What Types Of Technical Data Do We Collect?

The Website uses commonly-used automated information gathering tools. While you are using our Website (even if you do not register for any of the Company’s Services), we automatically log your IP address (a number assigned to your computer when you use the Internet), general data (including your domain name and the name of the web page from which you entered our Website) and your activity while accessing and using our Website.

Additionally, in order to personalize and enhance your experience, we may also collect information through “cookies.” Cookies are small strings of text that are sent by our Website to your browser and then stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to help diagnose problems with our servers and to administer our Website. We also use cookies to gather broad demographic information and to help identify you (by certain personally identifiable information) in respect to visits to our Website, so that we may improve your user experience, and to determine whether you visited our Website from a particular Internet link or advertisement.

We may also use small bits of code called “one-pixel gifs,” “clear gifs,” or “web beacons” embedded in web pages to gather certain web site information. Information may also be collected passively in the form of log files that record website activity, including how many “hits” a particular web page is getting (a.k.a., “click-through data”). For example, log file entries are generated every time a user visits a particular page or clicks an image on our website. These entries enable us to track a particular user’s visits to a web page, assess overall Site activity, track user interest in portions of our Website, troubleshoot technical concerns, and identify the type of browser you are using. We may also use the log file entries for our internal marketing and demographic studies, so we can constantly improve our Website.

Users In The European Economic Area

The Website does not target individuals in the European Economic Area (“EEA Individuals”) or UK individuals subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”).

This section applies only to EEA Individuals should they access the Website.

Under the “GDPR”, EEA Individuals have certain rights in relation to their personal data, which are summarized below.

These rights are subject to your exercising them in good faith and are subject to our legitimate interests or other valid basis to continue processing your personal data, in accordance with our policies and applicable law.

Our lawful basis for processing your personal data for the purposes described under the headings “How We Use Your Personal Data and Technical Data” and “Parties With Whom We May Share Personal Data and Technical Data” in this Privacy Policy are: (a) performance of any contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you, (b) it is necessary for our legitimate interests, and (c) we must comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

EEA Individuals who wish to exercise any of the rights they have under the GDPR should contact us in writing by email. Our email address is shown at the end of this Privacy Policy. We may need to request specific information to help us confirm your identity, so that your personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request.

Generally, EEA Individuals will not have to pay a fee to exercise the rights described below. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

EEA Individuals may lodge a complaint with the appropriate regulatory body or supervisory authority in the country where they reside, where they work, or in the place of the alleged infringement of the law.

Access

If asked by an EEA Individual and if we are obligated to do so under applicable law, we will inform that individual about whether we are processing his/her personal data. If we are processing such EEA Individual’s personal data, we will provide access to the personal data that we have about that individual. If you request additional copies of your personal data, we may charge you a reasonable fee.

Rectification (e., Correction)

If the personal data we hold about an EEA Individual is inaccurate or incomplete, that individual may ask us to have it corrected.

Erasure

EEA Individuals may request that we erase (i.e., delete or remove) their personal data in certain circumstances. If you are legally entitled to erasure, and if we have shared such personal data with third parties, we will take reasonable steps (taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation) to inform such third parties of your request, to the extent we are required to do so by applicable law.

Restriction of Processing

EEA Individuals have the right to restrict the processing of their personal data in certain circumstances, such as if they contest the accuracy of that personal data, if the processing of the personal data is unlawful, or if we no longer need the personal data for our business purposes. If you are legally entitled to restriction, and if we have shared your personal data with others, we will use reasonable efforts to inform such third parties of your request, if we are required to do so.

Data Portability

EEA Individuals may ask to receive their personal data from us, where the legal basis of our processing is their consent, and where we carry out the processing of their personal data by automated means. If EEA Individuals so request, we may transmit their personal information directly to another organization if it would be technically feasible to do so.

Objection to Processing

EEA Individuals may object to the processing of their personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party). As noted above, you also have the right to object (i.e., opt out of) our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

EEA Individuals have the right not to be subject to a decision when it is based on automatic processing, including profiling, if it produces a legal effect or similarly significantly affects you, unless such profiling is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us.

We do not engage in decision-making based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning an individual or similarly significantly affects an individual.

Processing of Special Categories of Personal Data and of Personal Data Relating to Criminal Convictions and Offenses

There are certain types of personal data that require a higher level of protection, known as “special categories” of personal data under the GDPR. We do not process special categories of personal data unless (a) we have obtained such individuals’ explicit consent or (b) we are otherwise legally permitted to do so. For example, we may collect special categories of personal data of EEA Individuals in the context of dietary requirements or restrictions for events and meetings that such individuals voluntarily provide to us.

We do not collect personal data about criminal convictions and offenses, unless revealed by due diligence conducted to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation or unless we are authorized to do so under applicable law.

Withdrawing Consent

In certain circumstances, EEA Individuals have the right to withdraw their consent to our processing of their personal data. However, withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that had been carried out before consent is withdrawn. Moreover, if we rely on another legal basis (e.g., performance of a contract or legitimate interest) to process your personal data, we may continue to process your personal data in accordance with such other legal basis even after you withdraw your consent. If you decide to withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide our Services to you.

International Data Transfers

We are based in the United States and our computer servers are located in the United States. Accordingly, all personal data in our possession and control is collected and processed by us in the United States. Any party that provides personal data to us is thereby transferring such data to the United States and is consenting to the transfer of their personal data to the United States. Individuals who access the Website from outside the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, rules and regulations.

If you choose to use an authorized agent to submit a request to us, we will require that you (i) provide us with a copy of the written permission you gave the authorized agent to submit the request to us; and (ii) verify your own identity directly with us. We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that such agent has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

If you submit a request in a manner that is not one of the designated methods of submission described above, or if your request is deficient in some manner unrelated to the verification process, we will either: (i) treat the request as if it had been submitted in accordance with our designated manner, or (ii) provide you with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies with the request, if applicable.

Making a request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We will deliver our written response either by mail or electronically. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 additional days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Any information we deliver in response to your request may be delivered by mail or electronically. If it is provided electronically, we will take reasonable steps to provide that the information will be portable and, to the extent technically feasible, in a readily useable format that would allow you to transmit the information to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless the request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
