  • Technical Information. We automatically collect technical information such as the type and version of your device and its operating system, the type of browser, screen resolution, device browser and keyboard language, and device identifiers, such as IP address or Ad ID.

  • Location Data. We automatically collect location which may be imprecise (such as location derived from an IP address or data that indicates a city or postal code level) or, with your consent, precise (such as latitude/longitude data).

Please note we collect information automatically by using certain tracking technologies such as:

  • Cookies, which are small data files stored on your device that act as a unique tag to identify your browser. We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate our website and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies help with personalizing your experience, remembering your preferences, and supporting security features. Additionally, persistent cookies allow us to bring you advertising. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time, and generally may be controlled through your browser settings. Cookies are further detailed under our Cookie Policy.

  • Log Files, which are files that record events that occur in connection with your use of the Services.

  • Pixels (also known as web beacons), which is code embedded in a website, video, email, or advertisement that sends information about your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). When you access a website, video, email, or advertisement that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us or a separate entity to drop or read cookies on your browser. Pixels are used in combination with cookies to track activity by a particular browser on a particular device. We may incorporate pixels that allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising, and provide you with additional functionality.

  • App Technologies, which are technologies included in our app that are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings. For example, our App may include third party SDKs, which is code that send information about your use to a server. These SDKs allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Services, and provide you with additional functionality.

  • Location-Identifying Technologies, which are technologies used to collect your location. For example, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth may be used to collect precise location data when you consent to precise location tracking through our app. Location data may be used for purposes such as verifying your device’s location and delivering or restricting relevant content and advertising based on that location.

For further information on how we use tracking technologies for analytics and advertising, and your rights and choices regarding them, see the “Analytics and Advertising” and “Your Rights and Choices” sections below.

Please note that we or our third-party service providers will collect such Technical and Behavioral Information by using certain tracking technologies, such as cookies, as further detailed below. 

Please note that Technical and Behavioral Information is collected and processed both when you use our Site and when you interact with the Smart Gallery.
