• Information You Provide To Us. RipeMetrics strives to provide our visitors with information relevant to their particular desires, needs and/or interests. The information we gather helps us better serve our purpose. We may ask you to provide us with demographic information, information regarding your interests or other PII. Providing us with PII about yourself is voluntary, and you can always refrain from providing certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in some of the Site’s features. Please see our Cookies Policy for more information. RipeMetrics actively and passively gathers, analyzes and/or stores a range of PII and other information.
• Registration Information. We collect PII from you when you register on our Site to use or receive our services or offers, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter or respond to a survey. When ordering or registering on our Site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your: name, email address, mailing address, phone number, or credit card information.
• Demographic Information. We also collect demographic information from you when you register, when you take our surveys, and throughout your use of the RipeMetrics Platform. This information on its own cannot be used to specifically identify you, but we may use it to learn more about our users and their habits and preferences. Demographic information may include your age, gender, location, how you heard about RipeMetrics, spending habits, and other preferences or habits.
• Communications. If you contact us directly, we may collect information from you that helps us provide a satisfying experience, and answer any questions you have while using RipeMetrics. For example, when you communicate with a member of our Customer Success team, we may ask you for your name, email address, phone number, or proof of charge to identify your account, confirm your identity, or otherwise assist with your issue. If you send us an email, we will collect the contents of that email, and any other information you choose to provide. If you communicate with us via live chat, that correspondence will be archived. If you communicate with us via social media, we collect that communication, and associate that information with your user account. Customer Success communications over the phone may be recorded for quality control purposes, and may be summarized within our customer support systems.
• Payment Information. Credit card and payment information may be collected in connection with any transaction facilitated by RipeMetrics. Payments may be made directly to RipeMetrics. In all cases, while we may retain a limited amount of payment information for identification and convenience – to keep your financial data secure – we do not store full payment or financial information on our servers. Unless otherwise noted, payment information flows through a third-party vendor who processes the payments for retailers and RipeMetrics.
