1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE GATHER ABOUT YOU?

The information gathered when you interact with the Site falls into two categories:

1. Personal information, which includes personal information you supply when you subscribe, complete a survey, provide comments, enter a contest or provide other information including your email address.
2. Non-personal information collected through technology, which includes tracking information collected by us as well as third parties.

1) Voluntary Submission

SgT Limited does not collect personally identifying information about any individual Site user except when knowingly provided by such individual. For example, we may ask you for information, such as your name and contact information such as your e-mail address when you register to become a member of the Site or when you apply for a job offer. You always have the option not to provide the information we request. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you can still visit most of the Site, but you may be unable to access certain options and services. When you register or become a member of the Site or provide information to SgT Limited in any other manner, you agree to provide only true, accurate, current and complete information.

2) Non-Personal Information Collected Using Technology

We may collect non-personal information about the computer, mobile device or other device you use to access the Site, such as IP address, geolocation information, unique device identifiers, browser type, browser language and other transactional information.

We use “cookies,” Web beacons, HTML5 local storage and other similar technologies. These technologies allow us to manage access to and use of the Site, recognize you and provide personalization, and help us understand how people use the Site.
The main deposited cookies are detailed in the table below:

As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include Internet protocol (IP) addresses (the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the Internet), browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of the Site, including a history of the pages you view.

We have hired third parties to provide us information, reports and analysis about the usage, browsing patterns of our users. They may independently record the type of device and operating system you are using, general location information, as well as events that occur within our apps, such as how often you use our apps.

Some of our mobile applications can deliver content based on your current location if you choose to enable that feature of the app. If you enable the location-based feature, your current location will be stored locally on your device, which will then be used by the app. If you elect to have a location-based search saved to your history, we will store that information on our servers. If you do not enable the location-based service, or if an app does not have that feature, the app will not transmit to us, and we will not collect or store, location information.

The ads in our apps are not targeted to you based on your current GPS location, but they may be targeted to you based on your ZIP code or device’s IP address.
We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you access our websites or service through a third-party connection or log-in, for example, through Facebook Connect, by “following,” “liking,” linking your account to the Site service, etc., that third party may pass certain information about your use of its service to the Site. This information could include, but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account (for example, your Facebook UID), an access token necessary to access that service, any information that you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that service, including your public profile picture, news feed, posts on your wall (including your friends’ posts on your wall), friends list, etc. You should always review, and if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the Site service. You may also unlink your third party account from the Site by adjusting your settings on the third party service. If you unlink your third party account, we will remove the information collected about you in connection with that service.
