Privacy Policy for Cohub42

Effective Date: 2024-01-25

Cohub42 (“Cohub42,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), together with its affiliates, parent company, and subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”), is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of personal data from and about visitors and users (“you”) of Cohub42’s services, including our websites, mobile applications, and other online programs or platforms (collectively, the “Services”).

By visiting and/or voluntarily providing personal data to us through or in connection with the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the practices contained in this Privacy Policy. If you are providing information on behalf of a third party, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to do so and that you have provided that third party a copy of this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is subject to our Terms of Use (or any other agreement applicable to your use of the Services). Depending on your activities on our Services, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy frequently as it may change from time to time.

A. Types of Information We Collect

We and our service providers collect various types of information from and about you, which generally falls into two categories:

  1. Personal Data
    Information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual. Examples include your name, email address, telephone number, physical address, payment information, date of birth, and other similar information.

    • This also may include information that may not be personally identifiable standing alone (e.g., age), but which may become personally identifiable when combined with other data (e.g., age plus your name).

  2. Non-Personal Data
    Information that on its own cannot identify you, such as aggregate data or demographic information. For instance, this may include analytics data about how users navigate or interact with our Services. Non-personal data may also be aggregated with other data to help us measure trends and usage.

How We Collect Information

  • Directly from You
    When you register for the Services, complete forms, make purchases, or otherwise interact with us (e.g., submitting inquiries or applying for programs).

  • Automatically
    As you navigate our Services, we may collect information through cookies, pixels, web beacons, log files, and similar technologies. This may include usage data (e.g., your browsing actions, search queries, and time spent on pages), device information (e.g., IP address, operating system, browser type), and location data.

  • From Third Parties
    We may obtain information from third parties such as service providers, social media platforms (if you choose to link your accounts), analytics providers, and marketing partners.
