Information Collection and Use
Ellison collects various types of information when you access, use, or interact with the Services. The information about you is collected in three ways: directly from your input, from third-party sources, and through automated technologies. The types of information Ellison may collect include:
Personally Identifiable Information: Ellison may collect Personally Identifiable Information about you through your use of the Services. “Personally Identifiable Information” refers to information about you that may be used to identify you, such as your: first name, last name, address, zip code, email address, or phone number. We may combine the Personally Identifiable Information we collect with additional information we collect about you or obtain from third-party sources. Ellison may use your Personally Identifiable Information to inform you of other products or services available from Ellison. Ellison may also share your Personally Identifiable Information outside of Ellison. For example, Ellison may share data with our third party partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, or to provide customer support to Users.
You are not required to provide your Personally Identifiable Information; however, if you choose to withhold certain Personally Identifiable Information, we may not be able to provide you with certain of the Services.

Unique Identifiers: When you use or access the Services, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more "Unique Identifiers," such as a universally unique identifier (“UUID”).

A Unique Identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Services. You can typically change your browser settings to disable use or availability of Unique Identifiers. Some features of the Services may not function properly if use or availability of Unique Identifiers is impaired or disabled.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information (EEA visitors only)
If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, (ii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, or (iii) where we have your consent to do so. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contact with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).
If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will normally be to operate our platform and communicating with you as necessary to provide our services to you and for our legitimate commercial interest, for instance, when responding to your queries, improving our platform, undertaking marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities. We may have other legitimate interests and if appropriate we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

Information Security
Security of Your Information
Ellison takes reasonable efforts to secure and protect the privacy, accuracy, and reliability of your information and to protect it from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Ellison implements appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process. When personal information (such as a credit card or bank account number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption. As no data security protocol is impenetrable, Ellison cannot guarantee the security of our systems or databases, nor can we guarantee that personal information we collect about you will not be breached, intercepted, destroyed, accessed, or otherwise disclosed without authorization. Accordingly, any information you transfer to or from Services is provided at your own risk.
Please do your part to help us keep your information secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and Ellison Account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or Ellison Account. Ellison specifically reserves the right to terminate your access to the Services and any contract you have with Ellison related to the Services in the event it learns or suspects you have disclosed your Ellison Account or password information to an unauthorized third party.
Data Security Incidents
In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security or other data security incident, Ellison will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where necessary, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised (where appropriate) and take other steps in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization.
