Cookies
We and our vendors may collect information using cookies and other similar technologies that track, measure, and analyze the behaviors and usage patterns on our Services. Cookies are small data files that can be stored on your browser and device. We use cookies for a variety of purposes, including analytics and advertising purposes, to recognize you when you return to the Services, to deliver certain features of the Services, to help us understand how users engage with the Services, and to improve your experience.
You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and to accept or refuse certain cookies. However, if you elect not to accept cookies, some functionality and areas of the Services may be restricted. To learn how to manage your cookies, please follow the instructions from your specific browser, or if accessing the Services via a mobile device, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you disable cookies using a browser or device setting, that setting will apply only to the browser or device you are using, so you will need to reset the setting on a different browser or device. If you disable some or all cookies, the Services may not function as intended and some features may be unavailable.
Online Analytics
We and our vendors may use third-party analytics services on the Services to help us understand how users engage with the Services, including but not limited to HubSpot, Google Analytics, and other similar analytic services. These parties may use cookies and other technologies to help collect, analyze, and provide us with reports and/or data. For more information about HubSpot Analytics and how it collects and processes data, please visit: https://legal.hubspot.com/terms-of-service. To opt out of HubSpot Analytics using your information for analytics purposes, see https://legal.hubspot.com/cookie-policy. For more information about Google Analytics and how it collects and processes data, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. To opt out of Google Analytics using your information for analytics purposes, see: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Online Advertising
We and third parties may use the information we collect to tailor the advertising you see online. You have choices about how information about you is used for this purpose.
Some tailored advertising is carried out using cookies. You may be able to set your browser to refuse certain types of cookies or alert you when they are being used, as explained above. In addition, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of tailored advertising and your choices regarding having information used by companies participating in the DAA. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of tailored advertising and your choices regarding having information used by NAI members. We make no representation about the accuracy or effectiveness of these opt-out mechanisms.
Mobile devices often include settings to help you manage how your device collects and discloses information for advertising purposes. For more information on how to manage those devices settings, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s mobile choice page.
Modifying your browser settings or opting out of tailored advertising via your web browser may have different results depending on the type of device or web browser you use and the version of your device operating system. Opting out of tailored advertising does not prevent you from seeing ads online; instead, the ads you see are less likely to be customized to your interests. Opting out is generally effective only on a device-by-device, or browser-by-browser basis. If you use more than one browser or device, the effect of any opt-out mechanism may be limited to the device on which you used the mechanism.
“Do Not Track”
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a setting that users can enable in certain web browsers. DNT signals do not have a commonly agreed-upon meaning and we do not currently recognize or respond to DNT signals.
Security
Although we take certain measures to protect your information, no method of security is perfect. By using our Services, you acknowledge and accept that we cannot guarantee the security of your information, and that you provide information to us at your own risk. You are responsible for keeping your username and password confidential.
Data Retention
We may retain your information until we determine that retention no longer is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and retained, and as required by applicable law. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the context and purpose of its collection and use.
Third-Party Links and Content
The Services may have links and embedded content to third-party websites, apps, or other digital properties that may have privacy policies that differ from ours. We are not responsible for the practices of such third parties or their sites, apps, or properties. You should check their privacy policies to understand how they may handle your information.
Likewise, the Services may have third-party content. We do not make any representations concerning the accuracy of such information and are not responsible in any way for third-party content on our Services. You interact with third-party content at your own risk.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information (as defined in applicable law) from children under the age permitted by applicable law without parental consent. If we become aware that a child has disclosed information to us in a way that is prohibited by applicable children's privacy laws, we will delete such information in accordance with applicable law.
California “Shine the Light” Disclosure
The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to opt out of the sharing of certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Information for Non-United States Residents
Please note that S360 is located in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, you should be aware that any information you provide to us about yourself is transmitted to us and processed in the United States and other locations where we or our vendors or partners are located.
