(b) Information Automatically Collected
Cookies. As indicated above, we may use cookies to automatically collect information when individuals use
our Online Services. Cookies are small text files that can be placed on your device by websites, apps, or even
certain online ads. They are bits of code that help the websites and apps function, remember user preferences
(e.g., to remember settings related to language and font size), and understand how visitors use the website
and app. Cookies can also be used for advertising purposes, such as to provide advertisements to individuals
based on their interests.
Some cookies only last while the user is using the website or app and then expire when the website or app is
closed. Other cookies can stay on an individual’s device for days, months, or even longer, until they expire
or the individual deletes them. Cookies can be set either by the website or app owner (these are sometimes
called “first-party” cookies) or by the owner’s service providers, such as analytics or advertising partners
(these are often called “third-party” cookies).
We may use first- and third-party cookies on our Online Services to make the Online Services more
responsive to your needs, by delivering a better and more personalized experience to you. We may use these
cookies to identify you as a valid user, store your preferences, and help us understand how users use our
Online Services so we can improve them.
We may automatically receive or collect the following information through cookies: IP address, IP location,
browser type, browser language, device characteristics, internet connection, resource requested, date and
time of resource requested, HTTP referring resource (if provided by the browser), usage data, persistent
electronic identifiers, operating system, and/or clickstream data. We may aggregate this data, and may
combine this data with other information we collect about users to better understand how visitors use our
Online Services, improve user experience, and to help manage, maintain, and report on use of our Online
Services. We may also store IP addresses for fraud detection and prevention purposes.
You can control cookies through your Cookie Preferences settings (available at
https://claimant.app.statuo.com/ or through your browser or device settings. However, some features of our
Online Services, or the entirety of our Online Services, may not work if cookies are blocked, limited, or
deleted. You may learn more about cookies and how to opt out of them by visiting the following third-party
website: https://allaboutcookies.org/.
Pixels. We may use pixels on our Online Services (also known as web beacons), which are code embedded
within a service. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are one-pixel transparent
images) and JavaScript pixels (which contain JavaScript code). Pixels are often associated with cookies and
are used for similar purposes. When you access a service that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us or a
third party to drop or read cookies on your browser, or collect other information about your browser or
device. Pixels may collect and send IP addresses, URLs, and other information from an advertisement that
you click associated with your visit to our Online Services to other third-parties.

about the areas visited on the Site (such as the pages most read, time spent, search terms and other
engagement data) in order to evaluate and improve the user experience and the Site. For more information

4. Access, Update, & Delete Personal Data
To ensure that your personal data is accurate and up-to-date, we encourage you to regularly review and
update your information as appropriate (e.g., in the event your phone number or email address changes).
You can review and request we update or delete your personal data by contacting us at support@statuo.com,
and, for certain types of information, you may be able to make the changes through your Statuo account. To
protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before we disclose,
make any corrections to, or delete such information. If you request to update or delete your personal data, we
will endeavor to do so in a timely manner. Occasionally, personal data that you request to be removed will
be retained in certain files for a period of time in order to properly resolve disputes or to troubleshoot
problems. In addition, some types of personal data may be stored indefinitely on “back up” systems or
within log files due to technical constraints or financial or legal requirements. Therefore, you should not
always expect that all of your personal data will be completely purged from our databases in response to
your request.

we securely delete or de-identify it in accordance with applicable law. We reserve the right to use de-
identified data for any legitimate purpose without further notice or consent.

7. Security Safeguards

modification, and disclosure, and to maintain its accuracy and integrity, we have implemented reasonable
technical, physical, and administrative security measures. Although we have implemented reasonable

secure. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent
disclosure of your personal data except to the extent required by applicable law.
