b. Non-Identifying Information and De-Identified Information

  • Non-Identifying Information/Usernames: We also may collect other information that does not identify you directly, such as zip codes, demographic data, information about your use of the Service, and general project-related data (“Non-Identifying Information”). We may combine information collected from Sourcer users, whether they are registered or not (“Sourcer Users”). In some cases, we may render Personal Information (generally, email address) into a form of Non-Identifying Information referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Hashed Information.” This is typically accomplished using a mathematical process (commonly known as a hash function) to convert information into a code. While the code does not identify you directly, it may be used by Sourcer’s partners to connect your activity and interests.
  • Combination of Personal and Non-Identifying Information: We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information, but Sourcer will treat the combined information as Personal Information.
  • De-Identified Information: We may also de-identify or aggregate information and convert it into non-personal information so that it can no longer reasonably be used to identify you (“De-Identified Information”). We may use De-Identified Information for any of the purposes described in the “We Use Information We Collect” section below. We will maintain and use De-Identified Information in de-identified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information, except to confirm our de-identification processes or unless required by law.
c. Information Collected Automatically

Like other online companies, we receive technical information when you use our Services. We use these technologies to analyze how people use the Service, to improve how our Site functions, to save your log-in information for future sessions, and to serve you with advertisements that may interest you.

Sourcer and its partners use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movement around the website, the desktop app, and the mobile app, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. The technology used to collect information automatically from Sourcer Users may include cookies, web beacons, and embedded scripts. In addition, we and our marketing partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers may use a variety of other technologies (such as tags) that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes and we may use third parties to perform these services on our behalf.

For further information on cookies and how they are used for the Service, please visit our Cookie Policy at sourcer.com/legal/cookie-policy.

d. Analytics Providers, Ad Servers and Similar Third Parties

We may work with advertising agencies and vendors who use technology to help us understand how people use our Site. These vendors may use technologies to serve you advertisements that may interest you. You can choose to opt out of receiving certain interest-based advertising.

Sourcer works with (or may in the future work with) ad networks, ad agencies, analytics service providers and other vendors to provide us with information regarding traffic on the Service, including pages viewed and the actions taken when visiting the Service; to serve our advertisements on other websites, within mobile apps and elsewhere online; and to provide us with information regarding the use of the Service and the effectiveness of our advertisements. Our service providers may collect certain information about your visits to and activity on the Service as well as other websites or services, they may set and access their own tracking technologies on your device (including cookies and web beacons), and may use that information to show you targeted advertisements. Some of these parties may collect Personal Information when you visit the Service or other online websites and services. We may also share certain Non-Identifying Information with these parties, including Hashed Information, in connection with the services they provide to us. If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies, click here (or if located in the European Union, click here). You must opt out on each device and each browser where you want your choice to apply. If you choose to opt out, please note you will continue to receive advertisements, but they may be less relevant to you.

While we may use a variety of service providers to perform advertising services, some of these companies are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. You may want to visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, which provides information regarding targeted advertising and the “opt-out” procedures of NAI members. You may also want to visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, which provides information regarding targeted advertising and offers an “opt-out” by participating companies in the DAA Self-Regulatory Program.

e. Do Not Track Signals and GPC

Please note that your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. Sourcer does not generally alter its practices when it receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a technical specification that you can use to inform websites of your privacy preferences regarding ad trackers. If you do choose to set up GPC, it may impact the functionality of the Site, but we honor the GPC signal on a per-browser basis automatically in your cookie preferences.

f. Children

The Service is general audience and intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone younger than age 18. If we become aware that a child younger than 18 has provided us with Personal Information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from our files. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child younger than age 18 and believe that Sourcer has collected Personal Information from your child, please contact us at: legalnotices@sourcer.com.

2. Use of Information

We use information collected through the Service to provide and improve the Service, develop new Services and products, process your requests, prevent fraud, provide you with information and advertising that may interest you, comply with the law, and as otherwise permitted with your consent.

a. We Use Information We Collect:

  • To provide and improve the Service, complete your transactions, address your inquiries, process your registration, verify the information you provide is valid, and for compliance and internal business purposes.
  • To contact you with administrative communications and Sourcer newsletters, marketing or promotional materials (on behalf of Sourcer or third parties) and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the instructions in the Your Choices and Rights section, below.
  • To tailor content we display to you and offers we may present to you, both on the Service and elsewhere online.
  • To administer and develop our business relationship with you and, if applicable, the corporation or other legal entity you represent.
  • To enforce and comply with the law, including to conduct an investigation, to protect the property and rights of Sourcer or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, fraudulent, unethical or legally actionable activity. We may also use Device Identifiers to identify Sourcer Users.
  • For the purposes disclosed at the time you provide your information, with your consent, and as further described in this Privacy Policy.
  • To Honor Our Contractual Commitments to You. Much of our processing of Personal Information is to meet our contractual obligations to our investors, or to take steps at Users' request in anticipation of entering into a contract with them.
  • For Our Legitimate Interests. In many cases, we handle Personal Information on the grounds that it furthers our legitimate interests in commercial activities, such as the following, in ways that are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals:

    • Providing our Site and Service.
    • Detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, and prosecuting those responsible for that activity.
    • Measuring interest and engagement in our Services.
    • Short-term, transient use, such as contextual customization of ads.
    • Improving, upgrading or enhancing our Services.
    • Developing new products and services.
    • Ensuring internal quality control and safety.

3. Data Retention

Unless you request that we delete certain information, we will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements, as well as ongoing fraud prevention, backup, and business continuity purposes.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your Personal Information for monetary consideration, and we do not share your Personal Information with third parties for those third parties’ marketing purposes unless we first provide you with the opportunity to opt-in to or opt-out of such sharing. However, we may use technologies on our Site for the purposes of advertising or marketing to you and understanding how you interact with our ads. This may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising under applicable data protection laws. We may also share information we have collected about you, including Personal Information, as disclosed at the time you provide your information, with your consent, as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, or for the following business or commercial purposes:

Sourcer Users For Suppliers who have entered into an engagement with a Customer, we may share their information with Customer. For Suppliers who choose to submit a submission via the Service, we may share their information with the applicable Customer(s).

For Customers who have entered into an engagement, we may share your information in order to complete the transaction or to facilitate the resolution of a claim or dispute. The Supplier(s) receiving your information is not allowed to use it for purposes unrelated to the transaction, such as to contact you for marketing purposes, unless you have expressly consented to it.
Sourcer Users We may employ service providers and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and online advertising, payment processing, fraud detection and improvement of Sourcer’s features) or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These Service providers may include analytics companies, advertising partners, payment processors, identity verification companies, security companies, generative AI partners, or other merchants. These third parties may have access to your Personal Information in order to perform these tasks on our behalf.
Generative AI Partners We enhance certain features of our Service by integrating trusted generative AI service providers. We may share the information you provide while using these features with these generative AI service providers, as well as additional information necessary to utilize the feature.

Where Sourcer uses this information to power features, we leverage certain treatments of the data appropriate for the feature, including but not limited to, first removing personal information and only using public data.

Where a feature involves a generative AI service provider and requires the use of identifying information you submit to the feature, you may choose to either not use that feature or not opt-in to generative AI features more broadly.

The Service includes a two-sided marketplace, which results in platform information pertaining to both parties on either side of an interaction. Thus, if a Customer or Supplier chooses to use our generative AI features, the platform information associated with that user’s account – including information described above – may be used to power those features, subject to limitations based on the other party’s choices.
Legal and Investigative Purposes Sourcer will share information with government agencies as required by law including (without limitation) in response to lawful requests by public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements and in connection with reporting earnings. We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law.

We will disclose information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), or, at the request of governmental authorities or other third parties conducting an investigation where we determine in our sole discretion the disclosure is necessary to (a) protect the property and rights of Sourcer or a third party, (b) protect the safety of the public or any person, or (c) prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or pose a risk of being, illegal, fraudulent, unethical or legally actionable activity.
Internal and Business Transfers Sourcer may share information, including Personal Information, with any current or future subsidiaries or affiliates, primarily for business and operational purposes, including activities such as IT management, for them to provide services to you, or support and supplement the Services we provide. We may sell, transfer, or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets (including, in each case, as part of the due-diligence process with any potential acquiring entity) or in the event of bankruptcy.
Sweepstakes, Contests, and Promotions We may offer sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions (any, a “Promotion”) that may require registration.
Non-Identifying Information and De-Identified Information We may share aggregated Non-Identifying Information and we may otherwise disclose Non-Identifying Information (including, without limitation, Hashed Information) or De-Identified Information to third parties.

Data Privacy Framework Notice

Sourcer, Inc. has certified that its U.S. operations adhere to the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks (“Privacy Shield”) with respect to the personal Information that they receive in reliance on the Privacy Shield. In July 2023, all members of the Privacy Shield, including Sourcer, automatically became members of the Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”). Our DPF certification is available at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search. To learn more about the DPF program, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/.

When Sourcer or one of its affiliates receives Personal Information under the DPF and then transfers it to a third party service provider acting as an agent on their behalf, Sourcer or its affiliate may have certain responsibility under the DPF if both (i) the agent processes the information in a manner inconsistent with the DPF and (ii) Sourcer or its affiliate is responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

Covered European residents should contact Sourcer at the contact information below regarding Sourcer’s or its affiliates' compliance with the DPF. Sourcer will attempt to answer your questions and satisfy your concerns in a timely and complete manner as soon as possible. If, after discussing the matter with Sourcer, your issue or complaint is not resolved, Sourcer and the above-named affiliates have agreed to participate in the DPF independent dispute resolution mechanisms listed below, free of charge to you. PLEASE CONTACT SOURCER FIRST.

For other Personal Information Sourcer or its affiliates receive under the DPF, Sourcer and its affiliates have committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles to an independent dispute resolution mechanism, JAMS Data Privacy Framework Dispute Resolution, operated by JAMS. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/dpf-dispute-resolution for more information and to file a complaint.

If your complaint still is not resolved through these channels, under limited circumstances, an additional binding arbitration option may be available before a DPF panel, as described at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/. Every individual also has a right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.

Our Service contains links to other websites. If you choose to click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit Personal Information from you. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
