Last Updated: July 17th, 2024

This End User Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes the practices of ContainIQ, Inc., doing business as and referred to herein as “Positional”,  for collecting, using, maintaining, disclosing, and otherwise processing (collectively, “processing”) the information that we collect from you, as well as how we protect and secure your data. If you have additional questions regarding your rights under this Policy or any agreement you may have with Positional regarding your data, please contact us. Please read this Policy carefully to understand our processing of your information and how we will treat it.

This Policy generally applies to the information that Positional processes. However, this Policy is subordinate to any specific terms and conditions set forth in any contract for services or other agreement you may have with Positional relating to a service or data.

Further, this Policy applies only to information Positional processes. This Policy does not apply to information collected by Positional’s business partners, who may have their own privacy policies that apply to you. The information you provide to such companies is subject to such companies’ policies. It is our policy, however, to treat all Personal Information received from our business partners with the same or greater care that they use.  

Many of Positional’s customers and/or other third parties (“Third Parties”) use Positional’s goods and services on such websites, apps, or other services (each an “End User Service”), for example, to evaluate usage and to improve their content and/or functionality. When you visit or use such an End User Service that use Positional’s goods and services, they send information to Positional. For example, when you visit a website that uses Positional goods and services, your web browser may automatically send certain information to Positional relating to your use of the website.

1. What information does Positional collect?

Information relating to usage of an End User Service is automatically collected when you visit or use an End User Service.  Such collected information may include but is not limited to:

  • Behavioral data not identifiable to you as a natural person such as: pages visited, time and/or date of visit, time spent on pages, paragraphs read, client elements and coordinates, scroll data and other user interaction, and other data relating to use of or operation of the End User Service(s);
  • Your geographic area;
  • Device and/or browser information;
  • Cookies, or other similar tracking technologies processed in a non-identifiable way;
  • Information we anonymize and/or aggregate by combining it with other data in such a way that no natural person can be identified or linked to any specific information.

2. Why does Positional collect this information?

Positional may collects and process Personal Information and Non-Personal Information for a variety of purposes depending on the information being processed. “Personal Information” is information that can individually or collectively be used to identify, locate, or contact you, a natural person, as well as any other information about you that we may connect with Personal Information. “Non-Personal Information,” on the other hand, is information that does not identify you as a natural person and is not identifiable to you as a natural person. Personal Information may be processed as may be necessary to determine and/or characterize use of the End User Services and assist operator of such End User Services in the provision of, maintenance of, improvement of, usability of and/or effectiveness of goods and/services provided by the End User Service and/or as otherwise described in a privacy policy of the operator of the End User Service.  Personal Information may also be used to assist in the provision of, maintenance of, improvement of, usability of and/or effectiveness of goods and/services of Positional and/or as otherwise described in this privacy policy.  Positional may also process the Personal Information as may be necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

To summarize, Positional processes Personal Information for the following purposes:

  • To measure and understand the effectiveness of goods and services of Positional and/or of third parties using Positional’s goods and services;
  • To provide, maintain, support, and/or improve goods and services of Positional and/or third parties using Positional’s goods and services;
  • To comply with applicable laws and regulations; and
  • To protect against fraud and abuse.

If we would like to process your Personal Information for any other purpose, we will disclose this to you at the time it is collected and may request your express consent.  

Positional may provide your Information and/or information derived therefrom to the third parties providing the End User Services from which the Information was collected, to facilitate use for the above identified purposes.  Such third parties may additionally use the provided Information and/or information derived therefrom in accordance with their own privacy policies that apply to you.

With respect to Non-Personal Information, because this information does not identify a natural person, Positional may use and process it for any purpose. Positional expressly reserves the right to use anonymized or aggregated information to improve or develop its goods and services, create and publish reports, conduct statistical analyses about customer interest, monitor industry trends, and otherwise engage in activities that do not result in the disclosure of identifiable information.

To be clear, Positional is committed to respecting its customers’ privacy and will only process your Personal Information for the reasons disclosed herein or as requested at the time of collection and then only in the context of your customer relationship with Positional. Positional will not sell, rent, or lease your Personal Information to others.
