Information We Collect

We collect two types of information from users of our Services: “Personal Information,” which is information that you provide that can be used to identify you (such as your name or your email address), and “Aggregate Information,” which is information that cannot be used to identify you (such as frequency of visits to the Services and your browser type).

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US

General.  We collect Personal Information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use our Services.  For example, you may provide us with your contact information such as your email address, first and last name, your company name, the content of your communication, or other Personal Information when you choose to submit such information to us through email, an online form, or other method (such as when you request a product demo on our Site). If you interact with us on social media, we may collect your social media profile information, your communications with us, and your communications and posts on our social media pages.

Account.  When you use our Services, you and authorized users associated with your account may provide certain information to us for purposes of creating an account. For example, you may provide us with your business contact and related information such as your phone number, email address, company name and information, and your first and last name.

INFORMATION WE AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT 

When you use our Services, we automatically receive and collect information from your device.  This information includes the following:

  • Information about your device, such as the operating system, hardware,
    system version, Internet Protocol (IP) address (and related derived
    location), device ID, and device language.
  • The specific actions that you take when you use our Services, including
    but not limited to the pages and screens that you view or visit, search
    terms that you enter, and how you interact with our Services.
  • The time, frequency, connection type, and duration of your use of our
    Services.
  • Information regarding your interaction with email messages, for example,
    whether you opened, clicked on, or forwarded the email message.

    uniquely identify your device or browser (as further described below).

EMPLOYMENT 

If we have collected your Personal Information through our “Careers” page in response to a job opening, you are giving us permission to use and retain your Personal Information for the purpose of evaluating your application for employment consideration for the specific position that you applied to, as well as other roles at Effodio.  This Personal Information may be processed and stored by a third-party talent tracking solution provider as well as with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work relating to the recruitment process on our behalf.

AGGREGATE INFORMATION COLLECTED

Aggregate Information is information that does not identify you.  Aggregate Information may be collected when you use our Services, independent of any information you voluntarily enter. Additionally, we may use one or more processes to de-identify information that contains Personal Information, such that only Aggregate Information remains.  We may collect, use, store, and transfer Aggregate Information without restriction.

COOKIES 

Like most websites, our Sites may use “cookies.”  Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser to help us identify you when you come to our Sites.
