3.Modification of Privacy Policy; Notice of Changes. MPH reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to posting the revised Privacy Policy on the Site and/or the App. User acknowledges and agrees that it may be required for User to maintain a valid email address as a registered user and that this is User’s responsibility. It is also User’s responsibility to review the Site and/or the App and this Privacy Policy periodically and to be aware of any modifications. User’s continued use of the Services after such modifications will constitute User’s (i) acknowledgment of the modified Privacy Policy; and (ii) agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.
4. Types of Information Collected. In order to better provide Users with MPH’s numerous Services, MPH collects two types of information about Users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (collectively referred to as “User Information”). MPH’s primary goals in collecting information from User are to provide User with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using MPH’s Site and/or the App, to provide the Services and to collect information related to the Services.
4.1 Personally Identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that lets MPH know the specifics of who Users are. When User engages in certain activities on the Site or the App, such as contacting MPH via the provided forms or sending MPH an email, MPH may ask User to provide certain information about User by filling out and submitting an online form. If User elects to engage in these activities, however, MPH may ask that User provide personal information, such as first and last name, email address and telephone number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information MPH asks User to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If User does not provide the mandatory information with respect to a particular activity (for example, purchasing a particular paid Service), User will not be able to engage in that activity. Users may be required to provide additional personally identifiable information to become a User and to use certain Services, such as driver’s license number, driver’s/motor vehicle record, vehicle related information, insurance information and other similar information. We will collect certain Personally Identifiable Information as required to process User payments in accordance with our Terms of Use. Our Terms of Use may also describe other Personally Identifiable Information that may be required from Users.
4.2 Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific User. MPH gathers certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information about Users based upon their access to and use of the App and/or the Site, including, but not limited to: traffic data, location data, logs, communication data, the resources that a User accesses and uses on or through the App and/or the Site, the website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) from which User just came, to which URL User next goes, what browser User is using, and User’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. It can also include information about your mobile device and internet connection, including the device’s unique device identifier, operating system, browser type, and mobile network information. This information can be compiled and analyzed on both a per-user and an aggregated basis. We may also collect other Non-Personally Identifiable Information. In certain cases we may combine Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally Identifiable Information in which case all resulting or connected data will be considered Personally Identifiable Information.
4.3 Information from Third Party Sites. We may collect, store and use certain User Information from third party sites and services that are accessible via or integrated with the Site or the App or are contemplated by use of the Services (e.g. Google accounts, etc.), including information that may be transmitted by such third party sites in connection with use of the Services. We may also receive access, store and/or use User Information that is collected by third party service providers and our other vendors related to your use of the Services (e.g. Google Analytics, Jumio, Comply Advantage, CheckR, Tecs Payment, Mixpanel, etc.). This information may be Personally Identifiable Information or Non-Personally Identifiable Information. [Note: Anything else specifically to list?]
5. Collection of User Information
5.1 Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information. MPH generally does not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about a User unless that User voluntarily provides it to MPH, authorizes MPH to collect such information (e.g. as set forth in our Terms of Use) or it is related to use of a Service in connection with an integrated third party site or account. User provides certain Personally Identifiable Information to MPH when User (i) downloads and installs the App; (ii) provides information in the App or allows the App to access certain device permissions or settings; (iii) submits web forms or provides/imports information through the Site or the App, including information provided at the time of registering to use the Site or the App, information relating to a vehicle being made available for rent through the MPH Platform and information relating to a renter’s particular trip; (iv) transmits other information by telephone or email, including MPH’s “contact us” web form; (v) connects third party accounts or facilitates access by the Site or the App to such third party sites; (vi) subscribes to certain paid Services, or (vii) provides it via other methods MPH may request or allow from time to time. MPH may also collect information from a User at other locations on the Site or the App that state that such information is being collected. In certain cases, we may collect Personally Identifiable Information related to your use of the Services automatically after you have subscribed to or purchased a particular paid Service (e.g. we may identify Users after purchase of a particular paid Service to ensure that payment has been made and User is using the Service in accordance with its terms). [Note: Any other collection methods we should list here in light of your intended use of the App/Site?]
5.2 Automatic Collection of User Information.

Such User Information may be collected when you use the Services and may not require you to provide or input specific information. MPH may use User Information to diagnose problems with the Services and to improve and market the Services and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy.
