Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms

We and our service providers may use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site or services. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our service providers may do so on our behalf).

Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your device’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and service. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

  • Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your device when you close your browser or turn off your device. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site and services. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site and services.
  • Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you have closed your browser or turned off your device. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity, and to display advertising both on our Site, services, and on websites of other entities.

Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our Site and services who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function.

Analytics. We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site. We use these tools to help us improve the performance of our Site and our user’s experience on our Site. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons or local storage objects (LSOs), to perform their services. To learn more about Google’s privacy practices, please review the Google Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy . You can also download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout .

Cross-Device Use. We and our service providers, including Google, may use the information that we collect about you to help us and our service providers identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, computer, etc.). We, and our service providers, also may use the cross-device use and other information we learn about you to serve targeted advertising on each of your devices and to send you emails. To opt-out of cross-device advertising, you may follow the instructions set forth in the Ad Networks section below. Please note: if you opt-out of these targeted advertising cookies, your opt-out will be specific to the web browser, app, or device from which you accessed the opt-out. If you use multiple devices or web browsers, you will need to opt-out each browser or device that you use.

Do-Not-Track. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies); you also may opt-out of targeted advertising by following the instructions in the Ad Network section.

Ad Networks

We use network advertisers to serve advertisements on our Site and on non-affiliated websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). This enables us and these network advertisers to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These cookies and other technologies are governed by each entity's specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these advertisers with information, including personal information, about you.

As noted above, we disclose certain information (such as your hashed email address) to Facebook Custom Audiences (for more information on Facebook Custom Audience or to change your preferences, log into your Facebook and search for ad preferences)—so that we can better target ads and content to you and others with similar ("Custom Audiences"). You may also control how Facebook and other third parties display certain ads to you, as explained further in their respective privacy policies or by using the opt-outs described below.

Users may opt out of many ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Consumer Choice Page (optout.aboutads.info) for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by DAA companies (youradchoices.com/learn). To control interest based advertising on your mobile device from participating companies, you can download the DAA AppChoices Tool from your app store. Please visit youradchoices.com/appchoices to learn more.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page will opt you out from those companies' delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Site, services, or on other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA, your opt out may not be effective. Additional information is available on the DAA's website at www.aboutads.info .

Links

Our Site may contain links to non-affiliated entity websites. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those websites. We are not responsible for the information practices of such websites.

App Additional Terms

App Installation IDs. If you are an App user, we do not use cookies on the App, but instead use App Installation IDs to recognize you. We use the App Installation ID and mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of the App on your device. The Software may record information such as how often you use the App, the activity that occurs within the App, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the App was downloaded from.

Personal Information. We collect personal information:

  • directly from you (for example, when you download the App, set-up an App account, submit information, data or content);
  • through automated technologies and interactions (for example, as you interact with and use our services); and
  • from Apple or Google if you choose to provide your email when you login to the App.

Location data. We may collect location data (i.e., the general geolocation of your device) for example, to provide location-based features.

Device and technical data, such as your browser type, operating system, and your IP address (a unique address that identifies your computer on the Internet), the full URL clickstream (i.e. where you have come from on the internet and where you go to, date and time) when you enter our Website or your device type, operating system, a random ID associated with the App release number, the App Installation ID (which is a random installation ID number generated by your device when the App is installed) and your IP address when you use the App.

Collectively, the data collected under this Mobile App Section is “App Data”. This Policy covers App Data, but other personal information input by users of the App is covered by a separate agreement with the user’s employer.

Security of My Personal Information

We have implemented reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our efforts, no data security measures can guarantee security.

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

What Choices Do I Have Regarding Use of My Personal Information?

We may send periodic promotional emails to you. You may opt-out of promotional emails by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email. If you opt-out of receiving promotional emails, we may still send you transactional emails about your account or any services you have requested or received from us.

Children Under 13

Our services are not designed for children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our systems.
