In addition, Comprise may record location data indicating where you are using our Products, Website(s) or Mobile Apps as well as collect geolocation data from your personal device which can be done through IP, Wi-Fi or GPS.

Comprise will try to collect personal information directly from the individual concerned unless authorized by that individual to collect it from a third party such as the entity (most often a public library) sponsoring the use of our Products, Website(s) or Mobile Apps, or as otherwise permitted by law.
