("Sketchfab," "we" or "us") may collect, share, and use the information you provide to us, or we otherwise collect, when you use any Sketchfab website, application, or service, that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Services"). We are responsible for providing the Services to you and are the controller of personal data processed under this Privacy Policy. Note that your use of the Services is also subject to the Sketchfab Terms of Use ("Terms of Use"), available at https://sketchfab.com/terms. Please read this entire privacy policy and Terms of Use, and confirm you understand and agree to them, before using the Services. Information We Collect We collect information on and through our Services. The specific types of information we collect vary depending on the nature of our relationship with you and how you choose to interact with us, but may include personal data. Generally speaking, we collect information in three main ways: A) when you provide it to us, B) automatically when you use the Services, and C) from service providers and third parties. A. Information You Provide You can provide us with different kinds of information depending on how you interact with the Services. Sometimes we'll ask you to provide specific pieces of information, such as where we require it to provide parts of the Services to you (for example, by prompting you to complete an online registration process). If we ask you to provide us with information in these cases and you choose not to, you may not be able to access the relevant Services and/or some features may not operate as intended. For instance, to register as a user and create a profile, you'll need to provide us with basic registration information like your name, a public-facing display name, password, country that you live in, and email address. If you want to make a purchase or become a seller, we ask that you provide payment-related information (like your PayPal e-mail address, VAT number, and business location). We also collect the information you voluntarily provide as part of your user profile (like avatar, biography, skills, and interests), to sign up for email alerts, use social features and forums (likes, follows, comments, search queries), use our tools (including to create and publish images and other content), complete surveys, or contact us for customer support. If you enter a contest or competitive event, we'll collect your application information and other information we may need to help confirm your eligibility and process rewards. We collect whatever information you choose to provide to us in those or other similar cases. B. Information We Collect Automatically We collect some information automatically when you visit, access, or use the Services. This includes information about your site or application usage, user interactions, purchases, and other activity in the Services, typically associated with your account profile or with an identifier we have assigned to your device or profile. While the specific types of information that we automatically collect may vary, they generally include: Usage information and statistics about how you interact with the Services, including the application you used, saved preferences, crash reports, commenting data (for spam prevention via Akismet), and navigation data (like the URLs of our websites that you have visited, URLs of referring and exiting pages, page views, time spent on a page; Technical information about your computer, device, hardware, or software you use to access our Services, such as IP address, device identifiers, your internet service provider, plugins, or other transactional or identifier information for your device (such as device make and model, information about device operating systems and browsers, or other device or system-related specifications); and The general location of your device, which we typically derive from your device's IP address. The Services use technologies such as cookies, log files, and web beacons to automatically collect the types of information listed above. Some of these technologies may create small files or record-keeping tools that may be stored on your device. They help us, our service providers, and third parties recognize your device and provide information about how you use and interact with the Services. For example, they support our ability to authenticate users, remember preferences, personalize experiences, and conduct data analytics. Please see the "Cookies" section below of this Privacy Policy for further information about what information will be automatically collected when you visit our Services. Please note that if certain features on the Services are provided by third parties, those third parties may also use automated means of data collection and may record information about your use of the Services or others' websites over time. These features are subject to those third parties' privacy notices and policies. C. Information We Collect from Other Sources In some cases, we may also receive information about you from third parties or service providers in connection with your use of the Services or your interactions with us on other platforms. For instance, while using the Services, individuals may provide information about another individual, or an authorized user (such as an account administrator) creating an account on your behalf may provide information about you. As another example, if you choose to sign in to your Sketchfab account with your account on a third-party (like Facebook) website or service, or if you interact with Sketchfab on an external website or service (like LinkedIn), the company that operates that website or service may share some information with us in accordance with their own privacy practices. Your privacy settings on the other company's website or service typically control the specific types of information they can share with us, so please be sure to review and update them regularly. How We Use Your Information As a general matter, we use the information we collect (either individually or in combination with other information collected as described in this policy) to help us provide, improve, customize, analyze, and promote the Services. This includes using it for purposes such as: Creating use profiles, verifying and managing user accounts and features; Providing the Services, as well as support and assistance for them, including by responding to inquiries, processing transactions or requests, and communicating with users (such as by sending service and account-related messages and updates); Developing, delivering, and improving the Services and other offerings, some of which may be offered in partnership with other parties; Personalizing your experience, including by presenting content or features better tailored to you or your interests, or our inferences about your interests; Promoting the Services, including managing, customizing, and measuring the effectiveness of our advertisements, promotional offers, contests or challenges, surveys, and events; Conducting research and data analytics (like analyzing how the Services are used so we can better understand, improve, and personalize them); Complying with our legal or contractual obligations and enforcing our terms; and Securing the Services, such as by detecting fraud and otherwise protecting KitBash and other users from illegal or harmful actions. We may also process information that does not identify you individually, including aggregate or de-identified information that we create or collect from other sources. This information helps us better understand larger groups of users. If we combine this information with information that identifies you, we will treat it as described in this privacy policy. But please note that this privacy policy does not restrict our ability to process information that does not individually identify you, and we may use and disclose aggregated or de-identified information for any reason permitted by law. Recipients of Your Information We may share your information with our related entities including our parent and sister companies, but only for the business purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. We may otherwise disclose your information: to business partners, suppliers, and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you, for example for hosting and operating the Services or providing support and maintenance services for the Services; to analytics and search engine providers and other selected third parties that assist us in the improvement and optimization of our website; to our regulators, law enforcement, or fraud prevention agencies, as well as our advisors (including legal advisors and auditors), courts, and any other authorized bodies, for the purposes of investigating any actual or suspected criminal activity or other regulatory or legal matters; in the event of certain types of corporate transactions (like in connection with a restructuring or sale of all or a significant part of our business); if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data to comply with any legal obligation, or to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sketchfab, our customers, or others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction; to legal advisors and otherwise in connection with legal proceedings to enforce or apply our rights under any contract; and otherwise where we have notified you of the intended disclosure, and where required, you have expressly given your prior consent to such disclosure.
