2. Personal Information Collected
Riskonnect offers a variety of services that are collectively referred to in this Policy as the “Service”. Riskonnect collects information from individuals who visit Riskonnect’s Website (“Visitors”) and individuals who are registered users of the Service (“Customers”).
We do not collect any personal information about you at our Website unless you choose to provide it to us voluntarily. If you encounter a screen or page that requests information you do not want to share with us, do not enter the information and do not proceed with that screen or page. When expressing an interest in obtaining additional information about the Service or registering to use the Service, Riskonnect requires you to provide contact information, such as name, company name, address, phone number and email address (“Required Contact Information”). Required Contact Information, Billing Information and Optional Information are referred to collectively herein as “personal information”.
If you do provide us with personal information, we will use it only for the purposes described where it is collected, as otherwise described herein or, with respect to Customers, as described in the Riskonnect Master Subscription Agreement. We will not sell, license, transmit or disclose this information outside of Riskonnect, its affiliates or third party service providers including, without limitation, Salesforce.com, unless (1) you expressly authorize us to do so, (2) it is necessary to allow our trusted service providers or agents to provide services for us, (3) in order to provide the Service to you, (4) it is disclosed to entities that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other entities with whom we have joint marketing agreements (5) it is necessary in connection with a sale of Riskonnect, one of its affiliates or divisions or sale of the Website, or (6) as we are otherwise required or permitted by law.
Riskonnect is a general audience site intended only for use by users who are at least 18 years of age. Riskonnect does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13.
3. Use of Information Collected
The Company uses your personal information to perform the Service requested. For example, if you fill out a “Contact Me” web form, Riskonnect will use the information provided to contact you about your interest in the Service. We will only access the Optional Information for support purposes as part of the Service more fully described in the Riskonnect Master Subscription Agreement.
Riskonnect may also use your personal information for marketing purposes. For example, Riskonnect may use the Required Contact Information you provide to contact you to further discuss your interest in Riskonnect, the Service, and to send you information regarding Riskonnect, its affiliates and its partners, such as information about promotions or events.
Riskonnect uses Billing Information solely to verify the financial qualifications of prospective Customers and to collect payment for the Service. Riskonnect uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing. This intermediary is not permitted to store, retain, or use Billing Information except for the sole purpose of credit card processing on Riskonnect's behalf.
Riskonnect reserves the right to disclose personal information including, without limitation, personally identifiable information of Riskonnect's Customers or Visitors if required by law or if Riskonnect reasonably believes that disclosure is necessary to protect Riskonnect's rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
4. Use of "Cookies" or Other Data Collection Tools
A "Cookie" is a piece of information which a web server may place on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies are commonly used by websites to improve the user experience and have not been known to transmit computer viruses or otherwise harm your computer. Many Cookies last only through a single website session or visit. Others may have an expiration date or may remain on your computer until you delete them.
We may use Cookies for a number of purposes - for example, to maintain continuity during a user session, to gather data about the usage of our Website for research and other purposes, to store your preferences for certain kinds of information, preferences and marketing offers, or to store a user name or encrypted identification number so that you do not have to provide this information every time you return to our Website.
Our Cookies will track only your activity relating to your online activity on this Website, and will not track your other Internet activity. Our Cookies do not gather personally identifiable information.
You can decide if and how your computer will accept a Cookie by configuring your preferences or options in your browser. However, if you choose to reject Cookies, you may not be able to use certain portions of our online Service or Website features.
We may occasionally use other companies to set Cookies on our Website and gather Cookie information for us. In some cases, we may also use other companies to operate web servers, host websites, conduct surveys, or provide user service. We use the Cookie information gathered by these companies in the same manner as stated above.
In addition to the information we collect from Cookies, we also obtain information which you provide to us online - for example, when you sign up for e-mail updates, request additional information about our Service, or when you otherwise communicate with us. In some cases, we retain both the Cookie information and/or the information you provide to us online - for example, to complete a transaction you requested. In other cases, we only retain the Cookie and/or online information you give us if you request us to do so for your use in subsequent sessions.
5. Security
We restrict access to personal information collected about you from our Website to our employees and agents, our affiliates' employees and agents, our service providers including, without limitation, Salesforce.com, or others who need to know that information to provide the Service to you or in the course of conducting our normal business operations. We maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information. We protect our databases with various physical, technical and procedural measures and we restrict access to your information by unauthorized persons. We also advise all Riskonnect employees about their responsibility to protect personal information, and we provide them with appropriate guidelines for adhering to Riskonnect's business ethics standards and confidentiality policies.
