INFORMATION WE COLLECT
‍

The information we collect from you varies depending on the way you use our Services. When you simply browse our public website as a consumer ("Consumer") to explore our Services or to learn more about us, the information we collect and use is different from the information we collect if you become a VendorPM business user ("Business User") and purchase and/or license one of our products or Services. Below, we describe the different ways we might collect information from you.

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us.  

Consumers

For example, when you use our Services as a Consumer, if you contact us for more information about our company, or otherwise communicate with us to learn more about our products and Services, we collect personal information, which may include:

• Name
• Email address
• Telephone number
• Address‍

Business Users‍

If you become a Business User, we collect certain personal information from you and/or your authorized users in order to facilitate our business relationship with you and provide you our products and Services (collectively, "Business Personal Information"). Business Personal Information we may collect from you and/or your authorized users includes:  

• first and last names
• business email addresses
• business phone numbers
• business avatars
• company name
• your role in your company
• property names
• property locations

• geolocation data

We also collect information a Business User chooses to provide relating to its customers or individuals that it serves ("Business Customer"). Business Users must provide their Business Customers any required notices and collect any necessary consents before providing or disclosing any such information (collectively "Business Customer Information") to us. VendorPM does not directly collect or control Business Customer Information, but rather Business Users determine what Business Customer Information they collect from their Business Customers, and to the extent VendorPM receives that information, we do so on behalf of our Business Users.

Information We Collect Automatically When You Use our Services

When you access or use our Services, we automatically collect information about you, including:

• Log Information:  We collect information related to your access to and use of the Services, including the type of browser you use, access times, pages viewed, your IP address, how long you spent on a page or screen on the VendorPM Sites, how you interact with our emails, navigation paths between pages or screens, links clicked, and the page you visited before navigating to our Services.

Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our Services and your experience, see which areas and features of our Services are popular, and count visits. Web beacons (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") are electronic images that may be used in our Services or emails and help deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage and campaign effectiveness. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, see Your Choices below.

Information We Collect from Other Sources

We may also obtain information about you from other sources, such as third-party source data, including company information, job titles, avatars, and geolocation data from whom you direct us to obtain data in connection with your use of our Services. Additionally, the sources of third-party personal information may include publicly available information, contact enrichment, and lead generation providers.
