personal data voluntarily, including but not limited to your name, company position, postal address, telephone
number, mobile number, fax number, email address, account usernames, or passwords. The personal data that you

1.2. Automatic data collection
When you use our website, products, or services, we may collect certain data automatically from your computers
or devices. The data we collect automatically may include your IP address, device type, operating system

and other technical information. We may also collect data about how your device has interacted with our website,
products or services, including the pages or features accessed and links clicked, the amount of time spent on
pages, mouse hovers, the date and time of the interaction, error logs, referring and exit pages and URLs, and

website, products and services.
Some of the data may be collected automatically using tracking technologies.
We may collect logs and other data about access to and traffic passing through our network and equipment
for the purposes of availability and performance monitoring, maintenance, security monitoring and

the enhancement of existing products and services, generating statistics, reporting, and trend analysis.
1.3. Data obtained from third party sources
From time to time, we may receive personal data about you from third party sources, but only where
such third parties have confirmed that they have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted
or required to disclose your personal data to us.
1.4. Cookies and other tracking technologies
A cookie is a small text file that gets entered into the memory of your browser by a website,
allowing the website to store information on your machine and later retrieve it.
Our website, products, and services may use cookies, unique device identifiers, and other tracking
technologies to distinguish you from other users and better serve you when you return to the website,
product, or service, and to monitor and analyze the usage of the website, product, or service.
Cookies also enable us and our third-party partners to track and target the interests of our
users to enhance the on-site or in-product experience through content, features, and advertisements.
We, along with our service providers, may also use other Internet technologies, to deliver or
communicate with cookies and track your use of our website, product, or service, as well as serve
you ads and personalize/customize your experience when you are using our website, product, or
service and/or when you are on other websites where those cookies can be accessed.
As explained above, we occasionally share information you have provided to us with service
providers, who will de-identify the information and associate it with cookies that enable us
to reach you. We may also help these service providers place their own cookies, by deploying a
cookie that is associated with a ‘hashed’ value associated with interest-based or demographic
data, to permit advertising to be directed to you on other websites, applications or services.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline
cookies by visiting the Help portion of your browser’s toolbar. If you choose to decline cookies,
please note that your ability to sign in, customize, or use some of the interactive features of
our website, product, or service may be impeded, and the advertisements you see may not be as
relevant to you.
1.5. Location information
We may collect different types of information about your location, including general information
and more specific information. This information may be used to customize the services provided
to you, such as location-based information, advertising, and features. To do this, your location
information may be shared with our agents, vendors, or advertisers. If you do not want your
device to provide us with location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other
location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to do this. See
your device manufacturer’s instructions for further details.
2. Legal basis for processing personal data
Our legal basis for collecting and using personal data will depend on the personal data
concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
However, we will normally collect personal data from you only where we need the personal
data to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests
and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms,
or where we have your consent to do so. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation
to collect personal data from you or may otherwise need the personal data to protect your
vital interests or those of another person.
If we collect and use your personal data in reliance on our legitimate interests, or those
of any third party other than as described in this privacy policy, we will make clear to
you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
We always try to collect only the bare minimum of data, and hold these data only as long
as needed. Your personal data is used only when needed, we routinely try to exclude your
personal data of any use where it is not necessary.
