  • Device data, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers (including identifiers used for advertising purposes), language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., WiFi, LTE, 3G), and general location information such as city, state or geographic area.

Cookies and similar technologies. Our Services may use the following technologies:

Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

 

How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

Service delivery. We use personal information to perform our contractual obligation under our terms of use, including to:

  • Provide, operate and improve our Services and our business;

  • Process your payments and complete transactions with you; and

  • Communicate with you about our Services, including by sending announcements, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages.

Improve, monitor, personalize, and protect our Services. It is in our legitimate business interests to improve and keep our services safe for our users, which includes:

  • Understanding your needs and interests, and personalizing your experience with the Services and our communications; 

  • Engaging in surveys and recording our video and audio chats with consumers;

  • Troubleshooting, testing and research to keep the services secure; and

  • Investigating and protecting against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized or illegal activity.

Research and development. We may use personal information for research and development purposes in our legitimate business interests, including to analyze and improve our Services and our business. As part of these activities, we may create aggregated, de-identified, or other anonymous data from personal information we collect. We make personal information into anonymous data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze and improve our Services and promote our business.

Marketing and advertising. We, our service providers, and our third-party advertising partners may collect and use personal information for the following marketing and advertising purposes:

  • Direct marketing. We may send you Shilala-related direct marketing communications as permitted by law, including by email. You may opt-out of our marketing communications as described in the Opt-out of marketing section.

  • Interest-based advertising. We may engage third party advertising companies and social media companies to display ads on our websites and other online services. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your interactions (including the data described in the “Automatic data collection” section) over time across our Services, and use that information to serve online ads that they think will interest you. This is called interest-based advertising. We may also share information about our users with these companies to facilitate interest-based advertising to them or similar users on other online platforms. You can learn more about your choices for limiting interest-based advertising in the “Your Choices” section below.

Except where consent is required, we undertake such marketing and advertising on the basis of our legitimate business interest. Where we seek your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

Compliance and protection. We may use personal information to comply with legal obligations, and to defend us against legal claims or disputes, including:

  • Protect our, your or others’ rights, privacy, safety, or property (including by making and defending legal claims);

  • Audit our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements and internal policies;

  • Enforce the terms and conditions that govern our Services;

  • Prevent, identify, investigate and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity, including cyberattacks and identity theft; and

Google reCAPTCHA. In order to protect our website and other features, we use Google reCAPTCHA provided by Google Inc. (“reCAPTCHA”) for all United States visitors. We employ reCAPTCHA to check whether data is entered into our forms by a person or by an automated program, script or bot. reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the person entering the data using various features. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website is accessed. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, browser type, settings, and plugins, URL of the referring website, time spent on the respective website, mouse movements, input characteristics of the data entry, including speed, sequence and selection of inputs, etc.). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to a Google server, where it is stored and evaluated. Your use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. For more information about reCAPTCHA, please visit: https://www.google.com/recaptcha.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal information available for viewing by third parties or the public on or through our Services, that information can be seen, collected and used by others. We are not responsible for any use of such information by others.

Online tracking opt-out. There are a number of ways to limit the tracking of your online activity and collection of device data through automated means, which we have summarized below:

  • Blocking cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies, including cookies used for interest-based advertising. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

  • Blocking advertising ID use in your mobile settings. Your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.

  • Using privacy plug-ins or browsers. You can block our websites from setting cookies used for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins like Privacy Badger, Ghostery or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Our Services may contain links to websites and other online services operated by third parties. In addition, our content may be integrated into web pages or other online services that are not associated with us.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed, in accordance with our retention policies, and in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory obligations or until you withdraw your consent (where applicable). 

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information, the purposes for which we use personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
