Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 26, 2019

We at Brim Data, Inc. (“Brim Data” or “Company”) know you care about how your Personal Data is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is a binding contract between you and Brim Data. By using or accessing our website(s), products, services and applications (“Services”) in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the following ways.

If you are a resident of the European Union (“EU”), Switzerland, United Kingdom, Lichtenstein, Norway, or Iceland, you may have additional rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) with respect to your Personal Data, as outlined herein. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or whether any of the following applies to you, please contact us at info@brimdata.io. Remember that your use of Brim Data Services is at all times subject to the agreement you have entered into (or will enter into) with Brim Data. In the event of a conflict between the terms or conditions of such agreement and this Privacy Policy, the terms of such agreement shall control.

What does this Privacy Policy cover?

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information, including “Personal Data” as it is defined in the GDPR (“Personal Data”) that we gather when you are accessing or using our Services, but not to the practices of companies we don’t own or control, or people that we don’t manage. For this Privacy Policy, we also use the term “processing” as it is defined in the GDPR, which generally covers actions that can be performed in connection with data such as collection, use, storage and disclosure. In certain circumstances, we may be the controller of your Personal Data processed in connection with the Services. If we are the processor of your Personal Data (i.e., not the controller), please contact the controller party in the first instance to address your rights with respect to such data.

We gather various types of Personal Data from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Data internally in connection with our Services, including to personalize, provide, and improve our Services, to allow you to set up a user account and profile (if applicable), to contact you and allow other users with whom you have voluntarily interacted on discussion boards or chat areas on the Services to contact you, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to analyze how you use the Services. In certain cases, we may also share some Personal Data with third parties, but only as described below.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you are under 16, please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 16 may have provided us personal information, please contact us at info@brimdata.io.

Will Brim Data ever change this Privacy Policy?

We’re constantly trying to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well, but we will alert you to changes by placing a notice on the Services, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes.

What Information does Brim Data Collect?

Information You Provide to Us

We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us. For example, through the registration process and/or through your account settings, we may collect Personal Data including, without limitation, the following:

First and Last Name,
Email address,
Phone Number, and
Payment Information.

Certain information may be required to register with us or to take advantage of some of our features.

We may communicate with you if you’ve provided us the means to do so. Also, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. This confirmation helps us make our communications with you more interesting and improve our services. If you do not want to receive communications from us, please indicate your preference by contacting us at info@brimdata.io or by following the opt-out instructions contained in any emails from us.

Information Collected Automatically

Whenever you interact with our Services, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include the following:

IP address,
Cookies and other tracking technologies (e.g. web beacons, pixel tags, SDKs, etc.) – For more information, please review our Cookie Policy in the following paragraph,
Geolocation data,
Device Identification,
Web Browser Information,
Page View Statistics, and
Usage Information.

“Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. If you click on a link to a third party website or service, such third party may also transmit cookies to you. Again, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we aren’t responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Please be aware that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Services, and those third parties may not honor “Do Not Track” requests you have set using your browser or device.

We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve the Services - for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and we can use that knowledge to make the Services interesting to as many users as possible.

Information Collected From Other Websites and Do Not Track Policy

Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our Services. Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Services and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Privacy Policy. Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. Our Services do not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Services and after you leave our Services.

Information Collected from Third Parties

Some third parties such as our business partners and service providers provide us with Personal Data about you, such as the following: Information from our advertising partners: We receive information about you from some of our service providers who assist us with marketing or promotional services related to how you interact with our websites, applications, products, services, advertisements or communications.

Is Personal Data about me secure?

Your account or portions of the Service may be protected by a password for your privacy and security. If so, you must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Data by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.

We seek to protect Personal Data using appropriate technical and organizational measures based on the type of Personal Data and applicable processing activity. Our security measures vary based on the sensitivity of the Personal Data we collect, process and store and the current state of technology.

We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Data we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.
