Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 31, 2024

Thank you for using RelocationOnline Hosted Relocation Services.

We respect the privacy of our users. We collect, use, and disclose personal data from you as described in this Privacy Policy.

For your reference: "We", "Us" or "Our" refers to RelocationOnline Inc. the provider of this website and any related mobile site or app that links to this Privacy Policy (the "Sites"), and the products or services made available through the Sites and apps (collectively including the Sites, the "Services").

Our Services are intended for and provided to businesses and other organizations that provide relocation services ("Service Users"). Service Users may use our Services to deliver relocation support to individual end-users or consumers ("Relocation Users"), in which case the Service Users may direct us to process personal data of Relocation Users. When we do, we do so as a "service provider" or a "data processor" working on behalf of the Service Users, and do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of the Service Users. If you are a Relocation User using our Services through one of the Service Users, you should read the Service User's privacy statement and direct any privacy inquiries to that organization.

Furthermore, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the privacy practices of third parties whose links may appear on or through the Sites or to any websites or services that link to different privacy policies. Please note that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third parties or other users.

Personal Data we collect

The personal data we collect depends on how you interact with us, the Services you use, and the choices you make.

We collect data about you in various ways when you use our Services, including information you provide directly, information collected automatically, information from third-party data sources, and data we infer or generate from other data.

Information you provide directly

We collect personal data you provide to us. For example:

  • Name and contact information. We collect your full name, username or alias, and other contact details such as email address, postal address, and phone number.
  • Payment information. If you make a purchase or other financial transaction, we collect credit card numbers, financial account information, and other payment details.
  • Content and files. We collect the photos, documents, or other files you upload to our Services; and if you send us email messages or other communications and include any documents or files as attachments to such communications, we collect and retain those communications. You may also provide certain optional information associated with your profile such as a profile picture.

Information collected automatically

We may automatically collect information related to your use of the Services. For example:

  • Identifiers and device information. When you visit our Sites, our web servers automatically log your Internet Protocol (IP) address and information about your device, including device identifiers (such as MAC address), device type and operating system, browser, and other software including type, version, language, settings and configuration. As further described in the "Cookies, Mobile IDs, and Similar Technologies" section below, we also use cookies and related technologies such as web beacons to better understand your needs, remember your preferences, and improve the site.
  • Geolocation data. Depending on your device and app settings, we collect geolocation data when you use our Services.
  • Usage data. We automatically log your activity on our Services, including the URL of the website from which you came to our sites, pages you viewed, how long you spent on a page, access times, and other details about your use of and actions on our Sites.

Information we create or generate

We infer new information from other data we collect, including using automated means to generate information about your likely preferences or other characteristics ("inferences"). For example, we infer your general geographic location (such as city, state, and country) based on your IP address.

Information we obtain from third-party sources

We also obtain the types of information described above from third parties. These third-party sources include, for example:

  • Third party partners. Third party applications and services, including any third-parties you choose to connect with or interact with through our Services.
  • Service providers. Third parties that collect or provide data in connection with work they do on our behalf, for example companies that determine your device's location based on its IP address
  • Co-branding/marketing partners. Partners with which we offer co-branded services or engage in joint marketing activities.
  • Publicly available sources. Public sources of information such as open government databases.

When you are asked to provide personal data, you may decline. And you may use web browser or operating system controls to prevent certain types of automatic data collection. But if you choose not to provide or allow information that is necessary for certain services or features, those services or features may not be available or fully functional.

Cookies, Mobile IDs, and similar technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, mobile analytics, and similar technologies to operate our Services and to help collect data, including usage data, identifiers, and device information.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed by a website and stored by your browser on your device. A cookie can later be read when your browser connects to a web server in the same domain that placed the cookie. The text in a cookie contains a string of numbers and letters that may uniquely identify your device and can contain other information as well. This allows the web server to recognize your browser over time, each time it connects to that web server.

Web beacons are electronic images (also called single-pixel or clear GIFs) that are contained within a website or email. When your browser opens a webpage or email that contains a web beacon, it automatically connects to the web server that hosts the image (typically operated by a third party). This allows that web server to log information about your device and to set and read its own cookies. In the same way, third-party content on our Sites (such as embedded videos or plug-ins) results in your browser connecting to the third-party web server that hosts that content. Our Services including any emails we may send you may contain web beacons. Web beacons are used to monitor user activity and other related web statistics.

How do we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies?

We, and our analytics partners, use these technologies in our Services to collect personal data (such as the pages you visit, the links you click on, and similar usage information, identifiers, and device information) when you use our Services, including personal data about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services. This information is used to store your preferences and settings, enable you to sign-in, analyze how our Services perform, track your interaction with the Sites, develop inferences, combat fraud, and fulfill other legitimate purposes. We and/or our partners also share the information we collect or infer with third parties for these purposes.

The third-party analytics providers we use on our websites include, for example:

Company/Service
Google Analytics
Purpose(s)
Analytics
Privacy Notices
Manage Settings (opt-out)

Please consult the respective privacy policies and statements of these third parties for more information, including how to opt-out from their use of cookie data for targeted advertising purposes. You may also use the advertising and cookie controls described below.

What controls are available?

  • Browser cookie controls. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can go to your browser settings to learn how to delete or reject cookies. If you choose to delete or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Sites. If you choose to delete cookies, settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including advertising preferences, may be deleted and may need to be recreated.
  • Email web beacons. Most email clients have settings which allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images, including web beacons, which prevents the automatic connection to the web servers that host those images.
  • Do Not Track. Some browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" (DNT) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Sites do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the cookie controls and advertising controls described herein.

  • Public Information. You may also choose to share information through the Service by posting content that is visible to other users or by sending messages to other users. Information that is posted in semi-public portions of the Sites may be available to other users of the Services. Please be mindful of your own privacy needs and those of others as you choose what to share and make public. We cannot control the privacy or security of information you choose to make public.

Third party analytics and advertising companies also collect personal data through our Services including identifiers and device information (such as cookie IDs, device IDs, and IP address), geolocation data, usage data, and inferences based on and associated with that data, as described in the Cookies section of this Privacy Policy. These third party vendors may combine this data across multiple sites to improve analytics for their own purpose and others.

For example, we use Google Analytics on our website to help us understand how users interact with our Sites; you can learn how Google collects and uses information at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.

Please note that some of our Services include integrations, references, or links to services provided by third parties whose privacy practices differ from ours. If you provide personal data to any of those third parties, or allow us to share personal data with them, that data is governed by their privacy statements.

Finally, we may share de-identified information in accordance with applicable law.

Location of personal data

The personal data we collect may be stored and processed in your country or region as well as any other country or region where we or our affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers sprocess data. Some of these countries or regions may have laws that offer different levels of data protection than the country in which you reside. Currently, we primarily use data centers in Ireland. Our storage location(s) are chosen in order to operate efficiently, to improve performance, and to create redundancies in order to protect the data in the event of an outage or other problem. We take steps designed to ensure that the data we collect under this Privacy Policy is processed according to the provisions of this Privacy Policy and applicable law wherever the data is located.

We transfer personal data from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland to other countries, some of which have not been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection. When we do so, we use a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts, to help ensure your rights and protections. To learn more about the European Commission’s decisions on the adequacy of personal data protections, please visit:https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en

Data storage and retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Services and fullfill the transactions requested by you, to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, and for other legitimate and lawful business purposes. Because these needs can vary for different data types in the context of different products, actual retention periods can vary significantly. The criteria used to determine retention include:

  1. How long is the personal data needed to provide applicable Services? This includes such things as maintaining and improving the performance of the Sites, keeping our systems secure, and maintaining appropriate business and financial records.
  2. Do Service Users provide, create, or maintain the data with the expectation we will retain it until they affirmatively remove it? In such cases, we may maintain the data until actively deleted by the Service User.
  3. Are we subject to a legal, contractual, or similar obligation to retain the data? Examples can include mandatory data retention laws in the applicable jurisdiction, government orders to preserve data, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation.

Information choices

We provide a variety of ways for you to control the personal data we hold about you, including choices about how we use that data. In some jurisdictions, these controls and choices may be enforceable as rights under applicable law.

Access, portability, correction, and deletion.

If you have an account, you may view and update certain information we have about you by logging into your account.

If you otherwise wish to request to access, copy, download, correct, or delete of any of your personal data held by us or otherwise request a change in the way we use your information, please contact us at: privacy@relocationonline.com.

However, to the extent permitted by applicable law, RelocationOnline may decline requests where granting the request could adversely affect the privacy or other rights of another person, could reveal a trade secret or other confidential information, or could interfere with a legal or business obligation that requires retention or use of the data. Further, we may decline a request where we are unable to authenticate you as the person to whom the data relates, the request is unreasonable or excessive, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law. If you receive a response from us informing you that we have declined your request, in whole or in part, you may appeal that decision by submitting your appeal using the contact method described at the bottom of this privacy statement.

Email Marketing.

You can choose whether to receive promotional communications from us. Our marketing emails tell you how to "opt-out" of receiving further marketing emails. If you opt out of marketing emails, we may still send you non-marketing emails. Non-marketing emails include emails about your accounts and our business dealings with you, and as allowed by applicable law, requests for your participation in surveys. You may also contact us at privacy@relocationonline.com at any time to let us know that you no longer wish to receive further marketing emails.

Cookies and Tracking.

See the Cookies section for choices about cookies and other analytics and advertising controls.

European data protection rights

If the processing of personal data about you is subject to European Union data protection law, you have certain rights with respect to that data:
  • You can request access to, and rectification or erasure of, personal data;
  • If any automated processing of personal data is based on your consent or a contract with you, you have a right to transfer or receive a copy of the personal data in a usable and portable format;

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, but we encourage you to first contact us with any questions or concerns.

We rely on different lawful bases for collecting and processing personal data about you, for example, 1 with your consent and/or as necessary to provide the services you use, operate our business, meet our contractual and legal obligations, protect the security of our systems and our customers, or fulfil other legitimate interests.

We encourage you to help us by taking precautions when you use our Services and ask you to notify us immediately of any security issues or unauthorized use of your account.
