Information We Collect

The following section describes the information that we collect and how we collect it. There are multiple ways in which we collect information, which can be broadly categorized into:

  • Information You Provide to Us
  • Automatic Information Collection
  • Information We Receive From Third Parties

Information You Provide to Us

We collect the information that you directly provide to us, such as when you enter it on a web page, or include it in an email that you send to us.

This type of collection often occurs through our business support processes, such as:

  • Registration or Account Creation Processes, where we ask you to provide information such as: Contact info (e.g. name, email or mailing address, or phone number); Account Administration Info (e.g. user name, password, or security questions); Billing Info (e.g. credit card or other payment number, billing address); and Profile Info (e.g. profile photo, language).
  • Purchase Processes, where we may ask you to provide your name, contact and billing info.
  • Technical and Customer Support Processes, where we may ask you to provide contact info and information related to the issue you are contacting us about.

In addition, we collect the information that you provide by entering it into certain Service features.

For example, when you place information into Services such as NerdVision or FusionReactor Cloud (which could contain personally identifying information) which we collect and then display for you inside the application. Also when you use other features such as blogs, surveys, user-generated content, activity streams, or social media, we may first collect the information you enter into the feature.

Please make sure that any personal details which you provide are accurate and current. We will send any important information relating to your account to you using the contact information you provide (including account security and data protection notices). Let us know if there are any changes. You can check and update the information you have provided to us any time by contacting us via the information in the “Our Details” section of this Privacy Policy. or by updating your information via your registered account. Always obtain consent first before giving us anyone else’s personal information.

Automatic Information Collection

We may also automatically or passively collect information about your use of our Services. While information collected in this manner is not typically personal information, we may combine it in ways that make it personally identifiable. When we do so, we will treat the combined information as personal information.

For example, data collected in this manner may include:

Web browsing, network or service usage data, such as browser type, internet service provider (ISP), IP address, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data;

Network connected hardware (e.g. computer or mobile device) data, such as a unique device identifier, type, model, version, error related data, status, capability, configuration, functionality, performance data, and connection type;

Network connected software data, for example services requested and used, or content downloaded and viewed;

Physical or geographic location data, such as country, region, city, or latitude and longitude. For example, to provide location based services, we may collect latitude and longitude.

Advertising data, such as display frequency, duration, location, or viewing software, or identifier.

Licence activation information ( ip address, mac address, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream dataTechnologies used in our Services to passively collect such information may include:

Alternatively, we may supplement the information we collect about you with outside records from third parties. We may combine the information we receive from these third parties with the information we directly collect, for example; our financial and anti-fraud service providers processing your account sign in and purchase transactions, in these cases we will handle it in accordance with this policy.
