2. What Data Does IE Collect?
2.1 - General Description
We collect personal information and non-personal user data from the Service, as further described in this Privacy Notice. The specific data IE collects, stores and processes depends on which of our products and service you use and how you use them.
Personal information means information that identifies, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a particular consumer, and includes identifiers such as a name, online identifiers such as device ID, and email address.
2.2 - Data You Voluntarily Provide through the Service
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use our Service. For example, we collect information in the following ways:
If you sign up for our mailing list or newsletter, create an account through an online shop, or participate in a sweepstakes, we collect your first and last name, email address, and zip code. We may also collect other information that you provide such as your mailing address (city, state, country), phone number, birthday and age, (so that we can ensure you are the appropriate legal age to receive communications from us) and gender and to allow us to better communicate with you.
If you want more information about planning an event or party with IE, we collect your contact information and information about the event, such as the preferred date and time.
If you contact us with a request for information about IE locations, products, websites or services we offer, we collect information such as your first and last name and email address.
If you are browsing our website, we collect information around your interaction with our websites, applications, or advertisements.
2.3 - Information Automatically Collected Through the Service
We may automatically collect information about you when you use the Service. For example, we will automatically collect information, which may not be personal information, such as your browser type and version, computer and connection information and standard web log information. If you access the Service through a mobile device, we may also be able to identify the location of your mobile device. You may choose not to share your location details with us by adjusting your mobile device’s location services settings. For instructions on changing the relevant settings, please contact your service provider or device manufacturer.
2.4 - Information You Post on the Service
If you post information on public areas of the Service, that information will be collected and used by IE, other users of the Service, and the public generally. We strongly recommend that you do not post any information through the Service that allows strangers to identify or locate you or that you otherwise do not want to share with the public.
3. What Data Do Third Parties Collect through the Service?
3.1 - Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, in order to better understand your use of our Site and how we can improve it. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit a website, what pages you visit when you do so, and what other websites you used prior to coming to such website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit a website, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with your personal information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit a website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of the Site, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected on the Site to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. To more fully understand how Google may use the data it collects on the Site, please review “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services” (located here or any successor URL).
IE uses Google Analytics, a web analytics tool provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). We use Google Analytics on the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies (text files stored on your computer) to analyze your use of the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site is usually transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, Google uses an IP anonymization tool on the Site, with which your IP address is shortened by Google and anonymously transmitted on a global basis. This means that whether your IP address is collected from the United States, one of the member states of the European Union, the European Economic Area or Switzerland (collectively, the “EEA”), or anywhere else in the world, it will be transmitted using Google’s IP anonymization tool and will not disclose any personal data. Google uses the non-personal data information collected to evaluate your use of the Site on our behalf, to create reports for us about activity on the Site and to provide us with other services related to the Service. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of the Google Analytics service will not be merged with other Google data.
3.2 - Information Collected by Third Parties through Third Party Links and Content
The Service may include links to other websites and other content from third party businesses. These third-party businesses may collect information about you. IE does not have access to or control over these third parties or the cookies, web beacons or other technology that these third parties may use. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties or the content on any third-party website. You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of the different websites you visit and of the advertisers whose ads you may choose to click while on our Service (also please see our Cookie Policy for additional information about Online Advertising).
4. Cookies
We and our partners may use various technologies to collect and store information when you use our Services, and this may include using cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as pixels and web beacons. They also allow us to collect information such as the IP address, browser, email client type and other similar details. We use this information to measure the performance of our email campaigns, and to provide analytics information and enhance the effectiveness of our Services. Reports are also available to us when we send emails to you, so we may collect and review that information. We, and/or our third-party service providers, may use the information collected from cookies or similar files on your computer for security purposes (such as authentication), to facilitate site navigation and to personalize your experience. This data helps us and our third-party service providers improve our respective products and services.
