This Privacy Policy covers any information transmitted by you or on your behalf to Stagedge in connection with the Services, whether such transmittal is made through the Website, the Mobile Apps, electronic messaging, or any other method.

If you use any of the Services, you should check our Website periodically for changes. If you continue to use the Services, your continued use will represent your acceptance of any changes that we may make.

What Information Does Stagedge Collect and How IS the Data Used?
Stagedge collects and processes data that is necessary for our legitimate business interests and purposes. We process only the types of Personal and Non-Personal Information described below, and we maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity, and privacy of this information.
The Services may collect certain information automatically about your mobile device if you use a mobile device to access the Services. The automatically collected information may include but not be limited to: (i) the type of mobile device that you use, (ii) the unique device identification number of your mobile device, (iii) your mobile device’s IP address, (iv) the type of operating system running in your mobile device, (v) the type of internet browser that you utilize, and (vi) information about your usage of the Services.
We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with legal obligations applicable to our operations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.
Personal and Business Information
When you use the Services, we may collect what is generally called “personally identifiable information,” or “Personal Information,” which is information that specifically identifies an individual. Examples of Personal Information include name, email address, mailing address, and phone number.
The Mobile Apps may utilize GPS technology, IP address, other sensors such as nearby devices, Wi-Fi access points or cell towers, or other similar geolocation technology in order to determine your current location, if enabled or necessary for use of the Services.
We use the data we collect to further our legitimate business interests, which include providing, improving, and marketing our Services. We may use the information collected to (i) provide the Services to you, (ii) personalize your use of the Services, (iii) communicate with you, respond to your requests, and related activities, and (iv) improve or enhance the Services. You can opt-out of receiving certain or all communications by following the unsubscribe instructions contained in a communication.
We store and process data for as long as it is necessary to provide you with our Services or information related to the Services we offer. In determining how long to store your information, we will consider: (i) whether we are currently providing Services to you; (ii) the length of time since we last provided Services to you; (iii) the likelihood that you may want or need our Services in the future; (iv) our legitimate interests in processing the data to provide, improve, or market our Services; (v) any communications or requests which we have received from you; and (vi) your rights or interests in minimizing the processing of your data.
By submitting your information to us and by using the Services, you consent to our use of your data as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent, you should not use the Services. Where consent is required for lawful processing of your data, however, use of the Services alone will not constitute consent. In such circumstances, you will be prompted to check a box, click a button, or otherwise engage in an affirmative act to demonstrate your consent to the collection and processing of personal data. By taking such affirmative act, you are confirming that your consent is freely given, unambiguous, and covers all relevant processing purposes.
Where consent is required for lawful processing, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to the withdrawal.
Non-Personal Information
Certain Non-Personal Information about Website visits is recorded by the standard operation of the internet servers on which the Website is hosted, including but not limited to: (i) IP address; (ii) domain server; (iii) type of device(s) used to access the Services; (iv) web browser(s) used to access the Services; (v) referring webpage or other source through which you accessed the Services; (vi) geolocation information; and (vii) other statistics and information associated with the interaction between your browser or device and the Services. Non-personally identifiable information may be used to improve the design and content of the Services or to personalize your experience.
