This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used and disclosed by Spy Gadgets R Us (hereafter as “Spy Gadgets R Us”, “SGRU”,“our,” “we,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use our website, mobile applications and other online services (collectively, the “SGRU Service”) or when you otherwise interact with us.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with more prominent notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the SGRU Service to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

Note: SGRU is piloting a new electronic payments solution that is only available to certain users. As a result, some of the provisions of this privacy policy related to the payments solution may not apply to all users.
