Information We Collect Automatically
We also automatically collect certain information about your interaction with the Springbuk Website or when you open an email sent from Springbuk (“Usage Data”). To do this, Springbuk may use tracking technologies such as cookies, pixels, web beacons/clear gif, and/or other tracking technologies (“Tracking Technologies”). Usage Data includes:

Cookie Policy
At Springbuk, we leverage information about our website Users in order to provide better service to those who access our content online. The Springbuk Website automatically uses Tracking Technologies to track Users of the Springbuk Website to facilitate and enhance the user experience on the Springbuk Website, to learn and track how Users access and use the Springbuk Website, including when and how Users visit
the Springbuk Website and how popular particular Springbuk Website pages are and are not, to provide Users with customized advertising, and for other purposes as described herein.
Most browsers automatically accept Tracking Technologies, but you may be able to control the way in which your devices permit the use of Tracking Technologies. If you would like to browse the Springbuk Website without Tracking Technologies, you can adjust the setting of your Internet browser to reject the setting of all or some Tracking Technologies (provided that some Tracking Technologies will still apply as if they are necessary for the functioning of the Springbuk Website). Changing your Tracking Technologies preferences in one browser will not necessarily carry over to other browsers, so you may need to adjust your preferences each time you get a new device, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or alter or delete a browser’s cookie file. If you have questions regarding the specific information about you that we process or retain, as well as your choices regarding our collection and use practices, please
contact us using the information listed below.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your device’s hard drive by your web browser. The Springbuk Website may use both cookies that Springbuk implements (sometimes referred to as first-party cookies) and cookies implemented by our suppliers and other third parties (sometimes referred to as third-party cookies). The types of information collected by a cookie and the purposes for which that information is used will depend on the type of cookie. By way of illustration, the types of cookies used,
the types of information collected by those cookies, and the purposes for which that
information are used are described below.
For more information about cookies, including about advertising cookies and your
choices regarding cookies, we suggest you visit the following websites:

Analytics Tools & Providers
As noted above, the Springbuk Website uses third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect and process data about your use of the Springbuk Website. Our analytics providers may set and read cookies to collect this data, and your web browser will automatically send data collected by those cookies to our analytics providers. Our analytics providers use this data to provide us with reports that we will use to improve the Springbuk Website’s structure and content. For example, Springbuk may utilize
Google Analytics and other analytical tools offered by Google. For more information on how Google uses this data, visit Google’s page on How Google uses data when you use websites or apps that use Google Services. To prevent this data from being used by Google Analytics, follow the instructions to download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each browser you use. Using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on will not prevent Springbuk from using other analytics tools and will not
prevent data from being sent to the Springbuk Website itself or to Google.
Advertising networks, Personalized Advertising, Remarketing & Retargeting
Springbuk may use or participate in advertising networks and related advertising services that are managed and provided by third-party advertising servers, advertising agencies, technology vendors, and research firms, including Google Ads. Advertising networks often gather data about consumers who view advertisements to make inferences about a consumer’s interests and preferences, which enables their
computers to deliver advertisements directly targeted to the User’s specific interests.
Through Google Ads, Google uses your Internet searches, cookies, and similar identifiers (e.g., pixel tags) to collect information about your visits to the Springbuk Website and your interaction with the Springbuk Website to generate targeted advertisements to you on other websites that you visit across the Internet. We may also enable and implement Google Analytics Advertising Features on the Services. To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use this information, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions.
To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads and to obtain more information about third-party ad networks and online behavioral advertising, please visit the National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page. Please remember that changing your settings with individual web browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may still see our ads from time to time. Your device may also include a feature (“Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS or “Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads” on Android) that allows you to opt out of having certain information collected through apps used for behavioral advertising purposes.
Do Not Track & Global Privacy Controls
Your browser settings may allow you to transmit a “do not track” signal, “opt-out preference” signal, or other mechanism for exercising your choice regarding the collection of information about you when you visit various websites. Like many websites, the Springbuk Website is not designed to respond to such signals.

subject to this Springbuk Website Privacy Notice, including the following categories of

Social Features
Certain features of the Springbuk Website allow you to initiate interactions between the Springbuk Website and third-party services or platforms, such as social networks (“Social Features”). Social Features include features that allow you to access our pages on third party platforms, and from there “like” or “share” our content. Use of Social Features may allow a third party to collect and/or use information about you.

Third Party Websites; Links
Springbuk may provide links to third party websites or platforms. If you follow links to sites or platforms that Springbuk does not control and are not affiliated with Springbuk, you should review the applicable privacy notice, policies and other terms. Springbuk is not responsible for the privacy or security of, or information found on, these sites or platforms. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, such as third-party social networking platforms, may also be viewable by other users of the Springbuk
Website and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitation as to its use. Springbuk’s inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owner or operators.
Embedded Content
The Springbuk Website may also incorporate features, add-ons, portals, and content including feeds, scripts embedded in the Springbuk Website’s code, and visible content (e.g., videos), provided by third parties. In some cases, those third parties collect data about how you interact with their content. For example, the Springbuk Website uses YouTube to make content in video format available to you. By accessing a part of the Springbuk Website where videos are available, watching an embedded video, or
otherwise interacting with any content made available through YouTube, you signify your agreement with YouTube’s terms and conditions. YouTube collects and otherwise has access to usage data (e.g., what videos you accessed and watched) through videos embedded in the Springbuk Website as further described in YouTube’s Privacy Notice.
YouTube adheres to Google's privacy policies and principles, part of which allow you to control certain privacy settings and which data are collected.
