1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?


Personal information you disclose to us

In Short:  We collect personal information that you provide to us.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us through the Services. The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Services, the choices you make and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect can include the following: 


Personal Information Provided by You. We collect first name, maiden name, last name, and nickname; email addresses; and other similar data. We further collect information that you provide about your business in order to utilize the Services. We also collect data that you provide from surveys and other similar information.

All payment data is stored by Stripe. You may find their privacy policy link(s) here: https://stripe.com/privacy


Social Media Login Data. Our Services offer you the ability to register and login using your third party social media account details (like your Facebook or Twitter logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile Information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, e-mail address, friends list, profile picture as well as other information you choose to make public.


Information automatically collected

In Short:   Some information — such as IP address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our Services.We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate 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 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. Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. 


The information we collect automatically may include: 

Server Logs. The Services use server logs to automatically record information and details about your online interactions with us.  For example, server logs may record information about your visit to our Services on a particular time and day and collect information such as your IP address or your device ID. 


Pixel Tags. The Services also use pixel tags.  A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon, clear GIF, pixel, or tag) is an image or a small string of code that may be placed in a website, advertisement, or email.  It allows companies to set or read cookies or transfer information to their servers when you load a webpage or interact with online content.  For example, we or our service providers may use pixel tags to determine whether you have interacted with a specific part of our Services, viewed a particular advertisement, or opened a specific email. 


Cookies.  We also use cookies on the Services.  Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by your web browser.  A cookie allows the Services to recognize whether you have visited before and may store user preferences and other information.  For example, cookies can be used to collect or store information about your use of the Services during your current session and over time (including the pages you view and the files you download), your computer’s operating system and browser type, your Internet service provider, your domain name and IP address, your general geographic location, the website that you visited before the Site, and the link you used to leave the Services.  If you are concerned about having cookies on your computer, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it.  You can also delete cookies from your computer.  However, if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of the Site may not operate correctly. 


SDKs and Mobile Advertising IDs.  Our Services may include third-party software development kits (“SDKs”) that allow us and our service providers to collect information about your activity. In addition, some mobile devices come with a resettable advertising ID (such as Apple’s IDFA and Google’s Advertising ID) that, like cookies and pixel tags, allow us and our service providers to identify your mobile device over time for advertising purposes. 


Third-party Plugins.  Our Services may include plugins from other companies, including social media companies (e.g., the Facebook “Like” button).  These plugins may collect information, such as information about the pages you visit, and share it with the company that created the plugin even if you do not click on the plugin.  These third-party plugins are governed by the privacy policies and terms of the companies that created them. 


Third-party Online Tracking and Behavioral Advertising.  We also may partner with certain third parties to collect, analyze, and use some of the personal and other information described in this section.  For example, we may allow third parties to set cookies or use web beacons on the Services or in email communications from us.  This information may be used for a variety of purposes, including online website analytics and online behavioral advertising.
