B. Personal Information We May Automatically Collect About You

Our Services may automatically collect certain Personal Information. We use this information to help us design our Services to better suit our users' needs and for other business purposes as described in this Privacy Policy. This Personal Information may include:

  • System and Device Information
    • We collect information about the computer, tablet, smartphone, or other electronic device you use to connect to our Services.
    • Every computer on the Internet has a unique address called an Internet Protocol (“IP” Address). An IP address is just like a telephone number in that it is a long string of numbers. IP addresses are automatically assigned to all Internet Users by their Internet Service Providers (ISP). However, since it would be difficult to remember everyone's IP address, the Internet allows you to type in an easy to remember name, i.e., a domain name or e-mail address which corresponds to the IP address. When you use the Internet, your IP address, as well as other information is automatically logged by web servers.
    • Along with your IP address, we also collect browser type and language; operating system; platform type; device type; software and hardware attributes; and unique device, advertising, and app identifiers.
    • Internet or other electronic network activity information, including browser and app logs, content you view or engage with, and app, browser, and device information;
    • Domain server from which you are using our Services;
    • Type of computer, web browsers, software, search engine used, operating system, or platform you use
    • Mobile device information, including the type of device you use, operating system version, your device's telephone number (if it has one), the device identifier (or “UDID”). This also includes behavior, use, and aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from
    • Location information related to the Internet Protocol (IP) address of devices used to access the Services, type of browser software, operating system, or mobile device in use, associated region or location data, Internet domain and service provider used, and referring/exit pages from which you linked to our Services
  • Date and Time
    • Date and time of your visit or use of our Services
  • Activity
    • Data identifying the website pages you visited prior to and after visiting our website or use of our Services

    • For example, the website from which you came and the website to which you are going when you leave our website, how frequently you access the Services, the time you access the Services and how long you use them for, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails, whether you access the Services from multiple devices, interaction with email content, access times, error logs, and other similar information, and other actions you take on the Services. Information about files you download, domain names, landing pages, browsing activity, content or ads viewed and clicked, dates and times of access, pages viewed, forms you complete or partially complete, search terms, uploads or downloads, the URL that referred you to our Services
  • Location Related Information
    • Location Data generally, or with your consent precise GPS location
  • Social Media
    • Information provided by social networks connected to the Service, in accordance with your privacy settings on the social media platform. The connected social network may provide us with information such as your name, ID, profile picture, network, gender, username, user ID, email address, friend list, age or age range, language, country, friends list, follower list, photos, location, generated contact, and any other information you have agreed it can share or that the social network provides to us.

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE LINKS

We may occasionally provide links to other websites or online services that are operated by parties other than us who are not under our control or maintained by us (“Third-Party Websites”).

Such links do not constitute an endorsement by us of those other websites, the content displayed therein, or the persons or entities associated therewith.

This Privacy Policy only applies to Personal Information collected by us.

You should refer to such third-parties' privacy policies on their sites to determine their respective privacy practices

DATA AGGREGATION AND DE-IDENTIFICATION

DATA PROTECTION

We use commercially reasonable measures to provide our Services. However, you should assume that no data transmitted over the internet or stored or maintained by us or our third-party service providers can be 100% secure. Therefore, although we believe the measures implemented by us reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved, we do not promise or guarantee, and you should not expect, that your information or private communications will always remain private or secure. We do not guarantee that your information will not be misused by third-parties.

We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security features. You agree that we will not have any liability for misuse, access, acquisition, deletion, or disclosure of your information. It is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your log-in credentials and unique identifiers used to access the Services. You are also responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information you submit to us. Submitting inaccurate information or failing to maintain the accuracy of information that changes (for example, a change of email address) may disrupt your ability to use our Services, may affect the information you receive from us, and may impact our ability to contact you.
