Automatically Through Our Services

As you navigate through and interact with our Services, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect information that may include personal data. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, operating system, and browser type, and information collected through cookies and other tracking technologies, including details of your interactions with our Services, such as traffic data, location data, and other communication data, and which resources and Services features that you access and use.

Using automatic collection technologies helps us to improve our Services and to deliver a better and more personalized experience.

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

  • Cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you interact with our Services. You may refuse to accept or disable cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser or device. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain features of the Services.

  • Web Beacons. Some parts of the Services and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit Deco, for example, to count users who have visited those parts or opened an email and for other related statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity).

To the extent any of these automated technologies are considered a personal data sale, targeted advertising, or profiling, under applicable laws, depending on where you live, you may opt out from use of these automated technologies for such uses by contacting us in writing. Please note that some Services features may be unavailable as a result.

When you interact with the Services, there are third parties that may use automatic collection technologies to collect information about your or your device. These third parties may include:

  • Advertisers, ad networks, and ad servers.

  • Analytics companies.

  • Your device manufacturer.

  • Your internet or mobile service provider.

These third parties may use tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Services. The information they collect may be associated with your personal data or they may collect information, including personal data, about your online activities over time and across different websites, apps, platforms, and other online services. We do not control these third parties' tracking technologies or how they may be used.

Your Rights and Choices About Your Information

This section describes mechanisms you can use to control certain uses and disclosures of your information and rights you may have under state law, depending on where you live.

Advertising, marketing, cookies, and other tracking technologies choices:

  • Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or other tracking technology files, or to alert you when these files are being sent. You can choose whether or not to allow the Services to collect information through other tracking technologies when you first visit our website; you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies, and you may also adjust your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website. If you disable or refuse cookies or similar tracking files, some Services features may be inaccessible or not function properly. Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that can send a signal to the online services you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Services may not respond to all browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the cookie controls and advertising controls described in this policy.

  • Promotions by Deco. If you do not wish us to use your information to promote our own or third parties' products or services, you can opt out by logging into your account and adjusting your account settings and preferences or sending us an email stating your request to Deco at the email address at the end of this Policy.

Location data choices:

  • Location Data. You can choose whether or not to allow the Services to collect and use real-time information about your device's location through the device's privacy settings. If you block the use of location information, some Services features may become inaccessible or not function properly.

How We Protect Your Information

We use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect your personal data from accidental loss or destruction and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no website, mobile application, system, electronic storage, or online service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to, through, using, or in connection with our Services. In particular, email, texts, and chats sent to or from our Services may not be secure, and you should carefully decide what information you send to us via such communications channels. Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. You are responsible for taking steps to protect your personal data against unauthorized use, disclosure, and access.

How We Retain Your Personal Data

We keep the categories of personal data described in this Policy for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described or for as otherwise legally permitted or required, such as maintaining the Services, operating our organization, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and for safety, security, and fraud prevention. This means that we consider our legal and business obligations, potential risks of harm, and nature of the information when deciding how long to retain personal data. At the end of the retention period, personal data will be deleted, destroyed, or deidentified.

Text Messaging
If you opt in to receive SMS or text messages from us, we will use your mobile number to send you transactional or informational messages as described at the time of opt-in.  The following terms apply:

  • Message Frequency: The frequency of SMS or text messages from us will vary based on Services requested.

  • Opt-In Consent: We only send messages to users who have explicitly opted in.

  • 10DLC Compliance: We comply with U.S. carrier registration and vetting requirements for 10DLC messaging. All text messages are sent via registered 10DLC numbers in compliance with carrier and FCC rules, including those under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). We maintain opt-in records and message logs to ensure traceability and accountability.

  • Two-Factor Authentication: If you utilize our secure upload portal, we may send SMS messages to those users who enable two-factor authentication for security purposes. These messages contain one-time passcodes and are used solely to authenticate the user.

Children’s Privacy
We do not direct our services to individuals under the age of 13, and therefore ask that these individuals not provide personal data through our Services. If we become aware we have inadvertently collected such data from children under the age of 13, we will delete it promptly.

Your State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residency, you may have certain rights related to your personal data, including:

  • Access and Data Portability. You may confirm whether we process your personal data and access a copy of the personal data we process. To the extent feasible and required by state law, depending on your state, data will be provided in a portable format. Depending on your state, you may have the right to receive additional information, and it will be included in the response to your access request.

  • Correction. You may request that we correct inaccuracies in your personal data that we maintain, taking into account the information's nature and processing purpose.

  • Deletion. You may request that we delete personal data about you that we maintain, subject to certain exceptions under applicable law.

  • Opt Out of Using Personal Data for Targeted Advertising, Profiling, and Sales. You may request that we do not use your personal data for these purposes.

Important: The exact scope of these rights vary by state. There are also several exceptions where we may not have an obligation to fulfill your request.

To exercise any of these rights (including to appeal a decision regarding a consumer rights appeal), please contact us via email at the email address at the end of this Policy.

Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) that can send a signal to process your request to opt out from certain types of data processing, including data "sales" as defined under certain laws. When we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting as required by applicable law.

Nevada provides its residents with a limited right to opt out of certain personal data sales. Residents who wish to exercise their sale opt-out rights may submit a request to us via email at the email address at the end of this Policy. However, please know we do not currently sell data triggering that statutes opt-out requirements.
