This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) details the use and collection of your information by the website (the “Site”) and Apps operated and owned by PowerData Inc. (“us” or “we”) and governs your access to the content and services hosted on our website (the “Services”) and Apps.
We value your privacy and recognize our role in protecting your personal data. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using or proceeding to access the Sites. Your use of the Site and Services indicate that you are accepting the policies and practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect and Use
When we refer to “Personal Data,” we mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly, or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, or an online identifier.
PowerData collects information that you provide to us from your use of the Services.
Your Submissions to Us – PowerData will collect your Personal Data when you sign up for an online newsletter, register for an event, or contact us with a question or request. For example, if you submit a request to work with us, you may provide us with your name, email address, employment information, telephone number, address, and company. We use this information as necessary to respond to your request or inquiry and to provide and improve the Services and our products.
• Marketing and Other Informational Updates – With your consent and as otherwise permitted by law, we use your email address and other information we receive from and about you to contact you with information about our products and services and others’ products and services, provide special offers and promotions that may be of interest to you. You may withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing from such marketing communications. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before the withdrawal. We may also notify you periodically about important changes to the services. Withdrawing consent from marketing communications does not affect our ability to send you these communications, such as those related to providing services to you or responding to your requests.
• Contests, Surveys, Sweepstakes, and Promotions – From time to time you may be able to participate in contests, giveaways, surveys, sweepstakes or other similar promotions that we or third parties may sponsor. Participation may require sharing your Personal Data with us or third parties sponsoring the contest, giveaway, survey, sweepstakes or promotion, and you should check the rules to determine how your information will be used and shared with others. As a condition to receiving any awards or prizes, you may be required to provide additional information, to sign a release, or to authorize the use of certain information about you in marketing materials.
2. Information Sharing
We do not share Personal Data with any third-parties.
Legal and Other Similar Uses
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, PowerData may need to disclose Personal Data when required by law when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on PowerData. If we intend to turn over information related to you for any of these reasons, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with advance notice, unless we are prohibited from doing so by law or court order.
3. Global Privacy Control (GPC)
We honor the GPC signal. If you are on a browser that supports GPC, you may enable GPC through your browser. You will be able to opt-out of the sale/sharing or processing of your personal data or information through the browser. For more information on GPC, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.
4. Third-Party Content, Widgets, Links to Other Sites
Our Site may contain or link to content that is hosted and served by third-parties. These third-parties may collect information about you through the use of their own cookies, and web beacons may independently collect data or solicit Personal Data. PowerData is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. For questions about these sites, please consult their individual privacy policies. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by PowerData through our Site.
5. How We Protect Personal Data
PowerData has technical, administrative and physical safeguards in place to help protect against unauthorized access, use or disclosure of Personal Data we maintain. Under our security practices, access to personally identifiable information is authorized only for those who have a business need for such access, and sensitive records are to be retained only as long as necessary for business or legal needs, which are destroyed before disposal. Although we work hard to protect personal information we collect and store, no program is one hundred percent secure and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use or disclose personal information.
If you become aware of a security issue, please email us at privacy@powerdatainc.com. We will work with you to address any problems.
6. How Long We Keep Personal Data
We retain the information we collect about you for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose we collected it for and for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
7. Where Personal Data is Used and Stored
We are headquartered in the United States. Users are advised that their Personal Data may be hosted, transferred or processed on servers and databases located outside their resident country or other governmental jurisdictions that are not members of the EEA or recognized by the European Commission as possessing adequate privacy protections. Each of those jurisdictions maintain their own data protection laws. To provide adequate safeguards, standard contractual clauses (SCC) may be used when transferring your personal data internationally and solely as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
