• Contact details, including your first and last name and email address.
• Company information, such as your company’s name and location.
• User content, including the text and other data that you submit to us.
• Payment details, such as your payment card number, bank account number, and billing details, to the extent required to pay any fees in connection with the service. We rely on payment providers to process payments and we do not have access to payment card numbers.

• Other sources. We may obtain your personal information from other third parties, such as marketing partners, data providers, and publicly available sources.

Automatic data collection

We and our service providers may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with our services, such as:

• Device data, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s operating system, manufacturer and model, browser type, IP address, unique identifiers, language settings, mobile device carrier, and general location information such as city, state or geographic area; and
• Usage data, such as pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page, browsing history, and access times.

We use the following tools for automatic data collection:

• Cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor‘s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, helping us understand website user activity and patterns, and for advertising purposes. For example, Google Analytics collects information about how users use our website, which we then use to compile reports that disclose trends without identifying individual visitors, and help us improve our website.

• Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data, including on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
• 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.

To provide our services

This includes:

• Administering, hosting, and operating our services;

• Analyzing your use of our services to allow us to evaluate and improve the services.

For research, development, benchmarking, and improving our services

We may use personal information to analyze and improve the services, identify trends, and operate and expand our business activities. We may also create aggregated, anonymized, or other de-identified statistics, which we may use for lawful business purposes, including for analytics, forecasting, and strategic planning. 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.
