However, the data collected may include personally identifiable information or personal data as such terms are defined under applicable laws (“PII” or “Personal Information”) as a necessary part of using the Software & Services. For example, search terms that you enter when using search services as part of the Software & Services may include PII. In addition, IP address and other online identifiers such as cookies and similar web technologies are automatically transferred to us when you visit a publisher website that uses the Software & Services.

How Company Uses Your Information

Use of PII
As stated above, we collect the following information from you:

IP Address;
Install-ID (for installations of specific software such as Browser Extensions);
Cookie Id;
URL Referrer;
Search terms; and
Support Related Information

We consider this information to be PII, meaning that without this information, we would not reasonably be able to identify you. Company processes this information on the basis that it is a data controller of the PII. This is how we use this information:

1. To provide you with the search services and functionality, including providing you with the search results of our web search partners in response to your online search queries. We delete this data once our fraud and lifetime value assessment has been completed (as discussed in the next paragraphs). For this purpose, Company processes this information on the basis of a legitimate interest of an individual’s right to freedom of expression, including the freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas.

We may use third party data analysis service providers to collect data and to provide information to us on the performance of our Service. These companies may use information about your use of the Service and other websites and mobile applications to compare information about the performance of our Service. These companies may also use non-cookie technologies to recognize your computer, browser or mobile device and/or to collect and record information about your browsing activity, including your activities on or off the Service and between multiple platforms such as your computer and your mobile device. Please keep in mind that your browser settings may not permit you to block the use of these non-cookie technologies, and those browser settings that block cookies may have no effect on such techniques.

2. To detect and prevent fraud on its Software & Services. Company needs the combination of IP Address, Cookie ID, Install-ID, URL and Search Term to conduct fraud detection on potentially fraudulent and illegal uses of the Software & Services. We need this information for 3 months to conduct this fraud analysis. Following this 3 month period, we will delete all data except for the Cookie ID and Install-ID which we use for business performance which we discuss in the next paragraph.

For this purpose, Company processes this information on the basis of a legitimate interest for preventing fraud.

In performing fraud detection and prevention, we use the services of third parties who will receive and access your PII.

3. To assess the lifetime value of a user.

In our experience, business performance in search is measured over a 12 month period, including the lifetime value of users that use our Software & Services. For that purpose, Company retains the Cookie ID and Install-ID and the number of search queries performed by each ID for a period of 12 months from the initial collection. For this purpose, Company processes this information on the basis of a legitimate interest for its business operations and internal due diligence.

4. Customer Support.

We also use Support Related Information you provide to us to provide you with support and handle your complaints and feedback. This information will not be connected with any other information collected from you on or through the Software & Services, including, any individual ID generated or collected by us, unless you ask us to. For this purpose, Company processes this information on the basis of a legitimate interest and performance of a contract with you.

We will retain this information for the time it takes to provide you with the support you requested and to handle your complaints. We may keep your information for longer periods in case of disputes and other legitimate reasons described in the next section “Disputes and Enforcement; Applicable law, regulations or Enforceable Governmental Request”.

5. Disputes and Enforcement; Applicable law, regulations or Enforceable Governmental Request.

We use your PII and Support Related Information to take action in case of a dispute involving you in connection with the Software & Services and to enforce the terms and conditions applicable to the Software & Services. We also use your PII to comply with legal and regulatory requirements (e.g., the disclosure of information to law enforcement or tax authorities), and to protect against suspicious or other illegal activities.

For this purpose, we may share your information with law enforcement or other competent authorities and any third party, as may be required (e.g. to respond to claims or satisfy any legal process, subpoena, or governmental request; or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Company’s users, its partners, or the general public). We will also share this information with our professional advisors in the scope of this purpose.

We will retain your Personal Information and Influencer Content as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was originally collected, and for a commercially reasonable time thereafter for backup, archival, fraud prevention or detection, or audit purposes, or as otherwise required by law. We may use remote backup features that will send information from your device and/or browser to be stored on servers operated by or on behalf of Company and its affiliates. Except to the extent specifically prohibited by applicable law, Company has no responsibility for any data transmitted to and from your device and/or computer and Company recommends that you make regular back-ups of all information and data on your device and/or computer.

Use of Non-PII

We retain this information for as long as necessary to fulfill our business and/or operational purposes or comply with a legal request. We may also choose to anonymize parts of your PII so that it can no longer be identifiable or attributable to any person if we decide to keep it for longer periods of time than the retention periods set forth above.

Additional Sharing of PII with Third Parties.

We may also share your information in the following events:

We may also share your information with our subsidiaries, affiliated and parent companies pursuant to the legitimate interest for the provision of the Software & Services to you but their use of such information must comply with this Privacy Policy.

Any information or content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to the Service, such as Influencer Content (as defined in the Terms and Conditions), becomes available to the public, except as limited by any privacy settings made available on the Service. Subject to your privacy settings, any of the Influencer Content that you voluntarily make public may be searchable by others. If you remove information or content that you posted to the Service, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Service, or if other users have copied or saved that information or content. Please note that such removal does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted (for example, your content or information may remain visible because it was copied and posted or reposted by a third party).

With respect to sharing of your PII, we take appropriate measures to minimize the PII that we disclose to the third parties, and we require these third parties (i) to keep the data secured, and (ii) to use the data solely in compliance with this Privacy Policy. In any case other than the above, we will not share your PII with third parties without your prior consent.

This may be an adequacy decision of the European Commission confirming an adequate level of data protection in the respective non-EEA country or an agreement on the basis of the EU Model Clauses (a set of clauses issued by the European Commission) or EU – US Privacy Shield certification. We will provide further information on the means to ensure an adequate level of data protection on request.
