Visitors to Data Vanture Clients' Websites. Our Clients may use customized and proprietary Data Vanture code, software and/or services ("Service(s)") to obtain information regarding the activities that users engage in while visiting their web pages ("Client User Data"). When a user visits a website that uses Data Vanture Service, Data Vanture code contained on the website contacts Data Vanture servers and enables Data Vanture to collect Client User Data. Some Clients may also use their own code to obtain Client User Data and then send such information to Data Vanture servers. Client User Data may include Personally Identifiable Information, including, but not limited to, the types of information listed for Data Vanture Client Information above.

Client User Data is stored on Data Vanture web servers and databases (including those hosted on third party servers on behalf of Data Vanture) for use in performing analysis and producing reports for the applicable Kick Scraper Client. In addition, Data Vanture itself uses the Data Vanture Service in order to obtain insights into visitors' activities on its own websites, which include, as of the Effective Date, https://www.datavanture.com.

Data Vanture collection and analysis of Client User Data helps our Clients to evaluate and understand how their users are interacting with their websites, and potentially, to modify their websites in order to make them more valuable or useful for their users. Data Vanture Clients determine the types of Client User Data that are sent to Data Vanture servers for analysis. This data may include or be linked to Personally Identifiable Information depending on how the Client uses Data Vanture Services on its website(s). Data Vanture Clients are contractually prohibited from sending personally sensitive Client User Data (e.g. personal health information, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs) to Data Vanture and Data Vanture does not knowingly receive such data.

In addition, Data Vanture may collect certain information about a Client's visitor's computer that may be provided by the visitor's browser. This includes browser information, operating system information, mobile device information, IP address, time of visit, and the referring site, application, or service. Such information may be collected and shared with the Data Vanture Client even though not specifically requested by the Client.

How Do We Use This Information?

Data Vanture does not collect or aggregate information about end user behavior across multiple, different websites that are operated by different Clients, nor does it use any Client User Data for purposes of behavioral advertising.

However, Data Vanture may analyze Client User Data in the aggregate for purposes of internal research and/or to determine overall trends or metrics concerning how users are engaging with websites, and may report such general trends publicly, without disclosing any Client User Data.

Our Client's Use of Data Vanture. Data Vanture contractually requires its Clients to abide by all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including Privacy Shield where it applies, as well as other applicable laws relating to privacy and data collection ("Applicable Laws"). Data Vanture also contractually requires its Clients to obtain any necessary consents from visitors to its website(s) for the Client's use of Data Vanture services, comply with all Applicable Laws (including, as an example, Privacy Shield where it applies) with respect to the transfer of Personally Identifiable Information of EU or Swiss subjects through the Service, and to post an online privacy policy that provides each visitor with clear notice of its practices regarding data collection, use, and disclosure (including the Client's use of Data Vanture), along with a link to the Kick Scraper Privacy Policy and to the Data Vanture Service Opt-Out (discussed below).

Data Vanture cannot be held responsible for any Client's failure to make these disclosures on its website or for any Client's use or collection of Client User Data that is not permitted under this Privacy Policy or otherwise. For more details on the terms that apply to our Clients' use of the Data Vanture Service, please see Section 4 ("Privacy") in the Data Vanture Terms of Use.

Data Vanture Use of Cookies and Web Beacons Cookies.

Data Vanture does not use methods such as browser cache, Flash cookies, or eTags, for acquiring or storing information about end users web browsing activity on Client websites or otherwise.

Depending on how our Clients use Data Vanture Services, information contained in Data Vanture cookies placed on the computers of end users may be linked to Personally Identifiable Information in Data Vanture database. This allows our Clients to use the Data Vanture Service to better analyze and understand their users' interactions with their website and to conduct the types of analysis described above in the section titled "Visitors to Data Vanture Clients' Websites."

If you would like more information on how to opt-out of tracking by Data Vanture, please see the section on "User Privacy Controls" below.

Some Clients may also implement their own cookies and other tracking technologies, such as JavaScript code, web beacons and SDKs, to collect Client User Data on their websites, which may be used by itself or in conjunction with Client User Data gathered by Data Vanture. In such instances, the Client is responsible for the use of these cookies or other technologies and Data Vanture is not responsible for Clients' use of data gathered through these methods.

Web Beacons. Data Vanture may also use web beacons (also known as web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) on our Clients' websites and in email messages. A web beacon is a small transparent graphic image (usually just 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a web page or in an email that is used to monitor activity on the page or to make the email message readable. Web beacons are used to help us analyze user behavior, deliver cookies, collect information, count visits, understand usage and ad campaign effectiveness, and to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.

In addition, Data Vanture uses web beacons on its websites and in emails to Data Vanture Clients in order to understand how Clients are engaging with the Data Vanture website and Data Vanture marketing emails. Data Vanture may also implement third party web beacons within the Data Vanture Service in order to help gather non-personally identifiable information about Clients' use of the Service which is then used by Data Vanture to trouble shoot and improve the Data Vanture Service.

Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

Data Vanture does not rent, sell or share Personally Identifiable Information with third parties, other than as described in this section.

Data Vanture Clients. Data Vanture may share Client User Data, including Personally Identifiable Information, with the applicable Data Vanture Client whose website transmitted the information to Data Vanture. Data Vanture contractually requires that its Clients abide by Applicable Laws and that they not use Personally Identifiable Information collected via Data Vanture for the purposes of advertising, marketing, or any other purpose other than for understanding how users are engaging with the Client's website or service. Data Vanture Service Providers. Data Vanture may employ third parties to perform Service-related services, including database management, maintenance services, analytics, marketing, data processing, and email and text message distribution.
