H.Cookies, Web Beacons And Other Tracking Technologies

Like many other websites, software services, and mobile applications, Hoist may automatically collect certain information and data from your browser or device through the use of “cookies,” “web beacons,” and other tracking technologies. Through these technologies we may collect information about your use of the Offerings and other online activity, including certain online activity after you leave the Offerings.

 “Cookies” are small pieces of data used by websites and software services to identify repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing logins and access to a software service or website, and facilitate use of the software service or website. Persistent cookies may remain on your device’s hard drive after you close your browser or device and may be used by your device on subsequent use of the Offerings. Persistent cookies can be removed by following the directions according to your particular device or web browser. Session cookies are temporary and disappear after you close your browser or device. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Offerings may not function properly if the ability to accept Cookies is disabled.

“Web beacons,” “pixel tags,” and “clear GIFs” (collectively, “Web Beacons”) are transparent pixel images embedded on webpages that are used in collecting information about website usage, email response, and tracking. Web Beacons are ordinarily not visible to users. Web Beacons allow us to count the number of users who have visited certain webpages, to deliver branded services, and to generate statistics about how the Offerings are used.

We may use Cookies, log files, Web Beacons, Unique Identifiers, and location data to:

1. provide and enhance the Offerings;
2. remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site;
3. provide custom, personalized content, correspondences, and information;
4. provide and monitor the effectiveness of the Offerings;
5. monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns;

8. help you efficiently access your information;
9. provide advertising to your browser or device; and
10. provide automatic updates related to the Offerings to you.

We do not link such Cookies, log files, Web Beacons, Unique Identifiers or location data to your Personal Data until consent to providing Personal Data to us.

Third party advertisers may also place or read Cookies on your browser. Advertisements that appear in connection with the Offerings may be delivered (or “served”) directly to you by third party advertisers. When advertisements are served directly by third party advertisers, they may automatically receive your IP address and may also download Cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and Web Beacons to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content for you. Hoist does not have access to or control of any Cookies that may be placed by third party advertisers. Privacy Policy covers the use of Cookies by Hoist and does not cover the use of Cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers. You are responsible for consulting the Privacy Policies and Terms of Service for applicable third party advertisers.

You have many choices with regards to the management of Cookies on your devices. All major browsers now allow you to block or delete Cookies from your system. We encourage you to learn more about your ability to manage Cookies and Web Beacons by consulting the privacy features of your devices and browsers.

I.Unique Identifiers

When you use or access the Offerings, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more "Unique Identifiers," such as a universally unique identifier (or, “UUID”). These Unique Identifiers may be associated with your device. Unique Identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your device that uniquely identify your device. A Unique Identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or via data sent to the device by Hoist. A Unique Identifier may convey information to Hoist or to a third party partner about how you browse and use the Offerings and may help us or others provide reports or personalized content and advertisements. A Unique Identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Offerings. Some features of the Offerings may not function properly if use or availability of Unique Identifiers is impaired or disabled.

Hoist may link this log file to other information Hoist collects about you via the Offerings. Hoist may use this information for marketing and advertising purposes.

In addition, Hoist reserves the right to use log files, IP addresses, Cookies, Web Beacons, and other tracking technologies to identify a user when Hoist: (1) feels it is necessary to enforce compliance with the Hoist Terms of Service; (2) to protect the Offerings and software, our customers or others; or (3) when Hoist believes in good faith that the law so requires.

Additional Provisions Regarding the Offerings & Your Personal Data

 Transfer and Storage of Your Personal Data

The United States, European Economic Area (“EEA”) Member States, and other countries all have different laws relating to privacy and data protection. When your Personal Data is moved from your home country to another country, the laws and rules that protect your Personal Data in the country to which your Personal Data is transferred may be different from those in the country in which you live. For example, the circumstances in which law enforcement can access personal information may vary from country to country. In particular, if your Personal Data is in the United States, it may be accessed by government authorities in accordance with U.S. law.

Please be advised that Personal Data Hoist collects about you via the Offerings may be transferred, processed and/or accessed by us in the United States, or another country where we, or our Service Providers operate.

We need all users’ help to report suspicious people and inappropriate content they encounter on Hoist.

Remember that although using fake names is a violation of the Hoist Terms of Service, people may not always be who they say they are. You should always be careful when contacting people you do not know in the real world. It is always risky to meet anyone in person whom you don’t know through real world friends. The following are important safety tips for using Hoist’s Offerings:

1. Be cautious about posting and sharing personal information, especially information that could be used to identify you or locate you offline;
2. Report users and content that violate our Terms of Service; and
3. Block and report anyone that sends you unwanted or inappropriate communications.
