Our Services are designed for businesses and their representatives. We do not target consumers – individuals who seek to use our products and services for their personal or household purposes. Accordingly, we treat all personal information we collect in connection with the Services as pertaining to individuals in their business capacity and not their individual capacity.
We provide our Services to users on behalf of our business customers, as a service provider. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any websites, applications or other online services that do not link to this policy, including any applications provided by our business customers that users access using the Services (“Corporate Applications”). To the extent we share personal information with our business customers, this Privacy Policy does not apply to our business customers’ subsequent use of that information.

If you interact with us on a social media platform using your social media account (e.g., Facebook or Twitter), we receive personal information about you such as your name, email address, and gender. Any personal information that we collect from your social media account depends on your social media account's privacy settings.
