When you use the YakChat Site or sign up for the Services, YakChat may collect certain contact information from you, including without limitation: first and last name, organization name, first line of address, city, state and postal/zip code, email address, and phone number (collectively, “Contact Information”). When purchasing Services, you will be required to provide additional information that may include a credit card number or other banking or payment information (“Billing Information”).
To improve the navigation experience on the YakChat site, YakChat also automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including the pages you request (“Site Information”).
Certain Site Information is collected through YakChat’s use of cookies. Cookies are sets of data which are stored by your web browser and which contain data. In as far as your consent is necessary in this respect, this will only take place if you have granted the required consent.
The same applies to web beacons and other standard collection tools. These tools help provide additional functionality to the YakChat Site and help us analyse use of the YakChat Site more accurately. We may also use cookies to help track the level of interest in different features of the YakChat Site and to compile data that can help us improve our Services. You can choose not to use cookies but then you will not be able to take advantage of certain features on the YakChat Site.
In addition to the collection of Site Information, in connection with your use of the Services, YakChat may collect information that is created or provided by you for such purposes (collectively, “Service Information”). For example, if you enable users to send SMS messages through the Services, YakChat will collect and maintain the messaging data (recipient phone number, message content, size and time of message and other transactional data).
Service Information may include information that is Personally Identifiable Data (as defined in the next paragraph).
The Contact Information, Billing Information, Site Information and Service Information may be referred to below, collectively, as the “Data”. “Personally Identifiable Data” means that data which directly, or used in conjunction with other provided information, enables the identification of a specific individual.
