PRIVACY POLICY

CargoMetrics Technologies Inc.

 

I.               Introduction

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes the type of information that CargoMetrics Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) gathers from users of the Company’s website (the “Site”) and how the Company uses that information. By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not access or use the Site.

The Site is intended to provide users with information about the Company and provide users with the opportunity to communicate with the Company on certain discrete issues (all users of the Site, “Users” or “you”).

The Policy does not apply to information that is not collected through the Site, including information that is collected by any third party website, app, or service, or information that is provided to the Company in some other way (such as by mail or in-person).  Third party websites, apps, and services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read and understand prior to use.

The Policy is a part of the Company’s accompanying Terms of Service.

The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change the Policy at any time, which change will be effective 10 days following posting of revisions to the Policy on the Site.  Your continued use of the Site 10 days following such posting means you accept those changes.

If the Company makes a material change in how we use Personal Information under the Policy, the Company will notify you by means of a notice on the Site prior to the change becoming effective.

II.             What Information Does the Company Collect?

The Site occasionally collects Personal Information from or about Users. “Personal Information” means information that can be used to identify an individual.  The Company may also collect information that may not be used to identify an individual.  

A.             Information We Collect

The Company collects information in the following ways:

1.              Information Users Provide Directly

The Company collects Personal Information and other information directly provided by Users as part of using the Site, such as information as part of an inquiry regarding employment, information submitted as part of sending a question to the Company, or information submitted in order to receive additional information from the Company.  Such information may include name, address, email address, and other information that a User chooses to submit.

2.              Automatic Information Collection

The Company may gather information about the device that a User uses to access the Site, such as the following:

  • Usage Details – The Company may automatically collect certain details of access to and use of the Site, including traffic data, location data, logs, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on or through the Site.
  • Device Information – The Company may collect information about your device and internet connection, including the device’s unique device identifier, IP address, operating system, browser type, and mobile network information.

3.              Information Tracking

The Company may use various technologies to collect information about and track use of the Site.

  • Cookies – A cookie is a small file placed on your device by the Site. It is possible to configure devices to refuse to accept cookies; however, doing so may make parts of the Site not function properly.
  • Web Beacons – Portions of the Site may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit the Company, for example, to count users who have visited those pages and for other related statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity).

III.           Use of Information

The Company may use information from Users to operate, improve, and deliver the Site.  These uses may include providing you with a more effective User experience; making the Site easier to use by eliminating the need to enter the same information repeatedly; performing research and analysis aimed at improving the Site; diagnosing or fixing problems with the Site; and displaying content customized to your interests, preferences, and location.

The Company also uses information from Users to communicate with Users.  The Company may send certain mandatory service communications, such as welcome letters, information on technical service issues, and security announcements.

If you register and provide your email address, we will send you administrative and promotional emails. If you wish to opt out of promotional emails, you may do so by following the “unsubscribe” instructions in the email. All users receive administrative emails, and so you cannot opt out of them.

 

IV.           Sharing and Disclosure of Information

The Company will not share Personal Information except as provided for by this Policy.  The Company may also share other information as provided by this Policy.

A.             Affiliates

The Company may share information collected by the Site with businesses that are legally part of the same group as the Company, or that become part of that group.

B.              Third Party Service Providers

The Company may occasionally hire service providers to provide limited services on its behalf, such as providing customer support, hosting websites, or performing statistical analysis. These service providers will be permitted to obtain only the Personal Information they need to deliver services to the Company. They will be required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and will be prohibited from using it for any other purpose, and to treat such Personal Information in accordance with this Policy.

C.              Other Disclosures

The Company may disclose Personal Information or other information collected from Users if the Company has a good faith belief that disclosure of such information is helpful or reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; (ii) enforce any applicable terms of service, including investigations of potential violations thereof; (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud or security issues; or (iv) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of the Company, our Users, yourself or the public.  The Company may be required to disclose Personal Information in response to a lawful request by a public authority, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

D.             The Company may disclose your personal information with your consent.

E.              Information that is Not Personal Information

F.                          Business Transitions
