Use of Information Collected by Us
IT MARKETZ may collect two types of information from users of our Sites: “personal information” (such as name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, social media profile, gender, ethnicity, marital status, etc.) and “aggregate information” (such as frequency of visits to any of the Sites, search terms entered, Site pages most frequently accessed, browser type, etc.). IT MARKETZ uses collected personal information for its primary business purpose of providing marketing and advertising services, and all related purposes, including matching Creators with Marketers for advertising and marketing opportunities, creating accounts and profiles, processing payment, dispute resolution, managing customer orders, and communication between users. We also use this information in an effort to improve your experience on the Sites and to communicate with you about information that you request, to help us target specific services or offers to you, to contact you for troubleshooting purposes or support, to enforce our Terms of Service or protect our Site(s), for administrative purposes, to help us develop and improve our Sites, or to tailor our Sites to your interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IT MARKETZ’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Collecting and Using Your Personal Information
IT MARKETZ collects personal information that is voluntarily provided when users sign up for an IT MARKETZ site or service, fill out a form, engage with a chatbot, connect a third-party platform, or enter a promotion. In addition, IT MARKETZ collects supplemental data from public sites, IP addresses, and connected social media channels (via an API for which you can select the types of information IT MARKETZ may access), to create a more robust user profile and increase the odds that a marketer will locate your profile for content opportunities.
As a Creator agreeing to the Terms of Service and Privacy Notice when creating an account on our Site(s), you express consent to the access and collection of data and content from the social media accounts you have connected, including followers, friend lists, photos, videos, or similar content published through those social media accounts. You have the option to change these choices made at registration, at any time. However, the decision to disconnect a social media account will not remove content or data previously gathered under your authorization. IT MARKETZ will process the data acquired through your social media accounts to identify you and present your profile as a Creator to Marketers with access to our Site(s), so that they may offer you Opportunities within the Platform or using the Discovery feature. IT MARKETZ may also use the data associated with your profile, including metrics, images, videos, and content, to promote or market IT MARKETZ and its products and services. As a Marketer agreeing to the Terms of Service and Privacy Notice when creating an account on our Site(s), upon registration you will be asked to provide an email address, establish a password, and provide payment account information. This data is required in order to make our services available to you.
As a user of the Site(s), we may communicate with you using the email address you have provided, for purposes such as providing you with Opportunities, delivering support to enhance your user experience, communicating news about IT MARKETZ or features and functionalities of the Platform, or presenting you with surveys or commercial offers you may be interested in. You may control your email preferences within your account in the Platform.
When you access our Site(s), we may collect information to include your name, company name, email address, mailing address, and other information you provide when engaging with our chatbot. These interactions are subject to our Privacy Notice. By carrying on a written conversation with our chatbot, you consent to receiving communications from the bot and to the processing and maintenance of your conversation via Hubspot in accordance with any terms of use or privacy notice that may apply in connection with that platform. Because our chatbot utilizes artificial intelligence to communicate with you, it may provide information that is an inaccurate response to your requests in its interactions with you. You agree that IT MARKETZ shall not be liable to you or any third party for our chatbot providing inaccurate information to you.

Collecting and Using Your Aggregate Information
IT MARKETZ also aggregates information that, by itself, does not identify who you are, such as frequency of visits to the Sites, search terms entered, browser type, etc. IT MARKETZ uses the aggregated information to provide its services and remuneration, as well as to determine the use of our Sites and to monitor, audit and analyze information pertaining to our business metrics.
Sharing, Selling and Trading of Your Personal Information Collected Online with Third Parties
IT MARKETZ does not share, rent, sell or disclose personal information to third parties, except as described in this Privacy Notice. IT MARKETZ shares personal information with our affiliated entities and subsidiaries, with Marketers, and with third-party service providers such as payment processing companies, ad services, payment recovery services, data providers, data analytics providers, and background checking services. These Marketers and third-party service providers are not authorized to retain, share, store or use your personal information for any purposes other than the purpose for which it was transferred (such as, to provide the services for which they have been hired to provide, to offer you opportunities within the Platform(s), or to provide Opportunities outside of the Platform as permitted via features such as Discover), without your express consent. In addition, in order to protect against potential fraud, we may verify with third parties the personal information you provide when you sign up for an account or when you participate in certain features or programs offered through our Sites. In the course of such verification, we may receive personal information about you, which will be shared with such third parties. We do not sell, trade or otherwise share your personal information with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes.
In the following circumstances, IT MARKETZ may elect to share or transfer your personal information to unrelated third parties: (i) to comply with a legal requirement, regulation, judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on IT MARKETZ, (ii) to investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; (iii) in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of IT MARKETZ; (iv) when we believe it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of IT MARKETZ or other persons, (v) to enforce your agreements with us, including the Terms of Service or Privacy Notice, or to respond to claims that your use of the Marketplace Services violates any third-party rights or applicable law; or (vi) as otherwise required or permitted by law.
It should be noted that on some portions of the Sites, users can choose to have their personal information displayed. If users choose to have their personal information displayed on the Site(s), they will be given forewarning that the action they are about to take will make their personal information publicly available on the Site(s).

Sharing, Selling and Trading Aggregate Information Collected Online with Third Parties
We may share, sell or trade with third parties aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users who searched for a particular term, for example, or how many users clicked on a particular advertisement. As stated earlier, such information does not identify you individually.

Contests/Sweepstakes
From time-to-time, we may request information from users of our Sites in connection with a contest or a sweepstakes. Participation in these contests or sweepstakes is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information and supplementary information on your interests, opinions and preferences. We will use the contact information to notify winners. We may publish winners’ first name, last initial and city of residence on the Sites and in order to comply with state law, we may be required to share: (i) winners’ first name, last name and address with state agencies and (ii) winners’ first name and last name, and possibly city or state, with persons requesting such information via the mail.
