Introduction
SaveOnCloudCosts (“SaveOnCloudCosts”) (also referred to below as “we”, “us” and “our”) is a privacy conscious organization. This Privacy Notice explains how we process your information collected from (1) the web pages of the SaveOnCloudCosts.com website that are designated as United States in the lower right hand corner or web pages of any other website with respect to which this Privacy Notice is posted or linked (such web pages are collectively referred to as the “Website”), (2) downloadable applications accessed from mobile devices with respect to which this Privacy Notice is posted or linked (“Mobile Apps”) or (3) any other mode of interacting with you relating to SaveOnCloudCosts communications, such as online or offline newsletters and magazines, that reference this Privacy Notice (“Communications”). By using the Website or Mobile Apps, or continuing to receive Communications, you agree to the use of such information in accordance with this Privacy Notice. This Privacy Notice also applies to your personal information that we may have collected from data brokers in connection with our marketing activities.
Information collection
We may collect personal information when you interact with the Website or Mobile Apps, such as if you choose to register or create a user profile on the Website or a Mobile App (e.g., to gain access to specific content, attend a hosted event, respond to a survey or request Communications about specific areas of interest), or otherwise provide it to us. Depending on the specific Communication you are receiving, or the web page of the Website or Mobile App you are using, such information may consist of your name, current job title, company address, email address, telephone and fax numbers, correspondence with you, which newsletters you subscribe to, and other information you provide to us.
When using a Mobile App, in addition to contact information, we or our service providers (such as mobile operating system and platform providers) may also collect information relating to your device, including your device model, operating system, browser type, unique device identifier, IP address, mobile phone number, mobile network carrier, location, and the way you are using the Mobile App. The information collected will depend on the functionality of the specific Mobile App you are using. If any other information is collected relating to your use of a Mobile App, such information will be specified in the Mobile App.
We may also collect personal information if you register for the Website using a third-party social network account (e.g., LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter). For example, the Website or a Mobile App may allow you to login using your social network account credentials. We may collect the user name associated with that social media account and any information or content you have permitted the social media network to share with us, such as your profile picture, email address, and birthday. The information we collect may depend on the privacy settings you have with the social network site, so please review the privacy statement or policy of the applicable social network site. When you access the Website through your social network account, you are authorizing us to collect and use your information in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
The Website may also collect content that you provide, including postings on blogs, forums, wikis and other social media applications and services that we may provide.
We may also collect similar personal information about you from data brokers in connection with our marketing activities.
We do not usually seek to collect your sensitive personal information (i.e., data relating to your social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport numbers; non-SaveOnCloudCosts account username or number or financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with credentials allowing access to such accounts; racial or ethnic origin; immigration or citizenship status; religious or philosophical beliefs; trade union membership; genetic or biometric data for identification purposes; precise geolocation; political opinions; medical or health conditions; or sex life or sexual orientation. Sensitive personal information also includes the contents of your personal mail, email, or text messages unless we are the intended recipient). We will obtain your explicit consent to collect and use such information where required by law.
Log information, cookies and web beacons
The Website and Mobile Apps collect standard Internet log information including your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring website addresses. To ensure that the Website, Mobile Apps and Communications are well managed and to facilitate improved navigation, we or our service provider(s) may also use cookies (small text files stored in a user’s browser) or web beacons (electronic images that allow us to count users who have accessed particular content and to access certain cookies) to collect aggregate data. Additional information on how we use cookies and other tracking technologies and how you can control these can be found in our Cookie Notice.
Information use
We collect and use your personal information with your consent to provide you with access to the Website, Mobile Apps and Communications, or where we have a legitimate business interest in or other legal basis for, such collection and use. The personal information you submit to us may be used to manage our relationship with you, including any of your requests, or to customize or improve the Website or a Mobile App and related services offered to you.
We may also use your personal information for marketing purposes, including to deliver cross-contextual behavioral or targeted advertising based on your interactions across nonaffiliated websites or online applications, or to send you promotional materials or communications regarding services provided by us that we believe may be of interest to you. We may also contact you to seek feedback on services or for market or other research purposes. Your personal information may also be used to protect our rights or property and that of our users.
You may at any time request that we discontinue sending you Communications, emails or other correspondence.
To the extent that we possess any personal information about you that has been de-identified, we maintain and use such de-identified information without re-identifying such information. Such de-identified information is not subject to the terms of this Privacy Notice.
Selling of information
We do not sell your personal information that is collected under this Privacy Notice except to the extent we may use it for cross-contextual behavioral or targeted advertising. To the extent we sell other personal information that falls outside the scope of this Privacy Notice, such practices are described in our Data Analytics Privacy Notice.
Information retention
We retain your personal information for as long as the information is reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. We also may retain your personal information to comply with our legal or professional obligations, enforce our agreements, or resolve disputes.
Disclosure of information to third parties
Your personal information may be disclosed to other third parties in order to respond to your requests or inquiries; as part of a corporate transaction (such as a sale, divestiture, reorganization, merger or acquisition); or where those parties handle information on our behalf.
Personal information may also be disclosed to law enforcement, regulatory or other government agencies, or to other third parties, in each case to comply with legal, regulatory, or national security obligations or requests.
In relation to Mobile Apps, we may also share your usage and personal information with mobile carriers and platform providers, as well as any other entities described in any particular Mobile App in connection with the operation of the Mobile App.
In relation to Communications, we may also share your personal information with service providers in connection with the delivery of such Communications.
All of these disclosures may involve the transfer of personal information to countries or regions without data protection rules similar to those in effect in your area of residence.
By providing information with respect to a Communication or through the Website or a Mobile App, you are consenting to the disclosures described above.
Any personal information that we have referenced above under “Information collection” may be disclosed to the third parties identified in this section for the purposes set forth herein.
