​

Information You Provide

​

Some of our Services require you to provide us with personal information such as your name and email address when you choose to contact us. We require this information in order to respond to your inquiries. IP address may be collected from website logging. Name, email address and external IP address are not collected automatically from any of our mobile applications.

We gather certain information either automatically or based on permission settings in our mobile applications. Such information includes, but is not limited to, the model of mobile device you use, your device location, the mobile network (mobile carrier) you use, your mobile network information, language, and Wi-Fi network information. Based on the permission level you grant us, such information may be collected both when you are using our mobile applications and when the mobile applications are closed.

​

We use the collected information for the administration and operation of our Services and to generally improve the overall quality of your experience. We also assign a unique M2 identifier to your device, which is not associated with any external databases or third-party identifiers.

We also use cookies on our websites to permit us to recognize users and avoid repetitive requests for the same information.

​

Data is periodically transmitted to external services to help us improve our Services. We will share data collected through our Services with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy.

 

We may disclose collected information:

​

• as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process;

• when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;

• with our trusted web hosting, cloud services, and data storage services providers who work on our behalf, do not have an independent use of the information we disclose to them, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy statement;

• if M2Catalyst, LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of any of our Services; in such a case, you will be notified via a notification sent to your mobile device, through email, and/or a prominent notice on any related Service of any change in ownership or uses of this information, as well as any choices you may have regarding this information;

• through the sale or license of this information to third-party customers in the ordinary course of our business.

Legal Basis for Processing

If you provide consent, we will collect and process personal data about you, as part of a contractual agreement with you, and as necessary to provide our Services to you, operate our business, meet our contractual and legal obligations, protect the security of our Services, and fulfill our other legitimate interests.

​

Global Data Transfers

Our headquarters is in the United States and information we collect from you will be processed in the United States.

Individuals in the EEA:

 

The United States has not received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR. We rely on derogations for specific situations set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR in order to transfer your personal information across international borders. In particular, we collect and transfer personal information outside of the EU only: (i) with your consent; (ii) to perform a contract with you; or (iii) to fulfill other compelling legitimate interests in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms.

​

What are my opt-out rights?

​

You can suspend the collection of geolocation information by changing your device, application, or browser settings.

 

Our websites do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

 

You can permanently stop all collection of information from our Services simply by uninstalling (if such Service is a mobile application installed on your device), or discontinuing use (if such Service is a website or related service).

​

Security

​

We provide commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information we process and maintain. Please be aware that, although we endeavor to provide reasonable security for information we process and maintain, no security system can guarantee 100% security. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to us and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, or inadvertent disclosure of your information.

​

Third-Party Links

​

Our Services may contain links to other websites or mobile applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites or mobile applications. When you leave any of our Services, we encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every website or mobile application that collects personally identifiable information. Your browsing and interaction on any other website or mobile application, including those that have a link on any of our Services, is subject to that website’s or mobile application’s own rules and policies.

Our Services may also include features such as plug-ins or widgets operated by third parties not owned or controlled by us. Third parties may use these features to collect information like your IP address and the pages you visit on our Services.
