Privacy Policy

We respect the privacy rights of our users and recognize the importance of protecting the personal information we collect about you. Our Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand what information we collect and how we use and share that information. This Privacy Policy applies to our Websites and Services.

This “Privacy Policy” explains how Pexeto Pty Ltd (collectively “Pexeto”, or “we”, or “us”, or “our”) collects, uses and shares your personal information in connection with your use of usersinsights.com (the “Site”, or “Website”) and our services, and explains your choices for how we handle your personal information. For convenience, the Site and our services are collectively referred to as the “Service”.

Information We Collect

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so–for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better.

We collect information in three ways: if and when you provide information to us, automatically through operating our Services, and from outside sources. Let’s go over the information that we collect.

Information You Provide to Us

It’s probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us. The amount and type of information depends on the context and how we use the information:

  • Basic Account and Billing information: When you attempt to purchase a product from us, we will create an account for you on our site, that will allow you to download the product and have access to updates and license information. We ask for basic information from you in order to set up your account. For example, we require to provide a name and email address. We also require to provide your billing country for taxation purposes.
  • Communications with us: You may also provide us information when you send us an email or communicate with us about a support question.
  • Licensing information: When you purchase a product from us and activate its license, we will store the URL of the website for which the license is activated. This is so we can verify the license validity for any requests coming from your website to download updates or use the included product services (such as geolocation API access).

 

Information We Collect Automatically

We also collect some information automatically:

  • Login and usage information: We collect information about your usage of our Services. For example, we collect information about the actions that a user performs on our site like last login date, number of sessions along with information about your device (e.g., browser, operating system and mobile device manufacturer) and IP address. We use this information to, for example, provide our Services to you, as well as get insights on how people use our Services, so we can make our Services better.
  • Location Information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our Services from certain geographic regions. We also use the country associated with your IP address when you purchase a product from us as an additional verification of location for taxation purposes.
  • Information from Cookies & Other Technologies: A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. We use cookies to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our Services.
