Information Amebous Labs Collects and How We Use It

Amebous Labs collects your personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us by visiting our website, sending us an email or interacting with us via our social media accounts.  No personal data is collected when you use Loam Sandbox.  “Personal data” is any information that can be used to identify you or that Amebous Labs can link to you such as your name or email address. In addition to the information you voluntarily provide us, Amebous Labs may automatically collect certain information when you visit our website. For instance, Amebous Labs uses “cookies” technology with our website for the collection of information to help us better tailor our website to our visitors.  Such information may include the date and time of visits to our website; the website pages viewed per visit; and time spent on our website. We also use web analysis services such as Google Analytics, in order to better understand your use of our websites and how we can improve it. The information generated by these web analysis service providers is anonymous and does not include personal data about you. The anonymous information collected through the use of these web analysis service providers is not combined with any personal data you may have voluntarily shared with us. To get a better understanding of how such providers may use the anonymous data collected on our website, you may review, as an example, Google’s policy on this matter by visiting https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also opt-out of Google advertising features through your ad settings, or by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
