We collect such information in the following situations:

If you express an interest in obtaining additional information about our services; request customer support; use our "Get Started" or similar features; purchase a product through our websites; or register to use our services, we may require that you provide to us your contact information, such as your name, company name, address, phone number, or email address;

If you interact with our websites or emails, we automatically collect information about your device and your usage of our websites or emails (such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or other identifiers), which may qualify as Personal Data (please see the "What device and usage data do we process?" section, below) using cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies;

We may combine this information with Personal Data provided by you. This helps us update our records, identify new customers, and create more tailored advertising to you.

If you provide us or our service providers with any Personal Data relating to other individuals, you represent that you have the authority to do so, and, where required, have obtained the necessary consent, and acknowledge that it may be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you believe that your Personal Data has been provided to us improperly, or want to exercise your rights relating to your Personal Data, please contact us by using the information in the "Contact us" section below.

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically when individual users visit our websites. This information may include identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity information such as IP address (or proxy server information), device and application information, identification numbers and features, location, browser type, plug-ins, integrations, Internet service provider, mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, searches, referring website, app or ad, operating system, system configuration information, advertising and language preferences, date and time stamps associated with your usage, and frequency of visits to the websites.

This information is used to analyze overall trends, help us provide and improve our websites, offer a tailored experience for website users, and secure and maintain our websites.

Some of the device and usage data collected by our websites or the services, whether alone or in conjunction with other data, could be personally identifying to you. Please note that this device and usage data is primarily used to identify the uniqueness of each user logging on or visiting our websites (as opposed to specific individuals), apart from where it is strictly required to identify an individual for security purposes or as required as part of our provision of the services to our customers.

4.2. Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Tracking Technologies

To make our websites and services work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, shopping cart, or other preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve the Sites. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more information. You may also choose to download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

You may wish to restrict the use of cookies. Please be aware that some of the features of our website may not function correctly if you disable cookies.

Most modern browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. You can usually find these settings in the options or preferences menu of your browser. To understand these settings, the following links for commonly used browsers may be helpful:

Cookie settings in Chrome

Cookie settings in Firefox

Cookie settings in Internet Explorer

Cookie settings in Safari web and iOS

Advertising Cookies. We also use Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, and other advertising cookies to deliver tailored advertising on our Sites and other websites that you may visit. You can learn more about how to control advertising cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out link, the DAA's Consumer Opt-Out link for browsers, or the DAA's opt-out link for mobile devices. Please note that electing to opt-out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications and may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests.

4.3. Do-Not-Track Signals

Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.

Our legitimate business interests. For example, fraud prevention, maintaining the security of our network and services, direct marketing to you, and maintaining, analyzing, and improving our products and services.

10.4. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise your rights, please contact us by using the information in the "Contact us" section below. Your personal data may be processed in responding to these rights. We will respond to all legitimate requests in a timely manner and in accordance with applicable laws, and will contact you if we need additional information from you in order to honor your request or verify your identity.

10.5. Your Rights Relating to Customer Data

As described above, we may also process Personal Data submitted by or for a customer to our software products and services. To this end, if not stated otherwise in this Privacy Policy or in a separate disclosure, we process such Personal Data as a processor on behalf of our customer (and its affiliates) who is the controller of the Personal Data (see the "Responsible entity" section above). We are not responsible for and have no control over the privacy and data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those explained in this Privacy Policy. If your data has been submitted to us by or on behalf of a Hairy Dog Productions Inc. customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please inquire with them directly. Because we may only access a customer's data upon their instructions, if you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide us the name of the Hairy Dog Productions Inc. customer who submitted your data to us. We will refer your request to that customer, and will support them as needed in responding to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

10.6. Your Preferences for Marketing Communications

We may use your Personal Data to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in any email we send, by replying or texting 'STOP' if you receive Hairy Dog Productions Inc. communications, or you can contact us using the contact details provided in the "Contact Us" section below. You will still continue to receive service-related messages concerning products and services you have purchased (unless we have indicated otherwise).

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. For example, we adhere to Payment Card Industry ("PCI") data security standards when protecting our customers' financial information.

However, no website, application, or transmission can guarantee security. Thus, while we have established and maintain what we believe to be reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information obtained through our website, platforms, and services, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.

We may change our Privacy Policy from time to time, and any changes will become effective when published. The current version of this Privacy Policy was published on the date noted at the beginning of the policy. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to ensure you are familiar with the most current version.
