Privacy Policy
As the leading provider of automated security and compliance auditing solutions, nCircle understands the importance of protecting your information. We recognize that when you choose to provide us with information about yourself, you trust us to use it in a responsible manner. This Privacy Policy outlines our policies regarding the collection, storage, use and disclosure of information that we receive from users of the nCircle websites, www.nCircle.com or benchmark.ncircle.com or their affiliated sites (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Site.
What information do we collect?
In the course of visiting the Site and engaging in certain activities on the Site, including but not limited to requesting product information, downloading software, or entering contests, nCircle may ask you to provide us with personally identifiable information about yourself, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number and other information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”).
We may also collect other items of information that, when considered alone (e.g., zip code), cannot be used to contact or identify you (“Non-Identifying Information”).
When you visit the Site for any reason, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Site, pages of our Site that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our Site, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Site and for the Site’s technical administration, to increase our Site’s functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor it to our visitors’ needs. We also use this information to verify that visitors to the Site meet the criteria required to process their requests.
How do we use Personal Information we collect?
Personal Information that we collect is used only to respond to your inquiries, e.g., providing you with the information that you request, or to record and support your participation in the activities that you select.
Do we share your information with third parties?
Aggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information. We may share aggregated information that does not include Personal Information and we may disclose Non-Identifying Information and Log Data with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not contain your Personal Information.
Service Providers and Distribution and Reseller Partners. nCircle may share your Personal Information with third party companies and individuals that we engage to perform Site-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and improvement of the Site’s features) or to assist us in analyzing how the Site is used. We may also share your Personal Information with our distribution and reseller partners for the purpose of fulfilling your requests for nCircle products and services. All such third parties have access to your Personal Information only for these limited purposes and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement. nCircle cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of nCircle or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop any activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical, inappropriate or legally actionable.
Business Transfers. nCircle may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy.
How do we use cookies?
nCircle uses cookies to collect information regarding usage of the Site, solely for the purpose of improving the content, usability and functionality of the Site. A “cookie” is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for two purposes. First, we use persistent cookies to recognize return visitors to the Site. Second, we use session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Site, to better understand how you interact with the Site and to monitor aggregate usage by visitors to the Site and web traffic routing on the Site.
