Additionally, when expressing an interest in obtaining additional information about the Gladly Solution or registering to use the Gladly Solution, we require you to provide us with personal contact information, such as your name, company name, address, phone number, and email address (“Required Information”). Although we use third party service providers to process payments, when purchasing access to the Gladly Solution, we may require you to provide our payment processing service providers with financial and billing information, such as billing name and address, credit card number, and the number of employees within your company that will be using the Gladly Solution (“Financial Information”). We may also ask you to provide additional information, such as company annual revenues, number of employees, or industry (“Optional Information”).

How Gladly Collects Your Information; Tracking and Cookies
When you register for an account with Gladly, we may ask you to provide us with certain information in order to create your account, and to provide you with our Gladly Solution. This information is collected by us when you fill out forms that may be provided to you through the Gladly Solution. Gladly, and third parties we interact with, including our third-party service providers, may use cookies, web beacons, hashed identifiers derived from email addresses for the purposes of cross-device tracking for targeted advertising, local shared objects (sometimes called “flash cookies”), and similar technologies in connection with your use of the Gladly Solution to provide and support the Gladly Solution (collectively referred to in this policy as “Cookies”). Cookies are small data files that may have unique identifiers, and reside, among other places, on your mobile device, in emails we send to you, and on our applications. Locally shared objects or “flash cookies” are data files that can be created on your computer by the websites you visit and are a way for websites to store information for later use. Locally stored objects are different than cookies because they are stored in different parts of your computer than cookies. Web beacons are small strings of code that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a web page or in an email message for the purpose of transferring data.

If Cookies are used, they may be used to collect information about you and your use of the Gladly Solution, such as your browser type, preferences, data relating to content that has been displayed to you or that you have clicked on, and the date and time of your use. Cookies may also be used in order to further features and processes on the Gladly Solution, provide authentication and security for your transactions using the Gladly Solution, store your preferences, facilitate relevant advertising, and help us learn more about how users engage with the Gladly Solution.

We sometimes use service providers to help us provide certain products and services or to integrate other features. These third-party providers may collect information when you view or use them, including information about you and your device or browser. They may do this using Cookies or similar technologies. These third-party providers also may use these technologies to help share information with us, like how you use their website or application. To learn more about the information they collect or receive, review their privacy policies. In particular, Gladly works with AdRoll.com, which uses hashed identifiers derived from email addresses for the purposes of cross-device tracking for targeted advertising. AdRoll.com’s privacy policy may be found at https://www.nextroll.com/privacy/.
