Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that we receive through our Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our Services.

In this Privacy Policy:

We’ll refer to our website as the “Site”.
We’ll refer to all the products and services we provide, individually and collectively, as the “Services”.
We’ll refer to you, the person or entity accessing our Site or using our Services, as “you” or “your” or (if you are a purchaser of our Services), our “customer”.

Definitions

Data Controller: For general data protection regulation purposes, the “Data Controller” means the organization who decides the purposes for which, and the way in which, any Personal Information is processed. Our customers are the Data Controllers.

Data Processor: A “Data Processor” is an organization which processes Personal Information for a Data Controller. We are the Data Processor for our customers. As a Data Processor, we are bound by the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), tailored by the Data Protection Act 2018.

Processing: Data processing is any operation or set of operations (whether automated or not) performed on Information. Examples of data processing explicitly listed in the text of the UK GDPR are:

(a) collection, recording, organisation, structuring or storage,

(b) adaptation or alteration,

(d) disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available,

(e) alignment or combination, or

(f) restriction, erasure or destruction

Personal data: Personal data is any information which is about you, from which you can be identified. Personal Information includes information such as an individual's name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address. Personal Information also includes information about an individual's activities, such as information about his or her activity on Site or our Services, and demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences, when any of this information is linked to personal information that identifies that individual. Personal Information does not include "aggregate" or other non-personally identifiable information. Aggregate information is information that we collect about a group or category of products, services, or users that is not personally identifiable or from which individual identities are removed.

We maintain organizational, technical, and administrative procedures designed to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized access, deletion, loss, alteration, and misuse. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you believe that your interaction with us is not secure, please contact us immediately at privacy@IOTICS.com.

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from IOTICS.

Cookies

We use cookies to remember information so that you don’t have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Site, to understand and save your preferences for future visits, to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction, to provide custom, personalized content, support, or information, including advertising. Unlike persistent Cookies, session Cookies are deleted when you log off from the Services and close your browser.

Please note, however, that if you don’t accept Cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of the Site or the Services. At present, there is no industry standard for recognizing Do Not Track browser signals, so we do not currently respond to them.

How do we handle global transfers and processing of your Personal Information?

Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations, or where we engage service providers. This means that we may collect your Personal Information from, transfer it to, and store and process it in the United States and other countries outside of where you live. For example, some of our third-party providers may be located in different countries. Where this is the case, we will take steps to make sure the right security measures are taken so that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Any transfer will be based on an “adequacy decision” as referred to in Article 45 of the GDPR or the UK GDPR. Or based on a Standard Contractual Clauses (also known as "model contract clauses", “model clauses” or “MCCs”) set by the European Commission and adopted by the ICO.
