The Types of Information We Collect
We may collect and receive information about you from various sources, including: (a) directly from you when you provide it to us, (b) indirectly from you when you use the Portal Services, and (c) from third-party websites, services, and partners.
“Personal information” is any information that can be used to identify you or that we can link to you as an individual. We collect your personal information when you provide it to us.
Information you provide to us directly
You can use some of our Portal Services without providing us with any personal information. However, when you register for an Account, you provide us with personal information, including items such as your name and email address. Using your Account and accessing other portions of our Portal Services may require that you enter a password or other credentials. Your password or credentials are stored locally on your device or computer, and they are never transmitted to us.
If you contact us directly, we may also receive personal information and other information about you, such as your name, title, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide. We may also receive a confirmation when you open an email from us.
Information we may collect indirectly
We use browser cookies and similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) to collect and store certain information when you use, access, or interact with our Portal Services.
Cookies are small files of information, usually stored on your application, computer or device, that allows our web servers or our third-party services to recognize you. We store information that we collect through Cookies to record your preferences, settings and status for the Portal Services and to analyze how you use the Portal Services. In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the information referenced above in this paragraph may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws. (More details below under the section entitled “Your Choices and Rights.”)
With Cookies, we may, for example, collect information about the type of device you use to access the Portal Services, the operating system and version, your IP address, your general geographic location as indicated by your IP address, your browser type, and data on your interaction with the Portal Services (such as search terms you enter or your frequency of usage, including your usage across different websites and applications). We may also collect data regarding the functionality of our Portal Services, including system-level metrics, to help us operate, maintain and improve the performance and utilization of the Portal Services, to develop new features, protect the security and safety of our Portal Services and our customers, and to provide customer support. We also use this data to develop aggregate analysis and business intelligence that enable us to operate, protect, make informed decisions, and report on the performance of our business.
Information we may collect from third party sources
We may receive information about you from third parties that help us update, expand, and analyse our records, and to prevent or detect fraud. If you choose to link our Portal Services to a third-party account, we will receive information about that account, such as your authentication token from the third-party account, to authorize linking. Please note that the information we may receive is governed by the privacy settings, policies, and/or procedures of the third party.
We may also collect information from social media platforms that share information about how you interact with our social media content. Further, we may also receive publicly-available information about you from our third-party partners and combine it with data that we have about you.
