When you interact with the Site or the Services, we may collect information that, alone or in combination with other information, could be used to identify you (“Personal Data”). This privacy policy explains what Personal Data and other information we collect when you use our Site and/or the Services, why we collect it and how that data is used.

By using the Site and/or the Services, and providing us with your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

Personal Data That You Provide Through the Site. We collect Personal Data that is voluntarily provided by you when you order products and services or register on our Site  (including your name, email address, username, mailing address, phone number, payment and billing information or other details, as appropriate, that you elect to provide), or communicate with customer service. We also collect Personal Data that you enter on our Site or send to us electronically when you complete a web form to give Personal Data to us directly, such as on our “Contact Us” page.

Service Data. In providing the Services, we process on behalf of our customers that Personal Data that they upload or otherwise provide to us (“Service Data”). While our Customers decide what data to submit, Service Data typically includes information about customers, prospects, employees, consultants, independent contractors, suppliers and other individuals or third parties (“End Users”).

Automatically Collected Data. When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect information about your use of our Site through cookies, pixel tags (also known as web beacons), ad conversion tracking and similar technologies. This information may include the browser or operating system that you use to access the Internet, your IP address, your location, the date and time you may have viewed certain pages on the Site, which advertisements you clicked on and your subsequent actions, etc. Please see the “Do we use “cookies”?” section below to find out more about how we use cookies.

How Do We Use Your Information?

We may use the information we collect from you when you register or fill out a form on our Site, make a purchase or inquiry, sign up for our newsletter, respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the Site, or use certain other Site features.  We may use the information in the following ways:

To provide Services to customers and respond to requests. We use account-related data given to us by customers in connection with the purchase, sign-up, use or support of a customer account.  Such information includes usernames, email address and billing information. We use this information to provide you with access to the Services and/or the Site, contact you regarding your use of the Services and/or the Site or to notify you of important changes to the Services and/or the Site. For EU data subjects, such use is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us.

When you ask for information about the Services (for example, when you ask us to send you offers or price information), we will use your contact information to respond to your requests. For EU data subjects, such use is necessary to respond to or implement your request prior to entering into a contract with us.

We process Service Data on behalf of customers for the purpose of providing the Services to those customers in accordance with the applicable customer contract.

For marketing purposes. UpCurve Cloud, and its affiliates as described below, may use your contact details to tell you more about our Services and other services we believe may be of interest to you, upcoming events or other promotions. If we do so, each marketing communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to “opt out” of receiving future marketing communications. Note however that as a user of our Services you cannot opt out of some administrative communications that are reasonably necessary to the provision of the Services, such as billing or service notifications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future marketing communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below. UpCurve Cloud is part of the GateHouse Media family of companies, and has affiliates that provide online marketing services to small and medium sized businesses, and others that own and operate local newspapers and related websites.  We may provide your information to those affiliates for the purposes described above, subject always to your right to opt out of marketing communications at any time.

Where required by applicable law (for example, if you are an EU data subject), we will only send you marketing information by email if you consent to us doing so at the time you provide us with your Personal Data.  In this case, when you provide us with your consent to be contacted for marketing purposes, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by following the instructions to “opt-out” of receiving marketing communication in each marketing email we send you or by contacting us as provided under the “Contact Us” section below.

To analyze, administer, support, and improve use of the Site and the Services. We use data relating to your use of the Site and/or the Services to analyze, administer, support and improve your access to and use of the Site and the Services. For example, we use data about how and when you visit different parts of our Site in order to improve the structure of the Site. We may also compile, anonymize and/or aggregate your Personal Data and other data and use such anonymized and/or aggregated data for our business purposes, including sharing such data with affiliates and business partners.  This aggregate information does not identify you individually. For EU data subjects, this use of your Personal Data is necessary for our legitimate interests in understanding how the Site and the Services are being used by you and to improve your experience on it.
