This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our website pikelolimited.com, our email newsletters subscription or our pages/ads on social media networks (collectively, the Services). It explains our collection, use, storage, and sharing of the information that we collect or receive from you. You also find description of your right to control data use.
The information we may gather about you can personally identify you — either on its own or when combined with other information. We will only collect your personal data in line with applicable laws. We collect your personal data in various ways:
When you place an order for our services (e.g., a contact form filling on our website, contact us via email), we collect your name and contact information. We also collect information from you over our further negotiations regarding the order.
When you sign up to receive marketing emails from us, we collect your email address.
We may use tracking technologies in your browser that include cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags and scripts, etc. We track and store data about how you visit and use the Services, particularly through our website pikelolimited.com. The items we log include:
We combine this data with other information we collect about you. For more information about tracking methods on the Services, and how to manage them, read Section 7 (Cookies and similar tracking technologies) of this policy.
Social media platforms include Facebook and LinkedIn. We receive information from you when you interact with our pages, groups, accounts or posts on social media platforms. This includes aggregate data on our followers (e.g., age, gender and location), engagement data (e.g., "likes," comments, shares, reposts and clicks), awareness data (e.g., number of impressions and reach) and individual users' public profiles.
We use your information to help you use Services, such as:
We may analyze data on our users' purchase and usage behaviors. This helps us make business and marketing decisions.
Google Analytics is one of the analytics providers we use. You can find out how Google Analytics uses data and how to opt out of Google Analytics.
We market our properties to you. Sometimes we use marketing vendors to do this.
We serve ads through websites, locations, platforms and services operated and owned by third parties. Often these ads are targeted at people who have visited our website but have not purchased anything. The ads are also targeted at people with similar traits or behaviors to our customers.
We target our advertising to these users by uploading an encrypted customer list to a third party, or by incorporating a tracking technology from a third party onto our website. The third party then matches individuals who appear in both our data and their data.
Sometimes we aggregate or de-identify information so that it can no longer identify you, under applicable laws. This helps us better understand and represent our users, such as when we measure ad performance, create advertising interest-based segments or compile survey results. We can use and disclose this aggregated or de-identified information for any purpose, unless an applicable law says otherwise.
We only collect, use or share information about you when we have a valid reason. Specifically, this is one of the following:
We provide your personal information to unaffiliated third parties if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process; (b) protect the interests, rights, safety, or property of us or others; (c) monitor compliance with and enforce any terms of service on our website; (d) provide our services and products; (e) perform other activities related to such services and products, including billing and collection; (f) provide you with offers, promotions or advertisements; or (g) operate the systems that provide our services and products properly.
For example, we may employ service providers to process payments; host or store our data; deliver email messages; or analyze data.
We do not share in other way or sell your personal information.
We do not aim any of our services directly at children under the age of eighteen (18). Subsequently we do not knowingly collect personal data about children under eighteen (18) years old. If you know that we process personal data of user under eighteen (18) years old, please inform us by sending email at info@pikelolimited.com.
We keep your personal data for only as long as we need to. How long we need your personal data depends on what we are using it for, as set out in this privacy policy. For example, we may need to use it to answer your queries about a product or service and as a result may keep personal data while you are still using our product or services. We may also need to keep your personal data for accounting purposes, for example, where you have bought a subscription. If we no longer need your data, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you. If we have asked for your permission to process your personal data and we have no other lawful grounds to continue with that processing, and you withdraw your permission, we will delete your personal data. Nevertheless, when you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we will keep your email address to ensure that we do not send you any marketing in future.
We may use cookies and similar tracking methods (such as pixels, SDKs, JavaScript, device identifiers, etc., which we refer to as "trackers") when you visit our website. Four of the main types are explained below.
A cookie is a small string of text that a website (or online service) stores on a user's browser. It saves data on your browser about your visit to our website or other websites. It often includes a unique identifier (e.g., cookie #123). You can choose whether to accept cookies by editing your browser settings. However, if cookies are refused, your experience on our website may be worse, and some features may not work as intended.
Pixels (also known as "web beacons," "GIFs" or "bugs") are one-pixel transparent images located on web pages or messages. They track whether you have opened these web pages or messages. Upon firing, a pixel logs a visit to the current page or message and may read or set cookies. Pixels often rely on cookies to work, so turning off cookies can impair them. But even if you turn off cookies, pixels can still detect a web page visit.
JavaScript is a programming language. It can be used to write trackers that, when embedded into a page, allow us to measure how you interact with our website and other websites.
In order to decide what type of ad might interest you, our digital and marketing vendors sometimes link data — inferred from your browsing of other websites or collected from other sources — using a method knowns as "ID synching" or "cookie synching." To do this, they match the tracker ID they have assigned to you with one or more tracker IDs that are held in another company's database and that are likely also associated with you. Any of the linked trackers may have certain interests and other demographic information attributed to it. That information is then used to determine which ad to show you.
Below is a list of the types of trackers that appear on our website.
Essential trackers are required for our site to operate. They allow you to navigate our site and use its services and features. Without essential trackers, our site will not run smoothly; in fact, our site (or certain services or features) might not even be available to you simply because of technical limitations.
Preference trackers allow us to store information about your choices, settings and preferences. They also help us recognize you when you return to our website, remember your language settings (among others) and customize our website accordingly. They are not essential to the functioning of our website.
Analytics trackers collect or use information about your site use, which helps us improve our site. Among the uses of analytics trackers are to show us which pages are most frequently visited, help us record difficulties you have with our site, track subscription purchases and behaviors leading to subscription purchases, and measure how well ads perform.
These trackers add up our readers' visits to show us larger patterns in our audience. We look at these larger patterns to analyze site traffic.
These trackers help us determine which ads to show you for Times properties — both on our site and on other sites. To do this, these trackers use information about your behavior on various sites to target our ads.
These trackers allow us to limit the number of times you see our ad across your devices. They help us personalize the ads we show you. They also enable us to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns (e.g., measure if you subscribe after seeing our ads).
When you first come to our website, you may receive a notification that trackers are present. By clicking or tapping "accept," you agree to the use of these trackers as described here.
You can manage your tracker settings by opting out of specific (or all) trackers.
In addition to the options above, you can refuse or accept trackers from our website (or any other site) in your browser's settings. If you refuse trackers, you might not be able to use some tracker dependent features of our website.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but this is typically something you can adjust. Information for each browser can be found in the links below:
For more information about other browsers, please refer to this "All About Cookies" guide. To opt out of Google Analytics data collection, follow these Google instructions.
The third-party advertisers, ad agencies and other vendors with which we work may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioural Advertising and/or the European Digital Advertising Alliance. To opt out of interest-based advertising from the participating companies, please visit AboutAds.info or the European Digital Advertising Alliance. Note that opting out through these channels does not mean you will no longer see ads. You will still receive other types of ads from these companies, and any type of ad from nonparticipating companies. The sites you visit may still collect your information for other purposes.

The list of rights protected under the law is as follows:

We typically do our best to answer you as soon as possible or within the reasonable period taking into account the complexity of the request, but in case we are processing a large amount of requests, the answer may take us longer than you might expect.
