HOW DOES THE COMPANY COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

     

     (1) Information You Provide Us

 

The Company may collect Personal Information when you use the Company’s products or services, when you visit the Company’s website, when you enter into a contractor relationship with us, and when you enter the Company’s facilities.  For example, we require customers who register to use our services to give us certain personal information, including but not limited to: their name, business name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and financial qualification and billing information, such as billing name and address, fax number, credit/banking information, bank wiring number(s), the identity of users within the organization that will be using the services, production information, financial performance information or other information necessary for us to correctly identify and provide the appropriate services.   

 

All financial and billing information that we collect from you is used for the purposes of checking your qualifications as a prospective customer and billing you for services provided. The Company may use a third-party intermediary to manage the billing processing.

 

Other personal information we collect, as described above, may be used by the Company to provide service to you, to advertise or market our business, promotions, or services, keep and maintain accounts, keep records of transactions, maintain our contractual relationship with you, and for financial management of our business.

 

     (2) Automatic Information

 

When you visit the Company’s website, we collect your Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses to track and aggregate non-personal information. In addition, we receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us via our Site, including what pages you visit and activities you perform on our Site. The Company automatically receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server logs including your IP address, cookie information, the page you requested, and your communications and interactions with other site registrants. We use this traffic data to help diagnose problems with our servers, to analyze trends and to better understand and market to our customers or website users, individually or in the aggregate.

 

We automatically collect usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Site and use of components of our service. We may use this information to provide research, advice and information, including, without limitation, for benchmarking purposes (e.g. we may publish an industry white paper that uses data collected through the use of our service). This data is only used in the aggregate. This type of collective data also enables us to determine how often customers use parts of the service so we can make the service appealing to as many customers as possible. In addition, we may provide statistical information to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our website and service. We may share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use areas of our website and our service, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal experience.

 

     (3) Information from Other Sources

 

In order to enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing, offers and services to you, we may obtain information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.

CONSENT

 

Ordinarily we ask for consent to collect, use or disclose personal information, except in specific circumstances where collection, use or disclosure without consent is authorized or required by law. We may assume your consent in cases where you volunteer information for an obvious purpose. 

 

You may withdraw consent to the use and disclosure of personal information at any time, unless the personal information is necessary for us to fulfil our reasonable business or legal obligations. We will respect your decision, but we may not be able to provide you with certain services if we do not have the necessary personal information.

 

The purpose for collecting personal information is set out in this policy. Any necessary consents shall be obtained before personal information is collected, used or disclosed. 

 

We ask for your express consent for some purposes and may not be able to provide certain services if you are unwilling to provide consent to the collection, use or disclosure of certain personal information. Where express consent is needed, we will normally ask clients to provide their consent orally (in person, by telephone), in writing (by signing a consent form), or electronically (by clicking a button).

In cases that do not involve sensitive personal information, we may rely on “opt-out” consent.

 

The amount and type of personal information collected by the Company shall be limited to what is necessary to fulfill the identified purpose. Personal information shall only be used or disclosed for the purposes for which it is collected. Exceptions may be made with the consent of the individual or if authorized or required by law.

 

Personal information collected by the Company or on behalf of the Company will be sent to the Company’s main office in Greenwood Village, Colorado USA and will be subject to the laws of Colorado and the United States.

 

HOW DO I OBTAIN ACCESS TO MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?

 

Upon request received by the Company in writing, individuals shall be informed of the existence, use, and disclosure of their personal information records and shall be given access to that information. Requests to access personal information held by the Company should be directed to the Company. 

 

Requests must be made in writing or by e-mail. Individuals may be required to verify their identity in order to access their personal information. Any such documentation provided shall be used for verification purposes only.

 

The Company responds to requests for access to personal information within thirty (30) days of receipt of the request, or as may be permitted in accordance with applicable privacy legislation.

 

A fee for reasonable costs incurred may be charged when responding to more complex requests. The individual will be informed of the applicable fee.

 

Requested information will be provided in a form that is generally understandable.

 

The Company will be as specific as possible when describing third parties to whom it has disclosed personal information about an individual. When it is not possible to provide a list of the organizations to which it has actually disclosed information, the Company will provide a list of organizations to which it is likely to have disclosed information.

 

Individuals are permitted either to view the original record, or to request a copy, subject to limitations as permitted or required by law. To preserve the integrity of the record and ensure that documents are not removed from the Company, individuals wishing to view an original record will do so at the Company's main office and under the supervision of designated Company personnel. 

 

Limitations on Access

 

The Company will only refuse access to information about you in those circumstances permitted or required by applicable privacy legislation.

 

In the event that the Company refuses to provide access to information, it will provide you with the reasons for its refusal upon request. Exceptions may include information that contains references to or opinions of other individuals, information that cannot be disclosed for legal, security or commercial proprietary reasons, or information that is subject to solicitor-client or litigation privilege. The Company will respond to your requests for access in accordance with applicable privacy legislation.


HOW WILL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION BE MAINTAINED?

 

Personal information shall be kept as accurate, complete, and up-to-date as necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.

 

Individuals have the right to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the personal information that is maintained by the Company and have it amended as appropriate.

 

Individuals seeking a correction or amendment to their personal information should direct their requests in writing to the Company. 

 

All formal requests to amend personal information must be accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation. The Company will manage any exceptions. The amended information will be transmitted to third parties, as appropriate.

 

If the individual is not satisfied with the results of the request, the Company shall internally document the issue, and provide a response. The existence of the unresolved challenge will be transmitted to third parties, as appropriate. 


HOW IS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED AND SECURED?

 

Personal information will be retained only as long as necessary and will be disposed of in a manner that is appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. We render client personal information non-identifying, or destroy records containing personal information once the information is no longer needed. We use appropriate security measures when destroying client personal information, including shredding paper records and permanently deleting electronic records.

 

Personal information will be protected by security safeguards, appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information. 

 

We will notify all required authorities, without delay, of a security breach affecting personal information if it creates a real risk of significant harm to individuals.

 

CHALLENGING COMPLIANCE

 

Inquiries or complaints concerning compliance with this Privacy Policy should be addressed, in writing, to the Company.

 

If you are not satisfied with the response from the Company after making a complaint, you may have recourse to additional remedies under applicable privacy legislation.
