As discussed further below, we may collect and store this information in a way that it is linked to you personally, unless you have chosen to opt out.

When you use any of our websites we may collect and analyze information such as your IP address, browser types, browser language, operating system, the state or country

Information from Other Sources:
DeckWise® may receive information about you from third parties, such as commerce partners, marketers, social network services, and other parties that we may use to
supplement the information that we collect directly from you. If you connect to a third party network (such as a social network), platform, or service through the products,
you are authorizing us to collect, store, and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy any and all information that you agreed the network or other third party platform could
provide to DeckWise® based on your settings on the third party network or platform. Your agreement takes place when you connect with the third party network, platform, or service

We may collect data that is already in anonymized or de-identified form or we may manually anonymize and/or de-identify information collected by the products or via other

and we may disclose it to others without limitation for any purpose.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We do not use cookies.
4. Online Advertising and Analytics
Online Analytics
We may use third-party web analytics services on our products, such as those of Google Analytics. These service providers use the sort of technology described in the
Automatically-Collected Information section above to help us analyze how users use the products, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The
information collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the products.
We also use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to online marketing, as described in the following section.
Online Advertising
We do not serve third party advertisements to you while using www.DeckWise.com. However, we do work with website analytics and advertising partners, including Google, Adwords,
Remarketing, Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook, to deliver DeckWise® advertisements on third party publisher websites - these partners may set cookies on your computer's web browser.
These cookies allow our partners to recognize your computer so that the ad server can show you DeckWise® advertisements elsewhere on the Internet, and so that our analytics software
can measure your engagement and interactions while using www.DeckWise.com. In this way, ad servers may compile anonymous, de-identified information about where you, or others who are
using your computer, saw our advertisements, whether or not you interacted with our advertisements and actions performed on subsequent visits to www.DeckWise.com. This information allows
an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you, and it allows DeckWise® to optimize the performance of our advertising campaigns and the
usability of our website. In other words, we use analytics data in concert with data about our online ads that have been shown using the Google Display Network, or other online advertising
networks. By doing so, we can understand how anonymous users interacted with our website after seeing our ads.
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and products that they do not want certain information
about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website
for third party purposes, and that is why we provide the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out links below. However, we do not recognize or respond to
browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding
to DNT.
For more information about these advertising and analytics services and how to opt out, please see the “Your Choices” section below.
5. Uses of Information

partnerships we may at times share your name and email address in order for DeckWise® to communicate with you about DeckWise® related promotions, news, and updates via tools provided

operations or others who may be harmed or may suffer loss or damage; (d) protect our rights, prevent fraud and/or comply with judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on
DeckWise®.

so to comply with a legal obligation, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We can also disclose your information in order to apply or enforce our terms and
conditions or to respond to any claims, to protect our rights or the rights of a third party, to protect the safety of any person or to prevent or prevent any illegal activity
(including for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction).
