Effective Date: October 20, 2017
Manage.com Group, Inc. (“Manage,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provides this privacy policy to explain how we collect, use, and share information. This privacy policy (“Policy”) covers Manage’s handling of two types of information:
We encourage consumers to learn about how information (including information we collect) can be used to market to them, and how to exercise their choices to permit or limit such marketing. We describe ways consumers can exercise that choice or opt out of marketing in Section 3 below, entitled “Consumer Control and Opt-Out Options.”
1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Manage provides mobile technology and marketing services for our Advertisers. We do this by making available the Manage Platform and other tools to Advertisers. Advertisers use the Manage Platform and other tools to deliver advertising to End Users, and we in turn provide our services to help Advertisers deliver ads that are of interest to End Users.
2. PRIVACY PRACTICES FOR THE MANAGE PLATFORM
a. INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH THE MANAGE PLATFORM
Through the Manage Platform, we may (but do not necessarily, or always) collect a variety of information about End Users (through partnerships and tools such as third-party APIs), including:
We may combine and merge the various types of information collected from the Manage Platform, and may also enhance it (or permit our Advertisers to enhance it) with information collected from third parties. We refer to all of the above information as the “Service Information.”
b. How We Use the Information Collected Through the Manage Platform
We use the Service Information to provide a variety of services to our Advertisers related to advertising and marketing, including services we may describe elsewhere on the Manage Websites. This includes the use of the Service Information for purposes such as:
c. How We Share Information We Collect Through the Manage Platform
Generally, we share the Service Information with Advertisers and Partners in order to provide the Manage Platform. For example, we share the Service Information with:
The processes we described above often involve mobile technologies, which may be associated with other information about End Users, such as End Users’ interests, demographics, or transactions. This is generally known as “interest-based advertising.” We encourage individuals who are interested in controlling or learning about this type of advertising to go to Section 3 below, entitled “Consumer Control and Opt-Out Options,” or go to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA’s) website at www.aboutads.info.
We may also share Service Information with third parties:
3. CONSUMER CONTROL AND OPT-OUT OPTIONS
In most cases, consumers have control over whether or not they would like to receive relevant ads and marketing emails from our Advertisers.
a. Opting Out of Online Interest-Based Advertising
You can opt out of many of the platforms and service providers we work with that support online interest-based advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s consumer education and opt-out page at http://www.aboutads.info (or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page at http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ if you are located in the European Union).
This type of opt-out is cookie-based, which means that if you replace or upgrade your browser, or delete your cookies, you will need to opt out again. Opting out in this way will not prevent you from receiving ads; rather, the ads you see will be less customized to you.
b. Opting Out of Advertising on Mobile Devices
You can opt out of having your mobile advertising identifiers used for certain types of interest-based mobile advertising, including those performed by Manage, by accessing the settings on your Apple or Android mobile device, as follows:
Please note that these platforms control how these settings work, so the above instructions may change. Likewise, if your device uses other platforms not described above, please check the settings for those devices.
c. Additional Choices
Advertisers may also provide ways for you to opt out from, or limit their collection of, certain information from and about you. Please refer to the privacy policies for retailers and apps to learn more about their privacy practices.
You may opt out from receiving promotional emails from us, such as emails to inform you about events and new services, by following the “unsubscribe” instructions in any promotional email you receive, or by contacting us at marketing@manage.com. Please note, however, that we may still send you non-promotional emails relating to your relationship with us.
4. PRIVACY PRACTICES FOR THE MANAGE WEBSITES
a. Information We Collect Through the Manage Websites
The Manage Websites provide information regarding Manage and our products and services. Through the Manage Websites, we collect information you voluntarily disclose to us, and we may also obtain automatically-collected information.
i. Information You Disclose to Us
When registering for an account, expressing an interest in obtaining additional information about Manage or our products and services, or otherwise contacting us through the Manage Websites, we collect information you voluntarily disclose to us, such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, credit card number, and other billing information.

ii. Automatically-Collected Information
When you visit the Manage Websites, we may use cookies and pixel tags that we associate with unique identifiers to keep track of visitor interactions and personalize your experience on the Manage Websites.
We may also use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, that gather information such as your IP address, browser type, the web page from which you came to the Manage Websites, and the times of your visit. In addition, as you browse the Manage Websites, advertising cookies may be placed on your computer so that we can “remember” your interests. Our display advertising partners may then help us retarget ads to you on other sites based on your interactions with the Manage Websites. To opt out of such interest-based mobile advertising, please see Section 3 above, entitled “Consumer Control and Opt-Out Options.” Opting out in this way will not prevent you from receiving ads; rather, the ads you see will be less customized to you.

If you are a resident of the European Union, you may obtain a copy of the information we have about you by contacting us at privacy@manage.com. Please be advised that, due to the manner in which we collect information, we will only be able to provide you with such information if we can determine that the information is identifiable to you. Under extenuating circumstances, we reserve the right to charge a fee for providing you with such information, and that fee will be based on costs and fees we incur to fulfill your request.
6. DATA SECURITY
We have administrative, technical, and physical safeguards in place in our physical facilities and in our computer systems, databases, and communications networks that are designed to protect the information from loss, misuse, or alteration.
