Cookies

Stagedge uses cookies on its Website to make your experience easy and meaningful and to enable certain technical operations.

These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social networking site such as Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. The social network will record that you have done this. This information may be linked to targeting and/or advertising activities.

Web Beacons

“Web Beacons” (a.k.a. clear GIFs or pixel tags) are tiny graphic image files imbedded in a web page or email that may be used to collect anonymous information about your use of our Services, the websites of selected advertisers and the emails, special promotions or newsletters that we send you. The information collected by Web Beacons allows us to analyze how many people are using the Services, using the selected advertisers’ websites or opening our emails, and for what purpose, and also allows us to enhance our interest-based advertising.

Website Analytics

We may use third-party website analytics services in connection with the Services, including, for example, to register mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity and text that you type into the Site. These website analytics services generally do not collect Personal Information unless you voluntarily provide it and generally do not track your browsing habits across websites that do not use their services.

Mobile Device Identifiers

Mobile device identifiers are data stored on your mobile device that may track mobile device and data and activities occurring on and through it, as well as the applications installed on it. Mobile device identifiers enable collection of Personal Information (such as media access control, address, and location) and Aggregate Data. Mobile device identifiers help Stagedge learn more about our users’ demographics and internet behaviors.

Log Files

Like many standard website servers, our web servers use log files. Log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp and number of clicks.

Stagedge will share your Personal Information with our business partners for whom we may collect your Personal Information or as otherwise obligated by our contractual commitments.

Stagedge does not sell your information to any third parties, except as consented to or directed by you. If we use any subcontractors, each subcontractor that may access your information will be contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of all information accessed.

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets or engage in other strategic transactions. In such transactions, your information may be transferred to: (i) a parent or subsidiary; (ii) an acquirer of assets or equity; or (iii) a successor by merger.

We may also release information when we believe release is appropriate to (i) comply with applicable laws; (ii) enforce an agreement with Stagedge; or (iii) protect the rights, property, or safety of Stagedge, our users, or others. Potential uses may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection.

We have industry reasonable security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the data under our control. The security measures include system and network components, and application components.
