Usage Information Details of your visits to our Website, including which links you clicked on, content response times, location data, logs, and other similar communication data and statistics about your interactions.
Device Information Information about your computer and internet connection, including your Internet Protocol address, operating system, and browser type.

COOKIES AND OTHER AUTOMATIC DATA COLLECTION TECHNOLOGIES

Pipio and its partners use cookies or similar technologies, which store certain information on your computer and allows us to, among other things, analyze trends, administer the Website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. The technology used to collect information automatically from Pipio Users may include the following:

CookiesLike many websites, we and our operational partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use both persistent cookies that remain on your computer or similar device (such as to save your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Service and to track your compliance with the Pipio Terms of Use) and session ID cookies, which expire at the end of your browser session (for example, to enable certain features of the Service, to better understand how Pipio Users interact with the Service and to monitor aggregate usage by Pipio Users and web traffic routing on the Service). You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functionality of the Service.
Web BeaconsWe and our operational partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers may also employ software technology known as “web beacons” and/or “tracking tags” to help us keep track of what content on our Service is effective and to serve relevant advertising to you. Web beacons are small graphics with a unique identifier that may be invisible to you, and which are used to track the online activity of Internet users. Web beacons are embedded in the web pages you review or email messages you receive. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Service, to monitor how Pipio Users navigate the Service, to count how many emails that were sent were actually opened, or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
Embedded ScriptsWe and our operational partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers may also employ software technology known as an Embedded Script. An Embedded Script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Service, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer or other device and is deactivated or deleted when you disconnect from the Service.

INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM THIRD PARTIES

We also may receive information about you from third parties. For example, we and our partners, affiliates and service providers may use a variety of other technologies (such as tags) that collect statistical data relating to your Website activity for security and fraud detection purposes.

SOCIAL NETWORKING SERVICES

When you connect with us through a social media platform, we may, depending on your privacy settings, receive some information from your social media account, and what we collect depends on your privacy settings with that social networking service. The Service may also allow you to “like” or share content with social networking services.

You may register to join the Service directly via the Service or by logging into your account with a third party social networking service (“SNS”) via our Service (e.g., Facebook, Twitter and other third party services that let you sign in using your existing credentials with those services). If you choose to register via an SNS, or to later link your account with the Service to your account with an SNS, we will use the Personal Information you have provided to the SNS (such as your name, email address, gender and other information you make publicly available via the SNS) to create your account. Note that the information we collect from and through an SNS may depend on the privacy settings you have set with the SNS and the permissions you grant to us in connection with linking your account with the Service to your account with an SNS. Other than what we may share with the SNS as described below, the Personal Information an SNS has about you is obtained by the SNS independent of our Service, and Pipio is not responsible for it.

E-MailYou also may opt-out of receiving marketing emails from us by following the opt-out instructions provided in those emails. Please note that we reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to your account or use of the Service (for example, administrative and service announcements) via email and other means and these transactional account messages may be unaffected if you opt-out from receiving marketing communications.
Right to Access, Rectify (Correct), Delete, and How to Opt-OutDepending on where you are located, you may have certain rights with regard to your Personal Information. For example, under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), European residents may contact us at support@pipio.ai to access, correct, update or delete your personal information; object to our processing of this information, ask us to restrict our processing of your personal information, or request portability of your personal information.
Upon request Pipio will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information.

You may access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information by making updates to that information in your Account settings or by contacting Pipio. If you request to access all personal information you’ve submitted, we will respond to your request to access within 30 days or as otherwise required by law.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your requests for deletion; however, certain residual information may actively persist on the Service even if you close your account. In addition, the rights described above may be limited, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, or if you ask us to delete information we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping (such as for fraud prevention purposes). Your Personal Information may remain in our archives and information you update or delete, or information within a closed account, may persist internally for our administrative purposes, to the extent permitted by law. It is not always possible to completely remove or delete information from our databases. In addition, we typically will not remove information you posted publicly through or on the Service. Bear in mind that neither you nor Pipio can delete all copies of information that has been previously shared with others on the Service. If your information is deleted, then your account may become deactivated. If your account is deactivated or you ask to close your account, you will no longer be able to use the Services.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS – YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

We do not share or sell your Personal Information with nonaffiliated third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) may provide you with additional privacy rights with respect to our collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information. When offering services to our Pipio users, Pipio acts as a service provider (rather than a “business”) under the CCPA and our receipt and collection of any consumer Personal Information is completed on behalf of our Pipio users (each, considered a “business” subject to the CCPA’s provisions) in order for us to provide the Service. If you are a Client of a Pipio user, please direct any requests for access or deletion of your Personal Information under the CCPA to the Pipio user with whom you have a direct relationship.

We use physical, technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, theft and loss. We restrict access to your personal information to those employees who need to know that information to service your account or perform their job functions.

Although we take precautions intended to help protect information that we process, no system or electronic data transmission is completely secure. Any transmission of your personal data is at your own risk and we expect that you will use appropriate security measures to protect your personal information.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and the information in your account. We may suspend your use of all or part of the Services without notice if we suspect or detect any breach of security.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide services to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using the Website);
Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them)
Whether retention is advisable; and considering our legal position (such as, for statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

Links to Other Sites

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any personal information that you provide to these other websites and services.
