Overview

Demand.io (or "we", "us" or "our") hosts and operates an e-commerce ecosystem (the "Platform") through a network of innovative shopping apps, websites and digital platforms, including knoji.com, dealspotr.com, stylespotter.com, simplycodes.com and other sites we may add, e.g., fave.ly (individually, a "Site" and collectively, the "Sites"). Among other things, we help (a) social media influencers and creators ("Influencers") connect and collaborate with brands, advertisers and marketing agencies ("Brands") to create content ("Content") for sponsored marketing campaigns ("Campaign"), and (b) Brands create and run Campaigns by connecting and collaborating with Influencers to create Content for their Campaigns.

We sometimes refer to those who use or access our Platform or Services as "Users", and "your" or "you", as the context may require. If you access the Platform or use the Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that legal entity and, in such event, "your" or "you" means that legal entity. In addition, in these Terms, unless the context requires otherwise, words in one gender include all genders and words in the singular include the plural and vice-versa.

Privacy Policy

Information you provide to us

    • (a) Some Services we offer may not require you to register for an account or provide any personally identifiable information to us, such as viewing articles and reviews and information about our Services. But for access to the Sites, Services and functionality of our Platform, you will need to register and/or create an account ("Account") with us.
    • (b) and collect the following types of information of personally identifiable information from you: first and last name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, social security number, and date of birth. For certain services, such as our advertising or user submission (e.g. coupon codes, review, etc.) programs, we also request credit card or other payment account information (including PayPal account information) which we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers. (All of the foregoing personally identifiable information shall be referred to hereafter as "Personal Information.")
    • (c) We may collect Personal Data from you, such as your first and last name, location, phone number, gender, email and mailing addresses, and password when you create an account to log in to our Platform ("Account").
    • (d) When you post content or make edits to your profile biography (text, images, photographs, messages, comments or any other kind of content) on various social platforms, the information contained in your posting may be stored on our servers and other users will be able to see it, along with your profile photo and any other information that you choose to make public on your public profile page ("Profile"). The information that you provide in your Profile will be visible to others.
    • (e) We may also collect Personal Data at other points on our Site and Service that state that Personal Data is being collected.

Information collected via technology

  • Information collected by our servers

    To make our Site and Service more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol ("IP") address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.

  • Log Files

    As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider ("ISP"), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users' movements around the Site, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Site and Service to our users' needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Site or use our Service again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically collected data to Personal Data.

  • Cookies

    Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive user experience. This type of information is collected to make our Site and Service more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs.

  • Pixel tags

    In addition, we use Pixel Tags (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). "Pixel Tags" are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are used to track online movements of Web users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send email messages in a format that users can read, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user. We do not tie the information gathered by Pixel Tags to our users' Personal Data.

  • Links

    We may keep track of how you interact with links across our Site and Service, including our email notifications, third-party services, and client applications, by redirecting clicks or through other means. We do this to help improve our Site and Service, for example to provide relevant advertising, and to be able to share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular link was clicked on.

  • Affiliated sites

    We offer some of our Service in connection with other third parties, and Personal Information that you provide to those third parties may be sent to Demand.io in order to deliver the Service. We process your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, however, such third parties may have different privacy practices. Therefore, we encourage you to read their privacy policies prior to disclosing any Personal Information.

  • Google Analytics

    We use Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Site. Google Analytics uses Cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site and use Services, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our Site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Site and Service. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site, rather than your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with your Personal Data. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site and use Services, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Site and use of Service is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

Information collected from you

  • Creating an account and profile information

    To use certain features of the Service, you may be required to provide information such as your name, username, password, email address, mailing address, zip code, telephone number, gender, age verification and/or country of residence. You may optionally provide us with additional profile information, including a short bio, location, profile picture and other information (collectively "Personal Information"). You may update or modify your profile information and contact information at any time. Profile information may be available publicly on our Site, such as on your profile page. In addition to using your contact information to create your Account, we may use this information to send you information about our Service, respond to your requests and facilitate use of the Site. We may use your name, email address and other information you provide to notify you of new products, releases, service notifications, events and to solicit your feedback and input. We may also use your Personal Information to send you marketing materials or newsletters and to improve the Service.

    When you contact us via email, the email address you use to communicate with us will be subject to this Privacy Policy.

The contents of your email communications including any information, resumes, ideas, concepts or inventions, will not be subject to this Privacy Policy. We may keep a record of your communications with us and use the contents of those communications for any purpose.

  • Information collected from third party companies

    We may receive Personal and/or Anonymous Data about you from companies that provide our Service by way of a co-branded or private-labeled website, companies that offer their products and/or services through our Service, and/or companies that otherwise collect such information.

Our policy toward children using our service

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects the online privacy of children under thirteen (13) years of age. Our Service is not intended for individuals under the age of thirteen (13). If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without his or her consent, please contact us at contact@demand.io. We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personal Information from children under 13, unless or except as permitted by law. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we take steps to remove such information and terminate the child's account unless we receive verifiable parental consent. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information to us without their parent's or legal guardian's permission.

Security of your personal data and information security

Demand.io is committed to protecting the security of your Personal Data. We use a variety of industry-standard security technologies and procedures to help protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We employ administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet that are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party. Despite this, we will make any legally-required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored Personal Information to you via email or conspicuous posting on this Site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system. We also require you to enter a password to access your Account information. Please do not disclose your Account password to unauthorized people. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while Demand.io uses reasonable efforts to protect your Personal Data, Demand.io cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally for any reason, without advanced notice to you. We will notify you of any changes to our Privacy Policy by posting the new Privacy Policy here: https://knoji.com/privacy/. You should consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes. Continued use of our Site or Service, following posting of those changes, shall indicate your acknowledgment of the changes and agreement to be bound by the terms of those changes. If you do not agree, you should immediately discontinue your use of the Site or Service.
