How and Why We Use Personal Information

Enquiries, Sales, and Administration

As part of a purchase, product or service enquiry, request for information, and for account administration, we collect information such as your name, country, job title, company information, postal address, e-mail address, and telephone number. If you have made an enquiry about us or our products or services, either online or over the phone, we will use information you provide to respond to the enquiry or to take other steps at your request, before you enter into a contract. For example, we collect the e-mail addresses and additional contact details of those who send e-mails to request information. We may record calls with sales or customer services representatives for training and monitoring purposes.

If you have registered for or purchased a product or services, including on a trial basis, the information you provide will be used to deliver that product or service, communicate about it, provide support for it, and handle payments, as is necessary for the performance of the contract entered into with us. If information about you is relevant to certain services or products and is freely available through public sources, such as on a website related to your work or profession, we may use this information to provide you with our products.

Marketing

We will use your personal information to send you marketing e-mails, including information about opportunities to participate in offers, services, and events. Depending on the nature of your interaction with us and the laws of the country where you live, you may have actively given us your consent for this, by opting in, or we may be entitled to rely on your implied consent or our legitimate interests. We will provide you with the opportunity to opt out of future marketing e-mails by providing information on how to do this when you provide us with your personal information and in every marketing e-mail sent.

Customer and Prospect Management

We may use your personal information, combined with publicly available data and demographic data, to maintain our customer database and carry out internal analysis of the usage of our products and services. We also collect information when providing access to locked premium Site content. We do this to improve our services, develop new products, identify prospects, and predict future customer behavior. This may also include automated profiling and campaign management techniques.

Tracking and Analytics, including Cookies and Location Data

To understand and measure your online experience and determine what products, services, and promotions are likely to be of interest to you, we may combine visitor session information, or other information collected through tracking technologies, with personally identifiable information. For example, we may use technical methods in e-mails to determine whether recipients have opened, forwarded, or clicked on links in e-mails and whether a recipient accessed the Site or initiated an enquiry. The Site also uses cookies, which record the pages visited and the actions taken on a website but do not contain any personal information. From time to time, we may use cookies or similar tools to administer the Site, track your activity on the Site, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use to improve the Site, and offer timesaving or personalized features on the Site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies. If you prefer, you can usually modify your browser setting to disable or reject cookies. Deleting your cookies or setting your browser to decline cookies may cause the Site or some of its features may not work or may not work as designed.

Third Parties

This Site contains links to websites of third parties, including Teknicor business partners. If you access third party resources from our Site, we may share your personal information with that third party. For example, when you register for an in-person or digital event, we may share your registration information with a sponsor or host of such event. For purchases, payment card processors must collect and use payment information, including banking details and billing addresses, to facilitate transactions. If you apply for a job with us through our Site, you will submit personal information via a third party website. In instances such as these, the third party's privacy policy will apply to the personal information collected and used for the purposes of the transaction.
Third parties may also share information about you with us, which we will use in accordance with this policy. If you want to know how a third party will use your data, please review their privacy policy.

International Data Transfers

As an international business, and because of the technologies we use, we may transfer your data to our locations or third party service providers in countries that do not guarantee the same level of protection for your personal information. However, we will also ensure it remains protected in accordance with the provisions of this Policy pursuant to contractual agreements.

How We Protect Personal Information

Any personal information given to us will be treated with the utmost care and security. Physical and technical measures are used to keep data safe and prevent unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of your personal information. We require that our third-party service providers and our corporate affiliates safeguard your personal information and limit their processing of your personal information to that which is necessary for the purposes of providing services to us.

All reasonable steps are taken to ensure that your personal information is kept secure from unauthorized access, but we cannot guarantee it will be secure during the transmission process because this transmission is not controlled by us.

How Long We Keep Personal Information

We will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary and as permitted or required by applicable laws.

How to Update Your Personal Information and Marketing Preferences

We want you to remain in control of your personal information. We try to ensure that the personal information held about you is accurate and up-to-date. If you are a registered user, you can access your account information and make corrections or updates from your profile.
We will always give you the opportunity to opt out of future marketing communications. You will receive information on how to opt out when your personal information is collected and every marketing e-mail will contain the same information. You may opt out of our marketing lists by following the directions at the bottom of our e-mails.
