Privacy Statement and Policy

Effective as of March 24, 2016

Computingera Technologies. and its affiliates (collectively referred to in this document as “COMPUTINGERA”, “us” or other similar expressions) are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who visit and interact with their web sites (which we refer to as “Visitors” in this document) and of persons who are recipients of the Services, as this term is defined below (which we refer to as “Customers” in this document). This Privacy Statement and Policy (in short, the “Policy”) describes Computingera’s privacy practices in relation to the use of its web sites, the performance or delivery of Services to Customers and other interactions with people that are not Visitors or Customers.

Scope of this Policy

This Policy applies to the information we obtain or collect through our performance or delivery of Services to our Customers or when people otherwise interact or communicate with us either directly or through our web sites.

Here are some definitions of terms used throughout this Policy:

The “Computingera Websites” include our web sites, such as computingera.com (including the related sub-domains and pages).

The “Services” are the professional services we provide to our Customers.

A “Device” is any computer used to access the Computingera Websites, including without limitation a desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet, or other consumer electronic device.

Type of Information Collected

The term “Personal Information” refers to personal information that we may collect from your use of the Computingera Websites as well as your interactions with us offline such as through our performance of Services for a Customer or other various communications of a commercial nature such as newsletters, announcements and the like. Personal information is information that identifies an individual or relates to an identifiable person. Examples of Personal Information include information provided by:

  • a Customer representative about himself, including name, e-mail and physical address, telephone number, billing information, company affiliation and associated interests. Computingera may also collect other information about the Customer and some employees, for example through the Computingera Websites, as part of that interaction;

  • an employee at a prospect customer about himself including name, e-mail and physical address, telephone number, billing information, company affiliation and associated interests. Computingera may also collect other information about the prospect customer and some employees, for example through the Computingera Websites, as part of that interaction; or

  • an applicant for an open employment position, which would include e-mail and physical address, telephone number, presentation letter and cv content, internal notes and analysis on the applicant.

  • We may also collect other information through your interaction with and use of the Computingera Websites as well as your interactions with us offline, which does not reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to you. Such other information may include, but is not limited to, browser and Device information, data collected through automated electronic interactions, application usage data, demographic information, geographic or geo-location information, statistical and aggregated information. Statistical or aggregated information does not directly identify a specific person, but it may be derived from Personal Information. For example, we may aggregate Personal Information to calculate the percentage of Customers in a particular postal or zip code.

  • Personal Information

  • How Computingera Collects Personal Information

  • Computingera and our third party service providers may collect Personal Information and other information from a variety of sources that generally fall into three categories:

  • Direct Interactions: From your use of and interaction with us through the Computingera Websites and other activities such as submission of registrations and forms, or sales inquiries and transactions as well as in-person meetings in trade shows or other similar events.

  • Publicly Available Data / Data from Third Parties: Other data you may have made publicly available, such as social media posts or data provided by third party sources, such as marketing opt-in lists, or data aggregators.

  • Automated Interactions with Devices: From the use of technologies such as electronic communication protocols, cookies, embedded URLs or pixels, or widgets, buttons and tools. Although Computingera's use of Automated Interactions may change over time as technology evolves, the following descriptions are designed to provide you with additional detail about Computingera’s current approach to information collected from Automated Interactions. Electronic Communications Protocols: As is the case when you visit most websites and use most apps, Computingera may automatically receive information from you as part of the communication connection itself, which often consists of network routing information (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), your IP address (which may identify your general geographic location or company), and date and time. Computingera may also automatically receive and record information about your interaction with the Computingera Websites, such as clickstream information (when each Computingera webpage was visited and how much time was spent on the page), or general geo-location data. Cookies: Computingera’s servers will query your browser to see if there are "cookies" previously set by the Computingera’s Websites. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a web server to store on a web browser so it can later be read back from that browser. Cookies may collect information, including a unique identifier, user preferences, profile information, membership information, and general usage and volume statistical information. Cookies may also be used to collect individualized web site use data, provide electronic web site personalization, or conduct and measure the effectiveness of advertising in accordance with this Policy. Some cookies may remain on users' computers after they leave the Computingera’s Websites. While the majority are set to expire within 1-24 months of your last visit to the website that set the cookie, others may not expire because of their nature, like cookies that remember opt-out preferences. Your browser may provide you with information and control over cookies. You can set your browser to alert you when a cookie is being used, and accept or reject the cookie. You can also set your browser to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers. Users can generally disable the cookie feature on their browser without affecting their ability to use the site, except in some cases where cookies are used as an essential security feature necessary for transaction completion. Cookies, however, are important to the proper functioning of a site, and disabling them may degrade your experience and interfere with website features and customizations. Embedded Pixels and Similar Technologies: On the Computingera Websites, Computingera and its service providers may use embedded pixel technologies for the purposes of identifying unique user visits (as opposed to aggregate hits), and for advertising purposes. In addition, embedded pixels or other technologies may be used in e-mails and our online display advertising to provide information on when the e-mail or ad was opened to track marketing campaign responsiveness; information collected using these technologies may be associated with the recipient's e-mail address. Widgets, Buttons, and Tools: The Computingera Websites may include widgets, which are interactive mini-programs that run on our site to provide specific services from another company (e.g., links to bookmarked sites), along with buttons or other tools that link to other companies' services (e.g., a "Like" button or third party map). The widget, button or tool may collect and automatically send personal information, such as your e-mail address, or other information (such as your browser information, or IP address), to a third party. Cookies may also be set or used by the widgets, buttons or tools to enable them to function properly or for other purposes, which may include advertising. Information collected or used by a widget, button or tool, including cookie settings and preferences, is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it. Physical Location: We may collect the physical location of your device and use it to provide you with personalized location-based services or content. In some instances, you may be permitted to allow or deny such use of your device's location, but if you choose to deny such use, we may not be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services or content.
