This online Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes the types of personal data we may collect on this website and other websites or apps that link to this Policy (collectively, the “Services”), how we may utilize the data, and with whom we may share it. We also describe the measures we take to protect the security of the data, your rights and how you may contact us about our privacy practices.

If you are a California consumer or business, please see the “California Consumer Privacy Statement” for more information about your privacy rights.

How We Obtain Information About You

We may collect personal data that you choose to share with us—including, but not limited to, your first and last name, physical address, email address, telephone number, or login credentials when you:

Fill out a form
Sign up to receive direct marketing communications
Register online through the Services, through the Preference Center, or sign up for an account through the Services
Sign up to receive emails
Attend an event that we, or one of our affiliates, have organized
Communicate with us (for example, through the Contact Us form on the Services, on a social-media platform, by sending us an email)

Liberty Star Tech may collect personally identifiable information from our users during the initial signup process, as well as during surveys or preference requests. We may use this information to contact you with offers, newsletters, and special promotions in which you have expressed interest, or we believe may be of interest to you. Additional information, such as preferred location, events, or group bookings, enable the administration of events you sign up for and we may send relevant offers based on your interests.

You can provide us with demographic information (such as zip/postal code). We encourage you to submit this information so we can provide you with a more personalized experience. If you elect not to provide such demographic information, you may still participate in our program offerings.

Information We Obtain

Information You Provide
We may obtain personal data that you provide directly to us. For example:

If you fill out a form, you may provide your contact information, such as your name, contact details, and any other information you provide on the form, such as the reason for your inquiry or your product preferences.
If you sign up to receive electronic marketing communications from us, you may provide your contact information, such your name and email address, and your technology preferences.
If you sign up to a feature on our Services, such as access to certain content, you may provide your name, contact information, and any other information necessary to access the feature.
Each form may vary in the information required and collected. In most cases, an asterisk (*) indicates the required information on a form. You may choose to provide additional information within fields that are not required (please do not provide any sensitive information with submitting a form or other communication to us).
If you participate in web-based contests, surveys, or research projects, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys, contests, or research projects is completely voluntary, so you have a choice whether to disclose this information. Liberty Star Tech may use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys, contests, or research projects. We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide through a contest, survey, or research project with any third party except our service providers or supplier partners/sponsors, unless we give you prior notice.
If you apply for a career opportunity, you may provide information, such as employment history and other information included in your resume or through the application process.

Other information you choose to provide, such as through emails or other communications, social media pages, registrations, and sign-up forms.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you use our Services, we may obtain certain information by automated means, such as cookies, pixel tags, server or device logs and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “pixel tag” (also known as a “web beacon”), which is a type of technology that is often used in combination with cookies, is placed on a website to track certain activity, such as views of a website. We may use these automated technologies on the Services to collect information about your device, browsing actions, and usage patterns. We obtain information about your device and web browser in this manner such as your operating-system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located, the address of the web page that referred you to our Services, the IP address of the device you use to connect to the internet, and information about your interaction with the sites, such as which pages you visit and average time spent on our website.

LinkedIn Members
If you are a LinkedIn member and you visit our Services from LinkedIn, our Services may use tracking pixels—transparent graphic images placed on web pages—which, in combination with cookies, collect information contained within your LinkedIn profile, as well as your access of and interaction with the web pages that contain the pixels. Liberty Star Tech may work with LinkedIn to provide Sponsored Updates and advertisements to your LinkedIn news feed. If you complete a form on our Services, you may receive Sponsored messages via your LinkedIn email account, based on your visits to the Services and your perceived interests. To learn how to opt out of Sponsored messages, navigate to Settings and Privacy in your LinkedIn account, click on the Data privacy tab, and follow guidance provided to turn on/off Sponsored messages.

Cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site.

Certain pages on our Services contain web beacons (also known as internet tags, pixel tags, and clear GIFs). Web beacons allow third parties to obtain information, such as IP address, general location information, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, timestamps, browser type, and the information in cookies set by the third party.

Snippets and Custom Objects

Links to Other Digital Properties
The Services and our communications may contain links to other sites, digital properties, or features (such as apps, tools, widgets, or plug-ins) that are not owned, operated, or controlled by Liberty Star Tech. We provide links to third party websites as a convenience to the user. These links are not an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites.
