Privacy Policy

Your Information and Third-Party Involvement

To provide a customized experience, we collect data like your name, contact information, and professional details. We also analyze your platform activity, such as visited pages, search patterns, and other usage behaviors. By merging this data with information from external sources, we enhance the relevance of our offerings. Aggregated or anonymized versions of your data, stripped of identifying details, are used for internal insights, marketing strategies, and operational purposes. We may share this non-personalized data with external entities, including advertisers and promotional partners, to support our business objectives.

Aggregated Data and Compliance with Legal Requirements

We gather Aggregated Data which includes non-personalized, statistical information that helps us assess the overall performance of our platform and refine user experiences. This data is generated from your personal information but is anonymized in a way that ensures it cannot be traced back to any specific individual. For example, we may aggregate your usage statistics to evaluate how many people use particular website features. While this data helps us enhance services, it is not considered personal data as it cannot identify users directly.

At times, there may be situations where we are legally obligated to collect personal information or it is essential to fulfill our contractual obligations with you. If you refuse to provide the necessary data, we may be unable to offer the full range of services you requested. In such cases, we may need to terminate or adjust any agreements or services dependent on that information.

Methods of Personal Data Collection

We employ a range of strategies to collect Personal Data, ensuring that we gather the essential information needed for operational purposes. These strategies include:

  1. Direct Interaction: You may provide us with your Identity, Contact and Financial Data through various interactions, such as filling out forms or communicating with us via email, phone, post, or in-person meetings.
  2. Automatic Data Collection: When you engage with our website, we automatically capture both Personal and Non-Personal Data, such as Technical and Usage Data, which includes device information and browsing habits. This data is collected via technologies like cookies and server logs, and we may also gather additional data from your activity on other websites using similar technologies.
  3. External Sources: We may obtain Personal Data from third-party sources, particularly Technical and Usage Data, through analytics providers and advertising networks. Additionally, if you are a business client, we may gather supplemental Business Information from third-party sources to complement the data you've provided. We may also acquire Contact and Business Data about individuals who have not interacted with us directly, through third-party platforms.
  4. Data on Behalf of Clients: In certain cases, we act as data processors for clients, handling Personal Data following their instructions. In such situations, we do not form direct relationships with the individuals whose data we manage for our clients.
  5. Access and Requests: If we process your Personal Data on behalf of a client and you wish to access, update, correct, or delete your data, we will refer you to the respective client for further assistance. In exceptional circumstances, we may assist in facilitating your request.

In the course of conducting business, we may share your personal information with various third-party entities.

These external parties are accountable for handling your data in accordance with their own privacy practices. Additionally, we may be required to disclose your personal data in response to legal requests, to defend our legal interests, or to ensure the safety and security of users. In some cases, such as corporate transactions like mergers or acquisitions, your information might also be shared as part of the process.
