4. Categories of Third Parties We Share Personal Information With

From time to time, we may
establish a business relationship with other businesses whom we believe
trustworthy and who have confirmed that their privacy practices are

with Service Providers to provide certain services, such as hosting and
maintenance, data storage and management, and marketing and promotions.
We only provide our Service Providers with the information necessary
for them to perform these services on our behalf. Each Service Provider
must agree to use reasonable security procedures and practices,
appropriate to the nature of the information involved, in order to
protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or
disclosure. Service Providers are prohibited from using Personal
Information other than as specified by us.

control with us, where such affiliates or subsidiaries are acting as our
Service Provider, or where required by law.

we may disclose or transfer Personal Information in connection with
such transaction.

We cooperate with government
and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply

NUMBERS OR CUSTOMER INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH THE PROGRAM TO ANY

our complete Mobile Messaging Terms and Conditions, please see the Terms

6. Cookies
We may use cookies (a small
text file placed on your computer to identify your computer and web
browser) and may use anonymous identifiers (a random string of
characters that is used for the same purposes as a cookie). We may use
cookies and other similar technologies to analyse use of and improve the
Site and Services and as described in the Advertising and Online
Tracking Section of this Privacy Policy. Most web browsers are initially
set up to accept cookies. You can reset your web browser to refuse all
cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent, however, certain
features of the Site or Services may not work if you delete or disable
cookies. Some of our Service Providers (defined below) may use their own
cookies, anonymous identifiers, or other tracking technology in
connection with the services they perform on our behalf.
We may use Google Analytics
on the Site and Services to analyse how users use the Site and Services,
and to provide advertisements to you on other websites. For more
information about how to opt out of having your information used by
Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
7. Session Replay Technology
We use session replay
technology on our Site. Session replay technology, also referred to as
session playback or user experience (UX) replay, collects information
regarding records and tracks your interactions with a website or
application. It then transforms those logged user events (such as mouse
movements, clicks, page visits, scrolling, tapping, etc.) into a
reproduction of what you actually did on the website or application. We
use session replays for quality control, customer service, fraud
prevention and security, and marketing purposes. Our session replay
technology is owned and operated by a third-party who acts as our
service provider. The information collected by this technology may be
collected by, transferred to, and stored by our third-party service
provider.
8. ChatBot Technology
We use chatbots to help
provide customer service and support, including through the use of a
virtual assistant. A chatbot is a software application that mimics human
conversations in text or voice interactions on our website or through
our customer service hotline. It enables the communication between a
human and a machine, which can take the form of messages or voice
commands. The chatbot is designed to work without the assistance of a
human operator. It responds to questions posed to it in natural language
as if it were a real person using a combination of pre-programmed
scripts and machine learning algorithms. When asked a question, the
chatbot will answer using the knowledge database that is currently
available to it. If the conversation introduces a concept it isn’t
programmed to understand; it will pass it to a human operator. If you
use our chatbot service, we will collect any information you provide to
us. We will also create and store a transcript of your chat interaction
with us which will be shared with and stored by our third-party service
provider. We use these transcripts and the information you provide for
quality control, customer service, fraud prevention and security.
9. Advertising and Online Tracking
We may place advertisements
and allow third-party companies to serve ads and collect certain
information when you visit the Site. These companies may use certain
information (e.g. click stream information, web browser type, time and
date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your
visits to this Site and other websites in order to provide
advertisements about goods and services likely to be of interest to you.
(i.e., for cross-contextual behavioral advertising). These companies
may also collect information about your activities on our Site on your
current device and combine it with information about your activities on
other websites, mobile apps, and devices. These companies typically
collect such information using server logs, cookies, web beacons, tags,
pixels, mobile advertising IDs (such as Facebook cookies or Google's
Advertising ID), cross-device linking, and similar technologies. They
may match your browsers or devices if you log into the same online
service on multiple devices or if your devices share similar attributes
that support an inference that they are used by the same person or
household. This means that information about your activity on websites
or apps on your current browser or device may be combined and used with
information collected from your other browsers or devices. These third
party partners use this information for our and their own advertising,
analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes.
Our systems do not recognise
browser “Do Not Track” signals, but several of our Service Providers
who utilise these cookies on this Site enable you to opt out of targeted
advertising practices. To learn more about these advertising practices
or to opt out of this type of advertising, you can visit
www.networkadvertising.org or www.aboutads.info/choices/. Options you
make are device specific.
10. Managing Your Information Preferences
You can opt out of receiving
marketing e-mails from us by following the link provided at the bottom
of all marketing e-mails you receive from us. You are able to opt out of
receiving marketing e-mails from us, however, you cannot opt out of
receiving all e-mails from us, such as e-mails about the status of your

11. Be Careful When You Share Information with Others
Please be aware that
whenever you share information on any public area of the Site or
Services, that information may be accessed by others. In addition,
please remember that when you share information in any other
communications with third parties, that information may be passed along
or made public by others. This means that anyone with access to such
information can potentially use it for any purpose, including sending
unsolicited communications. We cannot control and are not responsible
for what such third parties may do with your information, so you should
exercise caution when choosing to share it.
12. Security
We maintain physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards to help protect the
confidentiality and security of information transmitted to us. However,
no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure, and no security measures can provide
absolute protection. As a result, while we strive to protect information
transmitted on or through the Site or Services, we cannot and do not
guarantee the security of any information you transmit on or through the
Site or Services, or that you otherwise provide to us, and you do so at
your own risk.
13. Links
Our Site and Services may
contain links to other websites or allow others to send you such links. A
link to a third party’s website does not mean that we endorse it or
that we are affiliated with it. We do not exercise control over
third-party websites and are not responsible for their practices. You
access such third-party websites or content at your own risk. You should
always read the privacy policy of a third-party website before
providing any information to the website.
