This Privacy Policy applies to information Vision Insights collects through the Vision Platform, as well as other information provided to us online or offline by third parties when we associate that information with users of the Vision Platform (but not to information collected from our employees, contractors, or vendors). Certain third parties may also be able to collect information via the Vision Platform. The data collection and use practices of these third parties may be governed by those third parties’ own policies, including their own privacy policies, as further described in Sections 2(A), 4, and 5, below.

2. Collection of Your Personal and Other Information
When you register for, or use the Vision Platform, we collect Personal Information. By “Personal Information” we mean information that can identify an individual, such as:
​
· Name, date of birth, email address, zip/postal code, physical location information and contact information.
· Your Internet Protocol (IP address)
· Personal Information you choose to provide, including your age, gender, race/ethnicity, job title and role, industry, and employer information.
The Vision Platform may integrate with social media, other third-party platforms, and connected TV platforms. When you connect your account from a third-party platform to the Vision Platform, we may collect information from that third-party platform and share information with that third-party platform. This collected information may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, phone number, billing address, demographic information from your profile, or other information about you. You acknowledge and agree that Vision Insights is not responsible for the data collection or use practices of any such connected third-party platform. You should read each third-party platform’s privacy policy before connecting that third-party account.
​
You may choose not to provide some Personal Information, but this may prevent you from receiving certain features of the Vision Platform.
We may also collect non-Personal Information relating to the Vision Platform, that is, information that does not personally identify an individual. The non-Personal Information we may collect includes how you interact with the Vision Platform, information generally collected or “logged” by Internet websites or Internet services when accessed or used by users, and information about your web browser or device accessing or using the Vision Platform.
​
Examples of the non-Personal Information we may collect are:
· Information about your computer or mobile device, such as its maker or operating system version, and HTTP header information;
· The pages of our website that you viewed during a visit;
· What information, or content you view or interact with using the Vision Platform; and
· The city, state, province and country in which you and/or your device are located.
We will not use non-Personal Information to try to identify you, and if we associate any non-Personal Information with information that personally identifies you, then we will treat it as Personal Information. As discussed in more detail below, we sometimes use cookies and other automatic information gathering technologies to gather non-Personal Information.
Information collected by the Vision Platform may be collected by us or one of our service providers, but in either case, this Privacy Policy will govern the collection, use, and sharing of the information.
3. Use of Your Information

We may use the information we collect to:
· To deliver services
· Assist us in providing, maintaining, and protecting the Vision Platform;
· Set up, maintain, and protect accounts to use the Vision Platform;

4. Disclosure of Your Information
​
We may disclose your Personal Information to third parties as described below.
​
We may disclose Personal Information to provide services to you, or when you authorize or instruct us to do so, for example when you use the Vision Platform to submit content or profile information.
We may disclose Personal Information and non-Personal Information to our marketing partners and sponsors so that they can provide you with offers that may be of interest to you. Any further use of such information by such parties will be governed by the privacy policies of such marketing partners and sponsors and not by this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose Personal Information and non-Personal Information to those companies, agents, contractors, service providers, or others engaged to perform functions on our behalf (such as processing of payments, provision of data storage, hosting of our website, marketing of our products and services, conducting audits, and performing web analytics).
We may license third party software to include in or use with the Vision Platform, in which case we may disclose Personal Information and/or Non-Personal Information to the licensor. These third parties’ collection and use of Personal Information and non-Personal Information are subject to their own privacy policies, which you can read here:
​
We may also disclose Personal Information to other third parties upon your consent to such disclosures.
​
In addition, we may disclose your Personal Information to third parties when we believe, in good faith and in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) enforce or apply the terms and conditions of the Vision Platform, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (b) comply with legal or regulatory requirements or an enforceable governmental request, (c) protect the rights, property or safety of Vision Insights, our users or other third parties, (d) prevent a crime or protect national security, or (e) detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
​
Finally, we reserve the right to transfer information (including your Personal Information) to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of all or a portion of the assets of our company relating to the Vision Platform, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, or receivership of our business. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of such transfer, for example via email or by posting notice on our website.
​
Lastly, we may also disclose non-Personal Information, aggregated with information about our other users, to our business partners, merchants, investors, potential buyers and other third parties if we deem such disclosure, in our sole discretion, to have sound business reasons or justifications.
​
5. Cookies and Automatic Information Gathering Technologies
​
Every time you use the Vision Platform we collect non-Personal Information (discussed above in Section 2) regarding that use. For example, to improve the Vision Platform, we collect how, when, and which parts of the Vision Platform or its features you use, which third-party platforms you connect to the Vision Platform, and when, how, and what you post to the third-party platforms through the Vision Platform. Also, we may use your device’s unique identifier (UDID), media access control address (MAC Address), or other unique identifiers to assist us in collecting and analyzing this data.
To assist us in collecting and storing this non-Personal Information, we may employ a variety of technologies, including “Cookies,” local browser storage, and “Web Beacons.” A “Cookie” is a small amount of data a website operator, or a third party whose content is embedded in that website, may store in your web browser and that the website operator or, as applicable, the third party, can access when you visit the website. A Cookie may also refer to web-browser-based storage provided by Adobe’s Flash plugin (a “Flash Cookie”). Vision Platform Cookies may contain user preferences, unique identifiers, and other non-Personal Information. A “Web Beacon” is a small, usually transparent image placed on a web page that allows the operator of that image, which may be the operator of the website you visit or a third party, to read or write a Cookie.
We, or our sponsors, marketing partners and/or vendors may use Cookies to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before on the same or different device and to otherwise control and tailor the display of ads to you based on your preferences, to track the movements of individual users through the Vision Platform and elsewhere on the web or across apps, devices, and geographic locations, to help diagnose problems with servers, to gather broad demographic information, to conduct research, to record registration and personalization information, and to otherwise administer the Vision Platform.
In addition, Vision Insights and our sponsors, marketing partners and/or vendors may use Cookies in our communications with you, such as within e-mail and text messages and push notifications, and to determine which messages have been opened by recipients.
Your operating system and web browser may allow you to erase information stored in Cookies, Flash Cookies, and local browser storage. But if you do so, you may be forced to login to the Vision Platform again and you may lose some preferences or settings. You may also be able to set your browser to refuse all website storage or to indicate when it is permitted, but some features of the Vision Platform may not function properly without it. We may use Cookies to keep you logged in, save your preferences for the Vision Platform, and to collect information about how you use the Vision Platform.
More information about managing Cookies is available here. Cookie management tools provided by your browser may not affect Flash Cookies. More information about managing Flash Cookies is available here. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for your local browser storage, please refer to the end user documentation for your browser.
​
6. Transparency and Choice; Do Not Track Signals
​
You may request access to your Personal Information by sending an email to legalnotice@visioninsights.net. We will try to locate and provide you with your Personal Information and give you the opportunity to correct this data, if it is inaccurate, or to delete it, at your request. But, in either case, we may need to retain it for legal reasons or for legitimate business purposes.
​
We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected, or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backups), or relate to information that is not associated with your Personal Information. In any case, where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.
​
Please be aware that if you request us to delete your Personal Information, you may not be able to continue to use the Vision Platform but will still be charged with any future payments remaining on your account. Also, even if you request that we delete your Personal Information, we may need to retain certain information for a limited period of time to satisfy our legal, audit and/or dispute resolution requirements.
We support the development and implementation of a standard “do not track” browser feature that provides customers with control over the collection and use of information about their web-browsing activities. Once a standardized “do not track” feature is released, we intend to adhere to the browser settings accordingly.
You can opt out of receiving marketing e-mails from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in the e-mails. Please note that it may take up to ten (10) business days for your opt-out request to be processed. Also, even if you opt out of marketing e-mails, we may continue to send you certain account-related e-mails, such as notices about your account, password reset requests and confirmations of transactions you have requested.
​
7. Children
​
The Vision Platform is not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from users under 16 years of age. We do not authorize users under 16 years of age to use the Vision Platform. By signing up for Vision, you are confirming that you are at least 17 years of age.
8. Information Security
We utilize reasonable information security measures to safeguard your Personal Information against unauthorized access, modification, or destruction. For example, we utilize Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS), or similar encryption technology when sensitive data is transmitted over the Internet and use firewalls to help prevent external access into our network. However, no data transmission over the Internet and no method of data storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its security.
Within Vision Insights, we restrict access to Personal Information to our employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, improve or support the Vision Platform. If we share Personal Information with service providers, we require that they also use reasonable information security measures to safeguard your Personal Information and only use your Personal Information for the purposes for which we share it with them.
9. California Privacy Rights
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.
If you are under 18 years of age, reside in California, and have a registered Vision Platform account, you have the right to request removal of unwanted data that you publicly post on the Vision Platform. To request removal of such data, please contact us using the contact information provided below, and include the email address associated with your account and a statement that you reside in California. We will make sure the data is not publicly displayed on the Vision Platform, but please be aware that the data may not be completely or comprehensively removed from our systems.
10. Additional Privacy Rights

You may request, up to two (2) times per year: (1) the categories and specific pieces of data that Vision Insights has collected from you; (2) the categories of sources from which your data was collected; (3) the categories of third parties to which your data has been disclosed or sold; and (4) the purposes for which the information was disclosed or sold. If you would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.
Subject to certain limitations, you have the right to (1) request to know more about the categories and specific pieces of personal information Vision Insights collects, uses, and discloses about you, (2) request deletion of your Personal Information, (3) opt out of any sales of your Personal Information, and (4) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

Please note that the Vision Platform may link or integrate with third-party sites, services or apps. We are not responsible for the privacy or security policies or practices or the content of such third parties. Accordingly, we encourage you to review the privacy and security policies and terms of service of those third parties so that you understand how those websites collect, use, share and protect your information.
