How Information is Used

6.1 When we use or process personal data about you, we do so only as necessary to provide the services and products you use (e.g., to meet our contractual and legal obligations), or otherwise with your consent, to comply with applicable law, or to fulfill other legitimate interests of you or us as described in this Policy. Through our Website, you will be provided with the choice of which types of communications you will receive with us, and the ability to change those choices whenever you want. Some of the more common, specific uses of your information are described below.

Providing Requested Services and Products; Fulfilling Contractual Obligations

6.2 We may use PII to provide the services and products you've requested or to otherwise perform any contract we may have with you, including communicating with you about the scope of work, payment or other related topics. When you create an account on our Website, buy a product or service from us, or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us. In order to carry out that contract, we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be PII, and we may use it in order to do any of the following:

  • 6.2.1 Verify your identity for security purposes
  • 6.2.2 Provide you with suggestions and advice on products and services
  • 6.2.3 Provide our products and services, which includes updating, securing and troubleshooting, as well as providing support. We also may provide your PII to third party service partners, agents or subcontractors that provide services that support our business relationship with you (i.e. payment processors, website-hosting companies, third party content platforms, etc.), but those third parties will only receive information necessary to provide the respective services and are not permitted to use personal data they receive from us for any other purpose.
  • 6.2.4 Improve, personalize and develop our services and products.
  • 6.3 We process this information on the basis that there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.
  • 6.4 We will continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.

Information we process with your consent

6.5 Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you browse our Website or ask us to provide you more information about our business, including job opportunities and our products and services, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be PII.

6.6 Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of Cookies or to receive communications from us.

6.7 Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us a message by e-mail to which you would reasonably expect us to reply.

6.8 When we communicate with you about our business, we will use the contact information you provided to us to discuss technical issues, new products and services, and other information of interest to you. We may also send you emails with useful industry information, promotional information about our business or offers from us or our affiliates. You have a choice about whether or not you wish to receive communications from us. If you do not want to receive any or certain communications from us, then you can select your choices by ticking the relevant boxes situated on the form on which we collect your information.

6.9 Except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific purpose, we do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. We may aggregate it in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor the performance of a particular page on our Website.

6.10 If you have given us explicit permission to do so, we may from time to time pass your name and contact information to selected third party service providers who we believe may provide services or products you would find useful.

6.11 We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

6.12 You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us using the contact information at the end of this Policy, using unsubscribe instructions provided in communications, or changing your elections within our Website. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our Website or our services further.

Legally Required Releases of Information

6.13 We may be legally required to disclose your PII, if such disclosure is (a) required by subpoena, law, or other legal process; (b) necessary to assist law enforcement officials or government enforcement agencies; (c) necessary to investigate violations of or otherwise enforce our Legal Terms; (d) necessary to protect us from legal action or claims from third parties including you; and/or (e) necessary to protect the legal rights, personal/real property, or personal safety of our company, customers, third party partners, employees, and affiliates.

Other Legitimate Interest

6.14 We may process information or use it to communicate with you on the basis that doing so is necessary to achieve a legitimate interest, either to you or to us. Where we use your information on this basis, we do so after having given careful consideration to:

  • 6.14.1 whether the same objective could be achieved through other means
  • 6.14.2 whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm
  • 6.14.3 whether you would expect us to process your data, and whether you would consider it reasonable to do so
  • 6.15 For example, we may process your data or communicate with you for any of the following purposes:
  • 6.15.1 advertising and marketing to you, which includes sending promotional communications, targeting advertising, and presenting you relevant offers based on information you provide or our prior dealings
  • 6.15.2 operating our business, which includes analyzing our performance, meeting our legal obligations, developing our workforce, and doing research

  • 6.15.5 responding to unsolicited communications from you to which we believe you would expect a response
  • 6.15.6 protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party
  • 6.15.7 insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage business risk
  • 6.15.8 protecting your interests where we believe we have a duty to do so
  • 6.16 We will continue to use this information for this purpose until the legitimate interest no longer exists or such use is not necessary to achieve the legitimate interest.

Disclosures to Successors

7.1 If our business is acquired or merges, in whole or in part, with another business, we retain the right to transfer your PII to the new business. The new business would retain the right to use your PII according to the terms of this Privacy Policy, as updated or as changed by the new business, subject to applicable law. You will have the opportunity to opt-out of any such transfer if we determine that the new business has privacy policies that differ materially from ours or that do not comply with applicable law.
