2. Information Collection.

Information You Provide.

We collect information about you when you use our Services, including information you provide when you register an account, update your profile, access our content, make a purchase, participate in a promotion, contact support, or apply for a job. The categories of information we collect include:

Contact Data, including your first and last name, email address, and non-Genvid account IDs.

Demographic Data about you tied to your personal information, such as your age and/or date of birth, country/region of residence, and preferences.

Job Applicant Data, including your employment and education history, portfolio, references, and background check information as necessary to consider your job application for open positions.

You may choose to voluntarily provide other information to us that we do not request, and, in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information.

Information Collected Automatically.

In addition, we automatically collect information when you use our Services. The categories of information we automatically collect include:

Service Use Data, including data about features you use, pages you visit, emails you view, products and services you view, the time of day you browse, and your referring and exiting pages.

Device Data, including data about the type of device or browser you use, your device’s operating software, your internet service provider, your device’s regional and language settings, and device identifiers such as IP address, device ID, and Ad Id (which is a user-resettable identifier associated with your mobile device).

Location Data, including non-precise location data (such as location derived from an IP address or data that indicates a city or postal code level).

Customer Support Data, including interactions with customer support representatives for purposes of quality assurance.

The types of tracking technologies we use to automatically collect this information include:

Cookies, which are small data files stored on your browser that save data about your visit. Cookies often include a unique identifier (e.g., cookie #123). We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate our website and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies help with personalizing your experience, remembering your preferences, and supporting security features. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time, and expire on a set expiration date or when they are deleted manually. To learn more about how we use cookies, please visit our Cookie Policy.

Pixels (also known as web beacons), which is code embedded in a service that sends information about your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). When you access a service that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us or a separate entity to drop or read cookies on your browser, or collect other information about your visit. We may incorporate pixels from separate entities that allow us to track analytics.

Device Fingerprinting, which is the process of analyzing and combining sets of data elements from your device’s browser, such as JavaScript objects and installed fonts, to create a “fingerprint” of your device and uniquely identify your browser and device.

For further information on how we use tracking technologies for analytics, and your rights and choices regarding them, see the “Analytics” and “Your Rights and Choices” sections below.

Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit.

Where applicable, we will transfer your personal data to third countries subject to appropriate or suitable safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.

Your Rights.

You have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we have collected about you. You also have the right to data portability and the right to restrict or object to our processing of personal data we have collected about you. In addition, you have the right to ask us not to process your personal data (or provide it to third parties to process) for marketing purposes or purposes materially different than for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. You may withdraw your consent at any time for any data processing we do based on consent you have provided to us.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as set out in the “Contact Us” section above and specify which right you are seeking to exercise. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may require specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction.
