5.1 Types of Data We Collect. Personal Data. “ Personal Data ” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. “Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data, as described below.
5.2 Information You Provide to Us.
· We may collect Personal Data from you, such as but not limited to, your first and last name, address, phone number, date of birth, and email address when you create an account to log in to our network (“Account”).
· If you use our Service on your mobile device, including through our Application(s), we may collect your phone number and the unique device ID number.
· Our Service lets you store preferences like how your content is displayed. We may associate these choices with your ID, browser or the mobile device, and you can edit these preferences at any time.
· We MAY use a third-party payment processor to process orders for subscriptions to our Service. Therefore, all information necessary to complete such transactions may be submitted to our third-party payment processor, including your name, credit card information and billing information. We do not store this information directly on our servers, but this information may be shared with third parties who help process your payment. When you submit credit card numbers, that information MAY BE encrypted using industry standard technology.
· If your subscription to the Service is sponsored or paid for by a Sponsoring Entity, as defined in Section 6.5, such as your employer, you may be required to provide us with an access or discount code that can be used by us to identify your Sponsoring Entity when you sign up for a subscription that is discounted or paid for by such Sponsoring Entity.
· We retain information on your behalf, such as files and messages that you store using your Account.
· If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail, we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, in order to send you a reply.
· When you send messages or content (text, images, photographs, comments or any other kind of content that is not your e-mail address) on our Service, the information contained in your message or content will be stored in our servers and may be accessed by Safety Badger, Occupational Safety & Environmental Assoc., Inc, OR THIRD PARTIES, although we may remove certain identifying information from the content of your messages.
· We also collect other types of Personal Data that you provide to us voluntarily if you contact us via e-mail regarding support for the Service.
· We may also collect Personal Data, such as at other points in our Service that state that Personal Data is being collected.
5.3 Information Collected via Technology.
· Information Collected by Our Servers. To make our Service more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.
· Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer our Service, track users’ movements around our Service, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit our Service again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically collected data to Personal Data.
· Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Service. This type of information is collected to make our Service more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs.
· Pixel Tags. In addition, Safety Badger may use “Pixel Tags” (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies that are used to track online movements of Web users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded in Safety Badger in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in a format users can read, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user. We do not tie the information gathered by Pixel Tags to our users’ Personal Data. We also allow our Analytics Providers to use tracking pixels, agents, or other visitor identification technology that collects, uses, shares and stores data about you and your use of the Service.
· How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals. We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that might enable consumers to opt out of tracking on our Service.
· Mobile Services. We may also collect non-personal information from your mobile device if you have downloaded our Application(s). This information is generally used to help us deliver the most relevant information to you. Examples of information that may be collected and used include how you use the Application(s) and information about the type of device you use. In addition, in the event our Application(s) crash on your mobile device, we will receive information about your mobile device model software version and device carrier, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise improve the performance of our Application(s). This information is sent to us as aggregated information and is not traceable to any individual and cannot be used to identify an individual.
· Analytics Services. In addition to the tracking technologies we place, other companies may set their own cookies or similar tools when you visit our Service. This includes third party services that we may engage to help analyze how users use our Service. We may receive reports based on these parties’ use of these tools on an individual or aggregate basis. We use the information we get from Analytics Services only to improve our Service. The information generated by the Cookies or other technologies about your use of our Service (the “Analytics Information”) is transmitted to the Analytics Services. The Analytics Services use Analytics Information to compile reports on user activity. The Analytics Services may also transfer information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process Analytics Information on their behalf. Each Analytics Services’ ability to use and share Analytics Information is restricted by such Analytics Services’ Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. using our Service, you consent to the processing of data about you by Analytics Services in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
