The type of information that the Company may collect from individuals includes, for example, name, email address, company name, job title, address, phone number, and other information individuals choose to provide.

The Company may collect personal information for other purposes where it has a legal duty or right to do so or where the Company has a good faith belief that it is necessary to protect the property or rights of the Company.

The Company does not collect personal information for any other purposes, unless it has the consent of the individual to whom it relates.

How does the Company collect personal information?

The Company only collects personal information about an individual with the individual’s knowledge and consent. Generally, this means that the Company collects personal information directly from the individual to whom it relates, whether via the Company’s website, e-mail, telephone, fax, or in person. Occasionally, the Company may collect personal information from third party sources, but only with the knowledge and consent of the individual or where otherwise authorized by law.

Visitors to the Company’s website should also be aware that anonymous technical information may be collected by the Company as a result of a visit to the Company’s website. For example, this information may include the visitor’s IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, domain name, access times and referring website addresses. The Company uses this anonymous technical information for purposes such as diagnosing problems with the Company’s servers, improving the operation and content of the Company’s website and compiling aggregate and statistical information.

In some cases, this anonymous technical information may be combined with personal information you have provided, including for example to help the Company analyze statistical use patterns and demographic data, and determine which website referred the visitor to the Company’s website. The Company will not otherwise attempt to link or match such anonymous technical information with any personally-identifiable information unless the Company has an individual’s consent,  the Company (or its service providers) have detected or reasonably suspect any unlawful use of the Company’s services or a security breach, or the Company has a legal duty or right to do so.

The Company may use “cookies” on its website. “Cookies” are small text files placed on computers that can collect and store a variety of information. Persistent cookies are stored for a defined period of time on a user’s hard drive unless manually deleted, while temporary cookies are automatically deleted from the user’s browser upon logging out of a website. Web browsers typically allow users to disable persistent and/or temporary cookies.

Please note that the Company uses Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. Both solutions are operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (more information about how Google collects, uses, and processes data can be found here). Google Tag Manager allows marketed website tags to be managed using an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not register personal information. Rather, the tool causes other tags to be activated which may, for their part, register personal information under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this personal information. If recording has been deactivated on a domain or cookie level, this setting will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

The Company’s website includes links to other third-party sites. If you access those links you will leave the Company’s website and your information will no longer be governed by this policy. Carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

The Company only uses or discloses personal information as reasonably required to facilitate the Authorized Purposes listed above.

In some cases, the Company may share personal information with third party service providers performing functions on the Company’s behalf, including, for example, vendors that provide information technology services or provide analytics or assessment services.

The Company does not otherwise use or disclose personal information unless the Company has an individual’s consent, the Company has a good faith belief that disclosure of the information is necessary to protect the rights or property of Company, or the Company has a legal duty or right to do so.

The Company does not rent, sell or trade customer lists or other personal information.
