PURPOSE FOR COLLECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION
On certain areas of its websites, EtaCar Systems allows you to provide personal information so that we may fulfill your requests for information or otherwise allow you to interact with us.

WHAT TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION IS COLLECTED?
The personally identifiable information that may be collected might include your name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number. Additional background information might be collected in connection with career-related inquiries.
In addition, EtaCar Systems may collect certain types of information that you do not visibly enter, such as your IP address, browsing patterns on our websites, click stream data, and HTP protocol elements. This tracking information is stored in anonymous, aggregated and non-personal format, and is used to understand and analyze trends, to administer the websites, and to learn about user behavior on the websites. However, EtaCar Systems may use IP addresses to help identify you when EtaCar Systems feels, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary to enforce compliance with this Privacy Policy, to protect its services, websites, systems, information, employees, business partners, subsidiaries, affiliates, users, customers or others, or when required by law or for law enforcement purposes.
