B. Usage Data
When you visit the Website, whether you are logged in or just browsing without logging in, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. Similarly, when you log into the Platform using the Mobile App, our services automatically record information that the Mobile App sends. The information sent automatically by your browser and the Mobile App is referred to as “Usage Data.” This Usage Data may include information such as the manufacturer and model of your mobile device, your Internet Service Provider (ISP); your device’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (or other device identifier), browser type, and operating system; referring/exit pages; clickstream data; pages of the Website that you visit, the time spent on those pages or interacting with certain portions of the Mobile App, information you search for on the Platform, Website and Mobile App access times and dates; and other statistics.
We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Platform, including for technical and administrative purposes, to increase the functionality and user-friendliness of the Platform, and to better tailor it to our End Users’ needs.
Additionally, Suggestic may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Platform. When an End User clicks onto one of these URLs, the End User will pass through our server before arriving at the destination webpage. Suggestic tracks this click-through data to help us monitor and analyze usage. We may also use clear gifs or pixel tags, which are tiny graphic images for operational purposes.
II. Collection of Information
Suggestic may use a number of different techniques and technologies to collect Personal Information, Non-Identifying Information, and Usage Data.

The Platform uses cookies to determine whether an End User is active and for other business purposes, such as cookies that send data directly to Suggestic and agents and contractors acting on behalf of Suggestic, The cookies on our Platform do not track Internet activity across different websites.

If you prefer not to enable cookies, you may choose to disable them; however, please note that certain features on the Platform will not be available to you once cookies are disabled.
B. Usage Data
Usage Data is collected automatically by the Platform’s servers and software. For example, because the Website automatically collects Usage Data for all visitors and End Users that visit the Website, your Website session will be tracked. Additionally, the Mobile App collects Usage Data and sends it to the Platform servers to facilitate the Services provided to you through the Mobile App. You agree that we may collect and use technical data and related information, including technical information about your device, system and application software, and peripherals, to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other services to you related to the Mobile App.

We are very concerned with safeguarding your information and we use industry standard safety practices that also are in compliance with the 2018 GDPR.
