The code does not identify you directly, but it may be used to connect your activity and interests.

Combination of Personal and Non-Identifying Information: We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information, but Carbon Results will treat the combined information as Personal Information.

The technology used to collect information automatically from Carbon Results Users may include cookies, web beacons, and embedded scripts. In addition, we and our marketing partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers may use a variety of other technologies (such as tags) that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes and we may use third parties to perform these services on our behalf.

For further information on cookies and how they are used for the Service, please visit our Cookie Policy at www.CarbonResults.com/legal#cookie-policy.

 

  1. Work Diaries and Work View

With your permission, we collect information about a Team Member’s work for a Client, including automatically collected information about work on a particular project. If a Team member enables work diaries, we will share work diaries with the relevant Client. We tell Team members when we are capturing information for the Work Diary and allow Team members to block such data sharing.

As part of the Service, when enabled by a Team member, we collect information about a Team member’s work on a project for a Client, including information that may be considered personal information. This feature is known as Work Diary. Work Diaries include information provided by the Team member, such as a memo, as well as automatically gathered information about work on a project, such as number of mouseclicks and keyboard strokes and regularly taken screenshots (which may include a webcam picture of you if you have enabled this feature in your settings). In order to use Work Diaries, you must download and install third party software of the Client’s choice.

We will share information contained in Work Diaries with the relevant Client and with any manager or administrator of any applicable Client. We inform Team members each time we capture information for Work Diary. As set forth in our Terms of Service, End User License Agreement, and help pages on the Site, a Team member may choose to block or delete the screen shot and associated data for a recorded work interval. Carbon Results may use de-identified or aggregated information from Work Diaries for statistical analysis, product development, marketing and research.
