This Privacy Policy may change from time to time by updating this page, so please check this webpage from time to time to ensure that you are aware of and agree to any changes. Your continued use of the Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree this Privacy Policy, you are not permitted to use the Services. Please see Sections 11-13 of our Terms regarding your legal rights in any dispute involving our Services, including a class action waiver.

1. How We Collect Information

We may collect information about you through your use of our Services and our related communications with you.

2. What Type of Data We Collect

We may collect the following categories of data and information:

  • Contact information when you voluntarily submit it to us through our Services, and this information may include name, email address, phone number, physical address, business details (title, company, etc.) and other information provided;
  • Other information you provide such as by filling in a form on our Services or when reporting a problem or issue to us;
  • Communications between you and us, such as via email, online chat or other channels; and
  • Online User Activity as described in the next section.

If you provide information regarding another individual, you represent that you are authorized to provide that information to us consistent with our Terms.

3. Online User Activity, Cookies, and Information Collected by Other Automated Means

Cookies are a commonly-used web technology that allow websites to store and retrieve certain information on a user’s system, and track users’ online activities. We and our service providers may collect information about your use of our Services by such automated means, including but not limited to cookies, pixels, SDKs and other similar technologies.

Cookies and these other technologies can help us automatically identify you when you return to our Services. Cookies help us review website traffic patterns and improve the website, and determine what Services are popular. We can also use such information to deliver customized content and advertising to users of the Services whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

When you use the Services, the information that we may collect by automated means includes, for example:

Usage Details about your interaction with our Services (such as the date, time, and length of visits, and specific pages or content accessed during the visits, frequency of the visits, referring website addresses);
Device Information including the IP address and other details of a device that you use to connect with our Services (such as device type and unique device identifier, operating system, browser type, mobile network information, and the device’s telephone number); and
Location information where you choose to provide us with information about your device’s location.

We may also ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads to you, which may use cookies or similar technologies placed by us or the third party. If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, most browsers allow the visitor to reject cookies, but if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features that our Services provide. We may share non-personal information obtained via cookies with our advertising partners. Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time.

4. Online Advertising

You may see us promoted by other organizations, on various websites, web pages, social media and other platforms. Please note that we do not always have complete information about where our organization may be displayed or promoted, and if you believe that we are featured in venues that are inappropriate or offensive, please contact us as directed below.

We may serve advertisements, and allow third parties to serve advertisements, through our Services. Advertisements served through our Services may be targeted to users who fit a certain general profile category, which may be inferred from information that you provide to us or, based on your website usage patterns, or based on your activity on other websites or online services as may be available to the ad networks.

5. How We Use Information We Collect

We may use the information that we obtain about you for purposes allowed by applicable laws, including:

  • Provide our Services to you, including to establish and maintain any account you create for our Services;
