Information Collected via Technology.

Automatically Collected. When you interact with our Website and our Services, we may automatically collect certain technical information about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. That information may include 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, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), mobile device information, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Website, track users’ movements around the Website, 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 the Website or the Services again, it will recognize you.
Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visit to our Website. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We use Cookies and similar technologies to make the Website more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs.
Pixels. We may use remarketing services (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google) to advertise on third party websites to you after you visited our Website. We, and our third party vendors, may use pixels to inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past visits to our Website. Pixels are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, which are used to track online movements of website users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, Pixel tags are embedded invisibly in websites. For more information on the use of pixels, the privacy policies of these companies or to opt-out of such advertising placement, please seek out such information from Facebook, LinkedIn and Google. In collecting this type of information, we use Local Storage (LS) such as HTML5 to store content information and preferences. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our Website or to display advertising based upon your web browsing activity use LS such as HTML5 to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LS.

Do Not Track

We support Do Not Track (“DNT”). Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.

Links to Third Party Website

Our Website contains links to third-party websites and services (e.g. Typeform for surveys, Eventbrite for events registration) and some of those third-party websites may be co-branded with our logo (the “Third Party Services”). These Third Party Services are not our services. We do not control (and are not responsible for) third party content or privacy practices. Any personal data you provide to them is not covered by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review carefully the legal and privacy notices of all other digital services that you visit.
