Information about you that we gather

Ink Hiveco collects information from you when we connect with you for the reasons listed below, such as running our business properly and giving you the best experience on our website. This information is given by you directly when you make an Ink Hiveco account, manage your organization's licensing account, send a search query to Bing, sign up for an Ink Hiveco event, upload a file to OneDrive, sign up for Ink Hiveco, or contact us. A small part of it goes to us because we collect data about how you use our website and get help from it. Besides that, we get information from Ink Hiveco's subsidiaries, allies, and other third parties.

We process your data for a number of legal reasons and permissions, which are sometimes called "legal bases." These include your permission, the need to enter into and perform contracts, and to meet our legal responsibilities. The reasons and bases for processing data are listed below.

Aside from that, we also get information from other sources. We protect data that we get from third parties by following the steps outlined in this statement and any other rules set by the source of the data. The following third-party sources change over time:

• We buy demographic data from data companies to add to the data we already have.
• Some solutions let other people see user-generated content from their service, like reviews of local businesses or public posts on social media.
• Service providers for communication, like email and social networks, when you permit us to view your information.
• Service providers that help us figure out where your gadget is.
• Partners with whom we give services under both of our brands or do marketing together.
• Developers who use Ink Hiveco's knowledge to make experiences.

This privacy statement has information about how we handle your data if you work for a company or school that uses Ink Hiveco. Visit the Enterprise and developer products section to learn more. See the "Ink Hiveco account" parts for more information if you are a user of an Ink Hiveco website or an Ink Hiveco account that your company gives you.

You can pick and choose what technology you use and what information you share. You can say no when asked to give sensitive information. To work and give you an answer, many of our sections need some personal information. You can't get to an area or feature if you don't give the information that is needed to run it and give you access to it. In the same way, if you don't give us the personal information we need by law or to enter into or carry out a deal with you, we won't be able to do either. If this is related to information you're already using, we may have to stop or cancel it. If this is the case, we will let you know at the time. If you don't want to share personal information and choose not to, tools like personalisation that need the information will not work for you.
