Protection of Personal Information
The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to protect and limit access to your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially-acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We may directly or through our third-party service providers collect information through “cookies” or other tracking technologies (e.g., web beacons, device identifiers, and pixels). Cookies are small strings of text sent by our Site to your browser and then stored by your browser on your device’s hard drive. Cookies help us understand how you use our Site and other linked websites so that we can personalize and improve your experience on our Site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may change your browser settings so it won’t accept cookies.
The Site does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals sent by Internet browsers.
Third-Party Information Collection
Some content or applications on the Site may be provided by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, analytics companies, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Site. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different sites and other online services. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions, you should contact the responsible provider directly.
This Site uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, which are web analytics services provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of the Site, such as your IP address or other identifiers, browser information, and browsing information. This information is transmitted to Google and used for the purpose of evaluating use of the Site, compiling reports on Site activity, and providing other services relating to Site activity. Google Tag Manager is a system to manage JavaScript and HTML tags used for tracking and analytics on websites. For more information about how Google collects and uses information, visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, or any other URL Google may provide from time to time. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all sites visit: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
The Site also uses WalkMe, a third-party training tool.
WalkMe allows users to gain insights about behavior around WalkMe content and on the website itself. To provide this insight, WalkMe collects information such as which Walk-Thrus are completed and which WalkMe widgets are opened.
By default, WalkMe does not collect personally identifiable information (PII) other than IP addresses in logs for security purposes, end users’ approximate geolocation (country and city in which they are located) and masked IP addresses for the ongoing operation of the WalkMe system. WalkMe assigns collected metadata to anonymous random GUID.
The user identifier, which can also contain PII, is collected and sent according to the end-user identification settings configured for the account. When the end-user ID provider configured in settings is not available (for instance, if the user is not logged in), the WalkMe anonymous generated ID is sent.
Additionally, WalkMe collects and transfers environment properties such as browser and OS, page URL and title. WalkMe’s privacy policy can be found here: https://www.walkme.com/privacy-policy/.
