Privacy Policy

We at Cloud4Wi (“we”, “us”, “our”) respect your privacy. This privacy notice (“Privacy Notice”) explains who we are and how we collect, use and share personal information we receive from you in connection with our services (“Services”), which provide marketing and visitor analytics. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us as set forth in the “Contacting Us” section at the bottom of this Privacy Notice.

This Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use (“EULA”) (together the “Terms”), applies to your access and use of the guest Wi-Fi services in all of our venues.

This Privacy Notice does not cover any information collected by us through other means, such as through our websites, sales and marketing activities or otherwise in the course of operating the business.

Cloud4Wi is the Data Controller of your personal data. Cloud4Wi is a registered company of California.

What we collect and how we collect it

The information that we may collect about you broadly falls into the following categories:

Information we collect automatically.

● Location Data
When you carry your device (with its Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth function enabled) into one of our venues, the technology we use senses the following: the presence of your device, its signal strength, its manufacturer (Apple, Samsung, etc.), the geographic position and a unique identifier known as its Media Access Control (MAC) address. This combination of numbers and letters identifies a specific device to the surrounding Wi-Fi or Bluetooth networks. Because the MAC Address does not disclose the device owner’s real-world identity, that information is never collected. We promptly de-identify and de-personalize any MAC addresses we collect. General Visit Information is collected as your mobile device moves across different Locations that use our technology.
For clarity, this information is automatically collected if your device’s WiFi is enabled – even if you do not actually “connect” to the Location’s WiFi network.

● Activity information
When you use Our Service, we may also automatically collect additional information from your mobile device. In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), this information may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws. We refer to this information as – “Activity Information”. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include information about the specific mobile device you are using to access the Our Service, such unique device identifiers known as MAC Address, device type and model, operating system, browser type and language, your browser’s Internet Protocol address, start and stop timestamps of your connections, amount of traffic, hotspot from which you are connected, and the logout reason type. It may also include broad geographic location-related data (e.g. country or city-level location). We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect some of this Activity Information, as further explained under the section headed “How We Use Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies”.

Information you provide voluntarily.

● Registration Information
When you use the guest Wi-Fi services in one of our venues, registration is sometimes required. The “Registration Information” you may provide includes, for example, full name, telephone number, email address or demographic information (e.g. date of birth, gender, geographic area and preferences).
You understand and agree that by providing Registration Information to Us, you are permitting Us to: a) store and access your personal data; b) link your personal data to the MAC address and your location, as offered by your mobile device; and, c) use your Registration Information in such other ways which accord with the terms and conditions herein set forth.

● Information we collect from third party sources
If you Log-In to the WiFi network via a third-party service, such as Facebook Login or Google OpenID, we may access the information described in the third-party service’s request for authorization, such as your name, email address, gender, age, and home zip code. Please review your privacy settings with these third-party services to ensure you are sharing the information you wish to share.
