1.  Information we collect

We collect the following types of information about you:

a. Information you provide us directly

We may ask for certain information when you register for a Service account or correspond with us (such as a username, your first and last names, birthdate, phone number, profession, and physical and e-mail address).

We also collect any messages you send us through the Service, and may collect the information you provide in User Content you post to the Service. We use this information to operate, maintain, and provide the features and functionality of the Service to you, to correspond with you, and to address any issues you raise about the Service.

If you don’t provide your personal information to us, you may not be able to access or use our Service or your experience of using our Service may not be as enjoyable.

b. Information we receive from third-party applications

We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you access the Service through a third-party connection or log-in, such as Facebook Connect, by “following,” “liking,” adding the Cyango application, linking your account to the Service, etc., that third party may pass certain information about your use of its service to Cyango. This information could include but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account (for example, your Facebook UID), an access token necessary to access that service, any information that you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that service. You should always review, and if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the Service. You may also unlink your third-party account from the Service by adjusting your settings on the third-party service. If you unlink your third-party account, we will no longer receive information collected about you in connection with that service. And if you choose to integrate with a third-party application to incorporate elements into your designs, enhance media, supercharge your workflow or share to social media, we could receive data from such apps (as well as disclose data to such apps). If you communicate with us via social media, including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Youtube or Discord and choose to share your user-generated content with us, we may receive information such as videos you’ve created, your photo, your account name and your comments about the Service.

Examples of the information we may obtain from such third parties include your company, company size, job title and seniority, industry and other profile information. We may share your email address or other information in order to obtain and combine this information with information that you provide to us or other information that we collect when you use our Service. We do this to better understand your profile and interests so that we can deliver customized offers and other personalized services to you, such as to serve relevant offers to you via email, chatbots, phone or personalized advertising.

If you are not a Cyango subscriber, we may obtain your contact details from a social media platform, such as LinkedIn, or a third-party data provider, so that we can promote our product offerings and subscriptions to you if we think they would be helpful in your role.

We also may have obtained your details from another Cyango user, for example when they have shared content with you.

We may also receive information about you and your engagement with our advertisements from our ad servers, ad networks and social media platforms. This may include the websites you visited before coming to Cyango so that we can determine advertising effectiveness and pay our referral partners.
