• Directly from you when you provide it to us, such as when you contact us by phone, email, or otherwise.
• Automatically through the use of cookies, server logs, and other similar technologies when you interact with our websites and emails.
• From other sources, including, for example, our affiliates, business partners, service providers, and other third parties, or from publicly available sources. For example, if you submit a job application, or become an employee, we may conduct a background check.

The following provides examples of the type of information that we collect in a variety of contexts and how we use that information.

How We Use Information.

In addition to the purposes and uses described above, we use information in the following ways:

• To improve our services and product offerings.
• To conduct analytics.
• To review and act upon job applications.
• To communicate with you, such as to respond to and/or follow-up on your requests, inquiries, issues, or feedback.
• To send marketing and promotional materials including information relating to our products, services, sales, or promotions, or those of our business partners.
• To detect and protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, including violation of our policies and terms and conditions, security incidents, and harm to the rights, property, or safety of our company and our users, employees, or others.

Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting your information, in many situations we have more than one purpose.

To the extent we maintain and use personal information in a deidentified form, we will not attempt to reidentify the information, except for the purpose of determining whether our deidentification processes satisfy our legal obligations.

How We Share Information.

In addition to the specific situations discussed elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose personal information in the following situations:

• Affiliates and Acquisitions. We may share information with our corporate affiliates (e.g., parent company, sister companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control). If another company acquires, or plans to acquire, our company, business, or our assets, we will also share information with that company, including at the negotiation stage.
• Other Disclosures without Your Consent. We may disclose information in response to subpoenas, warrants, or court orders, or in connection with any legal process, or to comply with relevant laws. We may also share your information in order to establish or exercise our rights, to defend against a legal claim, to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property, or a violation of our policies, or to comply with your request for the provision of services by a third-party intermediary.
• Service Providers. We may share your information with service providers. Among other things service providers may help us to administer our website, conduct surveys, provide technical support, process payments, and assist in the fulfillment of orders.
• Other Disclosures with Your Consent. We may disclose your information to other third parties when we have your consent or direction to do so.

Some jurisdictions require that we describe the categories of personal information we collect and disclose for a business purpose and share with third parties. We may collect Identifiers, Commercial Information, Internet or other electronic network activity information, and Inferences drawn from any of these data collections. Depending on our purpose for collecting this information, we may share it for a business purpose with our affiliates or subsidiaries, business partners, data analytics providers, internet service providers, operating systems and platforms, other service providers, payment processors or financial institutions, professional services or organizations (such as law firms or auditors), social networks, and government entities, as may be needed to comply with law or prevent illegal activity. In some cases, we may share this information for behavioral advertising purposes with advertising networks and social networks. We do not “sell” your personal information for money. We do not collect or disclose any sensitive personal information. As discussed elsewhere in the Privacy Policy, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies for purposes of targeted advertising.

Following a request, we will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you in our files.

In some circumstances, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf. If you are an authorized agent submitting a request on behalf of an individual, you must provide a written and signed form indicating that you are able to act on another person’s behalf.

How We Protect and Retain Information

No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is fully secure. While we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of a breach to your personal information we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.

We retain your personal information for only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we obtained the information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, as well as applicable legal requirements.

Transmission Of Information To Other Countries

As a multi-national company, we transmit information between and among our affiliates and to our service providers. As a result, your information may be processed in a foreign country where privacy laws may be less stringent than the laws in your country. Nonetheless, where possible we take steps to treat personal information using the same privacy principles that apply pursuant to the law of the country in which we first received your information. By submitting your personal information to us you agree to the transfer, storage, and processing of your information in a country other than your country of residence including, but not necessarily limited to, the United States, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia and Australia.

Please note, we have no control over the privacy practices websites, or services that we do not own. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website or application for details about such third party’s privacy practices.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

Our privacy policy includes an “effective” and “last updated” date. The effective date refers to the date that the current version took effect.
