Our website is dedicated to safeguarding our users' privacy rights. As a result, we develop and maintain a privacy compliance structure under which our users can obtain information and exercise their rights related to their information and privacy on an ongoing basis.
Our privacy policy is intended to tell you about the data we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding specific data use. For your convenience, we've simplified the most important aspects of our complete privacy policy below.
Visitors to our website are subject to our privacy policies. The purpose of this summary is to present you with the highlights in an easy-to-understand format. The complete version of our privacy policy, on the other hand, is the one that is legally obligatory.
The Data We Gather and How We Use It: When you visit our websites, we gather information about your visit, your interaction with content, the site from which you came and where you're going, and some extra technical information about the device and system from which you're accessing the services. The phone number from which you made the call may be collected for a short duration of up to 3 months if you choose to utilize a "click to call" service we may provide.
We will not share your information unless we are required to by law, or as required to provide you with our websites and services.
This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") is intended to describe our website's ("the website," "we," "our," or "us") data collection practices in connection with this site (including its subdomains, features, and services), as well as your use or engagement with any feature, content, offer, element, or service we make available to you via the Site (the "Services"). The section and sub-section headings used below are for reading convenience only (and are not meant to be interpreted), and we hope they make it easier to navigate this Privacy Policy.
We retain the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any moment at our sole and absolute discretion. In such an event, we'll update the Privacy Policy on the Site, and the "Last Updated" statement at the bottom will reflect the new version's effective date. Following that date, any access or use of the Site constitutes your consent and acceptance of the modified Privacy Policy. If we make significant changes, we will notify you in a more prominent manner, such as by posting a notice on the Site, several days before the changes take effect. In that instance, the modifications will take effect seven (7) days following the publication of the notification.
Information You Provide to Us. Some of the Services will require you to provide or submit certain Personal Information in order to be able to use them. Some of the features and/or services that require you to provide Personal Information are subject to your specific and active consent (e.g. newsletters which may become available in certain Sites from time to time, promotional material and forms) and choice, and some will be collected upon your consent to this Privacy Policy, as described below.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means information that may be used, either alone or in combination with other information, to personally identify an individual, such as a first and last name, an email address, phone number, a home or other physical address, and other contact information. In some jurisdictions and given the specific use we make with the information, the IP address that your Internet service provider allocates for your device may also be considered as Personal Information. In which case, we will be treating the information as personal in all handling and safeguarding aspects, however, we do not make any use of such information for user identification or personalization purposes.
Third Party Forms and Services: The Site lists, rates, and compares various 3rd party businesses, brands, and commercial entities (collectively, "Partners") and their respective products and/or services (collectively, "Products"). We may, from time to time, provide you with offers, services, and Products of Partners via an online form to be filled by you, upon your intent choice and consent, and such information will be used to facilitate your connection and/or engagement with the relevant Partner ("Lead"). Additionally, if you want to receive more information about a Partner or a Product, or if you otherwise want to pursue a transaction with a Partner, and you click the relevant Partner icon or tab, you may be directed to a landing page or an online form that is owned and operated by the Partner (the "Landing Page"); similarly, you may also be directed to the Landing Page through other websites and online searches. In either case, however, you may be prompted to submit certain information on the Landing Page, including Personal Information such as your name, email address, and phone number (such information collectively, "Landing Page Info"). The Landing Page Info that you submit is collected directly by the Partner who provided it and will include its own privacy policy and data collection practices information. We advise you to refer to such a privacy policy to better understand the purpose of collection and use of the Personal Information you submit.
Contact Us. If you send us a ‘Contact Us’ (or similar) request, whether by submitting an online form that we make available, by sending an email to an email address that we display, by using a feedback or reporting feature that is available on the Site, or by other means, you may be required to provide us with certain Personal Information, such as your name and email address. Such information, including the content of your approach, will be used for the purposes of processing and addressing your request and for our legitimate business purposes.
Blogs, Newsletters, Surveys, and Promotions. The Site may contain a blog forum, reviews, and articles displaying information about our services, Partners, Products, and the relevant market vertical. The Site may also offer you the opportunity to subscribe to newsletters and participate in surveys and other promotional activities (some of which may be administered by us, and some of which may be administered by third-party services with which we engage). In each of the foregoing cases, your interaction (such as responding on the blog forum, subscribing to a newsletter, or participating in a survey) may require you to provide certain Personal Information such as your name and email address. In which case, your submission of information will also be provided directly to such third party and will be used according to this privacy policy as well as such third party’s own privacy policy, and for the purpose for which you provided the information.
We collect information about your use of the Services and your interaction with the Site or the Services, as follows, and in the following ways:
Device Information: For delivering and compatibility purposes, so as for language, geographic location, and time zone, we collect device information such as device type and version, operating system type, language and version, and information that can be extracted out of a user agent, such as browser type and version, screen resolution.
Interactions and Usage: In order to provide the Services, operate the Site, and keep improving it, so as to be able to sync with our partners and affiliates, we collect information about your interaction and use of the Services, such as URLs from which you were directed to the Site and to which you are referred from the Site, internal URL’s of the Site in which you visited and your actions with respect to the Services (such as a view or click), date/time stamp of Site use, the timing for clicks and page-views.
Log Files: We collect information through server log files, but also by deploying tracking technologies within the Site, such as pixel tags. We do this to analyze trends, track users’ engagement and interaction with the Site and respective Services. The type of information collected may include internet protocol (IP) addresses that your Internet Service Provider allocated to your device. We collect IP for a limited time and for specific purposes. One is to better understand your geographic location (country, region, and language) and therefore be able to provide the Services in your own language and relevant to your place of origin. Second, we use automated tools to analyze IP addresses and flag those that are fraudulent.
Cookies and Similar Technologies. The Site may use "cookies" and other anonymous web tracking technologies (such as "web beacons" and "pixel tags") implemented by us or by third-party service providers. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that website to recognize your browser. Cookies may store your online preferences and other information about the interaction you make on the Site. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent to your browser. However, some features or services, included in the Site, may not function properly without cookies, and some features may become unavailable for you in such cases. A pixel tag is a type of technology placed on a website for the purpose of tracking activity on websites, or when emails are opened or accessed (if applicable), and is often used in combination with cookies.
Like many Internet-based services, the Site and the Services are operated and provided in collaboration, sync, and interaction with third parties, including Partners, affiliates, and other third parties. In order to enable and facilitate such sync, we may receive information from third parties, such as an internal user identifier that our system generates for each user (not a unique identifier), and the summary of action taken by you (click, purchase, view, form submission or a phone call). On some Sites, you will be able – upon your choice – to consume the Service on a click-by-call basis. In which case, a third-party vendor/s facilitates the call transmission, tracking, and feedback for success. In such cases, the phone number from which you called may be provided to us (with no other information about you attached), for a limited time and for purposes of resolving referrals and successful calls with our Partners. Except for this purpose, we do not make any other use of such information, unless you will give us your explicit consent.
