Holloway publishes comprehensive, practical guides about how to navigate the complicated challenges of modern work, researched, written, and refined by experts. Our Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use and share your personal information and to assist you in exercising the privacy rights available to you.

SCOPE

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by Holloway, Inc. (“Holloway,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) in our business, including on our websites, mobile applications, and other online or offline offerings (collectively, the “Services”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information You Provide to Us

User Account Creation: When you create a user account, we collect your name, email address, username, and password. If you authorize us to use a third-party account to log-in to your Holloway Guide account, such as Twitter or Github, these third parties may collect your information and their terms and privacy policies will apply to the information they collect.

Payment and Purchasing Information. When you purchase access to one or more guides, we ask you to provide your contact information, email address and payment information. We use third party processors to collect your payment information.

Your Communications with Us. We collect personal information from you such as your name, email address, phone number, resume, company, social media links or mailing address when you request information about our Services, register for our newsletter, request customer or technical support, apply for a job, or otherwise communicate with us.

Surveys. We may contact you to participate in surveys. If you decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information which may include personal information.

Interactive Features. Holloway may offer interactive features such as commenting functionalities, review forums, chat services, and social media pages. Holloway and other individuals who use our Services may collect the information you submit or make available through these interactive features. Any information shared on the public sections of these channels will be considered “public” and may not be subject to the privacy protections referenced herein.

Registration for Sweepstakes or Contests. We may run sweepstakes and contests. Contact information you provide may be used to reach you about the sweepstakes or contest and for other promotional, marketing and business purposes, if permitted by law. In some jurisdictions, we are required to publicly share information of winners.

Automatic Data Collection. We may collect certain information automatically when you use the Services. This information may include your Internet protocol (IP) address, user settings, IMEI, MAC address, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, mobile advertising and other unique identifiers, details about your browser, operating system or device, location information (including inferred location based off of your IP address), Internet service provider, pages that you visit before, during and after using the Services, information about the links you click, and other information about how you use the Services. Information we collect may be associated with accounts and other devices.

In addition, we may automatically collect data regarding your use of our Services, such as the types of content you interact with and the frequency and duration of your activities.

Technologies, Analytics Information, and Personalized Advertising. We, as well as third parties that provide content, advertising, or other functionality on the Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, social media widgets, local storage, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information through the Services. Technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices that allow us and our partners to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our Services.

  • Cookies. Cookies are small text files placed in visitors’ computer browsers to store their preferences. Most browsers allow you to block and delete cookies. However, if you do that, the Services may not work properly.

  • Pixel Tags/Web Beacons. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded in the Services that collects information about users’ engagement on that web page. The use of a pixel allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement. We may also include web beacons in e-mails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.

  • Social Media Widgets. We may also use certain tools offered by Twitter, Github, Google, Facebook and LinkedIn that enable those parties to collect or receive information about actions users take on our site and elsewhere on the internet through the use of Technologies in order to provide login, measurement services, targeted ads and other services. These features may collect information such as your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. These social media features are either hosted by a third party or directly on our site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

    Analytics. We may use Google Analytics and other service providers to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on our Services. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Information from Other Sources

We may obtain information about you from other sources, including through third party services and organizations to supplement information provided by you. For example, if you access our Services through a third-party application, such as an app store, a third-party login service, or a social networking site, we may collect information about you from that third-party application that you have made available via your privacy settings.
