Collection of Information

We collect information in a few different ways

• When you give it to us or give us permission to obtain it:When you sign up for or use ProductPals.com you voluntarily share certain information including your name, email address, phone number, photos, Collections, comments, and any other information you give us. You can also choose to share your precise location using your device settings or through photos. We will still use your IP address, which is used to approximate your location, even if you don't choose to share your precise location. You will also have the option to share other information about yourself such as your gender, age and preferred language.
  
  If you connect your Facebook, Google(opens in a new window) or other third-party accounts to ProductPals.com, we use information from those accounts (such as your friends or contacts) to improve your ProductPals.com experience. This is dependent on the privacy policies or settings for those accounts.

• We also get technical information when you use ProductPals.com:When you use a website, mobile application or other internet service, certain internet and electronic network activity information gets created and logged automatically. This is also true when you use ProductPals.com. Here are some of the types of information we collect:

  Log data: When you use ProductPals.com, our servers record information (?log data?), including information that your browser automatically sends whenever you visit a website, or that your mobile app automatically sends when you're using it. This log data includes your Internet Protocol address (which we use to infer your approximate location), the address of and activity on websites you visit that incorporate ProductPals.com features (like the 'save? button?more details below), searches, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, how you used ProductPals.com, cookie data and device data. You can learn more about the log data we collect here.

  Cookie data. We also use 'cookies' (small text files sent by your computer each time you visit our website, unique to your ProductPals.com account or your browser) or similar technologies to get log data. When we use cookies or other similar technologies, we use session cookies (that last until you close your browser) or persistent cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). For example, we use cookies to store your location preferences or other settings so you don't have to set them up every time you visit ProductPals.com. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your ProductPals.com account (including information about you, such as the email address you gave us) and other cookies are not).

  Device information. In addition to log data, we collect information about the device you're using ProductPals.com on, including the type of device, operating system, settings, unique device identifiers and crash data that helps us understand when something breaks.

  Clickstream data and inferences. When you're on ProductPals.com, we use your activity, such as which pages you click on, Collections you create, and any text that you add in a comment or description, along with information you provided when you first signed up and information from our partners and advertisers to make inferences about you and your preferences. For example, if you create a collection about travel, we may infer you are a travel enthusiast. We may also infer information about your education or professional experience based on your activity when you link your account to accounts you have with third parties like Facebook or Google.

  Our partners and advertisers share information with us

  We also get information about you and your activity outside ProductPals.com from our affiliates, advertisers, partners and other third parties we work with. For example:

  Online advertisers or third parties share information with us to measure, report on or improve the performance of ads on ProductPals.com, or to figure out what kinds of ads to show you on or off of ProductPals.com. This includes information about your visits to an advertiser's site or purchases you made from them, or information about your interests from a third-party service, which we might use to help show you ads.

  We have a legitimate interest in delivering ads that are relevant, interesting and personal to you in order to generate revenue. To further these interests we use the information we collect to:

  Decide which ads to show you:? For example, if you show an interest in camCollectionsg tents on ProductPals.com, we may show you ads for other outdoor products. We customize the ad content we show you by identifying your interests based on your onsite and offsite activities, as well as by using information we receive from ad partners or other third parties.

Where ad partners or other third parties share information with us about you, we rely on the consent they already obtained.

  Tell our ad partners how their ProductPals.com ads are doing, and how to make them better. Some of this information is aggregated. For example, we would report to an advertiser that a certain percentage of people who viewed a Promoted Collections went on to visit that advertiser's site. In other instances, this information isn't aggregated. For example, we would let an advertiser know that a particular Promoted Collections has been saved by certain people. To find out more about reporting on ads please visit the Help Center.

  In addition to the specific circumstances above, We'll only use your information with your consent in order to:

  Allow searching with photos. For example, if you take a photo of a pair of shoes or a piece of furniture you like, you can ask us to show you similar items. You can opt in to this in your device operating system settings.

  Send you marketing materials by email, text, push notification or phone call depending on your account or operating system settings. Each time we send you marketing materials, we give you the option to unsubscribe.

  Identify your precise location and customize the content we show you. For example, if we know that you're near a retailer we may show you that retailer's Collections that may be of interest to you. You can opt in to this in your device operating system settings.

  Tell our ad partners how their ads are doing using the ProductPals.com Tag. The ProductPals.com Tag (a piece of code an advertiser puts on their site) delivers insights to us and our ad partners about actions that a person takes on their website after viewing an ad on ProductPals.com.
