Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information:
Personal Information You Disclose To Us
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Site, express an interest in obtaining our products or services, when you participate in activities on the Site (such as posting messages in our online forums or entering competitions, contests or giveaways) or otherwise contact us. The personal information that we collect depends upon the context of your interactions with the Company, the choices that you make and the products and features you use. This information may include names, phone numbers, email addresses, user names, passwords, contact or authentication data, and other similar information. All of this information that you provide must be true, complete and accurate, and you must notify us, at the above email address, of any changes to such personal information.
You are solely responsible for whatever personal information you share with the Company through the contact form or any other public post, and we will use the information only for lawful purposes, like internal marketing, performance of our contractual obligations, legitimate commercial interests, and compliance with our legal obligations.
General Account Information
As is true of most other websites, we collect certain information automatically and stores it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of our Site, including a history of the pages you view. We use this information to help us design our Site to better suit our users’ needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Site, analyze trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences.
How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Site. For example, we may use GPS or other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based upon your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. Note, however, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Site.
Controls For Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (DNT) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this state, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
Modifying Account Information
If you would like at any time to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can contact us, at apps@consultaegis.com,
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and the information from our active databases. However, we will retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our services agreements and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.
When And How We Share Information With Others
We process your information for purposes based on legitimate business interests, the fulfillment of our contractual obligations with you, compliance with our legal obligations and/or your consent.
Information about your purchases of Aegis Analytics products and services are maintained in association with your membership or profile account. The personal information that the Company collects from you is stored in one or more databases hosted by third parties. These third parties do not use or have access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage, retrieval and fulfillment of their contractual obligations with Aegis Analytics.
Purchases, Billing and other Third-Party Information
Aegis Analytics has partnered with various ecommerce and other fulfillment platforms, as more fully set forth above in the Other Applicable Privacy Policies section, to enable you to safely and securely make payments for products and services purchased through this website. When you pay for a service, these e-commerce platforms require that you provide them with personal identifiable information (PII), which may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address and payment information. Where we receive this information, we may use it for lawful purposes, such as performance of our contractual obligations, legitimate commercial interests (e.g. marketing), and compliance with our legal obligations. We never directly receive or handle any of your credit card or other payment information, and we do not share your PII with any third parties.
Sharing Or Disclosing Information
Information about our customers is an important part of our business. We do not otherwise reveal your personal data to non-Company persons or businesses for their independent use unless: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) it’s in connection with Aegis Analytics-hosted and co-sponsored conferences; (3) the information is provided to comply with the law (for example, to comply with a search warrant, subpoena, or court order), enforce an agreement we have with you, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our employees or others; (4) the information is provided to our agents, vendors or service providers who perform functions on our behalf; (5) to address emergencies or acts of God; or (6) to address disputes, claims, or to persons demonstrating legal authority to act on your behalf. We may also gather aggregated data about our members and Site visitors and disclose the results of such aggregated (but not personally identifiable) information to our partners, service providers, advertisers, and/or other third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
The Company website uses interfaces with social media sites, including Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/policy.php; Instagram, https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875, and LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. If you choose to "like" or share information from the Aegis Analytics website through these services, you should review the privacy policy of that service. If you are a member of a social media Site, the interfaces may allow the social media Site to connect your Site visit to your personal data.
Cookies, Pages Viewed and Computer Information
Aegis Analytics may set and access cookies on your receiving device. We use cookies to improve your user experience on the Site, if you configure your browser to ignore cookies it may affect the Site’s functionality. The Site uses session cookies, which are erased when you close your browser and do not collect information from your computer. These cookies typically store information in the form of a session identification that does not personally identify you. The Site also uses persistent cookies, which are stored on your hard drive until they expire (i.e. based on a set expiration date) or until you delete them. These cookies are used to collect information about you, such as your Web surfing behavior or preferences for a particular Site. In addition, every time you view a page on the Site, your browser sends some information about the requested page, such as the address of the page, and the language and format in which you would prefer to receive it, as well as information about your computer, such as its Internet protocol (IP) address, and the type and version of your browser and operating system. Please see our cookie notice, https://rhino.works/policies/cookies/ for more specifics about the use of cookies on our Site.
Transferring personal data from the EU to the US
The Company has its headquarters in the United States. Information we collect from you will be processed in the United States, and by using our services you acknowledge and consent to the processing of your data in the United States. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 41 of the GDPR. We rely on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 44 of the GDPR. In particular, the Company collects and transfers to the U.S. personal data only: with your consent; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. We endeavor to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with the us and the practices described in this privacy policy. The Company also enters into data processing agreements and model clauses with its vendors whenever feasible and appropriate.
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and other countries’ privacy laws provide certain rights for data subjects. Here is an English language explanation: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/.
Security of your information
To help protect the privacy of data and personally identifiable information (PII) you transmit through use of this Site, we maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards. We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. We restrict access to your personal data to those employees who need to know that information to provide benefits or services to you. In addition, we train our employees about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information. We commit to taking appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce our employees' privacy responsibilities. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission to and from our Site is at your own risk. You should only access the Site in a secure environment.
Data storage and retention
Your personal data is stored by the Company on its servers, and on the servers of the cloud-based database management services that the Company engages. Your data is retained for the duration of your business relationship with Aegis Analytics, and for a period of time thereafter to allow you to recover accounts if you decide to renew, to analyze the data for the Company’s own operations, and for historical and archiving purposes. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or if this is not possible (e.g. because your personal information has been stored in backup archives) then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. For more information on where and how long your personal data is stored, and for more information on your rights of erasure and portability, please contact apps@consultaegis.com. If you are an EU Citizen, EEA Citizen, or are otherwise covered by the GDPR, you may request your data at: https://rhino.works/data-request
