Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

- Email address
- First name and last name
- Phone number
We also collect:
-
Geolocation Data: We collect geolocation data in two ways:
- General Location: Our analytics provider, Google Analytics, may derive your general geographic location from your IP address as part of collecting Usage Data.
- Specific Location on Form Submission: When you submit information through a contact form on our Service, we use the third-party service ipgeolocation.io to determine more specific geolocation data derived from your IP address (such as city and network) for internal traffic analysis purposes.
-
Usage Data (see below)
Usage Data
Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service.
Usage Data may include information such as Your Device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that You visit, the time and date of Your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, diagnostic data, and general location inferred from your IP address. This data is often collected via standard web server logs and analytics services like Google Analytics.
When You access the Service by or through a mobile device, We may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of mobile device You use, Your mobile device unique ID, the IP address of Your mobile device, Your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browser You use, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
We may also collect information that Your browser sends whenever You visit our Service or when You access the Service by or through a mobile device.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service offered by Google Inc. ("Google"), to help us analyze how users use the Service.

This information includes your IP address, which Google uses to determine your general geographic location and provide aggregated, anonymized reporting to us.
We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Service and understand usage patterns. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with other personally identifiable information you may provide to us.
Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Third-Party IP Geolocation Service
In addition to the general location data collected by Google Analytics, when you submit a contact form on our Service, we utilize the service provided by ipgeolocation.io to obtain geolocation data (such as city and network) associated with the IP address submitting the form. This information is used solely for internal purposes, specifically to analyze the geographic distribution of inquiries and understand our user base better. The processing of this data by ipgeolocation.io is governed by their own privacy policy, which you can review on their website (https://ipgeolocation.io/privacy.html).
Tracking Technologies and Cookies
We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons, tags, and scripts) to track the activity on Our Service, store certain information, and improve and analyze Our Service.

However, if You do not accept certain Cookies (like those potentially needed for basic functionality), You may not be able to use some parts of our Service.

Cookies can be "Persistent" or "Session" Cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on Your personal computer or mobile device when You go offline, while Session Cookies are deleted as soon as You close Your web browser. You can learn more about cookies on the TermsFeed website article.
