It also describes certain legal rights you may have, subject to applicable law, and how you can exercise them. 

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information about identified and identifiable individuals, such as their name and email address, and includes “personal data” as defined by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and “personal information” as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

Information We Collect

Information you give us directly 

Some information we collect directly from you. The type of Personal Information we collect varies depending on what type of activity you are engaging in but may include your first and last name, email address, image and likeness, demographic information, interests, and any other information you choose to provide. For instance, we collect information that you voluntarily provide in the following ways: 

When you sign up to receive communications from us, subscribe to our newsletter or blog, or complete a survey. When you engage in any of these activities, we may collect your name, email address and other contact details, areas of interest, and any information you provide to us as part of that request (such as information you provide in response to a survey about your satisfaction with our Site or what kind of interactive experiences you would like us to offer). 

When you email us to ask a question or when you communicate with us via a third-party social media platform. When you contact us by email; through our branded social media accounts; through any integrated chat providers we may offer; or by telephone, SMS, or physical mail, we may collect your name, username, email address, phone number, physical address, and the contents of your communication which can include any information you choose to provide.

Information we collect automatically when you use our Site

We also collect certain information automatically as you navigate our Site and interact with our communications. To collect this information, we, or our third-party service providers may use cookies or similar technologies. A “cookie” is a small text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. We, and our third-party service providers use cookies in order to do things such as recognize you when you return to our Site, save your preferences (including your preferences regarding cookie handling), understand which sections of our Site you find most interesting, ensure our Site are working properly, and prevent fraud.  We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them or until they expire).

The information we collect automatically can include the following: 

Information about the devices you use to access our Site (including your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, and operating system);

The address of the web page visited before and after using our Site;

Details about your interactions with our Site (such as the date, time, length of stay, and specific pages accessed during your visits);

Search terms used to reach our Site;

Usage information (such as the number and frequency of visitors to our Site); and

Location information (such as GPS information or general location information inferred from your IP address).

If you do not want us to collect information through the use of cookies, you can disable cookies, limit the types of cookies you allow, or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. Please refer to the guidance offered by your chosen web browser if you would like help managing your cookie preferences. Please note that if you reject or block cookies, the Site may not work as intended. 

Analytics. We also partner with third parties who provide analytics services and serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and in mobile applications. These third-party service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to track your engagement with our Site as well as our online advertising and email marketing campaigns and permit us and them to analyze and track data, determine the popularity of content, learn about which ads you see and click, and better understand your online activity. This can include things like the following: frequency capping (which limits the number of times a user’s browser or mobile device displays the same ad), attribution tracking (which estimates which advertising or marketing source brought someone to our Site or determines which marketing sources, including affiliate links, led to actions like a visit or a purchase), remarketing and retargeting (which shows relevant ads to an audience based on prior browsing patterns on our Site), audience targeting (which targets advertisements to a large audience based on the audiences’ known or inferred demographics), and cross-device recognition (which recognizes actions across multiple devices or browsers). 

Information we collect from other sources 

We may also obtain Personal Information from other sources. For instance, we may collect Personal Information about you from: 

Social media platforms. We may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools such as widgets, which allow you to share content on our Site with third-party social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. If you choose to use these social sharing features, the provider of the third-party social media platform may make certain information available to us. This can include information necessary to facilitate the integration as well as any additional information the provider chooses to share with Creek Road or which you have permitted the provider to share through your privacy settings. We encourage you to check the privacy settings and privacy policies of these third-party social media platforms to understand what information might be shared with us.
