensitive data; and technological measures, like encryption. By using several different kinds of security measures, we try to protect your Personal Information. However, no security is perfect, and no security system can prevent all security breaches.
Changes to Our Policies
Sometimes, we change our Privacy Policy and Security measures. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time, for any reason. We will tell you about changes to the Privacy Policy by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Pulsara website. It is a good idea to review the Privacy Policy from time to time, both to check for changes and to remind yourself of how your Personal Information is used and disclosed.

We expect that all use and disclosures of data will occur in the United States and/or Australia, and will be governed by the United States or Australian law, as applicable; however, some data may travel over the Internet and may travel outside the United States and Australia.
