What is Personal Information?
When you interact with us through the Website, we collect your personal information. “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. Personal information does not include aggregate or de-identified personal data.
We collect personal information when you:
- Contact us. When you email us, for example, to ask questions regarding our company, products, and services, we collect from you, your personal identifiers (name and email address) and anything else you choose to include in your message. We use this information to respond to your questions or inquiries, troubleshoot where necessary, or address any issues you have with the Website.
- Interact with us on social media. When you interact with our web pages on social networking websites, such as LinkedIn (each, a “Social Media Page”) (collectively, “Social Media Pages”), we collect basic engagement metrics and use it to tailor content and marketing as set forth in this section. Please note that we do not control the use or storage of the information that you have posted to any Social Media Page. This information is collected and processed by the social networking websites for their own purposes, including marketing. For more information on how Social Media Pages use your personal information, please see LinkedIn’s Privacy Notice. We also use a social marketing tool to collect information about the activity on our Social Media Pages and identify the most active users in our community. We receive this information in aggregated form only.
- Social Media Pages. When interacting with our Social Media Pages, we may collect from you, your personal identifiers (first and last name, social media handle, and profile picture) as well as any information that you provide when interacting with our Social Media Pages (e.g. commenting, sharing and rating). We may use this information to communicate with users.
- Because our Social Media Pages are publicly accessible, when you use them to interact with other users, for example by posting, leaving comments or liking or sharing posts, any personal information that you post in them or provide when registering can be viewed by others or used by them as they see fit.
- The content posted on our Social Media Pages or other public areas of social networking websites can be deleted in the same way as other content that you have created.
- Community Management. With the help of a third party, we collect from you, your interactions, including “likes”, shares, messages, and other interactions with the content, to analyze and evaluate how our content is perceived, to learn from it, and to improve our social media and marketing efforts.
- Direct Messages. When using direct message capabilities on Social Media Pages, the applicable Social Media Page collects from you, automatically, your internet or other electronic network activity information (IP address, date and time of the server request, time zone, specific browser or app function, access status, amount of data transferred, browser or app from which the Request comes, device type, operating system used, and its interface (e.g. Android or iOS), language, version of the operating system, and device identifiers). We do not use this information; its use is governed by the applicable Social Media Page’s Privacy Notice, a hyperlink to which is available above.
- Page Insights. When you visit our Social Media Pages, those sites record your IP address and other information about your usage behavior on our Social Media Page. The pages collect, through trackers in the browser of your device or via the advertising ID (IDFA from Apple or GAID from Google), when you open their app through your mobile device (e.g. smartphone or tablet). Social Media Pages use this information to create statistical evaluations for us of the use of the Social Media Page. We receive this information, from Social Media Pages, in the form of aggregated data and anonymous statistics regarding things like: age, gender, city/country, device, region and language settings of the users, proportion of men and women, the number of people reached, clicks on posts, “Likes” and reactions, comments and shared content, and total video views. We do not collect or process any other personal information in connection with the page insights.
- We do not retain this information independently. For information on data protection and the storage period on Social Media Pages in relation to the “Page Insights” function see their Privacy Policies. It has been contractually agreed with Social Media Pages that they are responsible for providing you with information about the processing for Page Insights.
- Information Processed Solely by Social Media Pages. We do not know how Social Media Pages use personal information for its own purposes, how long the personal information is stored on their sites or whether the Social Media Pages data is passed on to third parties.
- For example, if you are currently logged in to Facebook as a user, Facebook automatically collects, through trackers on your device, your Facebook ID or a link between the Facebook ID and the advertising ID (IDFA from Apple or GAID from Google) when you open the Facebook app through your mobile device (e.g. smartphone or tablet). This enables Facebook to understand that you have visited our Facebook Page along with other Facebook pages that you have clicked on, whether you clicked on Facebook buttons integrated into websites that partner with Facebook, and other online interactions that report user data to Facebook. Based on this data, content or advertising tailored to you can be offered.
