Personal information

By using, accessing, or purchasing our applications and/or visiting our websites (the “Product/Service”), you agree to the terms mentioned herein of this Privacy Policy. We declare that we are not in the business of selling your Personal Information to advertisers or spammers. “Personal Information” is any information, whether correct or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, that relates to you, and which, alone or in combination with other information, could reasonably be used to identify you. However, it does not include publicly available information that is lawfully made available to the general public from federal, state, or local government records. We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will indicate the most recent updated date at the top of the policy and highlight any significant changes to the policy. This Privacy Policy will apply to the use of all Products & Services that may be hosted by Gathr, or a third-party service provider on our behalf (a “Cloud Implementation”). If you are using our Product/Service as part of a service other than a Cloud Implementation (e.g., one that is hosted on-premises by your employer), then: (i) we are not collecting, using, or sharing any of your Personal Information; and (ii) the organization that makes the service available to you (or, if applicable, the third party that hosts the services on behalf of such organization) (the “Implementing Organization”) may collect, use, or share your Personal Information., Details of the Personal Information they collect may be found in their privacy policy. If you are using our Products/Service as part of an implementation of our “Product/Service” other than a Cloud Implementation, please contact the Implementing Organization to obtain information regarding what Personal Information they collect and how they use or share that information. In such cases, we shall not be responsible for the protection of Personal Information.

We may also collect this information indirectly, like from publicly available sources (such as your employer’s website or professional social networks such as LinkedIn), or from third-party data providers that maintain lists of individuals’ contact information. Other users of our “Product/Service” may also provide information about you when they submit content through the use of our “Product/Service.” For example, you may be mentioned in a technical support case opened by someone else. Similarly, an administrator may provide your data, such as when they designate you as the billing or technical contact on your company’s account. Please note that we may also have access to your Personal Information that our customers may have uploaded to our cloud services.

Information we collect

When you access or use our “Product/Service”, we may collect certain information about your device and your use of our “Product/Service”. Such information may include:

• Information, including version information, about the web browser or application you are using
• Products/services you purchased, with related pricing
• If you are using a mobile device, the model of the device and its operating system
• Crash data
• A unique identifier we assign to you

Location information

To provide certain features of our “Product/Service,” we may request your permission to access location information from your device. Some functions of our “Product/Service” may not work if you choose not to allow access to this location information. If you have provided your consent to share your location information through one of our applications or websites, you can restrict the access later by changing the settings on your device or by uninstalling the applications. In addition, even if you have not enabled location services for the applications or websites, we may derive your general location information from your use of the applications or websites, while using our Product/Service.

Cookies and similar technologies

When you use our websites, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies. A “cookie” is a file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected devices to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser, store information, or settings on the device. The information we collect in this manner enables us to serve the returning visitors better. For example, it can “remember” and auto-populate your email address in the future. We also use cookies to track responses to our marketing materials, such as emails and online advertisements. Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies or how to restrict or disable certain types of cookies. For more information about our cookies, please email support@gathr.one. Some of our websites also use marketing automation technology (Pardot) to collect data on visitor’s behaviour. These Pardot cookies help us track your visits to our websites and enable us to create an engaging marketing experience for you. We also use Pardot cookies to understand your interaction with the emails we send you and to ensure we’re sending you relevant information. Specifically, Pardot cookies let us know whether our emails have been opened and which links are clicked. For more information on Pardot privacy and cookie policy, please click here. Some of our websites may also feature cookies associated with certain unaffiliated companies. For example, we partner with other companies to connect you to certain social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. By engaging with such other companies’ sites, for instance, by clicking the Facebook “Like” button found on our website, such companies may place session or persistent cookies on your device. This may allow these third parties to collect information about your online activities over time and across websites. The use of these cookies is subject to such third-parties’ cookie policies, which we strongly recommend you review.

Web analytics and interest-based advertising

We may use web analytics services on our websites, such as those of Google Analytics. The service providers that administer these services use cookies to help us analyze how visitors use the site. The information collected through these means (including IP address) is disclosed or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate the use of the website or for advertising purposes, as described below. Some of our online advertising takes place through Google Display Advertising. As a part of this program, we use Google Analytics features such as Retargeting. We and the operators of these ad networks, including Google, may use third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) – and in some cases first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) – to inform, optimize, and serve ads across the internet based on a user’s past visits to our website. You can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads using the Google Ads Preferences Manager. To disable Google Analytics in general, please download the browser add-on for the deactivation of Google Analytics provided by Google at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. To learn more about other ad networks, including how to opt-out, click here.

Do not track

Some web browsers and mobile devices incorporate a “do not track” feature which, when enabled, signals to websites and online services that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to such a do-not-track signal, we do not recognize or respond to these signals.

Transferring/Exporting your Personal Information Globally:

We operate on a global basis. Accordingly, your personal data may be transferred and stored in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the Middle East, America and Asia-Pacific, which are subject to different standards of data protection. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that transfers of personal data are in accordance with applicable law and carefully managed to protect your privacy rights and interests. To achieve this, transfers are limited to countries which are recognized as providing an adequate level of legal protection or where we are satisfied that alternative arrangements are in place to protect your privacy rights

How we protect personal information

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Personal Information you provide against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use.

How long do we keep your personal information

We also ensure that, in compliance with applicable law, we do not retain Personal Information longer than necessary. We will keep your data as long as we have a relationship with you, for example, as long as you wish to continue receiving marketing messages from us, or as long as you are a customer (and for a reasonable period after that). When determining how long to retain Personal Information after we no longer have a relationship with you, we take into account how long our customers usually want to continue hearing from us, our legal obligations, and the expectations of regulators, as well as the length of time the information is needed for internal audit purposes and to exercise or defend our legal rights.
