• Cookies: We may collect information about you regarding your use of our Services or that we collect automatically about your visit to our Website through the use of cookies. Cookies, a harmless small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters, are deployed to your computer or mobile device so as to uniquely identify your presence when you visit our Website. TechConnectr may use session cookies and persistent cookies for the purpose of tracking various data points. Use of these cookies can also help to speed your access to the Website as they serve as ‘reminders’ as to who you are to our programming. They may help us remember your username and preferences, analyze how our website is performing or allow us to recommend content we believe you will be interested in. While we recommend that you allow these cookies to perform their tasks, you may adjust your computer’s settings to restrict or refuse them. However, some features or sections of the Website may not function properly, or not all, if the ability to accept cookies is disabled. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personal information you submit while on our site.
• Clear .GIFs: TechConnectr may choose to utilize “clear .GIFs” to track the online usage patterns of our Users in a non-personally identifiable manner. Additionally, TechConnectr may also use clear .GIFs in HTML-based emails dispatched to Users so as to track which emails are being opened by the recipients. This act helps TechConnectr to determine active and inactive email addresses.
• Log File Data: When you log into our system, our servers will automatically record and archive certain information that web-browsers send whenever visiting a website. These server logs may include information vital to validating your authorization to access your account and/or Services. Information, such as a Web request, Internet Protocol (the “IP”) address, browser type, browser language, referring pages, exit pages and visited URLs, platform type, click counts, pages viewed and in what order, time spent, the date and time of the request, and other important data is necessary to validate and authorize a User’s entry and activity on the Website.

 

Supplementing Data

TechConnectr may collect information from other sources to help us correct or supplement our records, improve the quality or personalization of our Services to you, and prevent or detect fraud. We work closely with trusted third parties (for example, business partners, service providers, sub-contractors, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers, and fraud protection services) and may receive and combine this new information with information we already have about you. We use this data to update and analyze our records, and to provide products and additional services that you may be interested in. In addition to receiving data from these third parties, TechConnectr may have legitimate interests to share the information it has collected from you with them.

Your rights to access, to limit use, and to limit disclosure: European Union and Swiss individuals have the right to access personal information about them, and to limit use and disclosure of their personal information. If you wish to request access, to limit use, or to limit disclosure, please email TechConnectr privacy team at Bob@TechConnectr.com or send a written request to the contact information provided below.

 

Disclosure of Personal Information

a. TechConnectr will not rent or sell your personal information to others but may disclose personal information with third-party vendors and service providers that work with TechConnectr. We will only share personal information to these vendors and service providers to help us provide a product or service to you. Examples of third parties we work with are call center operators, shippers, servicers, information processors, financial institutions, data appending and surge scoring companies. These third parties only have access to personal information necessary for them to complete their service.

b. TechConnectr provides both personal and non-personal information to subsidiaries, affiliated companies, and other businesses or persons for the purpose of processing such information on behalf of TechConnectr. TechConnectr may use third parties such as a credit card processing company to bill Users for transactions, and a credit scoring company to determine business credit scores (when applicable, for extending credit terms to Users upon request). At all times, these parties are required to agree to process such information in compliance with this Privacy Policy, and we deploy reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information.

c. TechConnectr reserves the right to disclose personal and non-personal information that is believed, in good faith, to be appropriate or necessary for the purpose of providing Services. Other causes of release of data may be due to, but not limited to: (i) taking precautions against liability issues; (ii) to assist government enforcement agencies; (iii) to investigate and defend TechConnectr against third party claims or allegations; (iv) to protect the security or integrity of the Website and/or Services; and/or (v) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of TechConnectr or others.

d. TechConnectr does not share personal information with other non-affiliated thirdparty companies for their commercial use or marketing use without your consent, except as part of Services.

e. TechConnectr shares non-personal information, such as anonymous user data and traffic data, with interested third parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns and trends analysis for certain content, advertisements, promotions, services, and/or functionality of our Websites.

f. TechConnectr may release any information available if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with law or the powers of government enforcement agencies. Other causes for release of information could be for needs to comply with copyright laws or to respond to a court order, subpoena, and/or search warrant. We also may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

g. TechConnectr’s accountability for personal information it receives pursuant to the EUUS and Swiss-US Privacy Shield (“Privacy Shield Principles”) and subsequent transfer of that data to third parties is detailed in the Privacy Shield Principles. TechConnectr may be liable pursuant to the Privacy Shield Principles if said third party agents claim that TechConnectr processes personal information in a manner inconsistent with pursuant to the Privacy Shield principles, unless TechConnectr can demonstrate that it is not responsible for the act or omission giving rise to the damage. In cases of onward transfer to third parties of data of EU and Swiss individuals received, pursuant to the Privacy Shield Principles, TechConnectr is potentially liable.

Data Security

TechConnectr utilizes commercially reasonable physical, technical, and managerial safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of personal information and to protect it against unauthorized access or use, alteration, unlawful or accidental destruction and accidental loss. However, TechConnectr cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to TechConnectr or place upon the Website and you do so at your own risk. This is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, altered, disclosed, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. Personal information may be transferred outside TechConnectr to data processors, but they will only act on our instructions to provide the necessary services.

If an underage person provides such information and TechConnectr has unknowingly collected said information, then TechConnectr will take the appropriate steps to delete this information immediately.
