This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and apply the information collected when you use or access any of our products and/or services, including our website, applications, platforms, and other services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).

2.1.3    Contacting Us. You may choose to send us information about yourself in an email containing inquiries about the Services and we use this information in order to help us respond to your inquiry. You may also choose to submit information to us via other methods, including: (i) in response to marketing or other communications, (ii) through social media or online forums, or (iii) in connection with an actual or potential business relationship with us.

2.1.4    Surveys. When you complete any forms or respond to a survey or questionnaire, we collect the personal data you provide.

      2.3      Information We Obtain from Others. We may obtain information about you from other sources, including through other users of the Services and through third party services and organizations to supplement information provided by you. We may also collect information about you from other publicly available sources. 

           2.2       Information We Automatically Collect. We automatically collect certain information from you when you use the Services, including internet or other network activity information such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, unique device identifiers, browsing and search history (including content you have viewed in the Services), and cookies and other technologies.

2.3.1    Automatic Data Collection. In order to improve, personalize, and optimize our Services and meet our legal obligations, we may automatically track certain information about your visits to and usage of our Services, including your browser type, operating system, IP address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), device identifier, domain name, clickstream data, referring/exist pages, geolocation, and a date/time stamp for your visit. We also use this information to analyze trends, administer the Services, gather demographic information about our user base, deliver advertising, perform research, provide technical and customer support, inform our product development efforts, protect our legal rights, address disputes, and prevent our Services from being used to commit harmful or unlawful activities, including fraud. Some of this information may also be collected so that when you use the Services again, we will be able to recognize you and optimize your experience accordingly.

2.3.2    Device Information. We may collect information about the devices you use to access our Services, including the hardware models, operating systems and versions, software, file names and versions, preferred languages, unique device identifiers, advertising identifiers, serial numbers, device motion information, and mobile network information.

2.3.3    Crash and Error Information. If the Services crash or return an error, we may collect data to determine the cause of the error using first or third party services. The crash or error information collected may include the following: Device IP address, device name, operating system version, application configurations(s), the time and date, and other statistics.

2.3.4    Cookies. Like many online services, we use “cookies” to collect technical information. Cookies are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Services. We may use cookies to collect information about your IP address, browser type, operating system, device type and identifiers, platform type, as well as your usage of and activity on and the performance of our Services. These types of information are collected to make the Services more useful to you and to tailor your online experience to meet your interests and expectations.

2.3.5    Other Technologies. In addition, we use “pixel tags” (also referred to as clear gifs, web beacons, or web bugs). Pixel tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are used to track online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a computer’s hard drive or web browser, pixel tags are embedded invisibly in web pages. Pixel tags are often used in combination with cookies, trigger the placing of cookies, and transmit information to us or our service providers. This enables two websites to share information. The resulting connection can include information such as a device’s IP address, the time a person viewed the pixel, an identifier associated with the browser or device, the type of browser being used and the URL of the web page from which the pixel was viewed. Pixel tags also allow us to send email messages in a format that users can read, tell us whether emails have been opened, and help to ensure we are sending only messages that may be of interest to our users. We may also use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user.

2.3.6    Analytics. We may also use Google Analytics and other service providers to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on our Services. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
