For example, we may aggregate personal information to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Services feature.

Automatically Through Our Services

As you navigate through and interact with our Services, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect information that may include personal information. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, operating system, and browser type, and information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies including details of your interactions with our Services, such as traffic data, location data, logs, and other communication data, and which resources and Services features that you access and use.

Using automatic collection technologies helps us to improve our Services and to deliver a better and more personalized experience.

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

• Cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you interact with the Services. You may refuse to accept or disable cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser or device. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain features of the Services.
• Web Beacons. Some parts of the Services may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those parts or for other related statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity).

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or other tracking technology files, or to alert you when these files are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies or similar tracking files, some Services features may be inaccessible or not function properly. While some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting, our Services do not currently respond to browser DNT signals.

How We Protect Your Information

We use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss or destruction and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no website, mobile application, system, electronic storage, or online service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to, through, using, or in connection with the Services. In particular, email, texts, and chats sent to or from the Services may not be secure, and you should carefully decide what information you send to us via such communications channels. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

Our Services may contain links to other websites that are not governed by this Privacy Policy since they are managed by third parties. When you click on one of these links, you may be directed to another website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and encourage you to read their privacy policy as their practices may differ from ours.

If you are interacting with our Services from a location outside of the United States, please be aware that your connection will be through and to servers located in the United States. Any information we collect while you are using our Services will be processed, stored, and transferred in and to the United States or other jurisdictions, which may have different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as your local law. By engaging with our Services, you agree to such processing, storage, and transfer.

How We Retain Your Information

We keep the categories of personal information described in this Privacy Policy for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described or for as long as otherwise legally permitted or required, such as maintaining the Services, operating our organization, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and for safety, security, and fraud prevention. This means that we consider our legal and business obligations, potential risks of harm, and nature of the information when deciding how long to retain personal information. At the end of the retention period, personal information will be deleted, destroyed, or deidentified.

Children’s Information

Our Services are not intended for, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from, children under the age of 18. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 18 years old without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you become aware of any information we have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at privacy@pappas-capital.com.
