Exaptive's Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Exaptive, Inc. collects, uses, and shares the information collected through our website, products, and services, available at exaptive.com, exaptive.city, and various subdomains. It also describes the choices that you have regarding use, access, and correction of information collected about you.

Sometimes we collect information because it is submitted to us by a website visitor, a customer, or a software user. We also collect data automatically about visits to our website and use of our software. We also, at times, collect or handle data on behalf of our customers.

Sometimes the data we collect is considered Personal Data, which is: 1) information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate you; or 2) other information about you that is stored in such a way that it is associated with your identity.

By visiting our website or using any of our products or services, you agree that your information will be handled as described in this Policy.

Information We Collect About You

We may collect information about you directly from you, from third parties that possess information about you, or automatically through your use of our website, products, or services.

Information We Collect Directly From You. Sometimes you must provide personal information in order to access particular materials from our website or to access particular functionality in our products or services. We aspire to only request the information that is necessary or beneficial in the context it is requested. We also aspire to make it obvious why we are collecting the information in that context. You can always decline to access those materials or functionality and thereby avoid providing us with this information. Once we have collected your information, you maintain control of it. You can delete it or alter it, either through the user interface of our software or by contacting us at privacy@exaptive.com.

Information We Collect on Behalf of or From a Third Party. Sometimes we collect information under the direction of a customer, partner, or another third-party with whom we are working. Sometimes they use software or a service they bought from us to collect your information. If either case applies to you, we may not have a direct relationship with you. The best way to have your data deleted or changed would be to contact that customer. If in doubt, you may, however, contact us, and we will try to help.

Information We Collect Automatically. We may automatically collect information about your use of our website, product or services, through cookies and other technologies, including some identifying information, like your domain name, your IP address, or device ID.

We, our service providers and our customers use technologies such as cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level.

Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our site who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the site, but some features may not function.

Analytics. We use automated applications and services to track our visitors and evaluate usage of our website, products, and services. We use these tools to help us improve our website, products, and services. Sometimes these tools are our own. Sometimes they are products or services provided by a third-party.

Please note, when it comes to online advertising, we only control our own ad campaigns. But you have some control over whether online advertisers, in general, serve you targeted ads. You may opt-out of targeted ads from many providers here, or if located in the European Union, here. This does not opt you out of being served all online ads. You will just continue to receive generic ads. You can also delete your browser’s cookie history to eliminate targeted ads.

Schedule of Data Collection

The following is a comprehensive schedule of all types of Personal Data we handle in each context, what third-party processes it, where it is stored, and how to find more information.

If you are in the European Union, you can assume that your Personal Data will be stored at least in part outside the EU in all these cases. We will provide the best information we can get about where the data is stored.
