WHO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM 

We may collect personal information from the following groups of data subjects: visitors to our Services; the customers of third-party vendors and business partners.

Personal information generally means information that can be used to identify you or that can be linked to you (for example, your name, address, telephone number, and email address). In addition, personal information may include browser name, type of computer, operating system, website and application traffic information such as the number of Online Resource visitors, the specific pages you visit and your website browsing patterns. You may visit our Services anonymously and decline to supply personal information, except that doing so may prevent you from engaging in certain activities.

The privacy laws in some jurisdictions include unique elements in what they consider to be the personal information of the consumers or data subjects they protect. If those laws apply to us, as in the case of the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), our use of the phrase “personal information” includes the unique elements required by such laws. To learn more about these elements, please visit this website.

Web and Application browser cookies, activity data

Gastroknowmi may share your personal information with third-party service providers who perform various functions to enable us to provide our services and help us operate our business. Gastroknowmi and third-party service providers may place persistent cookies, web beacons, or use other technologies to collect anonymous, aggregate information about your use of our Services.

This information is used only to analyze your interactions with our Services and to improve and customize our Services to provide for a better user experience.  

Our Services, like most websites and applications, employ “cookies” and similar technologies.  You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, some parts of the Services may not function properly.

“Do Not Track” Signals

Our Services do not respond to web browser “do not track” signals. Accordingly, even if you select a “do not track” option on your browser, your navigation of the Services may be tracked as part of the collection of your information described above.

WHAT WE COLLECT

There are two types of information that we obtain from you online and then store and use: (i) non-personal information that’s collected automatically from each visitor, such as your device operating system; and (ii) personal information that you voluntarily provide to us or that is collected automatically. 

By using our online and mobile resources or purchasing our products or services, you are signifying to us that you agree with this section of our privacy statement and that we may use and disclose your information as described.

Voluntarily Submitted Information

Some of the ways you voluntarily give us your personal information and how we use it: 

Emails and Online Forms: When you send us an email or fill out an online form - such as to join our waitlist or provide feedback - your email address and any other personal information (e.g., First and Last Name) that may be in the content of your message or attached to it, are retained by us and used to respond back directly to you and to process your request. Depending on the personal information provided, communications from us may be in the form of emails. We may also send you information about any of our products or services we think may be of interest to you.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our Services, basic information is passively collected through your web browser via use of tracking technologies, such as a “cookie” which is a small text file that is downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you access our Services. It allows us to recognize your computer or mobile device and store some information about your preferences or past actions. 

We allow third party vendors to use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time following your use of the site. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how you use our Services and enhance your experience when you visit them. For more information on how Google uses this data, go to https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can learn more about how to opt out of Google Analytics by going to https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=en 

The internet activity information collected through cookies and other similar means includes such things as: the domain name and IP address from which you accessed our Services; the type of browser and operating system you use; the date and time and length of your visit; the specific page visited, graphics viewed and any documents downloaded; the specific links to other sites you accessed from our online and mobile resources; and the specific links from other sites you used to access our online and mobile resources.

Additionally, if you access our Services from a phone or other mobile device, the mobile services provider may transmit to us uniquely identifiable mobile device information which allows us to then collect mobile phone numbers and associate them with the mobile device identification information. Some mobile phone vendors also operate systems that pinpoint the physical location of devices and we may receive this information as well if location services are enabled on your device. If you do not want us to collect and use geolocation data, disable location services through your device settings. 

Regardless, we use both automatically collected information and mobile device information to compile generic reports about popular pages on our Services, and to see how our customers and followers are accessing our Services. We then use that data to administer the Services and make them better, make your activities more convenient and efficient and to enhance the functionality of our online and mobile resources, such as by remembering certain of your information in order to save you time. 

We use and retain your personal information in accordance with applicable law and as long as necessary to carry out the purposes described above in accordance with our internal data retention procedures. 

Gastroknowmi will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Services, or We are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

External Sites, Apps, Links and Social Media.

We maintain a presence on one or more external social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. We may further allow features of our Services to connect with, or be viewable from, that external social media presence. Similarly, our Services may contain links to other websites or apps controlled by third parties. 

We are not responsible for either the content on, or the privacy practices of, social media platforms, or any third-party sites or apps to which we link. Those apps, sites and platforms are not controlled by us and therefore have their own privacy policies and terms of use. If you have questions about how those apps, sites and platforms collect and use personal information, you should carefully read their privacy policies and contact them using the information they provide.
