Cognocys Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") describes Cognocys' policies in
connection with its use and disclosure of information collected or obtained
from visitors to the Cognocys web site. Please read this Privacy Policy
carefully.
Cognocys will share your information with outside parties only as described in
this Privacy Policy, or where required by law or in the good-faith belief that
such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law,
cooperate with law enforcement agencies, or comply with a legal process served
on Cognocys or our web site.
Cognocys reserves the right to modify its Privacy Policy at any time as
described below, and any such change shall apply to any use of the Site
occurring subsequent to the effective date of such change.
Types of Information Collected
Cognocys collects certain personal and corporate information from you when you
register for a password, as well as when you access and use the Cognocys
web site. This information includes your name, title, address, telephone
number, and email address. Cognocys also receives and records information from
your browser, including your IP Address, the type of browser you are using,
the URL you just came from, the URL you are going to, and any information or
page(s) you request.
Cognocys may also use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain
pages of our site to help analyze our web page flow, measure promotional
effectiveness, and to promote security. "Cookies" are small files placed on
your hard drive that assist us in providing customized services. We may offer
certain features that are only available through the use of a "cookie". The
use of cookies in many cases allows you to enter your password less
frequently during a session. Cookies can also help us provide information
that is targeted to your interests. Most cookies are "session cookies,"
meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end
of a session. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser
permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on
our site and you may be required to reenter your password more frequently
during a session.
Cognocys may also collect information by seeking your response to inquiries or
by receiving information from users unsolicited.
Cognocys is the sole owner of the information it gathers on its site.
Use of Information
The information collected by Cognocys is used primarily for purposes of
monitoring and regulating traffic on our web site. Cognocys may also use such
information to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyze site
usage, improve our products and services, and to improve or customize our
site's content, layout, and services.
As a matter of policy, Cognocys does not sell, rent, or share with any third
party information collected from our web site, including any personally
identifiable information about you. Cognocys may use your information to
contact you and deliver information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to
your interests, such as administrative notices, product offerings, and
communications relevant to your use of the site. By accepting the Terms of Use
and this Privacy Policy, you expressly agree to receive this information.
Cognocys may aggregate its user profile information to derive general
demographic and statistical information about its customers and how they
interact with Cognocys. The aggregate information will not identify users
specifically. This information will be used internally to improve our web site,
service offerings, operations and customer service. Cognocys may also share
aggregated demographic information with third parties, such as advertisers and
business partners. No one with whom Cognocys shares this aggregated
information will be able to identify you or contact you without your
consent.
Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your
private communications and other personally identifiable information will never
be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of
example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose
information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances,
third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private
communications, or users may abuse or misuse your information that they
collect from our site. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to
protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your
personally identifiable information or private communications will always
remain private.
Third-Party Service Providers
We may use third-party service providers to facilitate the operation of the
Site or the development, distribution, promotion and sale of our products and
services. In connection with such activities, we may provide directly to
such service providers some of your personally identifiable information.
In some instances, the third-party service provider may collect information
directly from you (such as the situation where we ask an internal service
provider to conduct a survey for us). In these cases, you will be notified of
the involvement of the third-party service provider, and all information
disclosures you make will be strictly optional. In all cases, the third-party
service providers' use of information we supply them is restricted by
confidentiality agreements. If you provide additional information to a
third-party service provider directly, then their use of your information is
governed by their applicable privacy policy.
Other Corporate Entities
Cognocys reserves the right to share Collected Information with Cognocys
subsidiaries, affiliates, and parent entities now or hereafter existing. This
Privacy Policy shall govern the use and disclosure of information provided to
these entities.
Changes
Cognocys may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended
terms on our web site. All amended terms shall automatically be effective 30
days after they are initially posted on our site.
