Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and disclosed by ChannelApe, Inc. (“ChannelApe”) and applies to information collected when you use or access ChannelApe’s website at channelape.com (the “Website”) or when your information is submitted to ChannelApe by our customers via the services we offer to them (our “Product”) (collectively, the “ChannelApe Service”). We respect the privacy rights of users and recognize the importance of protecting information collected about you.

Please read the following carefully to understand how we will collect, use, and maintain your personal information. It also describes your choices regarding the use, access, and correction of your personal information.

Changing our Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the end of this Privacy Policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email notification). If there are material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you more directly by email or means of a notice on the home page prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy whenever you access the ChannelApe Service to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

If you disagree with any changes to this Privacy Policy and do not wish your information to be subject to the revised Privacy Policy, you will need to deactivate your account with us and stop using the ChannelApe Service. Your use of the ChannelApe Service after the posting of such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

Information Collected

We may collect certain user information (including personal information and/or sensitive personal information) in the following ways:

Information You Provide To Us. We collect information you provide directly to us including when you visit our Website and/or use the ChannelApe Product.

  • For example, we collect information when you enter into an agreement with ChannelApe as a customer, create or modify your profile and account, access and use the ChannelApe Service (including but not limited to when you import, upload, download, or share information), participate in any interactive features of the ChannelApe Service, submit a contact form, participate in a survey, apply for a job, request customer support, or communicate with us via third-party social media sites. You may, however, visit our website anonymously.
  • The types of information we may collect directly from you include your name, email address, postal address, phone number, information about your Product account preferences, employer’s name, job title, transactional information (including services purchased or subscribed to and billing address), your newsletter subscriptions, as well as any contact or other information you choose to provide. Please be aware that the information you choose to provide in your ChannelApe Product account profile may reveal or identify information that is not expressly stated (for example, information you provide may reveal your gender).

Information We Collect Automatically When You Use the ChannelApe Service. When you access or use the ChannelApe Service, we may automatically collect information about you, including:

  • Usage, Log, and Device Information: We collect information from your use of the ChannelApe Service such as system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your visit, IP address, the referral URL and other similar log data. We monitor user activity in connection with the ChannelApe Service and may collect information about the features you use, the content you upload, download, share, or access while using the ChannelApe Service and any actions taken in connection with the access and use of the ChannelApe Service.
  • Information Collected by Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies. We use cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

Use of Information

We may use the information collected through the ChannelApe Service for the limited purpose of providing the ChannelApe Service and related functionality and services for which ChannelApe has been engaged. The information may be used for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the ChannelApe Service;
  • Enable you to access and use the ChannelApe Service;
  • Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages;
  • Provide and deliver the services and features you request, process, and complete transactions, and send you related information, including purchase confirmations and invoices;
  • Respond to your comments, questions, and requests, and provide customer service and support;
  • Communicate with you about services, features, surveys, newsletters, offers, promotions, events, and provide other news or information about ChannelApe and our select partners;
  • Process and deliver survey entries and rewards;
  • Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with the ChannelApe Service and for marketing or advertising purposes;
  • Investigate and prevent unauthorized access to the ChannelApe Service, and other illegal activities;
  • Personalize and improve the ChannelApe Service, and provide content and/or features that match your interests and preferences or otherwise customize your experience on the ChannelApe Service; and

Additionally we may disclose personal data in special cases when we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or to respond to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; or (c) act to protect the interests of our users or others.

Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a “do not track” (“DNT”) option. Because no common industry or legal standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators, we do not respond to DNT signals. We will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We will not share personal information about you or any Content with any third parties without your consent except as described in this Privacy Policy, or as defined in an agreement with us, in connection with the ChannelApe Service. For example, we may share personal information about you:

  • To Vendors, Consultants, and Other Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who are working on our behalf, to provide certain features of the ChannelApe Service or to analyze and improve the ChannelApe Service in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These service providers are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide services to ChannelApe.
  • In Compliance with Laws: We may disclose your information to a third party: (a) if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; (b) to enforce our agreements and policies; (c) to protect the security or integrity of the ChannelApe Service; (d) to protect ChannelApe, our customers, or the public from harm or illegal activities; (e) to respond to an emergency which we believe in the good faith requires us to disclose information to assist in preventing the death or serious bodily injury of any person; or (f) as otherwise directed by you.
  • For Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. You may be notified thereafter via email of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
  • As Aggregated and/or Anonymized Data: We may also share aggregated and/or anonymized information with third parties that does not directly identify you.

General Data Protection Regulation

ChannelApe complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (”GDPR”) with respect to personal data it receives in connection with the ChannelApe Service.

In some situations, ChannelApe may act as a data controller under GDPR. For example, if you apply for a job on the Website, we may be a controller with respect to the personal data you share with us. In these situations, we will only collect and process personal data about you where we have a lawful basis. Lawful basis includes consent (where you have given consent), contract (where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you), and “legitimate interests.” Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw or decline your consent at any time and where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object. If you have any questions about the lawful bases upon which we collect and use your personal data, please contact us at privacy@channelape.com.

In other situations, ChannelApe may act as a data processor under GDPR. For example, if a company contracts with ChannelApe for access to the ChannelApe Service, and in the course of that relationship shares personal data with ChannelApe, such customer may be the controller with respect to such data, and ChannelApe may be a processor. In such situations, ChannelApe will enter into a data processing agreement with such company governing both parties’ compliance with GDPR.

You may access your account on the ChannelApe Service only through the use of your email address and password. To protect the confidentiality of personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. Please advise us immediately if you believe your password has been compromised in any way. In addition, always log out and close your browser when you finish your session. Please note that we will never ask you to disclose your password to us.

If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at privacy@channelape.com.
