Usage Data, such as information about how you use the Services and interact with us, including information that we collect automatically from you when you are using the Services.
Other information, not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

Information That We Collect Automatically

We and our service providers may automatically collect certain information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction with the Services, online resources and your communications with us, such as:

Unique device identifier
Device type, such as your phone, computer, or tablet
IP address
Browser type
Date and time stamps, such as the date and time you first accessed the Services

Other information regarding your interaction with the Services, such as clickstream data and ad impressions

We use the following tools for automatic data collection:

Cookies are text files that websites store on a user‘s device to uniquely identify the user’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of helping users navigate between pages efficiently, remembering user preferences, enabling functionality, and helping us understand user activity and patterns.
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. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on webpages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We may tie the information gathered by clear GIFs to your personal information. We may use clear GIFs in our HTML-based e-mails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

Information We Obtain From Third Parties

We may obtain information about you from outside sources. Such information may include information from third parties that you choose to share with us, such as when you choose to interact with us on our social media platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, X, etc.) These social networking services may be able to collect information about you, including your activity on our website.
