Let\u2019s go over the information that we collect.<\/p><\/section><section><h4><em>Information You Provide to Us<\/em><\/h4><p>It\u2019s probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us directly. Here are some examples:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Basic account information: <\/strong>We ask for basic information from you in order to set up your account. For example, we require individuals who sign up for a WordPress.com account to provide an email address and password, along with a username or name \u2014 and that\u2019s it. You may provide us with more information \u2014 like your address and other information you want to share \u2014 but we don\u2019t require that information to create a WordPress.com account.<\/li><li><strong>Public profile information:<\/strong> If you have an account with us, we collect the information that you provide for your public profile. For example, if you have a WordPress.com account, your username is part of that public profile, along with any other information you put into your public profile, like a photo or an \u201cAbout Me\u201d description. Your public profile information is just that \u2014 public \u2014 so please keep that in mind when deciding what information you would like to include.<\/li><li><strong>Content information: <\/strong>You might provide us with information about you in draft and published content (a blog post or comment that includes biographic information about you, or any media or files you upload).<\/li><li><strong>Communications with us (hi there!): <\/strong>You may also provide us with information when you respond to surveys, communicate with our Happiness Engineers about a support question, post a question in our public forums, or sign up for a newsletter like the one we send through Longreads. When you communicate with us via form, email, phone, WordPress.com comment, or otherwise, we store a copy of our communications (including any call recordings as permitted by applicable law).<\/li><\/ul><\/section><section><ul><li><i>Information We Collect Automatically<\/i><\/li><\/ul><p>We also collect some information automatically:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Log information:<\/strong> Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, including the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information. We collect log information when you use our Services \u2014 for example, when you create or make changes to your website on WordPress.com.<\/li><li><strong>Usage information:<\/strong> We collect information about your usage of our Services. For example, we collect information about the actions that site administrators and users perform on a site using our WordPress.com \u2014 in other words, who did what and when (e.g., [WordPress.com username] deleted \u201c[title of post]\u201d at [time\/date]).\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Location information:<\/strong> We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our Services from certain geographic regions.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Interactions with other users\u2019 sites:<\/strong> We collect some information about your interactions with other users\u2019 sites while you are logged in to your account with us, such as your \u201cLikes\u201d and the fact that you commented on a particular post.<\/li><li><strong>Information from cookies &amp; other technologies:<\/strong> A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor\u2019s computer, and that the visitor\u2019s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on websites and emails. MirNat uses cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our Services.<\/li><\/ul><\/section><section><h3>How and Why We Use Information<\/h3><\/section><section><h4><i>Purposes for Using Information<\/i><\/h4><p>We use information about you for the purposes listed below:<\/p><ul><li><strong>To ensure quality, maintain safety, and improve our Services.<\/strong> For example, by providing automatic upgrades and new versions of our Services. Or, for example, by monitoring and analyzing how users interact with our Services so we can create new features that we think our users will enjoy and that will help them create and manage websites more efficiently or make our Services easier to use.<\/li><li><strong>To market our Services and measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our marketing.<\/strong> For example, by targeting our marketing messages to groups of our users (like those who have a particular plan with us or have been users for a certain length of time), advertising our Services, analyzing the results of our marketing campaigns (like how many people purchased a paid plan after receiving a marketing message), and understanding and forecasting user retention.<\/li><li><strong>To protect our Services, our users, and the public.<\/strong> For example, by detecting security incidents; detecting and protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; fighting spam; complying with our legal obligations; and protecting the rights and property of Automattic and others, which may result in us, for example, declining a transaction or terminating Services.<\/li><li><strong>To fix problems with our Services.<\/strong> For example, by monitoring, debugging, repairing, and preventing issues.<\/li><li><strong>To customize the user experience.<\/strong> For example, to personalize your experience by serving you relevant notifications and advertisements for our Services, recommending content through our Reader post suggestions, and providing new essays and stories through Longreads for your reading pleasure.<\/li><li><strong>To communicate with you.<\/strong> For example, by emailing you to ask for your feedback, share tips for getting the most out of our products, or keep you up to date on MirNat; texting you to verify your payment; or calling you to share offers and promotions that we think will be of interest to you. If you don\u2019t want to hear from us, you can opt out of marketing communications at any time. (If you opt out, we\u2019ll still send you important updates relating to your account.)<\/li><\/ul><\/section><section><h4><i>Legal Bases for Collecting and Using Information<\/i><\/h4><p>A note here for those in the European Union about our legal grounds for processing information about you under EU data protection laws, which is that our use of your information is based on the grounds that:<\/p><p>(1) The use is necessary in order to fulfill our commitments to you under the applicable terms of service or other agreements with you or is necessary to administer your account \u2014 for example, in order to enable access to our website on your device or charge you for a paid plan; or<\/p><p>(2) The use is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation; or<\/p><p>(3) The use is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or those of another person; or<\/p><p>(4) We have a legitimate interest in using your information \u2014 for example, to provide and update our Services; to improve our Services so that we can offer you an even better user experience; to safeguard our Services; to communicate with you; to measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising; and to understand our user retention and attrition; to monitor and prevent any problems with our Services; and to personalize your experience; or<\/p><p>(5) You have given us your consent \u2014 for example before we place certain cookies on your device and access and analyze them later on, as described in our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.automattic.com\/cookies\">Cookie Policy<\/a>.<\/p><\/section><section><h3>Sharing Information<\/h3><\/section><section><h4><i>How We Share Information<\/i><\/h4><p>We share information about you in limited circumstances, and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy.<\/p><ul><li><strong style=\"letter-spacing: 0px; color: #737e86;\">Academic and Industrial partners:<\/strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px; color: #737e86;\"> We may disclose information about you to our partners who need the information to help us provide our Services or process the information on our behalf.
