Registration with us is mandatory in order to place orders and fully use the Services. During the registration process (whether on our website or through downloading the mobile application), we collect personal information such as your name, email address, or social media user name.

If you choose to invite an individual to join EKUISTORE, you will need to provide personal information about that individual, such as his/her name, email address, or social media user name, or provide us access to that information at your address book on a social networking site. We will use this information to send and follow up on an invitation to join EKUISTORE and to track the results of the invitation referrals. If the individual you invite registers for the Services, we will store this information and use it to confirm qualifying orders and other activities attributable to your account.

For example, Facebook may share with us your friend list, birthday, information about the interests you or your friends, or other personal information, in order to help us establish your account, tailor the Services to you and find other current or potential Services users that you know.
