Please be aware that information you post may be viewed, used, or captured by anyone who visits the Services; therefore, you should avoid posting sensitive personal information that you would not want to be available to the public.

 

  • Contest, Sweepstakes, and Survey Information, including information provided when you enter a contest or sweepstakes, information included in any responses submitted through surveys or questionnaires (e.g., feedback on post-sale transactions, offers that you indicate you may or may not be interested in or have redeemed), or the content of any testimonials.

How we use it

As is true of many digital properties, we and our third-party partners may automatically collect information you provide to us and information about your device and use of the Service when you visit or interact with our Services.

 

The type of information automatically collected includes:

 

  • Device data, including internet protocol (IP) address, device or other digital IDs, operating system, device type and version, browser type and version, browser id, the URL entered and the referring page/campaign, date/time of visit, other user agent string data, the time spent on our Services, and any errors that may occur during the visit to our Services. Device data may overlap with the other categories of data listed below.

 

  • Analytics/Usage data, including the path taken to our Services, through our Services, and when exiting our Services, usage and activity on or in connection with our Services (e.g., pages visited, whether you have visited or left a third-party property, links clicked, videos watched, offers viewed, clicked, or redeemed, other “conversion” data such as actions taken in response to ads or whether surveys have been completed or abandoned), metrics on how many emails we send are actually opened and which attachments or links are opened, clicked, or viewed. We may also use third-party tools to collect information you provide to us or information about how you use the Services, including mouse movements, scrolling, clicks, and keystroke activity on the Services and other browsing, search, or purchasing behavior (e.g., shopping cart abandonment). These tools may also record information you enter when you interact with our Services or engage in chat or other features through our Services.

 

  • Location data, including geographic location we or our third-party providers may collect, such as via permissions within the app operating system or browser functionality.

 

Note that we and our third-party partners may combine information that each of us collects automatically with other information about you, including information you choose to provide.

Third-Party Sources

 

We also obtain personal information from third parties, which we often combine with personal information we collect either automatically or directly from an individual. For example, we may receive the same categories of personal information described above from the following third parties:

 

  • Other Users who Interact with our Services: We may receive your information from other users who interact with our Services.

 

  • Business Partners: We may receive your information from our business partners, such as companies that offer their products or services on our Services or on other properties (e.g., digital properties, offline locations) or marketing/advertising and analytics partners.

 

  • Social Media Networks: When an individual interacts with our Services through various social media networks, such as when someone logs in through a social network, “Likes” us on Facebook, or follows us or shares our content on Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or other social networks, we may receive some information from those social networks including your profile information and any other information you permit the social network to share with third parties. We use this information to allow you to log into your account, to communicate or interact with individuals on the social network, to better understand the demographics of our visitors, and to personalize content and advertising. Individuals should always review and, if necessary, adjust their privacy settings on third-party websites and social media networks and services before sharing information or linking or connecting them to other services.

 

  • Service Providers: Our service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as payment processors or survey providers and third parties who conduct marketing/advertising and analytics activities on our behalf, collect personal information and may share some or all of this information with us.

 

  • Information Providers: We may, from time to time, obtain information from third-party information providers to correct or supplement personal information we collect. For example, we may obtain updated contact information from third-party information providers to reconnect with an individual or obtain demographic information (e.g., interests, preferences).

 

  • Other Sources: We may also collect personal information about individuals that we do not otherwise have from, for example, publicly available sources, third-party data providers, brand partnerships, or through transactions such as mergers and acquisitions.
