Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices with respect to personal information and content that we receive about you when you use our Web site, mobile sites, mobile applications and other internet points of presence that we host or control (collectively, our “Site”). If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please contact us any time at privacy@govini.com.
1. SCOPE OF POLICY; ELIGIBILITY
Scope. This Privacy Policy describes our practices with respect to the collection, use and sharing of personal information when you use our Site. It governs your activity on all of our Site, but does not cover any third party Web sites or applications that we do not control. By using or accessing our Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy, as well as our Terms of Use.
2. INFORMATION WE RECEIVE ABOUT YOU
Account Information. When you register to use our subscription-based government analytics service (the “Subscription Service”), we collect your name, title, email address, company name, business address, phone number, fax number, and geographical preferences for the searches you conduct on the Service, and a password. We may give you the opportunity to provide other information to display as part of a profile visible on the Site, in connection with content you submit, or for us to contact you or provide specific services to you. – Billing Information. If you sign up for a paid account or other paid services, and pay by credit card, we collect billing information such as your credit card number and its expiration date, security code and billing address. – Content You Submit. In connection with sales inquiries and requests for product demonstrations, our Site asks you to provide your first and last name, business email address, phone number and company name. We also give you the opportunity to submit job inquiries via the Site and upload resumes (which would include personal information), in which case we ask for your name, email address, phone number and LinkedIn profile. Finally, our Site allows users to post content and information that is visible to other users. You should avoid submitting personal information when you post content, because we do not remove or “scrub” personal information from content submitted by users. – Information About Activity on Our Site. We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Site. We keep track of your “clicks” and pages you view on our Web site. This includes information that is specific to the computer or device you use to access our Site, but does not include any information personally identifiable to you. We use “cookies” and obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses the Site, such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer, information about your browser software and operating system, and the date and time you access our site. “Cookies” are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide certain features on the Site. The “Help” feature in most Web browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable some cookies altogether. Keep in mind that disabling cookies may result in some features of the Site not working properly.
3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
To Provide, Manage and Improve the Site and Our Services. We may use content and profile information posted by our users to make the Site and its features available. We may use your information to customize certain of the Site’s features for you. – To Contact You. We will use your email address or other contact information you give us to contact you with announcements related to our services.
4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
Third Party Service Providers. We rely on some third party service providers to assist us in operating the Site. For example, we may use third parties to host our Site, process credit card transactions, send email messages, and provide search results. When we provide your personal information to these third party service providers, they will possess it for only a limited time, and we put contractual and technical protections in place to limit their use and disclosure of your information. – Business Transfers. If Govini is (or its assets are) acquired by another company, personal information and content you posted to the Site would be among the assets transferred to the acquirer. In the event of such an acquisition, the Privacy Policy in force at the time would continue to apply your information. – To Our Affiliated Companies. We may share all personal information and content submitted to the Site among our parent, subsidiary and other affiliated companies. This Privacy Policy applies to all of our affiliated companies. – To Protect Govini and Others from Liability or Harm. We release posted content and personal information when we believe we must do so to comply with the law, to enforce our Terms of Use, or to protect the safety and rights of Govini itself or our users. – Information You Share With Other Users. The Site may allow you to share comments and other information with other users. You should understand that even though our Terms of Use imposes certain limitations on distributing or re-using posted content, other users with whom you share content might distribute, copy, or re-share your content on other Web sites or other locations. We assume no responsibility for such actions by other users. – Aggregated Information. We may sell or share non-personally identifiable, aggregated information demographic data or data about user activity on our Site with our business partners or other users of our Sites. – With Your Consent. In addition to the circumstances described above, we may also share your personal information or content with third parties if you give us your consent.
5. HOW TO VIEW AND EDIT YOUR INFORMATION
Personal Information and Payment Information. You can view and modify your name, company name, contact information and geographical search preferences at any time from your “Profile” page on the Site. – Account Deactivation. If you wish to delete your account, please email us at accounts@govini.com requesting account deletion. Note that any comments, reviews and other content you may have submitted may remain available for view on the Site.
6. SECURITY
We take reasonable precautions to maintain the security and integrity of your personal information, including storage of your personal information and payment information on a secure server behind a firewall.
