This is the Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") of Signpost Inc. ("Signpost" or "us" or "we"). The Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use, store and disclose information about you (“Information”) related to your use and access to the Signpost website at www.signpost.com, any subdomains of www.signpost.com, and any other website pages on which services are provided by us and the Signpost Solution (collective, the “Services”). Our Terms of Service, which incorporates by reference this Privacy Policy, governs your use of our Services, any content or information therein.
We collect "Non-Personal Information" and "Personal Information." Non-Personal Information includes information that cannot be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal Information includes information that can be linked to a specific individual, such as a name and/or your business' name, address, telephone number, email address, payment information and other information which you submit to us through the Services.
We have collected the following categories of Information in the preceding twelve (12) months:
1. Information collected via Technology
We use “cookies” and other technologies to collect Information that enables us to better understand and improve the usability, performance and effectiveness of the Services.
In an effort to improve the quality of the Services, we track information provided to us by your browser when you view the Services, such as your Internet service provider, the website you came from (known as the "referring URL"), the type of browser you use, your operating system, the device from which you connected to the Services, the time and date of access, the pages viewed, time spent at our Services, the sites visited just before and just after using our Services, and other information that does not personally identify you. We track this information using cookies, or small text files which include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are a feature of web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a site. They are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on one site to simplify subsequent interactions with that site by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user's transaction on related web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from site to site and to complete transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
Cookies are sent to a user's browser from our servers and are stored on the user's computer hard drive. Sending a cookie to a user's browser enables us to collect Information about that user and keep a record of the user's preferences when utilizing our services, both on an individual and aggregate basis.
Signpost uses both persistent and session cookies; persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your session and until you delete them, while session cookies expire when you close your browser.
If you do not wish to transmit cookie information about yourself, you may turn off the cookie function in your web browser; please consult the "Help" section of your web browser to correctly do so. If you elect to turn off cookies, however, you may not be able to access certain features of the Services and your use of some portions of the Services may be affected.

We use third parties’ analytic and tracking tools to better understand who is using the Services, how people are using the Services and how to improve the effectiveness of the Site and Service and their content[, and to help those parties serve more targeted advertising to you across the Internet or help us serve more targeted advertising to you]. Those third party companies may use cookies, pixel tags or other technologies to collect and store Non-Personal Information such as time of visit, pages visited, time spent on the Services, device identifiers, type of operating system used and other website(s) you may have visited. They might combine Information they collect from your interaction with the Services with Personal Information they collect from other sources. We do not have access to, nor control over, third parties' use of cookies or other tracking technologies.
Web beacons
Our Service contains electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) and are used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our Service is used and may be used in some of our emails to let us know which emails and links have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our customer communications and marketing campaigns.
