Privacy Policy

Effective as of April 13, 2023.

This Privacy Policy describes how Skypier Technologies, Inc. (“Skypier IO,” “we“, “us” or “our“) handles personal information that we collect through our website and other digital properties that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Service”), as well as through social media, our marketing activities, and other activities described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal information we collect

Information you provide to us. Personal information you may provide to us through the Service or otherwise includes:

• Contact data, such as your first and last name, professional title, organizational affiliation, email address, and phone number.
• Profile data, such as the username and password that you may set to establish an online account on the Service, and any other information that you add to your account profile.
• User-generated content, such as comments, questions, feedback, messages, images, photos, videos and other content or information that you submit to, or use with, the Services.
• Communications that we exchange with you, including when you contact us through the Service, social media, or otherwise.
• Marketing data, such as your preferences for receiving our marketing communications and details about your engagement with them.
• Other data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise described at the time of collection.

Third party sources. We may combine personal information we receive from you with personal information we obtain from other sources, such as:

• Public sources, such as government agencies, public records, social media platforms, and other publicly available sources.
• Data providers, such as information services and data licensors that provide demographic and other information.
• Marketing partners, such as joint marketing partners and event co-sponsors.
• Third party services, such as social media services, that you use to log into, or otherwise link to, your Service account. This data may include your username, profile picture and other information associated with your account on that third party service that is made available to us based on your account settings on that service.

Automatic data collection. We, our service providers, and our business partners may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with the Service, our communications and other online services, such as:

• Device data, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers (including identifiers used for advertising purposes), language settings, and general location information such as city, state or geographic area.
• Online activity data, such as pages you viewed, how long you spent on a page, the website you visited before browsing to the Service, navigation paths between pages, information about your activity on a page, access times and duration of access, and whether you have opened our emails or clicked links within them.

Cookies and similar technologies. Some of the automatic collection described above is facilitated by the following technologies:

• Cookies, which are small text files that websites store on user devices and that allow web servers to record users’ web browsing activities and remember their submissions, preferences and login status as they navigate a site. Cookies used on our sites include both “session cookies” that are deleted when a session ends, “persistent cookies” that remain longer, “first party” cookies that we place and “third party” cookies that our third party business partners and service providers place.
• Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are clear images placed in web content or HTML emails to record when a user visits a web page or views an email.
• Local storage technologies, like HTML5 and Flash, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.

These technologies are used for the following purposes:

• Technical operation. To allow the technical operation of the Service, such as by remembering your selections and preferences as you navigate the site, and whether you are logged in when you visit password protected areas of the Service.
• Functionality. To provide enhanced functionality and personalization on the Service.
• Analytics. To help us understand user activity on the Service, including which pages are most and least visited and how visitors move around the Service, as well as user interactions with our emails. For example, we use Google Analytics for this purpose. You can learn more about Google Analytics and how to prevent the use of Google Analytics relating to your use of our sites here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Data about invitees. We may offer features that help users invite their friends or contacts to use the Service, and may collect contact details about these invitees so that we can deliver their invitations. Please do not refer someone to us or share their contact details with us unless you have their permission to do so.

How we use your personal information

We may use your personal information for the following purposes or as otherwise described at the time of collection:

As part of these activities, we may create aggregated, de-identified or other anonymous data from personal information we collect.

We may use this anonymous data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze, improve and promote the Service and our business.

Linked third party platforms. If you choose to connect to the Service through your social media account or other third party platform, you may be able to use your settings in your account with that platform to limit the information we receive from it. If you revoke our ability to access information from a third party platform, that choice will not apply to information that we have already received from that third party.

Other sites and services

The Service may contain links to websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties. In addition, our content may be integrated into other online services that are not associated with us. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control any online services operated by third parties, and we are not responsible for their actions. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other online services you use.

Security

We employ a number of technical, organizational and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.
