Please note that your use of the Site and any of our Services is subject to our Terms of Service which you may access at the bottom of our homepage.

SCOPE OF THE PRIVACY POLICY
The Privacy Policy applies to all information you provide to COMPETITION LABS through the Site. If you have submitted information to any third parties through our Site and Service, we cannot be responsible for any information collected by those third parties.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We generally collect two types of information—personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information. Personally identifiable information is any information that can be used to specifically identify you as an individual. For example, you may submit and we may collect your name, email address, address, phone number, or similar information through the Site. Non- personally identifiable information consists of information that does not specifically identify you. The following sections describe how we collect and use your personally identifiable information and non- personally identifiable information.

Web beacons and cookies collect information such as URLs you came from and go to, your browser and OS information, your IP address, your mobile provider, your mobile device, and your ISP. None of the information collected by our cookies or web beacons is personally identifiable information.
Cookies are bits of data placed on your hard drive when you visit websites. A cookie file contains information that can identify you anonymously and maintain your account’s privacy.

We may also store other information such as recent searches in your session. We use cookies to tell us, for example, whether you have visited us before or if you are a new visitor, and to help us understand what areas of the Site are of greatest interest to you. Cookies also may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences and password so you do not have to re-enter this information each time you visit the Site. Please be aware that some or all of our cookies may be accessible by third parties.

Although we endeavour to select only reputable companies who share our commitment to privacy and will restrict how these suppliers or service providers may use or disclose the personally identifiable information to which they have access, we are in no way responsible for such third parties or their activities. Therefore, you agree to allow us to give your information to third party suppliers and service providers in order for us to provide service to you.
