Privacy Policy

 

This privacy Policy is Effective as of April 14, 2023. 

Your privacy is important to FieldStream. Therefore, we have developed a Privacy Policy that covers the collection, use, disclosure, transfer, and storage of your information. Please familiarize yourself with our privacy practices, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Personal information is data that can be used to identify or contact a single person.

You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact with FieldStream or its affiliated companies. FieldStream and its affiliates may share this personal information with each other and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy. They may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising.

Here are some examples of the types of personal information FieldStream may collect and how we may use it.

What personal information we collect

When you create a FieldStream account, purchase a product, download a software update or participate in an online survey, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, and credit card information.

How we use your personal information

The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on FieldStream’s latest product announcements, software updates, and upcoming events. It also helps us to improve our services, content, and advertising. If you don’t want to be on our mailing list, you can opt-out anytime by updating your preferences.

We also use personal information to help us develop, deliver, and improve our products and services.

From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with FieldStream, you may not opt-out of receiving these communications.

We may also use personal information, or access your account for internal purposes to help with diagnosing, troubleshooting and supporting you to use & understand our services, along with auditing, data analysis, and research to improve FieldStream’s products, services, and customer communications.

If you enter into a sweepstake, contest, or similar promotion we may use the information you provide to administer those programs.

Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

We also collect non-personal information, which is data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:

We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, location, and the time zone where a FieldStream product is used so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products and services.

We also may collect information regarding customer activities on our website, and from our other products and services. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

If we do combine non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.

Cookies and Other Technologies

FieldStream’s use of cookies and other technologies, such as pixel tags and web beacons, may be employed across its website, online services, interactive applications, and email messages. These technologies aid in the analysis of user behavior, identifying which parts of the website are visited, and assessing the effectiveness of products and services. FieldStream considers information gathered by cookies and other technologies to be non-personal information. However, if Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are deemed personal information by local law, FieldStream will treat these identifiers accordingly. Additionally, if non-personal information is merged with personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal information for the purpose of this Privacy Policy.

As with most websites, certain information is automatically collected and stored in log files, including IP addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. This information is used by FieldStream to identify trends, administer the site, gather demographic information about the user base, and analyze user behavior on the site. FieldStream may use this information for marketing and advertising purposes.

In some email messages, a click-through URL linked to content on the FieldStream website may be included. When users click on these links, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on the website. Click-through data is tracked to determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of customer communications. If users prefer not to be tracked in this manner, they should avoid clicking on text or graphic links in email messages.

Pixel tags are utilized to send email messages in a format that is easy for customers to read and to determine whether mail has been opened. This information may be used by FieldStream to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.

Disclosure to Third Parties

On occasion, FieldStream may provide certain personal information to strategic partners that work with FieldStream to provide products and services or help FieldStream market to customers.

Service Providers

FieldStream shares personal information with companies that offer services such as information processing, extending credit, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products, managing and enhancing customer data, providing customer service, assessing interest in products and services, and conducting customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are obligated to safeguard user information and may be located wherever FieldStream operates.

Others

FieldStream may be required to disclose personal information by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside the user’s country of residence.

Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale, all personal information collected may be transferred to the relevant third party.
