Information Collection :
Registration:
In order to become a AgencyScoop user, you must first create an account on this web site. To create an account you are required to
provide the following contact information: name, email address, years of experience, profile type, your availability for work and choose a password.
Profile Information::
Once a user, you may provide additional information in the Profile section describing your skills, professional experience. Providing
additional information beyond what is required at registration is entirely optional, but enables you to better identify yourself and
find new opportunities in the AgencyScoop system. Information about your Contacts In order to invite others to connect with you
directly in AgencyScoop, you will enter their names and email addresses. This information will be used by AgencyScoop to send
your invitation including a message that you write. The names and email addresses of people that you invite will be used only to
send your invitation and reminders.
Information about your Contacts::
In order to invite others to connect with you directly in AgencyScoop, you will enter their names and email addresses. This information
will be used by AgencyScoop to send your invitation including a message that you write. The names and email addresses of people that
you invite will be used only to send your invitation and reminders.
You may also choose to manually enter or upload data about your contacts into the private "My Colleagues" section of our web site. All
information entered there will only be viewable by you and will not be searchable by others in the AgencyScoop network without your
permission. All information that you enter or upload about your contacts will be covered by the same terms of this privacy policy as
cover your own personally identifiable information.
Cookies & Log Files:::
Like most web sites, AgencyScoop uses cookies and web log files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file which resides on your
computer which allows AgencyScoop to recognize you as a user when you return to our site using the same computer and web browser.
Unfortunately, if your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be able to use our web site. Like the information you enter at
registration or in your Profile, cookie and log file data is used to customize your experience on the web site.
One type of cookie, known as a "persistent" cookie, is set once you've logged in to your AgencyScoop account. The next time you visit
the AgencyScoop web site, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing user so you will not need to log in
before using the service. In order to access or change any of your private information (like a credit card number), however, you must
log in securely again with your password even if your computer contains your persistent cookie. Additionally, if you log out of the
AgencyScoop site you will need to re-enter your password the next time you visit in order to log in to your account. Another type of
cookie, called a "session" cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to the AgencyScoop site. Session cookies expire after a short
time or when you close your web browser.
Due to the communications standards on the Internet, when you visit the AgencyScoop web site we automatically receive the URL of the
site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave AgencyScoop. We also receive the Internet protocol (IP)
address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web
browser you are using, as well as the name of your ISP. This information is used to analyze overall trends to help us improve the
AgencyScoop service. The linkage between your IP address and your personally identifiable information is never shared with
third-parties without your permission or except when required by law.
Web Beacons::
We allow other companies, called ad networks, to serve advertisements to AgencyScoop users. Ad networks include third party ad servers,
ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms. AgencyScoop may "target" some ads to users that fit a certain general profile -
for example, "Animators in Florida." AgencyScoop does NOT use personally identifiable information to target ads.
Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network's servers, these companies can view, edit
or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.
These general targets may also be used by ad networks to display targeted ads on other web sites as a substitute for random, irrelevant
ads. You will never see additional ads as a result of being a AgencyScoop user and AgencyScoop never provides personally identifiable
information to any advertiser nor any third party.
You may not at this time opt-out of use of Web beacons in AgencyScoop pages that you view or of placement of a cookie by ad networks in your browser.
Children::
Children are not eligible to use our service and we ask that minors (under the age of 18) do not submit any personal information to us
or use the service.
Information Use:
AgencyScoop is an online service dedicated to helping all types of professionals more effectively connect with one another. The
personally identifiable you choose to provide on this site is used to help you describe yourself to other users. Other information,
that does not personally identify you as an individual, is collected by AgencyScoop Corporation from the site (such as, by way of
example, patterns of utilization) and is exclusively owned by AgencyScoop. This information can be utilized by AgencyScoop in
such manner as AgencyScoop, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
AgencyScoop Communications:
AgencyScoop will communicate with you through email and notices posted on this web site. These include a series of up to five welcome
emails which help inform new users about various features of the service. Please be aware that you will always receive certain emails
from AgencyScoop related to the proper functioning of your account, such as email notices when another user in your network sends you
a message. AgencyScoop may send you promotional information but this will be very limited and rare.
Customized Content:
Information you provide at registration or in your Profile section is also used to customize your experience on the web site. For example,
when you login to your account we will display the screen names of new users who have recently joined.
Information Sharing:
Sharing Information With Third Parties:
AgencyScoop takes the privacy of our users very seriously. We will never sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable
information to any third parties for marketing purposes. We will only share your personally identifiable with third parties to carry out
your instructions and to provide specific services. For instance, we use a credit card processing company to bill users for subscription
fees. These third parties do not retain, share, or store any personally identifiable information except to provide these services and are
bound by strict confidentiality agreements which limit their use of such information.
AgencyScoop offers a "web profile" feature which allows users to publish portions of their AgencyScoop profile, including your "name",
but not your "email address" to the public Internet.
We may provide aggregated data about the usage of our services to third-parties for such purposes as we deem, in our sole discretion, to
be appropriate. We may segment our users by role (i.e. Animators, Supervisors), software skill, geographic location, company.
Partnering with Other Organizations to Offer Combined Services::
AgencyScoop partners with other online services to give you the combined results of both services. Whenever we offer such combined
services it will be your choice to make use of the combined services or not. In these cases, your personally identifiable information
will only be passed from AgencyScoop to the partner if you choose to use the combined service.
Communications Between Users::
Many emails you initiate through AgencyScoop, an invitation sent to a non-user for instance, will list your email address and name in
the header of the message. Emails you initiate may also provide aggregate information about your network (for instance how many people
are in your network), but will never list the people to whom you're connected. Other communications that you initiate through
the AgencyScoop web site, like a request for colleague connection, will list your name as the initiator but will not include your personal contact
information.
Legal Disclaimer::
It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information when required by law. We will disclose such information wherein we have
a good-faith belief that it is necessary to comply with a court order, ongoing judicial proceeding, or other legal process served on our
company or to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
Accessing and Changing Your Account Information :
You can review the personal information you provided us and make any desired changes to the information, or to the settings for your
AgencyScoop account, at any time by logging in to your account on the AgencyScoop web site and editing the information on your Profile
page. You can also close your account through the AgencyScoop web site. If you close your AgencyScoop account, we will remove your
name and other personally identifiable information from our publicly viewable data. We may retain certain data contributed by you if it
may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-
-identifiable data, account recovery, or if required by law. All retained data will continue to be subject to the terms of the
AgencyScoop Privacy Policy that you have previously agree to.
Security :
In order to secure your personal information, access to your data on AgencyScoop is password-protected, and sensitive data (such as
credit card information) is protected by SSL encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and our web site. To protect any
data you store on our servers we also regularly audit our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks and we use a tier-one
secured-access data center.
Changes to this Privacy Policy :
AgencyScoop may update this privacy policy. In the event there are significant changes in the way we treat your personally identifiable
information, we will display a notice on this site. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that
we have about you and your account.
