If You choose to use such referral service to tell someone about the Services or any promotion thereof, E-Fly may ask You for Your contact’s name, phone number or email address. E-Fly will automatically send Your contact a one-time email or text message inviting him or her to access and/or use the Services.

Your contact may contact E-Fly to request that this information be removed from E-Fly’s database.
3.6. Personal Information We Collect Using Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies. Like many websites and mobile applications, E-Fly may use “cookies”, which are small text files that are stored on Your computer or equipment when You visit certain online pages that record Your preferences and actions. E-Fly may also use cookies to monitor traffic, improve the Services, and make it easier and/or relevant for Your use. Like many apps and websites, E-Fly may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to record Your preferences, track the use of the Services and Your interaction with advertisements, monitor traffic, improve the Services, and make it easier, and more relevant, for You. E-Fly may also use cookies to: find Your account information when You access the Services (a cookie is created when You register for an Account); determine the browser You are using so the Services work properly; assist with sending You e-mail newsletters; generate analytics regarding Your use of Services; and estimate E-Fly’s audience size by determining whether Your visit is Your first.
E-Fly may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies, but does not currently use flash cookies, web storage, web beacons or other technologies that track Your browsing history across multiple applications or websites.
-----
E-Fly may partner with third party advertising companies to better provide advertisements about its goods and services that may be of interest to You. These third-party advertisers may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about You when You use the websites or applications. They may collect information about Your online activities over time and across different websites, applications, or other online services. They may use this information to provide You with interest-based advertising or other targeted content. These online advertising partners do not have access to, or the ability to use and Personal Information from E-Fly without Your consent. They may, however, use persistent identifiers to anonymously track Your Internet usage across other websites and applications over which E-Fly has no control. Although E-Fly restricts their further use of any Personal Information they might receive from it, they may, with sufficient data from other sources, be able to personally identify You, without E-Fly knowing or having the ability to control.
Third-party ad serving companies and other unaffiliated advertisers also display advertisements on via the Services. As part of their service, they may place a separate cookie on Your computer or utilize other data collection and tracking technologies, to collect information such as Your IP address, browser type, the server Your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with Your server, and whether You responded to a particular advertisement. For a listing of the third party companies E-Fly may allow to place cookies to serve ads on the Services, click here. E-Fly does not control these third parties’ tracking technologies, how they may be used, or the information they may collect, and E-Fly is not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of those third parties. Please visit the sites of those businesses at the links above to review their privacy policies. E-Fly may add or change the list of third party ad servers from time to time and encourages You to regularly check this section for changes. You can learn more about online advertising at www.aboutads.info/consumers.
Many of the third-party advertisers that place tracking tools on or through the Services are members of programs that offer You additional choices regarding the collection and use of Your information. You can learn more about the options available to limit the collection and use of Your information by these third parties by visiting the applications for the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance, as well as the webpages for Facebook’s ad preferences tool and privacy policy. You can also learn about Your options to opt-out of mobile app tracking by certain advertising networks through Your device settings. For more information about how to change these settings for Apple ---- see:

-------
Please note that opting-out of advertising networks services does not mean that You will not receive advertising while using the Services or on other applications, nor will it prevent the receipt of interest-based advertising from third parties that do not participate in these programs. It will, however, exclude You from interest-based advertising conducted through participating networks, as provided by their policies and choice mechanisms. Your browser or device may include “Do Not Track” functionality. Because a “Do Not Track” compliance protocol has not yet been finalized, E-Fly’s information collection and disclosure practices, and the choices provided to You, will continue to operate as described in this Privacy Policy, whether or not a Do Not Track signal is received. If You delete Your cookies or if You set Your browser or device to decline these technologies, some functions of the Services may not function at all, or may not function as designed.
3.7. Consolidating Your Personal Information. E-Fly may use the information from one portion of one of the Services for other portions thereof, and may combine Personal Information gathered from multiple sources, including Personal Information collected off-line or receive from third-party sources to enhance, expand, and check the accuracy of Your customer records, into a single customer record or analysis or report. E-Fly follows this Privacy Policy with respect to all of Your Personal Information regardless of how it was collected.
3.8. Non-Personal Information Collected. E-Fly and third party vendors may collect information about Your computer hardware and software, such as browser information, access times, the date and time of visits, the website pages viewed, time spent at E-Fly’s website, websites that You visited just before and just after Your visit to E-Fly’s website, riding time on a Vehicle, length of Vehicle operation, speed while operating a Vehicle, and certain other information collected through cookies, pixel tags, mobile applications, and other technologies.
