HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION
We collect the following types of information described above in three ways: (1) when you provide it to us; (2) when we collect it automatically; and (3) and when we receive it from other sources.
Information you provide to us.
You provide information to us when you register for an account, use the Service, communicate with us, or otherwise submit or publish your information. For example, when requesting our WE Pickups Service, you may provide contact information, account login or verification information, and financial information. You might also provide information when communicating with us (for example, regarding the Service or when seeking technical support).
Automatically collected information.
We automatically collect internet or other network or device activity information about your interactions with the Service, emails, and advertisements, even if you are not logged into an account with us. This information may be collected as follows:
- Cookies and similar technologies are pieces of information stored directly on the device you are using.
- Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent on the Service, pages visited, and language preferences.
- We and our service providers use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, and to personalize your online experience and our marketing and advertising efforts. In addition, we use cookies to gather statistical information about usage of the Service in order to improve their design and functionality, understand how they are used, and assist us with resolving questions about them.
- You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers will allow you to: (i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set your browser to automatically reject any cookies. If you set your browser to reject cookies, parts of the Service may not work for you.
- For more information on cookies, we recommend browsing a well-known source such as Wikipedia.
- Pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or other similar technologies.
- These may be used in connection with some portions of the Service, emails, or advertisements (for example, to track the actions of our users, compile statistics about usage and response rates, determine whether you have opened and acted upon our emails, and assess the effectiveness of our marketing).
Analytics and advertising.
To better understand how users engage with the Service, we use third-party analytics services that use cookies and similar technologies.
We may also use third-party advertising services to provide advertisements for our services. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites, and they may be members of industry self-regulatory groups such as the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), and European Digital Advertising Alliance (eDAA). The websites for these groups provide more information on interest-based online advertising and how to opt out of receiving interest-based online ads from participating companies.
Do Not Track requests.
Some browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals to the websites you visit. Because there is not common agreement about how to interpret DNT signals, we do not take action in response to them.
Location information.
We may collect information about the location of your device, including precise geolocation information from your device and imprecise location from, for example, your IP address.
You may be able to adjust the location settings of your device to control whether it communicates location information. See your device settings for more information.
