ChatbotsPlace ("COMPANY") values your privacy. To learn more about what personal and user data ChatbotsPlace collects, uses, retains and shares; how we protect your personal data; and what choices and means of control you have over your personal data, please read this statement in its entirety.

This privacy statement was last updated on April 22, 2023.

If we make important changes to this privacy statement, we will post a notice on our website and/or contact our customers as appropriate or as required by applicable law.

1, What does this privacy statement cover?

This statement describes ChatbotsPlace's customer privacy practices for our ChatbotsPlace-branded global websites, ChatbotsPlace applications, ChatbotsPlace services, ChatbotsPlace customer sales and marketing activities, and ChatbotsPlace customer services and support functions, among others. This statement does not apply to ChatbotsPlace’s employee data practices.

Please also note that certain ChatbotsPlace websites, or software experiences may have links to third-party websites or services. In most cases, those third-party resources are subject to the privacy practices and policies of those third parties and not ChatbotsPlace.

2, What personal, user and product data does ChatbotsPlace collect and how does ChatbotsPlace use and share the personal data it collects?

ChatbotsPlace may collect certain categories of data about you when you use our websites; use our services; receive our marketing communications; interact with our customer service and support teams; and in other contexts. The data we collect can be broadly categorized as follows:

Personal Data: This is individually identifiable data that you may choose to provide us. This may include basic information such as your email address and phone number, or more sensitive information such as your full date of birth or your payment information.
User Data: This is data that we collect from users of our services. User data could include personal data such as your unique ChatbotsPlace user ID or account username and password, but sometimes this user data is anonymous or “pseudonymous”, i.e., certain user data that could be made identifiable if associated with personal data.
Location Data: This is data we collect that help us determine a location based on your IP address in order to customize our Service and for other uses consistent with this Privacy Statement.

ChatbotsPlace has various uses for your personal and user data you provide to us. Here are the principal contexts in which we may use, retain and share your personal and user data:

Websites and Account Management: Most often, you may browse our websites without providing any personal data to us. However, if you choose to establish a user account with ChatbotsPlace, engage in e-commerce, sign up for marketing communications, or interact with our customer service teams or participate in a forum on our website, we will likely need to collect some personal or user data from you. In addition, our web servers automatically collect certain data by default, such as IP addresses and other activity logs. This type of data is used for website security and site improvement purposes. Much of that data is not readily identifiable and is usually kept anonymous. In order to maintain and improve our websites, ChatbotsPlace uses third party hosting, content management and security partners, vendors and suppliers.
Sales: If you decide to purchase a service from ChatbotsPlace, we will need to collect certain personal data from you, including payment-related information. Typically, we use third party partners, vendors and suppliers, such as payment processing companies during our sales.
Marketing & Social Media: You may choose to receive ChatbotsPlace marketing communications, participate in an event/contest/promotion with us, or connect with ChatbotsPlace via social media. If you do so, we will collect certain personal data about you, such as your contact information, social media profile information and, in order to determine your eligibility for a contest or promotion, your full or partial dates of birth. ChatbotsPlace may share your personal data with our marketing agencies and partners to carry out our marketing campaigns, contests and promotions. If you wish to unsubscribe from our marketing, please follow the opt-out link in the communications you receive from us.
Product Registration: If you use ChatbotsPlace services, you may choose to establish a ChatbotsPlace user account. A ChatbotsPlace user account profile may include your username, password, settings, preferences, contact information, device ID information, and related data. ChatbotsPlace may share this information with other ChatbotsPlace subsidiaries and affiliates and vendors and suppliers, such as third-party hosting partners. Certain ChatbotsPlace product settings, preference information, applications history and location-based information may be used by ChatbotsPlace product development and improvement and customer service teams if you choose to enable enhanced customer support services.
Customer Service & Support: If you choose to interact with ChatbotsPlace customer service and support – whether it be via our website, social media, chat, email or phone – ChatbotsPlace customer service teams (some of whom work for outsourced vendors and suppliers of ChatbotsPlace) may have access to your account information, product information, contact information and payment information. You may also be required to answer certain security questions to verify your identity and your call or session with ChatbotsPlace customer support may be recorded for quality and training purposes.
Job Opportunities: You may choose to apply for employment opportunities at ChatbotsPlace through the ChatbotsPlace website. If you complete an application for a job at ChatbotsPlace, we may collect your contact information, job history info and certain other information that may be required or allowed under applicable laws to screen candidates for employment. We may share this information with other ChatbotsPlace subsidiaries and affiliates and vendors and suppliers who provide us with candidate search and hiring services.
