Providing our Products.

We use data to provide and improve the products we offer and perform essential business operations. This includes operating the products, maintaining and improving the performance of the products, developing new features, conducting research, and providing customer support. Examples of such use cases include the following:

• Providing the Products. We use data to carry out your transactions with us and to provide our products to you. Often, those products include personalized features and recommendations that enhance your productivity and enjoyment, and automatically tailor your product experiences based on the data we have about your activities, interests and location.

Advertising.

datamappr does not use what you say in email, chat, or other personal files to target ads to you.

We use data we collect through our interactions with you, through some of our products and on third-party web properties, to show advertising. For example:

• datamappr may use your data to select and deliver some of the ads you see on datamappr web properties, such as datamappr.com.
• When using a browser that has cookies enabled, we use third-party programs to embed a cookie to select and deliver ads.
• We may share data we collect with third parties, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter (see below), so that they can select and deliver some of the ads you see in our products, their products, or other sites and apps serviced by these partners.
• Partnered advertisers may choose to promote datamappr, during which they collect information on their sites, such as activities or link clicks, and share this information with datamappr; we use this data on behalf of our advertising partners and aggregate it into other collected data. We also share data directly with service providers, Google, Facebook, Twitter (see below), to permit them to provide services on our behalf or to partner with us in selecting and serving ads for our advertising partners.

The ads that you see may be selected based on data we process about you, such as your interests and favorites, your location, your transactions, how you use our products, your search queries, or the content you view, but also from the data collected from you by other parties. The ads that you see may also be selected based on other information learned about you over time using demographic data, location data, search queries, interests and favorites, usage data from our products and sites, as well as the sites and apps of our advertisers and partners. We refer to these ads as “interest-based advertising” in this statement. If you opt out of receiving interest-based advertising, data associated with these cookies will not be used.

Further details regarding our advertising-related uses of data include:

• Children and Advertising. We do not deliver interest-based advertising to children that we are aware are under 13 years of age.
• Data Retention. For interest-based advertising, we retain data for no more than 13 months, unless we obtain your consent to retain the data longer.
• Data Sharing. In some cases, we share with advertisers reports about the data we have collected on their sites or ads.
• Data Collected by Other Advertising Companies. Advertisers sometimes include their own web beacons (or those of their other advertising partners) within their advertisements that we display, enabling them to set and read their own cookie. Additionally, datamappr partners with third-party ad companies to help provide some of our advertising services, and we also might allow other third-party ad companies to display advertisements on our sites. These third parties may place cookies on your computer and collect data about your online activities across websites or online services. These companies currently include but are not limited to: at the time none. You may find more information on each company’s practices, including the choices it offers, by clicking on the company names above.

We share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any product you have requested or authorized. For example, we share your content with third parties when you tell us to do so, such as when you send an email to us or invite a colleague to join the platform. When you provide payment data to make a purchase, your data is shared with PCI complaint third-party services to process your payment data along with banks and other entities that process payment transactions or provide other financial services, such as for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction.

In addition, we share personal data among datamappr-controlled affiliates and subsidiaries. We also share personal data with vendors or agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this statement. For example, companies we’ve hired to provide customer service support or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to personal data to provide those functions. In such cases, these companies must abide by our data privacy and security requirements and are not allowed to use personal data they receive from us for any other purpose. We may also disclose personal data as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or sale of assets.

Finally, we will access, transfer, disclose, and preserve personal data, including your content, when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to:

1. comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies;
2. protect our customers, for example to prevent spam or attempts to defraud users of our products, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone;
3. operate and maintain the security of our products, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks; or
4. protect the rights or property of datamappr, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the services – however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of datamappr, we might not inspect a customer’s private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement.

You can view, edit, or delete your personal data online for many datamappr products. You can also request to have an export of all of your personal data sent to you via email. You can make choices about datamappr’s collection and use of your data. How you can access or control your personal data will depend on which products you use.

For example, in our newsletter subscription service you can view and change your settings by clicking on the link to manage your preferences at the bottom of any email.

Your Communications Preferences

You can let us know how you wish to be communicated by and we will try to accommodate your preferences. Communications via email is our standard practice.

Your Advertising Choices

You may opt in of receiving interest-based advertising from datamappr when selecting your cookie preferences. When you opt in, your selection will be stored in a cookie that is specific to the web browser you are using. The opt in cookie has an expiration date of no more than five years. If you delete the cookies on your device, you will need to opt in again.

You can also opt in to receive email based marketing. You can view and change your settings by clicking on the link to manage your preferences at the bottom of any email.

You can also opt in to receive personalized marketing from datamappr. You can revoke this at any time by contacting us, in which you will be blacklisted from any further personalized marketing efforts.

Because the data used for interest-based advertising is also used for other necessary purposes (including providing our products, analytics and fraud detection), opting out of interest-based advertising does not stop that data from being collected. Nor does it mean you will stop getting ads or see fewer ads. However, if you do opt out, the ads you receive will no longer be interest-based and may be less relevant to your interests.

You can opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from third parties we partner with by visiting their sites.

We also include web beacons in our promotional email messages or newsletters to determine whether you open and act on them.

In addition to placing web beacons on our own websites, we sometimes work with other companies to place our web beacons on their websites or in their advertisements. This helps us develop statistics on how often clicking on an advertisement on a datamappr website results in a purchase or other action on the advertiser’s website.

Finally, datamappr products often contain web beacons or similar technologies from third-party analytics providers, which help us compile aggregated statistics about the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns or other operations. These technologies enable the analytics providers to set or read their own cookies or other identifiers on your device, through which they can collect information about your online activities across applications, websites or other products. However, we prohibit these analytics providers from using web beacons on our sites to collect or access information that directly identifies you (such as your name or email address). You can opt out of data collection or use by some of these analytics providers by clicking the following links:

datamappr retains personal data for as long as necessary to provide the products and fulfill the transactions you have requested, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different data types in the context of different products, actual retention periods can vary significantly. The criteria used to determine the retention periods include:

• How long is the personal data needed to provide the products and operate our business?This includes such things as maintaining and improving the performance of those products, keeping our systems secure, and maintaining appropriate business and financial records. This is the general rule that establishes the baseline for most data retention periods.
• Do customers provide, create, or maintain the data with the expectation we will retain it until they affirmatively remove it? Examples include uploading a profile image; we maintain the data until you actively delete it.
• Is there an automated control that enables the customer to access and delete the personal data at any time?If there is not, a shortened data retention time will generally be adopted.
• Is the personal data of a sensitive type?If so, a shortened retention time would generally be appropriate.
• Has datamappr adopted and announced a specific retention period for a certain data type?For example, for cookie IDs and other cross-session identifiers after a maximum 18 months.
• Has the user provided consent for a longer retention period?If so, we will retain data in accordance with your consent.
• Is datamappr subject to a legal, contractual, or similar obligation to retain the data?Examples can include mandatory data retention laws in the applicable jurisdiction, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation, especially in regards to invoices.

When a datamappr product collects age it will either block users under 13 or will ask them to provide consent from a parent or guardian before they can use it. We will not knowingly ask children under 13 to provide more data than is necessary to provide the product.

Once parental consent is granted, the child’s account is treated much like any other account.

Parents can change or revoke the consent choices previously made, and review, edit or request the deletion of their children’s personal data.

datamappr offers preview, insider, beta or other free-of-charge products and features (“previews”) to enable you to evaluate them while providing feedback, including performance and usage data, to datamappr. As a result, previews can automatically collect additional data, provide fewer controls, and otherwise employ different privacy and security measures than those typically present in our products. If you participate in previews, we may contact you about your feedback or your interest in continuing to use the product after general release.

We will update this privacy statement when necessary to reflect customer feedback and changes in our products. When we post changes to this statement, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of the statement. If there are material changes to the statement or in how datamappr will use your personal data, we will notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes before they take effect or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to learn how datamappr is protecting your information.
