Last revised on 29/03/2020

Introduction

SAGE CONNECT ("us", "we" or "Company") respects the privacy of its users (each, "you" or "User") and is committed to protecting the privacy of Users who access, visit, use or engage with our website and/or application(s) or any other services we provide (collectively: the "Services").

Our privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) will help you understand what types of information we collect through the Services, how we use it, and what choices you have. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and use it to make informed decisions. By using our Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and your continued use of the Services constitutes your ongoing agreement to it.

Grounds for data collection

Processing of your “Personal information” (meaning any information which may potentially allow your identification with reasonable means) is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations towards you, the provision of our Services, to protect our legitimate interests and for compliance with legal and regulatory obligations to which we are subject.

When you use our Services, you consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure and other uses of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

What information do we collect?

We may collect the following types of information from or about you:

Personal Information

Personal Information is individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable effort identify an individual. We gather the following types of Personal Information:

Registration details: When you sign-up and register to the Services, you will be asked to provide certain details about yourself, such as your full name, email address, phone number, physical address;
Payment transaction information: Some actions on our Services requires you to provide your payment details in order perform them, in such cases we will collect your payment information.
Communication information: We may collect information that you choose to include in your inquiry to us, for example from your communication with our support team via email, phone-calls, Skype or other means of communication.
Device information: Our Services collect specific types of technical details and information with regard to your device, software or hardware that may identify you, such as: IP address and geolocation as well as other online identifiers such as your device’s unique identifiers. These details are pseudonymized (cannot directly identify you) and are collected for the purpose of delivering relevant content and ads and operating and improving our Services (including services from our partners).
Voluntary information: We collect information which you provide us voluntarily. For example, when you respond to communications from us, or when you share additional information through your use of the Services.

Non-personal Information

Non-personal Information is non-identifiable information that, when taken alone, cannot be used to identify you. As such, we are not aware of the identity of the user from which the Non-personal Information was collected. We may also anonymize or de-identify the personal information collected by the Services or via other means so that the information cannot, on its own, personally identify you. Our use and disclosure of such non-personal information is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation and for any purpose.

Our servers automatically record certain information regarding the use of our Services. Such data may include information such as the website that a User was visiting before accessing our Services and other statistics related to our Services. We also perform statistical analysis on all of the data and metadata which is collected through our Services. We use this information to administer the Services and analyze this information to improve and enhance the Services by expanding their features and functionality. Such data is also used for troubleshooting errors and bugs as well as for research and analytics purposes about your use of the Services.

For the avoidance of doubt, if we combine Personal Information with Non-personal Information (e.g. analytics data), the combined information will be treated as Personal Information as long as it remains combined.

How do we use the information that we collect?

In addition to the purposes listed herein, the information we collect, which may include your Personal Information, is used for the following purposes:

For how long do we retain the information that we collect?

We retain the information that we collect from Users for as long as needed to provide our Services and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements (unless we are instructed otherwise).

We may rectify, replenish or remove incomplete or inaccurate information, at any time and at our own discretion.

How do we safeguard your information?

We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of your Personal Information. Your data is stored on secure servers and isn’t publicly available. We limit access of your information only to those employees or partners on a “need to know” basis, in order to enable the carrying out of the agreement between us.

However, we cannot guarantee that hackers or unauthorized personnel will not gain access to information despite our efforts. You should note that by using our Services, your information will be transferred through third party infrastructures which are not under our control. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security and privacy of your Personal Information or other content you transmit using the Service, and you do so at your own risk.

When you visit or access our Services we use (and authorize 3rd parties to use) pixels, cookies, events and other technologies (collectively, "Tracking Technologies"). Those allow us to automatically collect information about you, your device and your online behavior, in order to enhance your navigation in our Services, improve our Services’ performance, perform analytics and customize your experience. In addition, we may merge data we have with data collected through these tracking technologies and data we may obtain from other sources and, as a result, such data may become Personal Information.

We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of our Service. Google Analytics collects information such as how often Users visit our site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site, and plants a cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit. The cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google and we do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is detailed on the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser as described below.

Storing Tracking Technologies

We store Tracking Technologies when you visit or access our Services (typically, when you are access our Website). These are called "First Party Tracking Technologies". In addition, Tracking Technologies are stored by other third parties (for example our analytics service providers, business partners and advertisers) – these are called "Third Party Tracking Technologies".

Both types of Tracking Technologies may be stored either for the duration of your visit on our Services or for repeat visits.

How to Manage Your Tracking Technologies Settings

There are various ways in which you can manage and control your Tracking Technologies settings. Please remember that, by deleting or blocking Tracking Technologies, some of the features of the Services may not work properly or as effectively.
