Any capitalized terms that are not defined in this Policy are defined in our Terms of Service.

In addition, we may collect certain information automatically through your use of the Services. We will use this information to provide you with the functionality of our Services, to improve our Services, and to provide you with information about our Services . The rest of this section provides a more detailed explanation of the personal information we collect, the basis for our collection, and how we use that information.
Voluntarily Disclosed Information.

Automatically Collected Information.
Browser & Device Information. Whenever you interact with the Services, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identification, “cookie” and pixel tag information, the type of device you’re using to access the Services, the amount of time spent on the Services, and the page or feature you requested. You can learn more about our use of cookies and related technologies in our Cookie Policy. We use the data we automatically collect from you to improve the Services – for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and we can use that knowledge to make the Services interesting to as many users as possible. We collect this information with your consent, to perform our contract with you, and for our legitimate interest of providing a smooth user experience on the Services.
Emails. We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. We may disclose your personal information to the categories of third parties identified in this section.
Personnel and Third Party Service Providers. We employ personnel and engage other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your personal information with them to provide products or services to you. For example, the Services are hosted by Render Services, Inc.
Analytics Services. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our Services. You can learn more about the information that Google has access to at the following website: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Anonymous Information. We may provide aggregate usage information to third parties (or allow these third parties to collect aggregate information of activity on our Services), who may use that information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Services, so that they, too, can provide our users with an optimal online experience.
Business Transfers. If we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, personal information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
Legal Compliance. We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we believe is necessary to comply with governmental requests, law enforcement or court orders, or enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements.
SECURITY. We use commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. In addition, we rely on the technical safeguards provided by the third party service providers we use to host, store, and process your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant that your personal information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. We are not responsible to our users or to any third party due to any such loss, misuse, or alteration.
YOUR RIGHTS.
Who To Exercise Your Rights With. You may have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal information. You can learn more about your rights further down in this section. If we have collected your personal information as a result of our relationship with you, we are a “controller” of that personal information and you can exercise your rights with respect to your personal information by following the instructions below. However, if we have collected your personal information as a result of an Organization Agreement with your Organization, we are a “processor” of your personal information and your Organization controls our use of your personal information and determines how and for what purpose we process your personal information.
If we are a processor of your personal information, and you have any questions or concerns about how your personal information is handled or would like to exercise your rights as a data subject, you should contact your Organization. We will provide assistance to the Organization to address any concerns you may have, in accordance with the Organization Agreement and applicable law.
Rights of Users in the EEA and UK. If you reside in the EEA or the UK and we are a controller of your personal information, you have the following rights:
Request access to your personal information. You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. Where we have good reason, and where data protection law permits, we can refuse your request for a copy of your personal information, or certain elements of the request. If we refuse your request or any element of it, we will provide you with our reason(s) for doing so.
Request correction of your personal information. You may request that we correct any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you.
You may request that we delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You may also ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your personal information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. You may not request the removal of de-identified, anonymous, or aggregate data from our databases.
Right to Object to or Restrict Processing. In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal information (for example, if we are processing your personal information on the basis of our legitimate interests but there are no longer any compelling legitimate grounds to justify our processing overriding your rights and interests). You may also restrict our processing of your personal information, for example during a period in which we are verifying the accuracy of your personal information in circumstances where you have challenged the accuracy of that personal information.
Request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party. In certain instances, you have a right to receive the personal information that we hold about you (or a portion thereof) in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In such circumstances, you can ask us to transmit your personal information to you or directly to a third-party organization on your behalf. While we are happy for such requests to be made, we are not able to guarantee technical compatibility with a third-party organization’s systems. We are also unable to comply with requests that relate to personal information of others without their consent.
Withdraw consent. You may withdraw your consent for our processing of your personal information where we are relying on consent to process that personal information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
International Transfers. To the extent we transfer your personal information to third parties that are outside of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we rely on adequacy decisions, data transfer agreements, or other legally compliant mechanisms for such transfers, including standard contractual clauses. You can ask for a copy of these standard contractual clauses by contacting us as set out below.
RETENTION OF INFORMATION. Subject to your right to request deletion of your personal information, we will retain your personal information as long as needed for your use of the Services, your approved receipt of marketing communications from us, our compliance with legal obligations, and to protect our or other’s interests.
HOW WE RESPOND TO DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS. We do not track you or collect your information across third party websites or online services. Thus, we do not receive Do-Not-Track signals, or other similar signals. To the extent that we do receive any such signals, we will not comply with them as it is not an aspect of the functionality of the Services.
AGE OF USERS. Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to use, access or register for the Services in any way. We do not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
CHANGES TO POLICY. We’re constantly trying to improve the Services, so we may need to change this Policy from time to time as well. The date of the last modification will be posted at the beginning of this Policy. It is your responsibility to check from time to time for updates. By continuing to access or use the Services, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Policy.
