Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We collect information from popular social media platforms via application programming interfaces (APIs) and similar tools that facilitate data collection on those platforms. Most of this data includes information that users make public on those platforms, for example, the content users post and share, user comments on content posted by others, and the brands or personalities that users follow. In some instances, we may supplement this data with additional data provided by third parties. We may then analyze this information to understand users’ interests or other things about them. Some of this data may constitute “personal information” under applicable privacy or data protection laws. The information that we collect falls into different categories, for example:

- Identifiers, such as name, username, screen name, email address, physical address, social network identifier, and other similar identifiers.
- Commercial information, including information about products or services users have obtained, or user purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies (if users share such information in public posts or comments).
- Internet or other electronic network activity information, including information about the platforms users use, videos viewed, channels subscribed to, and links that users share with other users.
- Audio, visual, and similar information, such as links to content that users create, post, share, or view, user profile pictures, and other similar audio or visual information.
- Approximate location information, for example, city, state, or zip code (if a user includes that information in a profile or post). (Note that ICX does not collect precise location information.)
- Demographic information as inferred from user profiles, comments, and posts, for example gender, ethnicity, household income, and approximate age.
- Inferences, including inferences about users’ interests, product preferences and brand affinities, political affiliation, and other inferences.
- Other information that users may include in public posts, comments, pages, and content.
