​

Information From Third-Party Social Media Platforms

 

You may be able to register with, log on to, or enhance your profile on this Site by choosing to automatically populate the requested data fields with information you previously provided to a third-party social media platform (such as Facebook or Twitter). By doing this, you are asking the third-party platform to send us information, including personal information, from your profile on that platform. We treat that information as we do any other information you give to us when you register, log on, or enhance your profile.

​

Information from your browser or device

 

Vaxa collects information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser or mobile device. This information typically includes your IP address, the name of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. The information we receive may depend on your browser or device settings.

The information we receive from your web browser and device is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable. Generally, we use this information in the aggregate to help us improve this Site and make it more compatible with the technology used by our visitors. However, we may combine it with other information in an attempt to identify you or we may combine it with information that does identify you. We may also review our server logs for security purposes—for example, to detect intrusions into our network—and we might share our server logs, which contain visitors’ IP addresses, with the appropriate investigative authorities who could use that information to trace and identify you.

​

Information Collected by Cookies and Other Technologies

 

We use “cookies” and other technologies to collect information and support certain features of this Site. For example, we may use these technologies to:

​

  • collect information about the ways visitors use this Site—which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page;

  • support the features and functionality of this Site—for example, to save you the trouble of reentering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits;

  • personalize your experience when you use this Site; and

  • improve our marketing efforts, including through use of targeted advertising.

 

The information we collect using cookies and similar technologies is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable, but we may link it to personal information that you provide. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit this Site, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of this Site if your browser rejects our cookies.

 

Information About Interest-Based Advertising and Third-Party Cookies

​

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that helps us understand how visitors engage with this Site. To learn more about Google Analytics, click here.  In addition, we may engage in interest-based advertising or "online behavioral advertising" by collecting (or by allowing third parties to collect) information through this Site about your web-viewing behaviors over time and across non-affiliate websites for the purpose of using that information to predict your preferences or interests and to deliver advertising to you based on the preferences or interests inferred from your web-viewing behaviors.  On our website, interest-based advertising may be executed through delivery of third-party cookies to your computer or mobile device. Other technologies may be used for the purpose of interest-based advertising on our mobile app.

​

You have choices about the collection of information by third parties on this Site. For example, if you don’t want information about your visit to this Site sent to Google Analytics, you may download an Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. Please note that the Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to Vaxa.

 

In addition, if you would like to opt out of having participating entities collect information about your online behaviors for advertising purposes when you are browsing our website, click here for a "Website Opt Out." you will be directed to an industry-developed website that allows you to choose whether each listed entity may collect and use data for interest-based advertising purposes. It may be that some of the third parties that collect interest-based information on this Site do not participate in the Website Opt out, in which case the best way to avoid third-party tracking of your online behaviors may be through your browser settings and deletion of cookies.

​

The Website Opt Out described above works only on websites. To opt out of having participating entities track your behaviors for advertising purposes when you are using our mobile app, download and use the Digital Advertising Alliance's "App Choices" app. As with the Website Opt Out, the "Mobile App Opt Out: prevents tracking only by participating entities. 

​

Please note that the Website Opt Out and Mobile App Opt Out are device specific. If you wish to opt-out from having interest-based information collected by participating entities across all devices, you need to take the steps outlined above from each device.

​

With Other Users of this Site

 

You may be able to submit User-Generated Content on or through this Site.

Any personal information contained in UGC can be read, collected, or used by others. In addition, we may use UGC you submit for advertising campaigns and other promotions. We may or may not use your name in connection with such use, and we may or may not seek your consent before using the content for such purposes. Therefore, you should have no expectation of privacy with respect to UGC you submit on or through this Site.

​

With Other Selected Business Partners

 

From time to time, we may share your information with selected third parties for their own marketing purposes. For example, we may partner with third parties to sponsor contests or other promotions, and we may share with these third parties the information you submit to us to participate in the contest or take advantage of the promotion. Before doing so, however, we may offer you the opportunity to “opt out” or “opt in,” as required by applicable law.

​

In aggregate or de-identified form

 

We use information collected through this Site to create a compiled, aggregate view of usage patterns.

We may also share with third parties information about how particular individuals use this Site, but only on a de-identified basis (“Individualized Data”).
