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 when you express
an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you
participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise when you contact us.
Personal Information Provided by You. 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
may include the following:

  • names
  • email addresses
  • websites

Sensitive Information. We do not process sensitive information.

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate,
and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

Information automatically collected

In Short: Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (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 includes:

  • Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic,
    usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect when
    you access or use our Services and which we record in log files. Depending on
    how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device
    information, browser type, and settings and information about your activity in
    the Services (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages
    and files viewed, searches, and other actions you take such as which features
    you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports
    (sometimes called “crash dumps”), and hardware settings).
  • Device Data. We collect device data such as information about your computer,
    phone, tablet, or another device you use to access the Services. Depending on
    the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP

    location, browser type, hardware model, Internet service provider and/or
    mobile carrier, operating system, and system configuration information.
  • Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your
    device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much
    information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use
    to access the Services. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies
    to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP
    address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by
    refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your
    device. However, if you choose to opt-out, you may not be able to use certain
    aspects of the Services.

Information collected from other sources

In Short: We may collect limited data from public databases, marketing partners, and
other outside sources.

In order to enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing, offers, and services to
you and update our records, we may obtain information about you from other
sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, affiliate programs, data
providers, and from other third parties. This information includes mailing addresses,
job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, intent data (or user behavior data),
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, social media profiles, social media URLs, and
custom profiles, for purposes of targeted advertising and event promotion.

2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our
Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply
with the law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on
how you interact with our Services, including:

  • To deliver and facilitate the delivery of services to the user. We may process
    your information to provide you with the requested service.
  • To respond to user inquiries/offer support to users. We may process your
    information to respond to your inquiries and solve any potential issues you

    if you choose to use any of our offerings that allow for communication with
    another user.

    such as to prevent harm.

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

In Short: We only 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, like
with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or
fulfill our contractual obligations, protect your rights, or fulfill our legitimate
business interests.

If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain
the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As
such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

  • Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission
    (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can
    withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when
    we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including
    providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with
    you.
  • Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is
    reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those
    interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms.
    For example, we may process your personal information for some of the
    purposes described in order to:
    Develop and display personalized and relevant advertising content for
    our users
    Support our marketing activities
    Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities
  • Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is
    necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as cooperating with
    a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal
    rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are
    involved.
  • Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is
    necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party,
    such as in situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.

We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e.,
express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in
situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can
withdraw your consent at any time.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to
process your information without your consent, including, for example:

  • If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be
    obtained in a timely way
  • For investigations and fraud detection and prevention
  • For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
  • If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to
    assess, process, or settle an insurance claim
  • For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next
    of kin
  • If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or maybe
    Victims of financial abuse
  • If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise
    the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is
    reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a
    contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
  • If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or
    rules of the court relating to the production of records
  • If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business,
    or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the
    information was produced
  • If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
  • If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations

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

In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section
and/or with the following third parties.

5. WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES?

In Short: We are not responsible for the safety of any information that you share with
third parties that we may link to or who advertise at our Services, but are not
affiliated with, our Services.

The Services may link to third-party websites, online services, or mobile applications

which may link to other websites, services, or applications. Accordingly, we do not
make any guarantee regarding any such third parties, and we will not be liable for
any loss or damage caused by the use of such third-party websites, services, or
applications. The inclusion of a link to a third-party website, service, or

and privacy of the data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third
parties is not covered by this privacy notice. We are not responsible for the content or
privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes
outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

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.

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of
organizational and technical security measures.

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

promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we
may have collected from children under the age of 18, please contact us at

include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your
privacy preference and 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. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that
we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised
version of this privacy notice.

Verification process

Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine whether you are

or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g., phone or email) that
you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods as
the circumstances dictate.

We will only use the personal information provided in your request to verify your identity
or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting
additional information from you for the purposes of verification. However, if we cannot
verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request
