(“Cyvl”) gathers personal information in connection with the services that we provide. Cyvl takes individual privacy seriously and we endeavor to inform you of the uses that we have for personal information that we obtain from you (“Collected Information”). We will take reasonable commercial steps to protect your privacy consistent with the guidelines set forth in this policy and with applicable federal and state laws. In this policy, “user,” “your,” or “you” refers to any individual from whom we obtain Collected Information, whether by browsing our website, creating an account with us, having your picture or image captured while present in public, or participating in any other activities through with us. As the manners in which we obtain Collected Information and our uses for Collected Information may change from time to time, we encourage you to return to and reread this privacy policy from time to time.

What Information Do We Collect?

We obtain three types of Collected Information: (1) Personal Information, (2) Web Tracking Information, and (3) Biometric Information.

Personal Information

We may collect the following “Personal Information” in connection with your use of our website: Your first and last name, email address, telephone number, postal addresses, your answers to periodic surveys, information and data related to your interaction with our website, and financial information. In the event that we obtain your Personal Information from other sources, we may add it to the Personal Information that we have already collected from you in order to improve our products, services, and website.

Web Tracking Information

We may collect “Web Tracking Information” in connection with your use of our website: Internet protocol address (“IP address“), browser type, domain names, access times, and operating system. We use cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (“URLs”) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the information for which you searched and which you viewed. Cookies are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire when you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our website.

Biometric Information

Due to the nature of the services and products that we offer to civil engineers customers, we often collect pictures or images of roads, sidewalks, parks, and/or other infrastructure that is open to the public. These pictures and images may capture an individual who was present in the public place when the picture or image was taken. As a result, we potentially possess imagery of these individuals’ faces and other physiological, biological, or behavioral characteristics that may be used to identify them (collectively, “Biometric Information”). Given the manner in which these pictures and images of public places are collected, we it is generally infeasible for us to obtain the consent of each individual from whom we collect Biometric Information prior to collection. However, where the applicable law in a particular state or jurisdiction requires that consent be obtained prior to collection we will either (i) not collect Biometric Information in that state or jurisdiction; or (ii) obtain the required consent prior to collection Biometric Information.
