Business information is treated in accordance with the terms of our Services Agreement, which must be accepted by you or your employer prior to your use of our Services.
What Information Do We Collect About You And Why?
The information we collect from you allows us to better understand your areas of interest, your use of our website and applications, and with your permission, to communicate with you. If you are a subscriber or an authorized user of a subscriber, it also allows you to log into our website and applications and utilize our services.
All website visitors
When visiting our website or using our applications we collect certain information automatically. For example, we receive website usage data from our website host.

In some of our email messages, we may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on our website. When you click one of these URLs, you will pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications.
In addition, we collect the following information from you:

- Your company name (this is your full legal name);
- Your contact person’s name and title;
- Your contact person’s email address and desired password; and
- Your contact person’s phone number.
Authorized Users
If you are an employee, then when your employer becomes one of our subscribers, you may be asked to make use of our services.

- Your full name;
- Your ZIP Code;

- Your desired password; and
- Your phone number.
Information about you that we collect from your employer may include, without limitation, your birthday, gender, hire date, position, compensation, benefits, performance reviews, schedules, timekeeping records, and other work-related information.

- To improve our website, applications, and Services by providing personalized experiences, location customization, personalized help, and instructions;

Subscribers and Authorized Users
We may also disclose the information that we collect from you as follows:
Service Providers. We may disclose the information we collect from you to third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform functions on our behalf such as Amazon Web Services and Mapbox. Among other things, these providers may help us administer our website and applications, store your data, process your data, or process your payments for use of our Services. These third parties have agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of your information and may be located anywhere in the United States of America. Where required by law, these companies agree to only use such information for the purposes for which they have been engaged by us unless you expressly permit them to use your information for other purposes.
We also may share your information for the following reasons:
Business Transfers. If we are acquired by or merged with another company, if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another company, or as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, we may transfer the information we have collected from you to the acquiring company. You acknowledge and agree that any successor to or acquirer of our business will continue to have the right to use your information in accordance with the terms of this Policy.
Response to Legal Process. We also may disclose the information we collect from you in order to comply with the law, a judicial proceeding, court order, or by other legal processes, such as in response to a subpoena.
To Protect Ourselves and Others. We also may disclose the information we collect from you where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or violations of this Policy.
Aggregated and Anonymized Information. We may share aggregated or anonymized information about visitors, Subscribers, and Authorized Users with third parties for marketing, advertising, research, or similar purposes. For example, if we display advertisements on behalf of a third party, we may share aggregated, demographic information with that third party about the visitors, Subscribers, and Authorized Users to whom we displayed the advertisements.
Third-Party Links. At times, our website and applications may contain links to other third-party websites. For example, when you access the map feature on our website the map is generated by Mapbox utilizing your data as customized by us. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Policy, but, instead, is governed by the privacy policies of those third-party websites, and we are not responsible for the information practices of such third-party websites.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We have implemented commercially reasonable precautions, including, where appropriate, password protection, encryption, and secure socket layering to protect our website and the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security all of the time. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any of your personal information via the Internet.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, computer, and web-enabled devices, among other things, by signing off after using a shared computer, inserting a password on your web-enabled device, choosing a password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, keeping your password private, and periodically changing your password. You should never share your log-in information with others. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords, or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.
May I Access And Modify My Personal Information?
If your personal information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update, delete/remove, or ask to have it removed from our systems. We will respond to your request to access within 30 days. Please note that copies of information that you have updated, modified, or deleted may continue to reside in our systems for a period of time. In the event we are unable to complete your access request, we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law. If your information has been shared with a third party, as described above, then that third party has received their own copy of your data. If you wish to correct or request that they delete your information, please contact them directly.
Children Under 13
Children under the age of 13 may not use our website or applications. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13.
