If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use the collected personal data to respond to inquiries, contact you about your request, or for any other reason related to offering our products and services. We use personal data for these purposes because we have a legitimate business interest in providing tailored services to our customers that takes precedence over your rights, interests and freedoms to protect your personal data. We also use the personal data you provide for the following purposes relating to our business:

• Perform market research
• Market our products and services
• Determine effectiveness of our marketing efforts
• Operate our business and evaluate operations
• Develop and improve products and services
• Analyze our products, services and our website
• Administer our website and improve security

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or otherwise disclose the personal data that you provide to us or that we collect through aforementioned means, except as described below.

We may share personal data with service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as IT service providers, payment service providers, marketing providers, analytics providers, hosting providers and our business advisers. All service providers have entered into legally binding agreements that require them to use personal data only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and implement appropriate data security and confidentiality obligations according to applicable law. Percipience is not to be held liable by any misuse or handling of your personal data that breaches our privacy policy by any other service providers.

We may disclose your personal data in the below scenarios:

• We are required to do so by law or legal process (e.g., due to a court order or request from a law enforcement agency)
• We believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss
• In connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or other illegal activity
• In the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets, including reorganization, dissolution or liquidation, in which case your personal data will only be disclosed as necessary to the party to whom our business or assets are transferred

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How we protect your data

Percipience maintains technical and organizational safeguards to ensure an appropriate level of security and confidentiality for your personal data, in accordance with our policies and applicable law.

What data breach procedures we have in place

We may transfer personal data that we collect about you to recipients in countries other than the country in which it was originally collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the personal data. When we transfer your personal data to recipients in other countries, we will protect that personal data as described in this Privacy Statement.

Your personal data will be stored in the US and may be transferred to or accessed by Percipience and its affiliates in the US for administration purposes. We will comply with applicable legal requirements by providing adequate protection for the transfer of personal data to recipients in countries outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Should these data recipients not have been recognized by the European Commission as to provide adequate data protection, we ensure that appropriate safeguards will be observed that are aimed at protecting your data to the same degree as that mandated by the European Commission, such as by entering into the European Commission’s EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the data recipients, or by ensuring that the data recipient is certified to the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. Contact us to learn more about the safeguards we have in place.

What third parties we receive data from

Our website may contain links to third-party sites not operated by us, such as social media platforms and business partner websites. Linked sites are not controlled by Percipience and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party sites. If you choose to use third-party sites, personal data collected by the third- party site will be controlled by the Privacy Statement of that third party.
