Although you are not required to register to access individual sections of our site, you will be required to register and provide us with Personal Information when you visit other site sections. Your use of our site signifies your acknowledgment and consent to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not continue to use our site. Your continued use of the site signifies your acceptance of these terms and any changes in effect at the time of service.
We are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy rights. We created this Privacy Policy to give you (the user) notice of how your private information will (and will not) be used by us in connection with our website (together with its subdomains, content, and services) as well as through our on-demand support platform, tools, and services offered on the website. In simplified form (greater detail is below), our policy can be summarized as follows.
Personal Information is information about you that identifies you as an individual, for example, your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number. If you choose to register with us, you will be providing us with certain information, some of which identifies you personally, such as your email address and other registration information. From time to time, you may also provide us with additional information about yourself if you engage in any other transactions with us. For example, when you give us your phone number to seek customer support.
We ask for Personal Information such as your name and e-mail address when you register for a Global Softel, Inc. account to access the Services, or if you correspond with us (in which case we will also retain our responses). Where you are required to pay for Services, we will again ask for additional information, such as your credit card number and billing address. We may also retain any messages you send through the Services and collect the information you provide in the User Content you post to the Services. We may receive Personal Information about you from third parties, including information about your transactions, purchase history, relationships with various product and service providers, and your use of specific applications.
We collect information when you visit our site, use or interact with the Services, or visit our Publishers' websites that use our widget. This Information could include general clickstream behavior such as web pages viewed (including the URL addresses of such pages), search queries from which users are directed to a page, navigation from page to page through the Services, time spent on each page, and items that you click or select ("Usage Information"). This Usage Information may also include IP address, information about your geographic location derived from your IP address, and your Internet Service Provider's domain name.
We also collect and use information about your interactions with the Services in a manner and format that does not identify you as an individual ("Non-Personally Identifiable Information"). We may collect, use, and disclose Non-Personally Identifiable Information as set forth below.
Cookies Information: Like many websites, we mostly use cookies and pixel tags to collect this Usage Information. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters sent to your computer and stored on your hard drive when you visit a website; each website can send its cookies to your browser. A pixel tag is a small graphic file that allows us to measure the use of our Services. Pixel tags allow us to collect information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the title appears, the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears, the time (and length of time) the page containing the pixel tag is viewed, and the identification number (the long string of characters) of any cookie previously placed by that server on your computer. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Services (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take on the Services), and allow us or our business partners to track your usage of the Services over time. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Your browser may use persistent cookies on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser's directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some service features may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.
Cookies Options: We may use cookies to uniquely identify a browser, which gives advertisers the ability to show targeted ads relevant to you.
Analytics Information: We use both our and third-party analytics tools to measure traffic and usage trends for the Services. These tools collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including the web pages you visit, your browser add-ons, your browser's width and height, and other information that helps us improve the Services. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user.
Log File Information: Log file information is automatically reported by your browser when you access a web page. When you use our Services, our servers automatically record certain log file information. These server logs may include anonymous information such as your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, several clicks and how you interact with links on the Services, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.
Clear Gifs/Web Beacons Information: When you use the Services, we may employ clear gifs (also known as web beacons), which are used to track the online usage patterns of our users anonymously. We may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and which recipients click links. The Information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Services.
The form of consent required for collecting and using your Personal Information depends on what is reasonable in the circumstances. We may assume consent from your actions. For example, suppose you provide us with your Personal Information to register an account. In that case, we believe that we may also send you notices related to your account and bill you when appropriate. This is an example of implied consent. No consent is required for specific uses, such as to comply with a court order or investigate a breach of an agreement or applicable law, or for the benefit of de-identified Information.
In general, we assume your consent for all purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. If it is reasonable to do so, we will provide further notice at the point of collection. Suppose Personal Information collected or compiled is sensitive, or it is otherwise fit in the circumstances. In that case, we will provide you with an opportunity to agree, such as a check box expressly. Where consent is required to use your Personal Information, you may opt-out of our use of your Information.
Personal Information will not be shared with third parties unless:
You have consented.
We are permitted or required to do so by law.
We have engaged an authorized service provider to carry out services on our behalf. Personal Information may be transferred outside of your province and outside of Canada for processing or storage.
Can I opt-out of the collection, use, or disclosure of my Personal Information?
Sometimes. You can withdraw your consent, or opt-out, of collecting, using, or disclosing your Personal Information in certain situations. But where your Personal Information is reasonably necessary to provide you with the Services you requested or the operation of the Company Network, you cannot continue to use the Services and opt-out of the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information because it is a condition of service. To stop collecting, use, and disclose your Personal Information in these circumstances, you must terminate your account with us. To find out more about withdrawing your consent or to make a request, please contact us at (o).
We use Personal Information for the following purposes:

We will require that such third parties comply with this Privacy Policy.
share, transfer and assign such Information with parties connected with the contemplated or actual financing, insuring, sale, assignment, or another disposal of all or part of our business or assets, including to determine whether to proceed or continue with such transaction or business relationship or fulfill any records or other reporting requirements to such parties and such parties will be required to comply with this Privacy Policy and use such information only for the purposes for which it was provided;
for purposes as permitted or required by law, including without limitation to third parties if we believe you have violated our Terms and Conditions of Use if we need to comply with applicable law including lawful access requests, or for certain business transactions;
your Personal Information may be processed and stored outside of the province in which you reside and outside of Canada by a third-party service provider or us for the purposes set out in this policy, and under the laws of these jurisdictions, in certain circumstances, foreign courts, law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be entitled to access your Personal Information; and
To provide you with information and offers from us or third parties that we believe you may find useful or interesting, including newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, and other information on services and products offered by third parties or us.
Following termination or deactivation of your Global Softel, Inc. account, we may retain your Personal Information and User Content for a commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, or audit purposes. Furthermore, the Company may have and continue to use indefinitely all information (including User Content) contained in your communications to other Users or posted to public or semi-public areas, if any, of the Services after termination or deactivation of your account. The Company reserves the right but has no obligation to monitor the User Content you post on the Services. We reserve the right to remove any such information or material for any reason or no reason, including without limitation if in our sole opinion such information or material violates, or may violate, any applicable law or our Terms and Conditions of Use, or to protect or defend our rights or property or those of any third party. The Company also reserves the right to remove Information upon the request of any third party.
Please be advised that any information gathered on our Sites may also be used in the aggregate for research and development relating to our site and for future site development. We may also aggregate or otherwise strip data of all personally identifying characteristics and share that aggregated, anonymized data with third parties.
We have put physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect online. The Company applies security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the Information, such as retaining information in secure facilities and making Personal Information accessible only to authorized employees on a need-to-know basis.
Personal Information you share with us is stored on our database servers at Company data centers (in whatever country they may be located) or hosted by third parties who have entered into agreements with us that require them to observe our Privacy Policy.
The Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure that all Personal Information will be kept accurate, complete, and up to date. Individuals may challenge the accuracy and completeness of Personal Information about them and have it amended, as appropriate.
Any user can access the Personal Information about them that we have in our possession or control. You may access your account to update your Personal Information, or where that is not possible, you may request that your Personal Information be amended for purposes of accuracy and completeness by contacting us at (o). However, when you update information, we may maintain a copy of our records' unrevised information.
Some information may remain in our records after you delete such information from your account. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally.
If we alter our Privacy Policy, any changes will be posted on this page of our site so that you are always informed of the Information we collect about you, how we use it, and the circumstances under which we may disclose it.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, please send us a detailed message to [email protected], and we will try to resolve your problems.
Using this site or any other site on the Company Network, you signify your acceptance of our Privacy Policy, and you adhere to the terms and conditions posted on the site. By submitting your information, you agree that our Privacy Policy will govern it.
