WHAT TYPES OF DATA WE COLLECT?

We collect personal data from you, meaning any information which potentially allows your identification with reasonable means (for example, email address or name, collectively “Personal Data”). This section sets out how and when we collect and process Personal Data about you.

  • - Contact information: If you voluntarily contact us, participate in surveys or other promotional activities, or subscribe to newsletters, through any means of communications we make available for inquiries, you will be required to provide us with certain information such as your name, your organization name (i.e., on behalf of which you contact us), email address, and any additional information you decide to share with us.
  • - Usage information: When you interact with our Services, we collect certain information, including but not limited to your online identifiers, Internet Protocol (IP) address, Google Advertising ID on Android devices, Apple Advertising ID for iOS devices (IDFA), time zone, browser type, language preference, referring pages, domain names, log files, Cookie ID, unique identifiers (e.g., MAC address and UUID), session and screen recordings, number of clicks, as well as data concerning your device, operating system, etc.
  • - Additional information received from partner websites linked to our Services: Such information includes internal user identifiers, device information, and summaries of actions taken by you on those partners’ websites (e.g., clicks, purchases, views, etc.).

TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES:

When you visit or access our Services, we use cookies, pixels, beacons, local storage and similar technologies (“Tracking Technologies”). These Tracking Technologies allow us to automatically collect information about you, your device, and your online behaviour, in order to enhance your navigation in our Services, improve our Services’ performance, perform analytics, customize your experience and offer you, for example, tailored content and advertisements that better corresponds with your interests.

What types of Tracking Technologies do we use?

When you use or access our Services, we use the following categories of Tracking Technologies:

  • - Strictly necessary Tracking Technologies: These Tracking Technologies are automatically placed on your computer or device when you access or take certain actions on our Services. These Tracking Technologies are essential to enable you to navigate around and use the features of our Services. We do not need to obtain your consent in order to use these Tracking Technologies;
  • - Advertising Tracking Technologies: These Tracking Technologies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising more relevant to you and to your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. The Tracking Technologies remember the websites you visit and that information is shared with other parties such as advertisers and publishers;
  • - Functionality Tracking Technologies: These Tracking Technologies allow our Services to remember choices you make (such as your language) and provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, these Tracking Technologies are used for authentication (to remember when you are logged-in) and support other features of our Services;
  • - Performance Tracking Technologies: These Tracking Technologies collect information about your online activity (for example the duration of your visit on our Services), including behavioural data and content engagement metrics. These Tracking Technologies are used for analytics, research and to perform statistics (based on aggregated information).

How and by whom Tracking Technologies are stored on your device?

We store Tracking Technologies on your device when you visit or access our Services – these are called “First Party Tracking Technologies”. In addition, Tracking Technologies are stored by other third parties (for example, our analytics service providers, business partners and advertisers), who run content on our Services – these are called “Third party Tracking Technologies”. Both types of Tracking Technologies can be stored either for the duration of your visit on our Services or for repeat visits. Third Party Tracking Technologies will be governed by such third parties’ own privacy policies/cookies policies and principles, which the Company does not control.

There are various ways in which you can manage and control your Tracking Technologies settings. You can change your preferences through your browser settings or device settings to send a “Do-Not-Track” signal. In such a case, your browser will send us a special signal to stop tracking your activity. However, please note that certain features of the Services may not work properly or effectively if you delete or disable cookies.
