THIS POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO INFORMATION THAT OUR CUSTOMERS, WHO HAVE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH US TO ACCESS OUR SERVICES, CHOOSE TO COLLECT AND STORE (WHETHER THROUGH THE SERVICES OR THROUGH OTHER MEANS), INCLUDING INFORMATION SHARED WITH US, RELATING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS OR END-USERS. IT IS ALSO NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR ANY PRIVACY NOTICE THAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS OR END-USERS. FOR INFORMATION RELATING TO A CUSTOMER WHO USES OUR SERVICES AND/OR THEIR PRIVACY POLICY AND DATA PRACTICES, CONTACT THAT CUSTOMER DIRECTLY. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE PRIVACY OR DATA SECURITY PRACTICES OF OUR CUSTOMERS, WHICH MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE EXPLAINED IN THIS POLICY.

When we use the word “information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean all types of information, including Personal Information and Non-personal Information.

In the process of supporting our Services, we may discover personally identifiable information associated with your account, and we may need to investigate the data within your user account. In all cases, we (or our service providers or business partners) may collect and store this information.

In addition to the information you provide us directly, we may receive information about you from others.

Information from email providers. You may be able to use your email account login (such as Gmail) to create and log into your Express Evaluations account. This allows you to share some information from your email account with us.

Information Collected During Your Use of Our Services

When you use our Services, we collect information about which features you use, how you use them, and the devices you use to access our Services.

Usage information. We collect information about your activity on our Services, for instance how you use them (e.g., date and time you logged in, features you’ve been using, searches, clicks and pages which have been shown to you, referring webpage address, advertising that you click on) and how you interact with other users (e.g., users you connect and interact with, time and date of your exchanges, number of messages you send and receive). This information also includes service-related, diagnostic, usage and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use the Express Evaluations software and which we record in log files. This log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, device information, browser type and settings and information about your activity in the Services (such as the date/ time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches and other actions you take (for example, which features you use)), device event information (such as system activity, error reports and hardware settings)
Device information. We collect information from and about the device(s) you use to access our Services, including:
- hardware and software information such as IP address, device ID and type, device-specific and apps settings and characteristics, app crashes, advertising IDs (such as Google’s AAID and Apple's IDFA, both of which are randomly generated numbers that you can reset by going into your device’ settings), browser type, version and language, operating system, time zones, identifiers associated with cookies or other technologies that may uniquely identify your device or browser (e.g., IMEI/UDID and MAC address); and
- information on your wireless, mobile, internet, or other network connections, like your service provider and signal strength;
- information on device sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and compasses; and
- If you are using our mobile app, we may also collect information about the phone network associated with your mobile device, your mobile device’s operating system or platform, the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device’s unique device ID and information about the features of our mobile app you accessed.
Other information. Location data, such as information about your device's location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much of this information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Express Evaluations software. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). We may collect your precise geolocation (latitude and longitude) through various means, depending on the service and device you’re using, including GPS, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections. The collection of your geolocation may occur in the background even when you aren’t using the Services. You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device.

We may discover, by reviewing log files, that a particular account is using the Services in a way that is degrading the experience for all the Services’ Users. If this is discovered, we may look up personally identifiable information associated with that account in order to contact you or the relevant Express Evaluations customer. We handle and disclose this information in the same way we handle other potentially personally-identifying information as described below.

Information You Choose To Display Publicly On Our Services

Personal and/or sensitive information that is voluntarily posted in publicly visible parts of our Services is considered to be public, even if it would otherwise be considered to be personally identifying or sensitive. If you choose to provide personally identifiable information or otherwise sensitive information using certain public features of the Services, individuals reading such information may use or disclose it to other individuals or entities without our control and without your knowledge. We therefore urge you to think carefully about including any specific information you may deem private in content that you create or information that you submit through our Services.

Information You Give To Other People

This Policy only applies to information collected by Express Evaluations. It does not apply to the practices of companies that we don’t own or control, or employees that we don’t manage, even if and when such companies utilize the Services to collect information. The Services may contain links to third party websites, and any information you provide to those sites will be covered by any privacy policies they may have, not this Policy. Please be sure to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. It is those sites’ responsibility to protect any information you give them, and we will not be held liable for their wrongful use of your personally identifying information.

2. COOKIES AND OTHER SIMILAR DATA COLLECTION TECHNOLOGIES

We use and may allow others to use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels) to recognize you and/or your device(s). We may use these technologies (referred to collectively in this Privacy Policy as “cookies”) for a variety of purposes, such as authenticating you, remembering your preferences and settings, analyzing site traffic and trends, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, etc. To accomplish this, we may use both session and persistent cookies, and these cookies may be placed by us or by third parties.

For example, we use Google Analytics, which is a Google service that uses cookies and other data collection technologies to collect information about your use of the website and services in order to report website trends. You can opt out of Google Analytics by visiting www.google.com/settings/ads or by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Additionally, some web browsers provide settings that allow you to control or reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. The procedure for managing cookies is slightly different for each internet browser. You can check the specific steps in your particular browser help menu. You also may be able to reset device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your mobile device. The procedure for managing device identifiers is slightly different for each device. You can check the specific steps in the help or settings menu of your particular device.

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) have a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that tells a website that a user does not want to have his or her online activity tracked. If a website that responds to a DNT signal receives a DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many businesses, including Express Evaluations, do not currently respond to DNT signals.

We do this by linking devices and browser data, such as when you log into your account on different devices or by using partial or full IP address, browser version and similar data about your devices to help identify and link them.
To improve our Services and develop new ones. For example, to:
- administer focus groups and surveys;
