1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

A. Personal Information You Disclose to Us

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our Services, when you participate in activities related to the Services, or when you otherwise contact us.  The personal information we collect may include names, organizations, phone numbers, mailing addresses, and email addresses.  We do not usually seek to collect your sensitive personal information.

B. Information Automatically Collected

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, navigate, or use the Services.  This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Services, and other technical information.  This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

To improve the quality of the Services, we may track information provided to us by your browser or other software applications when you view or use our Services.  We track this information using cookies, or small text files which include an anonymous unique identifier.  Cookies are sent to a user’s browser from our Services and are stored on the user’s computer hard drive.  Sending a cookie to a user’s browser enables us to collect non-personal information about that user and keep a record of the user’s preferences when utilizing our Services, both on an individual and aggregate basis.

C. Information Collected from Data Brokers

We may also collect similar personal information about you from data brokers in connection with our Services or marketing activities.

2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services as well as to communicate with you, improve security and prevent fraud, and comply with applicable laws.  We may also process your information for other purposes with your express consent.  We may process your information when necessary to save or protect an individual’s vital interest, such as to prevent harm.

3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

We process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, such as when you have provided your consent, or to comply with laws, provide you with Services, enter into or fulfill our contractual obligations, protect your rights, or fulfill our legitimate business interests.  We may also process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Notice, we do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personal information.  We do share personal information with our data analytics providers and our various vendors who are performing services for the Company, such as our accounting software vendors, database vendors, information technology vendors, and other service providers and vendors.

Personal information may also be disclosed to law enforcement, regulatory or other government agencies, or to other third parties, in each case to comply with legal, regulatory, or national security obligations or requests.

In addition, we may need to share your personal information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

5. HOW DO WE RESPOND TO CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES?

Many web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected.  At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized.  As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process.  However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk.  You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

8. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

Depending on the jurisdiction in which you are located, you may have certain rights under applicable data protection laws.  These may include the right to (i) request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) request rectification or erasure; (iii) restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) request data portability, if applicable.  In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information.

If you are located in the EEA or U.K. and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to elevate your concerns to your local data protection supervisory authority.

You can make such a request by contacting us using the information listed at the bottom of this Privacy Notice.  We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

9. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year.  If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please contact us using the information listed at the bottom of this Privacy Notice.

If you are under 18 years of age, reside in California, and have a registered account with Services, you have the right to request removal of unwanted data that you publicly post on the Services.  To request removal of such data, please contact us using the information listed at the bottom of this Privacy Notice and include (i) the email address associated with your account and (ii) a statement that you reside in California.  We will make sure the data is not publicly displayed on the Services, but please be aware that the data may not be completely or comprehensively removed from all our systems (e.g., backups, etc.).

10. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY NOTICE?

We may update this Privacy Notice periodically.  The updated version will be indicated by a new “Revised on” date at the top of this notice and will be effective as soon as it is accessible.  If we make material changes to this Privacy Notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a Privacy Notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification.  We encourage you to review this Privacy Notice frequently to be informed of how we are using and protecting your information.

11. HOW CAN YOU REVIEW, UPDATE, OR DELETE THE DATA WE COLLECT FROM YOU?

Based on the applicable laws of your country, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we collect from you, change that information, or delete it in some circumstances.  To request to review, update, or delete your personal information, please contact us using the information listed at the bottom of this Privacy Notice.
