We use common information-gathering tools, such as tools for collecting usage data, cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to automatically collect information that may contain Personal Data as you navigate our Websites, our services, or interact with emails we have sent to you or our advertisements .
4.1 Device and Usage data
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically when individual users visit our Websites. This information may include identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity information such as IP address (or proxy server information), device and application information, identification numbers and features, location, browser type, plug-ins, integrations, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, searches, referring website, app or ad, operating system, system configuration information, advertising and language preferences, date and time stamps associated with your usage, and frequency of visits to the Websites. This information is used to analyze overall trends, help us provide and improve our Websites, offer a tailored experience for Website users, and secure and maintain our Websites.
In addition, we gather certain information automatically as part of your use of our cloud products and services. This information may include identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity information such as IP address (or proxy server), mobile device number, device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, Internet service provider or mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, website and webpage interactions including searches and other actions you take, operating system and system configuration information and date and time stamps associated with your usage. This information is used to maintain the security of the services, to provide necessary functionality, to improve performance of the services, to assess and improve customer and user experience of the services, to review compliance with applicable usage terms, to identify future opportunities for development of the services, to assess capacity requirements, to identify customer opportunities, and for the security of Archipelago generally (in addition to the security of our products and services). Some of the device and usage data collected by the services, whether alone or in conjunction with other data, could be personally identifying to you. Please note that such device and usage data is generally used to identify the uniqueness of each user logging on (as opposed to specific individuals), apart from where it is strictly required to identify an individual for security purposes or as required as part of our provision of the services to our customers.
4.2 Cookies and Online Analytics
We use a variety of online tracking and analytics tools (e.g., cookies, pixel tags, and web beacons ) to collect and analyze information as you use our Websites and services.
When you visit our Websites, we, or an authorized third party, may place a cookie on your device that collects information, including Personal Data, about your online activities over time and across different sites. Cookies allow us to track use, infer browsing preferences, and improve and customize your browsing experience.
We may sometimes use cookies delivered by us or by third parties to show you ads for our products that we think may interest you on devices you use and to track the performance of our advertisements. For example, these cookies collect information such as which browser you used when visiting our Websites.
We may also use third-party web analytics services (e.g. Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and/or Pardot) to track and analyze usage information to provide enhanced interactions and more relevant communications, and to track the performance of our advertisements. You can learn about Google’s privacy practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
Archipelago may also contract with third-party advertising networks that collect IP addresses and other information from web beacons on our Websites, from emails, and on third-party websites. Advertising networks may follow your online activities over time and across different websites or other online services by collecting device and usage data through automated means, including through the use of cookies, and serve advertisements that may be of interest to you on sites across the Internet. These technologies may recognize you across the different devices you use.
The types of tracking and analytics tools we and our service providers use for these purposes include, for example:
- “Cookies” are small data files stored on your computer or device to collect information about your use of our Websites, services and advertisements. Cookies may enable us to recognize you as the same user who visited our Websites and/or used our services in the past, and relate your usage to other information we have about you. Cookies may also be used to enhance your experience (for example, by storing your username) and/or to collect general usage and aggregated statistical information. Most browsers can be set to detect cookies and give you an opportunity to reject them, but refusing cookies may, in some cases, limit your use of our Websites, services, or features. To learn more about the use of cookies, including how to manage or delete them, click here. Please note that by blocking, disabling, or managing any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings.
- “Local shared objects,” or “flash cookies,” may be stored on your computer or device using a media player or other software. Local shared objects operate much like cookies, but cannot be managed in the same way. Depending on how local shared objects are enabled on your computer or device, you may be able to manage them using software settings. For information on managing flash cookies, for example, click here.
- A “pixel tag” (also known as a “clear GIF”) or “web beacon” is a tiny image – typically just one-pixel – that can be placed on a web page or in our electronic communications to you in order to help us measure the effectiveness of our content and advertisements by, for example, counting the number of individuals who visit us online or verifying whether you’ve opened one of our emails or seen one of our web pages.
4.3 Notices on behavioral advertising and opt-out for Website visitors
As described above, we or one of our authorized partners may place or read cookies on your device or use similar technologies when you visit our Websites for the purpose of serving you targeted advertising on sites across the Internet (also referred to as “online behavioral advertising” or “interest-based advertising”). To learn more about targeted advertising and advertising networks, and to opt out of third party vendors’ use of cookies, please visit the opt-out pages of the Network Advertising Initiative, here, and the Digital Advertising Alliance, here.
To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, click here. Various browsers may also offer their own management tools for removing certain types of local storage.
4.4 Opt-Out from the setting of cookies on your individual browser
In many cases you may opt-out from the collection of non-essential device and usage data on your web browser by managing your cookies at the browser or device level. In addition, if you wish to opt-out of interest-based advertising, click here (or, if located in the European Union, click here). Please note, however, that by blocking or deleting cookies and similar technologies used on our Websites, you may not be able to take full advantage of the Websites.
