This Privacy Policy explains how we process personal information, including business contact information and other types of personal information that are submitted to us through our Services or otherwise collected, stored, used, disclosed, inferred, acquired or processed by us in connection with developing, improving or providing our Services.

This Privacy Policy also describes Futern's practices for collecting, storing, using, disclosing, and otherwise processing personal information in relation to visitors to our website ("Website"), Futern's marketing activities, and Customers' use and access of our Services.

For data subjects whose personal information is included in Futern's contributor database, this Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with information on who Futern is, how you can opt-out of our database, and the potential outcomes of remaining in our database. You can opt-out of our database by emailing us at privacy@futern.com.

By remaining in our database, you may be contacted by our Customers when they are conducting their business-to-business sales and marketing activities. Communications you receive from our Customers may be relevant to your profession or employment role, but we cannot guarantee that you will find such communications to be relevant or of interest to you.

By accessing the Service, visiting the Website or otherwise participating in Futern marketing activities, you acknowledge the collection, use, disclosure and other handling of your information as described below. If you are interested in the rights that apply to the information that Customers submit to us or that we collect and use, please read this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service carefully.

1. Information we use to provide the service

We use a variety of information that we obtain from various sources, including our Customers and their users in order to provide the Service.

Information we collect from third party sources

We may obtain information from third party sources, such as data providers and integration parties, or from public sources and methods, such as information available on public APIs and the internet.

Information Customers and Users submit to us

Customers and their Users may provide a variety of information to us through the Service.

This includes:

• Users' own contact and other personal information, such as name, email address, telephone number, job title, employer and location.

• Other personal information, such as website visitor IP addresses, that our Customers submit to us through their use of our Service.

If we provide a payment option to Customers, we may collect payment data, and if a Customer purchases one of our online subscription-based Services, the Customer may need to provide payment and/or credit card information, and other information to validate their payment method and identity. We will use that information to fulfill the Customer's purchase request.

We likewise may request, and Customers and their Users may provide, additional information in order to create, support and maintain their account enabling access to the Services.

We refer to all of the above information referred to in this Section 1 as “Service Information.”

Our use of Service Information is governed by our Terms of Service and/or our other agreements with those Customers or their Users.

2. Information we collect automatically

We also use automated means to collect a variety of information from visitors to our Website and Users of our Service. We refer to this information, which we describe below (in this Section 2), as “Usage Information.”

First, if you visit our Website, or open an email that we send to you or that our Customers send to you through the Service, we and third parties may use automated means to collect information about you, your computer or other device, and your use of the Website or engagement with the email. These automated means include technologies such as cookies, Web server logs, Web beacons, pixels, and JavaScript, as well as functionality that can collect data from a mobile device.

Cookies are files that websites and online services create and access on your computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings on your device. Our Website and the Service may use HTTP cookies, HTML5 cookies, Flash cookies and other types of local storage (such as browser-based or plugin-based local storage). If you visit our Website or use the Service, your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and how to restrict or disable certain cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies or local storage you may not be able to use all of the features of our Website or the Service.

In conjunction with the gathering of information through cookies and other automated means, Web servers may log information such as your device type, operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. The Web server logs also may record information such as the address of the Web page that referred you to the Website and/or our Service and the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. Cookies and similar technologies also may log information about your interaction with our Website or the Service, such as which pages you visit or which Service functionality that you use, including by tracking page content, movements, and keystroke activities, in a manner that allows us to reproduce and fix issues and to identify areas of improvement. You can opt out of the use of this software by contacting us at privacy@futern.com. To control which Web servers collect information by automated means, we may place tags on our Web pages called “Web beacons,” which are files that link Web pages to particular Web servers and their cookies. We also may include Web beacons in e-mail messages that we send to you or that our Customers send to you through our Services. We or third parties also may send instructions to your device using JavaScript or other computer languages to store or gather the sorts of information described above and other details about your interactions with the Website or Service.

If we provide a mobile app, we or third parties may collect information similar to the data mentioned above. In that case, we also may collect unique device identifiers (such as advertising IDs) and other mobile-specific types of information. For example, depending on your device and/or browser settings, we may collect your device’s geolocation.
