Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of text that websites you visit can place on the
device you’re using to
make the visit—generally a computer or mobile device. Standing alone,
cookies do not personally
identify you—they merely recognize your Web browser.
First-party cookies are cookies set by us on our Site or the Services.
Third-party cookies are
set by the external providers whose services are used by our Site; these
external providers also
set their own cookies. Third-party cookies’ terms of use are governed by the
external provider’s
specific terms and conditions, which we have no control over.
We use cookies to make interactions with the Site and Services easy and
meaningful. When you use
the Site and choose to accept analytics cookies, we use these to optimize
the Site by collecting
and reporting information on how you use it. When you use the Services and
agree to our Terms, we employ analytics cookies for the same
reason.
We use Google,
HotJar, and
Hubspot
on the Site for analytics, and additionally use TrackJS on
the Services for the
same. HotJar and
Hubspot both set Third-Party cookies when you use the Site and choose to
accept analytics
cookies, or when you use the Services and agree to our Terms; the remaining
providers set only
First-Party Cookies.
We use the following external providers’ services on the Site: Twitter, Vimeo, and YouTube.
These external
providers may change
their terms of service, as well as purpose and use of cookies at any time.
No third-party
cookies will be installed on your device by these providers if you do not
view the content they
service.
We may update the external providers we use periodically.
Information we collect that is not PI
We collect information that is not PI in connection with use of the Site or
the Service, such as
login and device-related information (e.g., browser type, your IP address,
and the date and time
of day of your use). Such information may be considered PI in your
jurisdiction.
How we use information that is not PI
We may use collected information to enhance the visitor experience of the
Site or the Service, to
operate and maintain the Service, to investigate and understand how our
Service is used, to
monitor and protect the security and integrity of the Service, and to
analyze our business.
We analyze traffic to the site in various ways, including using a service
called Google
Analytics. We use this information to generate statistics and to measure
activity to improve the
usefulness of the Site and the Service.
Google Analytics is subject to the privacy policy of Google. By visiting the
Site or using the
Service, you are agreeing to the terms of the Google Privacy Policy that
apply to Google
Analytics. These terms can be found at “How Google uses data when you use
our partners’ sites or
apps”, located at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, or any
other URL Google may
provide from time to time.
We are not responsible for any changes made to the Google Privacy Policy or
of advising you of
such changes. We reserve the right to change analytical service providers at
any time without
notice.
What we collect that is PI
We collect the following PI from those who choose to purchase our paid plan:
name, address, email
address, phone number, credit card information and organization information.
For customers who use the free version of globetech we collect the following
information: name,
email, password and some social media information (e.g. Twitter handle) that
you may choose
provide to us.
We may also collect other PI if you contact us or otherwise give it to us
(e.g., in an email).
How we use and disclose PI
We use personal data to provide you with the Service per the Terms
and
Conditions, to enhance the visitor experience of the Service, to
operate and maintain
the Service, to investigate and understand how the Service is used, to
communicate with you
about using the Service, to monitor and protect the security and integrity
of the Service, and
to analyze our business.
If you consent to marketing communications the Company may also use
information you provide to
send you information regarding globetech.
We may disclose PI as required by law or in response to service of legal
process, such as a court
order, summons, subpoena, or the like.
We may share PI with our corporate affiliates and with business partners who
provide services
related to the Service (such as website hosting or technical support). These
business partners
do not have the right to use this PI for any purpose other than those
related to the Service.
Information about our users, including PI, may be disclosed or transferred to
entities now or in
the future affiliated with globetech or as part of any merger, acquisition,
change of control,
debt
financing, insolvency, bankruptcy or sale of our assets. Such information
may be used in the
businesses of any entity so receiving it.
Except as provided above, we will not sell or transfer your PI to third
parties.
Do not track
Currently, various browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that
relies on a technology
known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to Web sites’ visited by the
user about the user’s
browser DNT preference setting. We do not currently commit to responding to
browsers’ DNT
signals with respect to the Site, in part, because no common industry
standard for DNT has been
adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no
consistent standard
of interpreting user intent. However, we will make efforts to continue to
monitor developments
around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.
How you can
access or change the PI that you have provided
Once you have registered with us, you can access your profile, review the
information that is
stored, and revise that information.
Customer data
Customer data is all the information including text, images, location data,
other PI, or any
other files that you provide, or are provided on their behalf, to us through
your use of the
Service. We inform you that you are responsible for the provision of any PI.
We will not collect customer data. globetech only processes it for the
provision of the Service,
and
it will not be processed for any other purposes.
Children
We do not target, market to, or knowingly collect PI from children under the
age of thirteen.
Data retention
We retain your PI for up to 2 years, after which it is destroyed.
Data security
We use industry standard physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to
preserve the integrity
and security of your PI. We cannot, however, ensure the security of any
information you transmit
to the Service, and you do so at your own risk. Depending on where you live,
you may have a
legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing or by emailing
us at legal@globetech.com.
