This data will be aggregated and anonymized so we can examine patterns in terms of End Users’ preferences as they relate to email engagement. We collect and use all this data for our legitimate interests like providing our Customers with metrics around probability of engagement related to email sending times, locations, content and also to help our Customers understand industry trends in marketing.
Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies is discussed more below, in more detail below and in our Cookie Notice here.

We also have automated systems that screen content for phishing activities, spam, and fraud.
iv. For Legal Records. To enforce our agreements where applicable (for example we keep a record of the number of emails sent to individual End Users to bill for Services used by our Customers).
