For information about how we collect and use information about our customers’ end users (“Customer Data”), please see the section below headed “Customer Data”.

For the purposes of EU data protection laws (“EU Data Protection Law”), Dashbot is a data controller (i.e., the company which is responsible for, and controls the processing of, your personal information).

**Information We Collect**

The categories of information we collect include:

**Information you provide to use directly.** We may collect certain personal information you provide to us in relation to your use of our Service, such as when you create an account with our Service, sign up for our mailing list, or otherwise communicate with us by sending us an email or posting information or other content to the Service, and we may also collect any communications between you and Dashbot and any other information you provide to Dashbot. In general, we may collect personal information that can identify you such as your name, phone number, payment information, and email address. We may also collect other information that does not directly identify you such as gender, birthday, password, and zip code.

**How We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technology to Collect Information**

We, and our third-party partners, automatically collect certain types of usage information when you visit our Service, read our emails, or otherwise engage with us. We typically collect this information through a variety of tracking technologies, including cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, local storage, file information, and similar technology (collectively, “tracking technologies”).

For example, we may automatically collect information such as your location/GPS coordinates, and information about your device and its software, such as your MAC address, Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, Internet service provider, platform type, device type, operating system, date and time stamp (a unique ID that allows us to uniquely identify your browser, mobile device, or your account), and other such information. We also collect information about the way you use our Service, for example, the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave our website, the pages you visit, the links you click, how frequently you access the Service, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails, whether you access the Service from multiple devices, and other actions you take on the Service.

When you access our Service from a mobile device, we may collect unique identification numbers associated with your device or our mobile application (including, for example, a UDID, Unique ID for Advertisers (“IDFA”), Google AdID, or Windows Advertising ID), mobile carrier, device type, model and manufacturer, mobile device operating system brand and model, phone number, and, depending on your mobile device settings, your geographical location data, including GPS coordinates (e.g., latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device, or we may be able to approximate a device’s location by analyzing other information, like an IP address. We may collect analytics data or use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service and to understand more about the demographics of our users. You can learn more about Google’s practices at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners and view its currently available opt-out options at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. We may also work with third-party partners to employ technologies, including the application of statistical modelling tools, which permit us to recognize and contact you across multiple devices. Although we do our best to honor the privacy preferences of our users, we are unable to respond to Do Not Track signals set by your browser at this time.

If you would prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers will allow you to: (i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set your browser to automatically reject cookies. Please note that doing so may negatively impact your experience using the Service, as some features and services on our Service may not work properly. Depending on your mobile device and operating system, you may not be able to delete or block all cookies. You may also set your email options to prevent the automatic downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether you have accessed our email and performed certain functions with it.

We and our third-party partners may also use cookies and tracking technologies for advertising purposes. For more information about tracking technologies, please see the section headed “Third Party Tracking and Online Advertising” below.
