Personal Data We Collect
How We Use Personal Data; Disclosure of Personal Data
Providing and improving our services
We use data to provide and improve the services we offer and perform essential business operations. This includes operating the services, maintaining and improving the performance of the services, including developing new features, research, and providing customer support. Examples of such uses include the following.
Providing the Services
- Customer support. We use data to diagnose service problems and provide other customer care and support services.
- Product activation. We use data – including device and application type, location, and unique device, application, network and subscription identifiers – in order to activate software and devices that require activation.
- Service Improvement. We use data to continually improve our services, including adding new features or capabilities.
- Security, Safety and Dispute Resolution. We use data to protect the security and safety of our services and our customers, to detect and prevent fraud, to confirm the validity of software licenses, to resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
- Investigations of Questionable Activity. We disclose information that we, in good faith, believe is appropriate to cooperate in investigations of fraud or other illegal activity, or to conduct investigations of violations of our user agreements. For example, this means that if we conduct a fraud investigation and conclude that one side has engaged in deceptive practices, we can give that person or entity’s contact information to victims who request it. In addition, we reserve the right to disclose aggregate information and personally identifiable information to third parties as required or permitted by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights.
- Legal Requests. We disclose information in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver or other comparable legal process (“Legal Request”), including Legal Requests from private parties in a civil action, and in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. If the Legal Request seeks information about an identified user or limited group of users, we’ll make reasonable business efforts to contact the user(s) before providing information to the party that requests it. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to contact the user(s) in all cases, whether because of a time limit, court order, inability to effectively contact a user, or for any other reason. We may disclose information to an individual’s agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that an individual grants, or a guardian appointed for an individual).
- Business Operations. We use data to develop aggregate analysis and business intelligence that enable us to operate, protect, make informed decisions, and report on the performance of our business.
- Sale of Business. As with any other business, it is possible that in the future we could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to the information maintained by us, including customer account information, but would continue to be bound by this Policy unless and until it is amended.
Communications
We use data we collect to deliver and personalize our communications with you. For example, we may contact you by email or other means to inform you when a subscription is ending, update you or inquire about a service or repair request, invite you to participate in a survey, or tell you that you need to take action to keep your account active. Additionally, you can sign up for email subscriptions and choose whether you wish to receive promotional communications from Acadal by email.

Acadal services are not supported by advertising. We don’t use the data we collect to help select ads – whether on our own services or on services offered by third parties. We don’t support adds based on your current location, search, or the content you are viewing. We don’t target adds based on your likely interests or other information that we learn about you over time using demographic data, search queries, usage data, and location data. Acadal does not use what you say in emails or chats, or your documents, or other files to target ads to you.
