OPTIMUS ("Optimus," "we," "us," or "our") takes the private nature of your information very seriously. OPTIMUS is developed, maintained and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SOURCE CODE LLC. (“SOURCE CODE”). This policy regarding our privacy practices (the "Privacy Policy") describes how we treat the information we collect when you use OPTIMUS (the "Site") and/or OPTIMUS's other domains, products, advertising products, services, and/or content, including our mobile applications (collectively with the Site, the "Services"). When you use the Services, you also consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy; please read it carefully.

What This Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of information gathered when you are using or accessing the Services. This Privacy Policy also covers our treatment of any information about you that our partners share with us or that we share with our partners.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own, control, or manage, including but not limited to any third party websites, services, applications, or businesses (“Third Party Services”). While we try to work only with those Third Party Services that share our respect for your privacy, we don't take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third Party Services. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of all Third Party Services you access.

What We Collect and How We Use It

Account Information: When you create an account on the Services (an "Account"), we’ll ask you for information such as your username, password, age, and email address (“Account Information”). We may use Account Information, alone or together with other information, to enhance and improve the Services, such as by personalization. We use your email address to verify your Account and to communicate with you.

User Content: By default, majority of the content that your profile is based on is retreived from the ERP system your organization uses. Although we do provide tools that let you change the content on your profile, you should assume that anything your ERP system holds will override your settings if such behaviour is defined by your organization. Also, please keep in mind that anything you share privately with another user within your company, particularly chats, may be viewed by your superiors. Content published and shared publicly is accessible to individuals in your organization as defined by the access hierarchy. In addition, all content that is published in, or created by the use of, OPTIMUS is sole ownership of your organization.

Native Actions: The Services allow you to perform native actions that are integral to our products. We use information about native actions to improve the Services, develop new Services, and, particularly, to personalize your OPTIMUS experience. Personalization using this information may include presenting you with content that's relevant to the action you are performing, providing you with better user experience, and showing you data more relevant to your business goals. Keep in mind that whilst we do try to personalize your OPTIMUS experience, your organization has the power to override personalized settings with those settings that are of more importance to the business.

Use of information: We use all the available information on your clients in your ERP, such as information related balance statements, payment options, etc. This data, along with other client data, is regarded and treated as confidential. OPTIMUS does not provide this, or any other data, to third parties as all data presented via OPTIMUS is regarded as strictly confidential. The provison or forwarding of any data available in OPTIMUS is governed by your organization's policies.

Information Related to Use of the Services: We collect information about how people use the Services, including those with an Account. This type of information may be collected in our log files each time you interact with (i.e., make a request to) the Services. We use internal tools and third party applications and services (like Google Analytics or comScore) to collect and analyze this information. Some of this information may also be associated with the Internet Protocol Address (“IP Address”) used to access the Services; some may be connected with your Account; and some may only be collected and used in aggregate form (as a statistical measure that wouldn’t identify you or your Account). We also collect your IP Address when you interact with any of the available actions in OPTIMUS. We may use this information about how you and others interact with the Services for a number of things generally related to enhancing, improving, protecting, and developing new Services, including but not limited to: providing users with personalized content;identifying trending or popular content; and generally keeping our users and community safe; and for legal and safety reasons as set forth in “Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others.”

Information Related to Your Web Browser: We automatically receive and record information from your web browser when you interact with the Services, such as your browser type and version, what sort of device you are using, your operating system and version, your language preference, the website or service that referred you to the Services, the date and time of each request you make to the Services, your screen display information, and information from any cookies we have placed on your web browser (as described below). We also sometimes detect whether you are using certain web browser extensions and store that information in a manner associated with your Account. We use web browser-related information to enhance and improve the Services.

Location Information: In all cases we collect and store information about where you are located, such as by converting your IP Address into a rough geolocation. We may also ask you to provide information about your location, for example to use your geolocation information from your mobile device. We may use location information to improve and personalize the Services for you, for example by showing you relevant local content.

Information Related to Your Mobile Device: We may collect and store information related to your mobile device. In some cases, we, or a Third Party (who we use for mobile analytics and other services), may receive, generate, or assign your mobile device a unique identifier for the purposes described above in “Information Related to Use of the Services.” We may also ask you to provide your phone number to enable new products and improve the Services, such as by enabling multi-factor authentication for Account login.

Information Collected Using Cookies and Web Tags: Cookies are text files that may be sent to and saved by your web browser when you access a website; your web browser stores these cookies in a way associated with each website you visit, and you can generally see your cookies through your browser settings, depending on what browser you’re using. A web tag is code or a pixel embedded in a web page, or email, that allows OPTIMUS or a third party to see that you have looked at that page. We use cookies and web tags to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you use the Services, as described above in “Information Related to Use of the Services.” Our cookies do not, by themselves, contain information that personally identifies you, and we don't combine the general information collected through cookies with other such information to tell us who you are. However, we do use cookies to identify that you have logged in, and that your web browser has accessed the Services, and we may associate that information with your Account if you have one. We may also store unique or near-unique identifiers that we associate with your Account in our cookies. This information, in turn, is sometimes used as described above in “Information Related to Use of the Services.” Most web browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your web browser) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. If you disable cookies, you won't be able to log into your Account, and so won’t be able to use the vast majority of our Services; as such, we don't recommend disabling your cookies when using the Services. Some services that we use (including Third Party Services), such as Google Analytics, use web tags and may also place their own cookies on your browser, and individual blogs on our network may contain code that places their own cookies. We also run limited-time studies using web tags, sometimes with third parties, to, for example, measure the effectiveness of our advertising or email. Note that, unless otherwise disclosed, this Privacy Policy covers our use of cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by third parties.

Derived Information: As described above in “Native Actions” and “Information Related to Use of the Services,” we analyze your actions on the Services in order to derive or infer characteristics that may be descriptive of your Account. We use this information for all of the purposes set forth in “Information Related to Use of the Services,” above.

With Whom Your Information Is Shared

We never share information we receive from you unless your organization explicitly asks us to do so.

Information You Share with Third Party Services: You may access Third Party Services through the Services, for example by clicking on externally-pointing links. This Privacy Policy only governs information we collect and you are responsible for reading and understanding those Third Party Services' privacy policies.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time, using the process for modifications set forth in our Terms of Service. Use of information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.
