Effective as of October 1, 2022

This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to the PATH-NOW mobile application (the “App”), owned and operated by ADJOIN (jointly referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) and to our websites and associated subdomains, (collectively, the “Website”). We have created this Privacy Policy to tell you what information the App and Website collect, how we use that information, and who we will share that information with, if at all. This Privacy Policy does not address the privacy practices of any third parties that we do not own, control, or are affiliated with. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy will have the meaning set forth in our Terms of Use. By visiting and/or using our App or Website, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms of Use. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use, and to use the information it contains to help you make informed decisions.
