We do collect personally identifiable information about you, such as your name and phone number, when you voluntarily provide it by registering with us or using the Service. To facilitate your use of the Service, we may automatically collect certain types of information when you access or use the Service. In order to collect this data, we may utilize automated tools and files such as “cookies” and may share that information with third parties through the use of pixels and analytics tools. Such cookies and tools include user navigation and interaction tracking as well as security mechanisms. These automated tools and files may reside on our servers or on your computer or device. If you restrict our ability to use automated tools and files, your ability to access and use all or part of the Service may be limited or disabled completely.

Controlling Your Personal Information

We may make available to users messaging and other interactive features. You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g. user name, e-mail address) to third parties via the Service, that information, along with any substantive information disclosed in your communication, can be collected, correlated and used by third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Certa.

Disclosure: Parties With Whom We May Share Your Information

We may disclose your personal information to third party business partners including advertisers and others from time to time, as discussed within this Policy, in our sole discretion. We may also share information regarding your visits to our website with analytics providers, such as Google and Microsoft, and social medial platforms through uses of pixels such as the Meta Pixel.

In addition to the forgoing, we will disclose your personally identifiable information as we believe is reasonably necessary to comply with law, regulation or other governmental authority or to prevent harm to yourself or others. We may also contract with various third parties who help us provide and maintain the Service. For example, we use a third party to host the Websites, the Service and associated databases, and may subcontract out production, fulfillment, or other operations. In these cases, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such third parties from disclosing your personal information, except for the purpose of providing the services in question.
