Categories of Personal Information Company Collectors

Data that may be used to uniquely identify a person is known as personally identifiable information. We may request certain personal information from you when you participate in specific Company Service activities, such as making an account, submitting feedback, or making other Company Service-related requests (together, "Identification Activities"). We furthermore gather the following:

• Identity Information

• Contact Information

• Technical Information

• Utilization Information

• Transaction Information

• Financial Information

• Evaluation Information

• Profile Information

• Data on Marketing and Communications

​

We may request certain personal information from you if you choose to participate in an identification activity. This information may include your name, address (including zip code), email address, credit card information, phone number, and/or any other information you give us. We will use this information to process your transaction, notify you about it, and fill out forms for future transactions.

We might also request extra information from you when you sign up for the company service, like your credit card number. Certain information we ask you to submit may be marked as required, while other information may be marked as optional, depending on the identification activity. You will not be allowed to participate in an identification activity with company service if you do not submit the required information. Furthermore, in the event that the company already has personally identifiable information on file, it may not contact you again based on the identification activity. Let's say, for instance, that you sign up for Company Service via Facebook or Google, a third party. In that instance, Company might obtain Personally Identifiable Information from such third party; by utilizing Company Services, you agree to such a receipt and to Company's use of Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with Current Privacy Policy.

As stated in this Privacy Policy, we may use or share Personally Identifiable Information to offer you goods and/or services, make it possible for third-party advertisers to offer you goods and/or services, manage competitions and sweepstakes, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, assess how you use our services, and customize your interactions with third parties.
 

In addition, we may use Personally Identifiable Information for the following purposes: troubleshooting, dispute resolution, administrative chores, correspondence, enforcement of our agreements with you, such as this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service; compliance with applicable laws; and cooperation with law enforcement.
 

Non-personally identifying data. Information that cannot be used to identify a specific individual is known as non-personally identifiable information. The Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") of the website you visited prior to using Company Service or in any other way participating in Company Service, the URL of the website you visit after leaving Company Service, the kind of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, information about your mobile device or carrier, or general and/or aggregated location data that does constitute Personally Identifiable Information are examples of this type of information.
 

When you browse or use Company Services, we, and/or our approved Third-Party Service Providers, may automatically collect this information using electronic methods like cookies, web beacons, or pixel tags, as explained in this Privacy Policy.
 

Non-Personally Identifiable Information is used for troubleshooting, trend analysis, trend monitoring, demographic data collection, compliance with legal requirements, and assistance with law enforcement. To assess the overall efficacy of our goods and services, we might potentially disclose this data to our approved third-party service providers.
 

REQUIRED Personal Information

We may not be able to fulfill our obligations under the relevant contract and may not be able to grant access to or use of the services if you refuse to provide certain personal information that we are required by law to collect or under the terms of a contract with you, your employer, or a potential employer.

​

HOW TO OPT-OUT OF FUTURE COMMUNICATIONS

The "right to opt-out" gives everyone who is 16 years of age or older the ability to request at any time that we not sell their personal information.

Customers who consent to the sale of their personal information can withdraw their consent at any time for future sales. You (or your designated representative) may contact us by visiting the following website and sending us a message in order to exercise the right to opt out.

Notice to California residents

Disclosure of CCPA. In compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), the company is required to voluntarily notify Californians about the types of personal data it collects about them, the sources from which it gets its information, the commercial or business purpose for which it gathers the data, the categories of third parties it will share the data with, and the specific personal data it collects about them.

​Non-US Users. By voluntarily providing us with personal information on this website while visiting a country other than the United States of America, you agree to its use and its transfer to the United States of America.

 

How the Company May Share Your Information

Suppliers and independent contractors. We never rent, sell, or trade a user's personally identifiable information to outside parties. For the purposes mentioned above, we may provide our business partners, reliable affiliates, and advertisers with general aggregated demographic data about users and customers that isn't connected to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, we might employ outside service providers to assist us in running our company and the site or handling tasks like sending out surveys or mailings. If our customers have given us permission, we may share information with these third parties for those specific, limited objectives.
 

Payment Transactions. Financial transactions pertaining to our website and services could be handled by our payment service partners. Only the information required to process your payments, issue refunds, and address any concerns or questions regarding payments or refunds will be shared with our payment service providers.

Any member of our group of companies, which includes our subsidiaries, ultimate holding company, and all of its subsidiaries, may receive your personal information from us if it is deemed reasonably necessary for the goals and legal justifications outlined in this policy.
 

To allow those chosen third-party service providers to link your account with their offerings, we may share your inquiry data with one or more of them through the APIs listed on our website. With regard to the inquiry data we provide, each third party will function as a data controller. Furthermore, every one of these third parties will provide you with a copy of its privacy policy, which will control how that third party uses your personal information.

 

When you engage with company service, we might employ outside service providers to provide advertisements to you. For instance, these businesses may utilize non-personally identifiable information about your visits to and usage of company services, as well as your visits to other websites or locations, in order to display advertising for products and services that could be of interest to you via the use of network tags.

As required by law and corresponding disclosures. In addition, we may use Personally Identifiable Information for the following purposes: troubleshooting, dispute resolution, administrative chores, correspondence, enforcement of our agreements with you, such as this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service; compliance with applicable laws; and cooperation with law enforcement.
 

With your authorization. If consent is the legal basis for our processing of your personal information, we may also reveal your information, including your personal information. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the processing done prior to the withdrawal is unaffected by the withdrawal.
 

Security of your information.

Using your account and password, you can access your personally identifiable information through company service. It is encrypted, this password. It is not advisable to disclose your password to third parties.

In order to protect your personally identifiable information during transmission to us, we encrypt a portion of your sensitive data using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. However, there is no way to ensure 100% security when transmitting data. We therefore cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to, from, or via Company Service, and we are not liable for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such information, even though we use commercially reasonable security measures to protect data and actively seek out partnerships with businesses that do the same.

We have no control over the links or content that appear on these websites, and we have no liability for the policies followed by websites that link to or from our website. Furthermore, these websites or services might be updated on a regular basis with regards to links and content. These websites and services might have their own customer service and privacy rules. Any other website's terms and conditions apply to your use of that website, including those that have links to our site.
 

DATA RETENTION

Our data retention policies and processes are made to help make sure we abide with the legal requirements pertaining to the storage and destruction of personal data.
 

Any personal information we process for whatever reason will be retained unless you request that it be deleted.

Regardless of the other clauses, we may keep your information for as long as it takes to meet a legal need, safeguard your vital interests, or the vital interests of another natural person.

 

Your Legal Rights

According to data protection law, your main rights are:

(a) The ability to enter;
(b) The entitlement to correction;
(c) The ability to be erased;
(d) The authority to limit processing;
(e) The ability to object to the processing;
(f) The ability to move data around;
(g) The ability to file a complaint with a supervisory body; and
(h) The ability to revoke permission.

 

You are entitled to access to the personal data we process about you, along with certain extra information, and the ability to verify if we process your data at all. These further elements include information about the recipients of the personal data, the types of personal data involved, and the processing goals. We will provide you with a copy of your data, so long as it doesn't interfere with the rights and freedoms of others. The first copy will be given out without charge, but further copies can come with a little price tag. When logged in, you may view your data by going to your profile.
 

You have the right to have any incomplete personal data about you completed, while also requesting that any erroneous personal data about you be corrected, taking into account the reasons for the processing.

In certain cases, you have the right to have your personal data deleted as soon as possible—at the latest, one month after submitting a legitimate request. These conditions include the following: the processing is for direct marketing purposes; the personal data have been processed unlawfully; you have withdrawn consent to consent-based processing; the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; and you have objected to the processing under specific rules of applicable data protection law. The right to erasure does have certain limitations, though. The broad exemptions cover situations in which processing is required for the following purposes: establishing, defending, or exercising legal claims; complying with legal obligations; or exercising the right to freedom of expression and information.

You have the right to control how your personal data is processed in certain situations. These situations include: you dispute the accuracy of the personal data; you object to processing, pending the verification of that objection; you believe the processing is unlawful, but you oppose its erasure; we no longer require the personal data for our processing, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. In cases where processing has been prohibited due to this rationale, we might keep your personal information on file. Nevertheless, we will only use it in the following other circumstances: with your permission; in order to establish, pursue, or defend legal claims; to safeguard the rights of another natural or legal person; or for purposes of paramount public interest.
 

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for reasons specific to your situation, but only to the extent that the processing is required by law to fulfill one of the following purposes: carry out a task in the public interest, exercise any official authority that may be granted to us, or further our own or a third party's legitimate interests. In the event that you raise such an objection, we will stop processing your personal data unless we can show that there are compelling legal reasons for doing so that outweigh your rights, freedoms, and interests, or that the processing is necessary for the pursuit, establishment, or defense of legal claims.

You have the right to object to our using your information for direct marketing, including direct marketing profiling. Your data will no longer be processed for this purpose if you raise such an objection.

Unless the processing is required to complete a job carried out for reasons of public interest, you have the right to object to our use of your personal data for statistical, scientific, or historical research purposes based on factors specific to your circumstances.

Insofar as the following legal grounds support our processing of your personal data:
 

(a) Assent; or

(b) You have the right to obtain your personal data from us in a structured, widely-used, and machine-readable format if the processing is required for the execution of a contract to which you are a party or to act at your request prior to entering into a contract, and such processing is done by automated means. This right does not, however, apply in situations where it might impair the liberties and rights of others.
