Collection of Data

“Personal Information” means information associated with or used to identify or contact a specific person. Personal Information includes (1) contact data (such as email address, telephone number and employers); (2) demographic data (date of birth, mailing address or postal code) and (3) certain Usage Data (defined below), such as IP address or User-generated content.

“Usage Information” or “Usage Data” is information Progi automatically collects about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, some of the cookies that are installed on your device and other device event information such as system activity, crashes, and hardware settings.

Progi refers to this automatically collected information as “Device Information.” Such collection of your Usage information or Usage data by Progi is only applied to your activity within the ProgiPix sites.

Generally, Progi does not consider Usage Data as Personal Information because Usage Data by itself usually does not identify an individual. Personal Information and Usage Data may be linked together. Different types of Usage Information may also be linked together and once linked, may identify an individual person. Also, some Usage Data may be Personal Information under applicable law.

Progi collects information that you provide to Progi and from your use of the SaaS and the services. The information that Progi collects and how Progi processes it depends on how you use and access the SaaS. Some information is collected automatically using cookies and similar data collection tools.
