Personal Information We Collect

“Personal information” means information about an identifiable individual as described under Canadian privacy laws.

Generally, personal information does not include any business contact information that is solely used to communicate with you in relation to your employment, business or profession, such as your name, position name or title, work address, work telephone number, work fax number or work e-mail address.

This Privacy Statement does not apply to the extent we process personal information in the role of a processor or service provider on behalf of our customers. Where we process personal information in the role of a processor or service provider on behalf of our customers, it is that customer’s privacy practices and policies, including their privacy statement, that applies; we conduct such activities strictly in accordance with our customer’s instructions and pursuant to our contractual arrangements with the customer. If you are an end user or consumer with an existing relationship with one of our customers, you should refer to the customer’s website to understand their privacy practices and policies.

We may collect, use, and disclose different types of personal information, depending on our relationship with you. Generally, we collect the following types of personal information, which you provide to us (not all of which may apply to you):

• User login information. We require that all users have an account and this requires that you provide your name and email address, and create a password. You may also provide a profile photo or select an avatar.
• Transaction and billing information. Our customers provide billing and payment information to purchase our services, such as company name, billing address, payment details, and contact information for an appropriate representative.
• Contact information and other personal information you provide while communicating with us. You may also provide us information when you communicate with our team for support.
• Credentials for Integrations. Depending on the integrations you configure on Flightpath, you may provide us with additional email addresses, phone numbers, credentials or login information for the purpose of connecting Flightpath with third-party services such as: notifications or billing platforms.
• Communicating with Us. You may also provide us information when you communicate with members of our team such as through a support request.

Generally, we collect the following types of personal information automatically as you use our services (not all of which may apply to you):

• Platform usage/user information. Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically provide, such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access and operating system. We collect log information when you use our services, such as when you create or make changes to your account.
• Time zone. We collect your browser’s reported time zone. We use the collected time zone to correct the times we display from UTC to a more suitable time for each user.

We also collect, use, and share aggregated and anonymized data for any purpose. For example, we may publish aggregate statistics about the use of our services or trends within the larger podcast publishing industry. Aggregated and anonymized data is not considered personal information because it cannot be used to identify you.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We generally use your personal information for the following purposes:

• to provide our services, such as, to set up and maintain your account or charge you for use of our services;
• to further develop and improve our services (i.e., understanding what features are being used, what new features might be needed and/or helping users use our services more effectively);
• to monitor and prevent any problems with our services, including to protect the security of our services, fight spam, and protect the rights and property of Flightpath and other service providers, which may cause us declining the use of our services;

We do not use your personal information to engage in interest-based or behavioral advertising of our services across third-party websites or service offerings.

How We Share Your Personal Information

We generally identify to whom, and for what purposes, we will disclose your personal information (and we obtain your consent to such disclosure) at the time we collect your personal information.

We may disclose your information when we believe such disclosure is required or permitted by law. In addition, we may disclose your personal information to a third party in the event of any significant business transaction, such as a merger or reorganization.

We rely on service providers to perform a variety of services on our behalf, such as payment card processors, SMS and email delivery services, technical support providers, and data storage and processing service providers. If we transfer your personal information to a service provider, we require that they maintain the confidentiality of your personal information and keep it secure. We also require that our service providers comply with applicable privacy laws and only use your personal information for the limited purposes for which it is provided.
