This Privacy Policy does not apply to our information collection activities outside of the Service or to third-party websites (unless otherwise stated below or at the time of collection). By using the Service or otherwise accessing the Site, you agree to our Terms of Service, and to our collection, use and disclosure practices, and other activities as described in this Privacy Policy.

Collection of Information

Information You Provide

The information your provide as part of your use of the Service and that we collect may include information that identifies you personally (whether alone or in combination), such as your name, address, phone number, email address, age, and gender ('Personal Information'). To properly match you with any third-party survey providers or others as part of the Service, we may ask you to provide additional information, including but not limited to your relationship status, household information and income, product preferences, shopping habits, household income, political affiliation, and job title. You may choose to voluntarily submit certain other information to us through the Service or to the third-party survey providers. We use this information to find you eligible surveys as part of the Service. Any information provided to third-party survey providers is not covered by this Privacy Policy and we encourage you to review the privacy policy and terms of service of each third-party survey provider you interact with. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose information that has been 'de-identified' for any purpose. Personal Information once de-identified is not subject to this Privacy Policy and we and our service providers may treat it as non-Personal Information and use it without obligation to you except as prohibited by applicable law. SocialLoop will retain your Personal Information and any other data collected for as long as is necessary to provide the Service, maintain business records to satisfy tax, legal and other regulatory requirements, and protect and defend against potential legal claims.

Information Collected Automatically

We and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies, now and hereafter devised, that automatically record certain usage information about you ('Usage Information'). Usage Information collected is more thoroughly described below. We use this information for a variety of purposes, including to help personalize our Service for you. Your Internet Protocol Address and other items automatically collected may be considered Personal Information. The methods that may be used on the Service to collect Usage Information include:

Cookies: A cookie is a small data file transferred to your computer (or other device) when it is used to access our Service. Cookies may be used for many purposes, including to enable certain features of our Service, to better understand how you interact with our Service and to monitor aggregate usage by visitors and online traffic routing. Cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time. See our Cookie Policy for additional information.
Web Beacons (“Tracking Pixels”): Web beacons are small graphic images, also known as 'internet tags' or 'clear gifs,' embedded in web pages and email messages.

In-App Tracking Methods: There are a variety of tracking technologies that may be included in mobile apps, and these are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings. Some use device identifier, or other identifiers such as “Ad IDs” to associate app user activity to a particular app and to track user activity across apps.

Some information about your use of the Service and certain Third Party Services (defined below) may be collected using Tracking Technologies across time and services and used by us and third parties for purposes such as to associate different devices you use, and deliver relevant ads and/or other content to you on the Service and certain Third Party Services.
