Types of Data We Collect
Information You or Subscriber Companies Provide to Us
We may collect personal information from you, such as your first and last name, e-mail, username and password, and contact information when you create a Subscriber Company account to log in to our network (“Account”) or when you test our Services.
We collect data a User or Subscriber Company sends us in valid file formats in the form of single or bulk natural language documents or provided through our secure web-application interface, to provide the Services.
If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail, we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, to send you a reply.
When you participate in one of our surveys, we may collect additional profile information.
We may also collect personal information at other points in our Service that state that personal information is being collected.
Information Collected via Technology
Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends and User movement around the Site, administer the Site, gather demographic information about our User base, and better tailor our Services to our Users’ needs.
Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Service. This type of information is collected to make the Service more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs.
Traffic Analytics. We use a limited number of third-party service providers to help analyze how users use the Service (“Analytics Companies”). These Analytics Companies use Cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Service, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site. We use the information we get from these Analytics Companies only to improve our Site and Services. These Analytics Companies collect only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Service, rather than your name or other personally identifying information. We may combine the information generated through the use of our Analytics Companies with your personal information. Although these Analytics Companies may plant a persistent Cookie on your web browser or mobile device to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Service, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but the Analytics Company that placed the applicable Cookie. This Policy does not apply to and we are not responsible for the Cookies used by these Analytics Companies.
