1. The information we collect about you.

Personal Information is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.  We do not consider personal information to include information that can no longer be used to identify a specific natural person, whether in combination with other information or otherwise.

We collect information from you both when you provide it voluntarily and also automatically when you use our Services.  We may also collect personal information from other sources, as described below.

For more information about the personal information we collect, read on below.

We collect personal information from you and any devices (including mobile devices) you use when you: use our Services, register for an account with us, make a purchase, provide us information on a web form, engage or connect with us through one of our social media pages, update or add information to your account, chat with a customer support specialist, or when you otherwise correspond with us.

In addition, we also collect personal information about you from third parties in connection with our Services, including from the following sources:

• E-commerce service providers
• Email, chat and other communications service providers
• Customer service providers
• Data analytics service providers
• Advertising providers
• Social media platforms

For more information about the types of your personal information we may use, see the detailed descriptions below.

We may use the following categories of personal information in connection with your use of our Services:

• Personal contact details, such as name, title, addresses, telephone numbers, and personal email addresses
• Date of birth
• Gender
• Social media account information
• Account preferences
• Financial information, such as credit card numbers
• Location information
• Device ID or unique identifier, device type, ID for advertising, order ID, and unique device token
• Computer and connection information such as statistics on your page views, traffic to and from the sites, referral URL, ad data, your IP address, your browsing history, and your web log information

We never request or require you to provide any of the following special categories of data, but through our chat services and customer services interactions, we know that sometimes customers and users of the Services choose on their own to share the following kinds of personal information with us:

• Information about your race or ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation and political opinions
• Information about your health, including any medical conditions, diagnoses and/or injuries

Again, we will never request or require this type of information!  But if you decide to share it with us, our business partners who provide tools to support our chat and customer service interactions generally maintain a copy of transcripts and recordings for all customer service transactions, but we do not use or disclose it for any purposes other than resolving or analyzing complaints, suggestions or issues brought to our attention by you.

• Cookies. Our Services use “cookies” and similar technologies.  Cookies are small text files sent by your computer or device each time you visit our Services, which are unique to your account, browser or device.  Cookies make web surfing and browsing easier for you by saving your preferences so that we can use these to improve your next visit to our Services – for example, remembering your login information.  Cookies help us learn which areas of our Services are useful and which areas need improvement. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser. However, if you choose to disable this function, your experience with our Services may be impaired and some features may not work as they were intended. When we use cookies or other similar technologies, we may set the cookies ourselves or ask third parties to do so to help us.

Cookies may be either persistent or temporary (or session) cookies.  A persistent cookie retains user preferences for a particular website allowing those preferences to be used in future browsing sessions and remains valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A temporary cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

• Pixels, Beacons. We or third party ad servers may use invisible pixels or beacons on the Services to count how many users visit certain pages or content. This information is collected and reported in the aggregate. We may use this information to improve our marketing programs and content, and to target advertisements to you.
• Other Non-Personal Information. In addition to personal information you choose to provide us or that is automatically collected by us and our third-party service providers when you use the Services, we and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies to automatically collect certain usage information whenever you visit or interact with the Services. This information may include browser type, operating system, the page served, the time, the source of the request, the preceding page view, and other similar information (collectively, “Usage Information”).

2. How we may use information about you.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes identified below, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose described here. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Some of your personal information, such as a way to identify you, is necessary to enter into our [Terms and Conditions] or other agreement we have with you. The provision of all other personal information is voluntary, but may be necessary in order to use our Services, such as registering and viewing a webinar or receiving support and customer service through customer support chat.

We may also use your personal information in the following situations, which are likely to be rare:

• Where we need to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests).
• Where it is needed in the public interest.

Notwithstanding the above, we will only use the “special categories” of data described in the “The Information we collect about you” section above in very limited circumstances and only with your express consent or, less commonly, we may use this type of data where it is needed in relation to legal claims or where it is needed to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests) and you are not capable of giving your consent, or where you have already made the information public

We will never ask you for such special categories of information, but if you provide it to us in your communications with us, such as, for instance, in customer support chats, we and our third party service providers who we employ to assist us manage customer- and visitor-provided requests and communications will store, but not otherwise use or disclose, such information in accordance with our standard data retention policies.

If you do not wish for us to have such special categories of personal information, please do not disclose it to us.
