Use of Website Traffic Data
We may convert or combine some Personal Information of users into de-identified or aggregated data that does not disclose any of the Personal Information of any individual user. We may use and disclose any such de-identified or aggregated data without restriction.
Some of the information that we collect from cookies, web beacons or other embedded code relates to your personal use of the Website and allows us to store information about your preferences, speed up your searches and recognize you when you return to our Website. Other information that we collect from cookies, web beacons or other embedded code is not tied to your Personal Information and enables us to estimate our audience size and usage patterns. This traffic data may be shared with third parties without restriction. For example, we have engaged a third party service provider to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of our Website and viewing of our content by our users and to conduct “A/B testing” on our Website in order to improve the Website’s UI and UX, and we provide traffic data that does not include any of your Personal Information to this third party service provider for this purpose.
Tracking, Interest-Based Advertising and “Do Not Track”
Tracking involves the use of cookies, web beacons, or other embedded code or tracking technologies to collect, analyse and store information on a user’s behaviour over time on multiple sites, including information on the sites visited, products viewed, products purchased and other online interactions. Tracking information can be used to enable companies to make interest-based (behavioural) advertising available to users on multiple sites that they visit.
We permit certain third party advertisers and ad networks that we have engaged to use cookies, web beacons or other embedded code or tracking technologies to record the fact of your visit to our Website, including sites visited and products viewed (e.g., that you viewed the Digital Summit Kansas City events page). Such third party advertisers and ad networks may use this information to provide targeted advertisements to you regarding our own products and services on other sites that you may visit. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used to serve interest-based advertising.
Our Website does not currently respond to any “Do Not Track” signals from your computer or mobile device, and if your computer or mobile device sends a “Do Not Track” signal to the Website, the Website will not treat you differently from users who do not send such signals.
Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to improve, personalize and measure the effectiveness of the content on the Website. You can obtain more information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data by visiting Google’s webpage “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps,” available online at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
Social Media Widgets
You may be able to use social media widgets such as the Facebook Like button on the Website. These widgets will collect your IP address and identify which page you are visiting on the Website and make your preference information available to third parties. The information collected by such widgets is controlled by third-party privacy policies.
Sharing Information With Event Sponsors
If you attend a digital summit or internet summit such as kiwaso capital, then we may share your name, company, job title, email address, phone number and postal address with any event sponsor, and that event sponsor may use this information to contact you or to provide you with additional promotional or marketing information. We do not control how the event sponsor may use your information once you have agreed to share it with them. If you have any questions about how the event sponsor may use your information, you should contact the responsible event sponsor directly or consult the event sponsor’s applicable privacy policy.
Third Party Websites
Users may find advertising or other content on our Website that link to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Website. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link to our Website, is subject to that website’s own terms and policies.
