1.     Personal Data and Aggregate Information

“Personal Data” refers to information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, phone number, email, approximate geographic location of your computer or device, or postal address, possibly information relating to certain support or customer service issues, and information about the products you purchase, when those pieces of data are stored with your name. 

While some experiences will not prompt a collection of Personal Data, you generally need to provide us with Personal Data to use most of the features of the Edge Platform and Services, including to allow us to provide you with certain personalized or enhanced Services. How we collect and store information depends on the Services in which you elect to participate.

From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Edge Platform or Services. This information represents a generic overview of our Users’ collective viewing habits and allows us and other third parties to modify information, promotions, offers, and/or discounts on Services based on User traffic and behavior.  We collect this information using technologies such as “cookies”, which are discussed in greater detail below.  We collect this information to determine, for example, which areas of the Edge Platform are most popular and to enhance the Edge Platform.  We may also group this information into aggregate data to describe the use of the Edge Platform to our existing or potential business partners or other third parties, or in response to a government request.  From time to time, we may use this information to optimize third-party offers of products and/or services.  We also may share aggregated demographic and preference data to third parties to enable the provision of targeted information. However, please be assured that this aggregate data in no way will it personally identify you or any other Users.

2.     Information Edge May Collect From You

Edge receives and stores any information you enter on the Edge Platform or give to us in any other way. Types of information you may provide include:

●      Contact Information. When you sign up for an Account or registering for a Service,  you may be required to give us your name, email address, street address, billing address, and phone number, and additional information that enables you to sign up for and use the Edge Platform and Services. 

●      Payment Information. While we strive to use a third party service provider to process payments, from time to time, we may collect Personal Data such as your credit card number or expiration date when you use our Services.  

●      Information You Submit or Post. We may collect information you submit to us using any of our feedback tools or website questionnaires. For example, when you contact customer support, we may receive your name, email address, phone number, the contents of a message or attachments that you may send to us, and other information you choose to provide.

●      Phone Information. If you have installed the Edge Platform or use the Edge Platform on your mobile device or tablet, it may require special permission such as access to the camera, microphone, pictures, location, read and write external storage, network access, etc., those permissions allow the Edge Platform to work properly on your device.  If you do not allow all required permission to the Edge Platform, it may not work properly.

Edge may also collect information and data provided by you from our responses to surveys that we might ask for research purposes to improve our Services. Edge may post testimonials on the Edge Platform.
