Overview
Axioms Technology operating as Tangent.ai (referred from now on as TangentAI) has developed this Privacy Policy to help you understand how we will collect, use, and share your information when you visit or interact with our site, www.TangentAI.com, as as when you interact with brands, organizations, institutions, or websites that are using the TangentAI technology, services, analytics, and any other linked pages, features, content, or any other services we offer (collectively, the "Services").
Types of Information Collected
The term "personal information" as used in this Privacy Policy refers to information that specifically identifies an individual (such as an individual's first and last name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other account number), and information about that individual or such individual's activities or preferences when such information is directly linked to information that specifically identifies the individual. The Services collect personal information when you interact with it: for example when you collect rewards, subscribe for newsletters; register for membership services; respond to polls or surveys; purchase merchandise; register for sweepstakes, contests and other promotional opportunities; or seek help from our customer service departments. We also collect personal information when you purchase products or services offline. Sometimes, you will be provided with a short notice that reminds you to refer to this Privacy Policy and other relevant information from us. We will also obtain personal information from reputable third parties.
Personal information does not include "aggregate" information, which is data we collect about the use of the sites or categories of site users, from which any personal information has been removed. We collect aggregate data for a number of purposes, including improving the Service, to diagnose technical issues, to help identify user needs so that we can better consider new products and services, and to tailor existing products and services to better serve our users. This Privacy Policy in no way limits or restricts our collection, use or disclosure of aggregate information.
How We Collect and Use information
We collect the following types of information:
- Information you provide. When you willingly provide personal information, such as your email address or phone number, in exchange for a brand offer or reward, we ask you for personal information. We combine the information you submit under your account with information from other TangentAI services or third parties in order to provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services. For certain services, we give you the opportunity to opt out of combining such information.
- Cookies. When you visit a TangentAI-enabled webpage, we send one or more cookies to your computer or other device. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service, including for storing user preferences, improving products and ad selection, and tracking user trends, such as how people use our services.
- Log information. When you access TangentAI services via a browser, application or other client our servers automatically record certain information. These server logs include information such as your web request, your interaction with a service, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that uniquely identify your browser.
- Affiliated TangentAI Services on other sites. We offer our services on or through other websites. Personal information that you provide to those sites will be sent to TangentAI in order to deliver the service. We process such information under this Privacy Policy.
- Third Party Applications. TangentAI will make available third party applications, such as mobile applications, gadgets or extensions, through its services. The information collected by TangentAI when you enable a third party application is processed under this Privacy Policy. Information collected by the third party application provider is governed by their privacy policies.
- Location data. TangentAI will offer location-enabled services, sometimes part of another provider, to its brands. If you use those services, TangentAI will receive information about your actual location (such as GPS signals sent by a mobile device) or information that can be used to approximate a location (such as a cell ID).
- Unique application number. Certain services include a unique application number that is not associated with your account or you. This number and information about your installation (e.g., operating system type, version number) will be sent to TangentAI when you install or uninstall that service or when that service periodically contacts our servers (for example, to request automatic updates to the software).
In addition to the above, we will use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, protect, and improve our services (including advertising services) and develop new services.
- We also engage in general profiling based on the personal information we process on behalf of the brands who use our services and use automated decision-making or profiling to help tailor the offers that you receive from them. However, this processing does not result in legal or other significant effects.
How We Share Information
Like many businesses, we sometimes hire third party vendors to perform certain business-related functions on our behalf, such as hosting specific portions of the Service, maintaining databases, delivering content, sending emails, administering contents, mailing information, processing payments, or otherwise operating the Services. When we employ a third party vendor to perform these functions, that third party vendor will only be provided with the particular personal information or aggregate information it needs to perform its function, and is required to protect such Personal Data and/or Aggregate Data.
In addition, we enter into relationships with brands, advertising partners, networks who provide services to you, sell items or provide promotions to you. TangentAI can provide personal information and/or aggregate information to those partners for remarketing purposes and for monitoring performance metrics.
We share information that has been anonymized or aggregates without limitation.
