Our Commitment to Protecting Your Privacy

Different countries, their sub-divisions (like the U.S. state of California) and transnational regions (like the European Economic Area or EEA) define “Personal Information” in many different ways. Atheer views the collection of Personal Information in the broadest terms and considers “Personal Information” as any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular person or individual.

Atheer attempts under all circumstances to minimize to the greatest extent possible the collection, processing, usage and storing of any Personal Information and only uses Personal Information for the limited purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
