b. Non-Identifying Information and De-Identified Information

  • Non-Identifying Information/Usernames: We also may collect other information that does not identify you directly, such as zip codes, demographic data, information about your use of the Service, and general project-related data (“Non-Identifying Information”). We may combine information collected from WisdomCircle users, whether they are registered or not (“WisdomCircle Users”). In some cases, we may render Personal Information (generally, email address) into a form of Non-Identifying Information referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Hashed Information.” This is typically accomplished using a mathematical process (commonly known as a hash function) to convert information into a code. While the code does not identify you directly, it may be used by WisdomCircle’s partners to connect your activity and interests.
  • Combination of Personal and Non-Identifying Information: We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information, but WisdomCircle will treat the combined information as Personal Information.
  • De-Identified Information: We may also de-identify or aggregate information and convert it into non-personal information so that it can no longer reasonably be used to identify you (“De-Identified Information”). We may use De-Identified Information for any of the purposes described in the “We Use Information We Collect” section below. We will maintain and use De-Identified Information in de-identified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information, except to confirm our de-identification processes or unless required by law.

c. Information Collected Automatically

WisdomCircle may collect non-personally identifiable information regarding your usage of the Services, including the pages and articles and presentations you viewed, time spent using certain features of the website, demographic data such as server locations, connection speed, and other information that does not identify you. Like most online services, we also use cookies, log files, clear GIFs, tracking pixels, web beacons, and other technologies that may collect Personal Data.
Type of cookie Purpose

Essential (Necessary Cookies)

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Site and to enable you to use some of its features. For example, they allow you to log in to secure areas of our Site and help the content of the pages you request to load quickly. Without these cookies, the Services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with those services.

Functionality (Necessary Cookies)
These cookies allow our Site to remember choices you make when you use our Site, such as remembering your login details and remembering the changes you make to other parts of our Site which you can customize. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit our Site.
Analytics and Performance (Analytics Cookies)
These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our Site and how users use our Site. The information gathered via these cookies does not "directly" identify any individual visitor. However, it may render such visitors "indirectly identifiable". This is because the information collected is typically linked to a pseudonymous identifier associated with the device you use to access our Site. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous. We use this information to help operate our Site more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our Site. We use a number of different tools including Google Analytics, Sentry, and FullStory for this purpose.
Targeted and advertising (Marketing Cookies)
These cookies track your browsing habits to enable us to show advertising which is more likely to be of interest to you. These cookies use information about your browsing history to group you with other users who have similar interests. Based on that information, and with our permission, third party advertisers can place cookies to enable them to show adverts which we think will be relevant to your interests while you are on third party websites. Third party advertisers may also use other technologies in addition to cookies placed on the Site (such as JavaScript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content.
Social Media (Marketing Cookies)
These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or "like" button on our Site or you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social networking website such as Facebook, Twitter or Google. The social network will record that you have done this. These cookies may also include certain code that has been placed on the Site to help track conversions from ads, optimize ads based on collected data, build targeted audiences for future ads, and remarket to qualified leads—users who have already taken certain action on the Site.

How can I disable cookies?

You can typically reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “settings”, “help” “tools” or “edit” facility). Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings.

If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Services and some features of the Service may not function properly. For example, we may not be able to recognise your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Services.

These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.

Clear GIFs Information (Web Beacons):

When you use the Services, we may employ clear GIFs (also known as web beacons or tracking pixels) to anonymously track online usage patterns. No Personally Identifiable Information from your WisdomCircle account is collected using these clear GIFs. In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients. The information collected is used to enable more accurate reporting and make WisdomCircle better for our users.

Third Party Services:

 WisdomCircle may use third-party services such as Google Analytics to help understand use of the Services. These services typically collect the information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including cookies and your IP address. They receive this information and their use of it is governed by their respective privacy policies. You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics relating to your use of our Services by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via this link: [http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.](http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB)

d. Analytics Providers, Ad Servers and Similar Third Parties

We receive information from third party vendors and/or other commercially and/or publicly available sources, such as:

We combine your personal information with information we collect automatically or obtain from other companies and use it for the purposes detailed in this Policy.

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in some web browsers, allowing users to opt out of tracking by websites and online services. Currently, we do not respond to web browsers’ “do not track” signals that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information about users’ activities on the Services and on other websites. If we do so in the future, we will provide relevant information in this Privacy & Cookies Policy.
