If you do not want information collected in these ways, it may be possible for you to adjust settings on the devices you use to access the Plentific Platform (e.g., a computer, smartphone or tablet). However, we cannot guarantee that such settings may be changed or will be effective and you assume all risks associated with your access to the Plentific Platform.

We may also collect Personal Information about you, either directly collected from your submissions during use of the Plentific Platform or indirectly through tracking technologies as described herein.
By “Personal Information”, we mean information that can be used to identify a specific individual. Personal Information may include, for example, name, email address, physical address, phone numbers, device identifiers, IP addresses, and/or software tools such as “cookies” (“Cookie Data”).
Your Personal Information may be used to operate the Plentific Platform generally and/or to provide a portion of the Plentific Platform you have requested or authorized specifically. Access to some Plentific Platform elements may necessitate use of Personal Information. We may collect your personal information when you participate in, access or sign up for the Plentific Platform or contact us via electronic mediums. Certain aspects of the Plentific Platform you have requested access may require that we provide Personal Information to third parties, further described herein.

We may additionally use your Personal Information to provide you with information about our services, such as new features or updates to the Plentific Platform, marketing, and/or to comply with applicable laws and law enforcement.
