We collect the following types of information:

  • Contact information, such as your name, address, email address, and telephone number.

  • Demographic information, such as gender, age or date of birth, marital status, military or veteran status, race or national origin, household composition, professional, education, or employment-related information, and information about your interests.
  • Financial information, such as payment card information (e.g. credit or debit card number, CVV code, expiration date) or other financial account information.
  • Internet or other network or device activity, such as information about the browsers and devices you use to access our Applications, emails, and advertisements (e.g. device type, browser type and language, hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and IP address) and how you interact with our Applications, emails, and advertisements (e.g. features used, content viewed, addresses of referring websites, and the dates and times of interactions).
  • Location information, including geolocation when using our Applications.
  • Electronic, audio, visual, or similar information, such as your communications with us or photos, videos, or other content you submit to us or publish in connection with our Applications.
  • Other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with you.

How We Collect Information

We collect the types of information described above in three ways:  (1) when you provide it to us; (2) when we collect it automatically; and (3) and when we receive it from other sources.

Information you provide to us

You provide information to us when you register for an account, use our Applications, communicate with us, or otherwise submit or publish your information.  For example, when you register for an account, you may provide contact information, account login or verification information, demographic information, financial information.  When using the Applications, you may provide demographic information or other information about yourself, including your answers to personality-assessment or other survey questions.  You might also provide information when communicating with us (for example, regarding our Applications or when seeking technical support) or linking to us or our Applications on social media or other websites.

Information we collect automatically

We automatically collect internet or other network or device activity information about your interactions with our Applications, emails, and advertisements, even if you are not logged into an account with us.  This information may be collected as follows:

  • Cookies and similar technologies.
    • Cookies and similar technologies are pieces of information stored directly on the device you are using.
    • Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent on the Applications, pages visited, and language preferences.
    • We and our service providers use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, and to personalize your online experience and our marketing and advertising efforts. In addition, we use cookies to gather statistical information about usage of the Applications in order to improve their design and functionality, understand how they are used, and assist us with resolving questions about them.
    • You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers will allow you to: (i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set your browser to automatically reject any cookies. If you set your browser to reject cookies, parts of the Applications may not work for you.
    • For more general information on cookies, please read “What Are Cookies”.
  • Pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or other similar technologies.
    • These may be used in connection with some of our Applications, emails, or advertisements (for example, to track the actions of our users, compile statistics about Application usage and response rates, determine whether you have opened and acted upon our emails, and assess the effectiveness of our marketing).
  • Analytics and advertising.
    • To better understand how users engage with our Applications, we use third-party analytics services that use cookies and similar technologies, including services provided by Google and Adobe. Please visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ and http://www.adobe.com/privacy/marketing-cloud.html for more information about how Google and Adobe collect and use data when you use their partners’ websites or mobile applications.
    • We may also use third-party advertising services to provide advertisements for our services. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites, and they may be members of industry self-regulatory groups such as the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), and European Digital Advertising Alliance (eDAA). The websites for these groups provide more information on interest-based online advertising and how to opt out of receiving interest-based online ads from participating companies.
  • Do Not Track requests.
    • Some browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals to the websites you visit. Because there is not common agreement about how to interpret DNT signals, we do not take action in response to them.
  • Location information.
    • We may collect information about the location of your device, including precise geolocation information from your device and imprecise location from, for example, your IP address.
    • You may be able to adjust the location settings of your device to control whether it communicates location information. See your device settings for more information.
  • Purchase information and history.
    • We may collect information about your transactions with us.

Our Applications may contain links to other sites, mobile applications, or third-party services, or plug-ins from social-media platforms or other third parties.
