1. Data Usage for Marketing Purposes

On some pages where Identity Automation collects Personal Data on our Website, Identity Automation may post a purpose statement that explains why your Personal Data will be collected. In all other cases where Identity Automation collects Personal Data, Identity Automation will use Personal Data in accordance with the purposes outlined below. Unless expressly noted in this Privacy Policy, Identity Automation will not transfer Personal Data without Your consent to third-parties who are not bound to act on Identity Automation’s behalf.

Use of Data:

Identity Automation may use the information to contact You to further discuss Your interest in our company and products, to send information regarding our company or partners, such as promotions and events, and to respond to Your requests for information.

 

At any time, You have the ability to opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us, but You may not opt out of administrative emails. 

 

Portions of the Identity Automation Website contain functions for collecting Personal Data including names and email addresses as well as an individual’s or account’s access history. We may also collect and track other personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information about You, such as: Your IP address, the type of browser You use, and the website You visited before visiting our Website or Identity Automation Platform.

Automatic Collection of Information:

Even if You only browse through an Identity Automation Website and read the information contained on any Identity Automation Website pages, Identity Automation will gather certain information about Your visit automatically. This information does not identify You personally, but may, for example, reflect how You found or were directed to or used Identity Automation’s Website. The Identity Automation Website may log Your computer’s IP address when You use any portion of the Website. An IP address is automatically assigned to Your computer when You access the internet and is used by web servers to identify Your computer. Identity Automation logs IP addresses for system administration, for auditing the use of the Website, and for collecting statistical information for marketing and other purposes.

 

It also may collect the name and URL of the website that You visited immediately preceding Your visit to Identity Automation’s Website. Identity Automation may use this type of non- Personal Data on a cumulative basis to better understand what pages Visitors and prospective customers access or visit, and Identity Automation may disclose this information to business and trade partners.

Voluntarily-Provided Information:

When You participate in, access, or sign up to receive any of Identity Automation’s services, activities, or online content, such as email publications, blogs, newsletters, or webinars, Identity Automation may receive Personal Data about You. Identity Automation will use Your Personal Data for a number of purposes which include, responding to Your requests for information, blogs or newsletters, adding Your details to Identity Automation’s list of persons who receive blog updates or other publications, and providing these to You on a regular or as-requested basis.

Identity Automation will also compile data based on responses received from Visitors in order to allow Identity Automation to analyze the experience of Visitors so that Identity Automation can improve the services that Identity Automation currently offers and to allow Identity Automation to predict future products or services that Identity Automation may consider offering. This information may also be used by Identity Automation for its business purposes and shared with Affiliates for their business purposes. 

 

The data that Identity Automation compiles from responses received from Visitors to any Website may also be shared with third parties that deliver services to Identity Automation. One of the purposes of sharing such information with third party service providers is to allow them and Identity Automation to analyze the profile of Visitors to any Identity Automation Website and help them and Identity Automation to provide a better Visitor experience. By using any Identity Automation Website and providing this information, You are agreeing to these uses of Your information. If You do decide to provide information through any Identity Automation Website or to otherwise contact Identity Automation, then it is implied that You consent to receiving a response from Identity Automation to Your email address or via other contact information that You provided to Identity Automation. 

 

Note that requesting information using any Identity Automation Website does not give You a right to receive a response. Other than as particularly described in this Privacy Policy, any requests for information will be responded to entirely at the discretion of Identity Automation, and there is no obligation on the part of Identity Automation to respond to such requests or to provide any responsive information unless by Federal or legal obligation.

  • Accuracy
  • Storage Limitation
  • Confidentiality and Integrity

 

Your privacy and security is of the utmost importance to us. We will always follow these principles and ask how you would like us (or our partners) to communicate with you.

Permitted transfers of information, either to third parties or within Identity Automation, include the transfer of data from one jurisdiction to another, including transfers to and from the United States.

This same provision is applicable for each Affiliate of Identity Automation.

 

In the event that Identity Automation is involved in a merger, reorganization, dissolution, sale of business or assets or similar event, information disclosed to or collected by Identity Automation may be transferred to Identity Automation’s successor, or to the purchaser of such assets, as applicable. You will be notified via email and a prominent notice on our Website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

 

Ownership and Storage of Information

 

Identity Automation owns the code, databases, and all rights to all Websites and any feedback You provide. 

 

Identity Automation may store Personal Data up to six months that You provide to Identity Automation or any of its Affiliates through any Website and will destroy such information in accordance with any policy or directive of Identity Automation or any of its Affiliates for destruction of data or as applicable. For so long as Identity Automation stores such information, Identity Automation will comply. To request Identity Automation remove your data, submit the Right to Erasure request form.

Any Website may contain or reference links to non-Identity Automation websites. The linked sites are not under the control of Identity Automation and Identity Automation is not responsible for the content of any third-party website or any link contained in a third-party website, or any changes or updates to such sites. The inclusion of a link within any Website does not imply any endorsement by or any affiliation with Identity Automation. Access to any third-party website is at Your own risk, and You should be aware that third-party websites may contain privacy policies that have terms that are different from that of this Privacy Policy.
