For the purposes of this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), we refer to our Website and the Network Platform, and any other products, services, and solutions we provide, together as the “Services.”

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Policy. This Policy (together with our Terms of Use and any other documents referenced therein or herein) describes the personal information that we may collect from you, or that you may provide on or through our Website, or that we otherwise collect about you in connection with the operation of the Services. This Policy also describes how that information may be used or disclosed by us and the choices available to you regarding your personal information.

Please read the following carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your personal information and how we may treat it. This Policy may change from time to time and your continued use of our Services is deemed to be acceptance of such changes, so please check this Policy periodically for updates.
If your company has purchased our Services, then the Services are intended for you as a representative of business and are not intended for you as an individual consumer. Accordingly, we will treat your personal information covered by this Policy as pertaining to you as an individual acting as a business representative, rather than acting in your personal or household capacity.

Personal Information We Collect

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including:

Information that you provide to us. This includes information, such as your name, email address and phone number(s), that you may provide by filling out any form on our Website, including in connection with subscribing to any service offered on our Website, posting any material on our Website, or requesting further information, products or services.

Records and copies of your correspondence with us (including emails) in the event you contact us.
Your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete voluntarily for research purposes.

Information Collected Through Our Data Network Platform

We collect information under the direction of our clients, and have no direct relationship with the
individuals whose personal information our clients process. Such information may include business information, such as company name, company size, company location and business type; business communications; and contact information, such as a person’s name, employer, job title, email address and phone number(s). Although we have no direct relationship with the individuals whose personal data our clients possess, we acknowledge that you have the right to access your personal information. An individual who seeks access to or who wants to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data found on our platform and provided by one of our clients, should direct his or her query to our client (the data controller).

Information We Collect Via Log Files, Cookies and Similar Technologies

As you navigate through our Website, for the purpose of system administration and in order to report aggregate information to our advertisers, we may also collect details of your visits to our Website, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, logs and other communication data, and the resources that you access, as well as information about your computer and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system and browser type. We may collect this information using cookies and similar technologies, as described in our Cookie Notice below.

Retention of Personal Information

Some data you can delete whenever you like, some data we will delete upon request, some data is deleted by our application automatically, and some data we retain for longer periods of time when necessary. This section describes why we hold onto different types of data for different periods of time.

Information retained until you remove it – such as your profile information, privacy settings, and account-related information. We will keep this data in your account until you choose to remove it and/or update it.
Information updated or deleted upon request – such as personally identifiable information that appears on our platform. We allow the “right to be forgotten”. To submit a request, please see “General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – European Representative” below or send an email to privacy@collectivei.com.
Data that expires after a specific period of time – in some cases, you don’t need to actively delete your information as we set retention timeframes based on the reason for the data’s collection. For instance, sales communications that are outdated and no longer useful for machine learning purposes can be deleted.
Information retained until your account is deleted – such as your username, password and log-in information. For security purposes, this information cannot be accessed after your account is deleted.
Information retained for extended time periods for limited purposes – sometimes business and legal requirements obligate us to retain certain information, for specific purposes, for an extended period of time. For example, when we process a payment for you, we need to retain this data for longer periods of time as required for tax or accounting purposes. Reasons we might retain some data for extended periods of time include: security, fraud and abuse prevention; financial record-keeping; complying with legal or regulatory requirements; and ensuring the continuity of our services.

Cookie Notice

This Cookie Notice explains how we uses cookies and similar technologies.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies 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 user activity and patterns, and facilitating online advertising.
Local storage technologies, like HTML5, 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, are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked. We refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”

What types of cookies and similar technologies do we use?

We use the following categories of cookies:

Purpose

Descriptions

Strictly necessary

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They allow us to enable security, prevent fraud and debug the website and are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but then some parts of the sites will not work.

Functional

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Performance

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Services. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Services. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our Services and will not be able to monitor performance.

Targeting

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

We use both persistent cookies and session cookies. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them, while session cookies are deleted once you close your web browser. Cookies may either be set by us (first party cookies) or by a third party at our request (third- party cookies).

How can you control the use of cookies?

Other than “essential cookies,” which are required to allow our Website to operate, you can limit online tracking by:

Blocking cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies, including cookies used for interest-based advertising. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
Blocking advertising ID use in your mobile settings. Your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.
Using privacy plug-ins or browsers. You can block our websites from setting cookies used for interest based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins like Privacy Badger, Ghostery, or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers. You can also opt out of Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Advertising industry opt out tools. You can also use these opt out options to limit use of your information for interest-based advertising by participating companies: – Digital Advertising Alliance for Websites: outout.aboutads.info – Digital Advertising Alliance for Mobile Apps: https://youradchoices.com/appchoices – Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org

Note that because these opt out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt out on every browser and device that you use.
