Precise Location Information and How to Opt Out

When you use one of our location-enabled services in the Platform (for example, when you access the Platform from a device), we may collect and process information about your device’s GPS location (including the latitude, longitude or altitude of your device) and the time the location information is recorded to customize the services offered in the Platform with location-based information and features (for example, to inform you about experiences in your area).

We keep this data for no longer than is reasonably necessary for providing services to you. If you wish to use the particular feature, you will be asked to consent to your data being used for this purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time by disabling the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to do this.

Individual survey responses are confidential, although non-personal information may be collected and disclosed to third parties. If you do not wish to participate in a survey, simply decline to participate when asked.

Cookies, Clear Graphics Interchange Formats (“GIFs”) and Other Electronic Tools

We, and third parties with whom we partner, may use standard technologies called “cookies” and clear GIFs to collect information about how our Platform is used. A cookie is a small data text file, that is stored on your device (if your web browser permits) that enables us to recognize you (for example, as a registered user) when you visit our Platform, store your preferences and settings, enhance your experience by delivering content and advertising specific to your interests, perform research and analytics, track your use of our services, and assist with security and administrative functions. Cookies may be persistent or stored only during an individual session. Clear GIFs: Some of our service providers may employ clear GIFs (also known as pixel tags, single pixel GIFs, web beacons, device IDs, “flash cookies” or action tags) for our benefit to help us measure advertising effectiveness. Clear GIFs help us better manage content on the Platform by informing us of what content is effective. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, embedded invisibly on a webpage (or an online ad or Email), and is used to count or track things like activity on a webpage or ad impressions or clicks, as well as to access cookies stored on Users’ devices, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of our Users. The main difference between the two is that clear GIFs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
Most browsers are set to automatically allow cookies. Please note it may be possible to disable some (but not all) cookies through your device or browser settings, but doing so may interfere with certain functionality on the services. Major browsers provide users with various options when it comes to cookies. Users can usually set their browsers to block all third party cookies (which are those set by third party companies collecting information on websites operated by other companies), block all cookies (including first party cookies such as the ones we use to collect search activity information about our Users), or block specific cookies. To modify your cookie settings, please visit your browser’s help settings. You will need to opt out on each browser and each device you use to access the services. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies and cannot be removed or blocked via web browser settings. By using our services with your browser set to accept cookies you are consenting to our use of cookies.
Third parties whose products or services are accessible or advertised through the services, including social media services, may also use cookies or similar tools, and we advise you to check their privacy policies for information about their cookies and other practices.

Information Security

We have implemented industry-standard appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access to your information and to maintain data security.
These safeguards take into account the sensitivity of the information that we collect, process and store and the current state of technology. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
We use the Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) technology. SSL encrypts your order information as additional protection against the decoding of that information by anyone other than us. However, despite all reasonable security precautions and processes, such as password protection, encryption technology, and use of firewall technology, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. AS A RESULT, WHILE WE STRIVE TO PROTECT YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION YOU TRANSMIT TO OR FROM THE PLATFORM AND YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. Once we receive your transmission, we will take commercially reasonable precautions to protect its security on our systems. Your password(s) will be your personal, secret entry code(s) to access your personal account(s) on the Platform. In the event you have registered an account on the Platform and when you access your account information, it is kept on a secure server and a password is needed to access any account areas. You can change your password as many times as you like. We recommend that you keep your password in a safe place and that you always sign off your account and close your browser window once you have completed your visit. These precautions will help prevent someone else from accessing your account, especially if you share a device with other people or use a device in a public place such as an Internet café or library.
We assume no liability or responsibility for disclosure of your information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third party access, or other causes beyond our control. You play an important role in keeping your personal information secure. You should not share your user name, password, or other security information for your account with anyone. If we receive instructions using your user name and password, we will consider that you have authorized the instructions.
In case you would like to know more about how we keep your information secure, please reach out to us at [email protected] with your specific queries.
