Device and usage data

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically on connection with the use of the website by individual users. This information may include IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, searches, operating system and system configuration information and date/time stamps associated with your usage. This information is used to analyze overall trends, to help us provide and improve our websites and to guarantee their security and continued proper functioning.

Cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies on our website and in email communications

We use cookies and similar technologies such as web beacons, tags and JavaScript, alone or in conjunction with cookies, to compile information about the usage of our websites and interaction with emails from us.

Cookies allow us to track usage, determine your browsing preferences and improve and customize your browsing experience.

We use both session-based and persistent cookies on our websites. Session-based cookies exist only during one session and disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or device after you close your browser or turn off your computer.

Such technologies are used to operate and improve our websites and email communications.

The following describes how we use different categories of cookies and similar technologies and your options for managing the data collection settings of these technologies:

Required cookies


Required cookies are necessary for   basic website functionality. Some examples include: session cookies needed to   transmit the website, authentication cookies, and security cookies.


If you have chosen to identify   yourself to us, we may place on your browser a cookie that allows us to   uniquely identify you when you are logged into the websites and to process   your online transactions and requests.

Functional cookies enhance   functions, performance, and services on the website. Some examples include:   cookies used to analyze site traffic, cookies used for market research, and   cookies used to display advertising that is not directed to a particular individual.
 

 Functional cookies may also be used to improve how our websites function and   to help us provide you with more relevant communications, including marketing   communications. These cookies collect information about how our websites are   used, including which pages are viewed most often.
 

 We may use our own technology or third-party technology to track and analyze   usage information to provide enhanced interactions and more relevant   communications, and to track the performance of our advertisements.
 

 For example, we use Google Analytics ("Google Analytics"), a web   analytics service provided by Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway,   Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. You can learn about Google’s privacy practices   by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/‌partners/

Targeting or Advertising cookies


Targeting or advertising cookies   track activity across websites in order to understand a viewer’s interests,   and to direct specific marketing to them. Some examples include: cookies used   for remarketing, or interest-based advertising.
 

 We 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 and remember information such as which browsers have visited our   websites.
 

 Elevate.ac also contracts 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 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. These technologies may recognize you across the   different devices you use, such as a desktop or laptop computer, smartphone   or tablet. Third parties use this information to provide advertisements about   products and services tailored to your interests. You may see their   advertisements on other websites or mobile applications on any of your   devices. This process also helps us manage and track the effectiveness of our   marketing efforts.

Notices on behavioural advertising and opt-out for website visitors

As described above, we or third parties may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser when you visit our websites for the purpose of serving you targeted advertising (also referred to as “online behavioural advertising” or “interest-based advertising”). To learn more about targeted advertising and advertising networks or opt out, please visit the opt-out pages of the Network Advertising Initiative.

In addition, if you wish to opt-out of interest-based advertising click here for N.America or click here for EU).

While some internet browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked, these features are not yet uniform and there is no common standard that has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators. Therefore, we do not currently commit to responding to browsers' DNT signals with respect to our websites. Elevate.ac takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.


Telephony log information

If you use certain features of our services on a mobile device, we may also collect telephony log information (like phone numbers, time and date of calls, duration of calls, SMS routing information and types of calls), device event information (such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser language), and location information (through IP address, GPS, and other sensors that may, for example, provide us with information on nearby devices, Wi-Fi access points and cell towers).

How to exercise your rights

To exercise your rights, please contact us by using the information in the “Contact us” section, below. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month and will contact you if we need additional information from you in order to honour your request. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month, taking into account the complexity and number of requests we receive. If you are an employee/contractor/client/student/affiliate/content provider of an Elevate.ac customer, we recommend you contact your company’s system administrator for assistance in correcting or updating your information.

Some registered users may update their user settings, profiles, organization settings and event registrations by logging into their accounts and editing their settings or profiles.

To update your billing information, discontinue your account and/or request return or deletion of your Personal Data and other information associated with your account, please contact us by using the information in the “Contacting us” section, below.


Your rights relating to customer data

As described above, we may also process Personal Data submitted by or for a customer to our cloud products and services. To this end, if not stated otherwise in this Privacy Statement or in a separate disclosure, we process such Personal Data in the role of a mere processor on behalf of a customer (and/or its affiliates) who is the responsible controller of the Personal Data concerned (see the "Responsible Elevate.ac entity" section above). We are not responsible for and have no control over the privacy and data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those set forth in this Privacy Statement. If your data has been submitted to us by or on behalf an Elevate.ac Group or Enterprise customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please inquire with the applicable Group or Enterprise customer directly. Because we may only access a customer’s data upon instruction from that customer, if you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide to us the name of the Elevate.ac Group or Enterprise customer who submitted your data to us. We will refer your request to that Group or Enterprise customer and will support them as needed in responding to your request within a reasonable timeframe.
