COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Introduction
You may choose to give us personal information directly in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us your name and contact information to communicate with you, to process an order, to register for a service, to provide you with a subscription, or to do business with us if you are a supplier or
a business partner.
If you tell us that you do not want us to use your information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your request, we will respect your wishes.

Registration
When you wish to receive information, download publications, enroll for a live or virtual event or request a trial, we may ask you to provide your name and business contact information, as well as other information in connection with your request. We use this information in connection with your request and to communicate with you.
This information may, in most cases, also identify you when you visit our websites. We will retain your information for potential future interactions with you.
We may also ask you to register an NEAR.PORT id, in which case you need to provide us with your name, email address, country location and other information if needed for the purpose for which you are asked to register. The NEAR.PORT id serves to uniquely identify you when you visit our websites, have a request
or order or use a product or service.
For ordering of most services, we require you to have registered an NEAR.PORT ID. Registration with NEAR.PORT ID may allow you to customize and control your privacy settings. Certain NEAR.PORT services may require unique registration, specifically for the purpose of providing these services.
In such cases, registration details provided by you for a service will only be used for the specific purpose of providing you with that service.

Website visits and NEAR.PORT services
We may also collect information relating to your use of our websites and NEAR.PORT services through the use of various technologies. For example, when you visit our websites or access our NEAR.PORT services, we may log certain information that your browser sends us, such as your IP address (including information deriving from your IP address such as your geographic location), browser type, version and language, access time, duration of access, and referring website addresses; we may also collect information about the pages you view within our sites, the time you spent on each site and other actions you take while visiting our website.
When you access our website without a NEAR.PORT id or signing in, we will still collect some of this personal information in order to enable the websites to function properly.

We may also use such technologies to determine whether you’ve opened an e-mail or clicked on a link contained in an e-mail. For details regarding the technologies we employ,
see Cookies, Web Beacon and Other Technologies below.

Marketing information

Most information we collect about you comes from our direct interactions with you.
From time to time, we may also collect information that pertains to you indirectly through other sources, such as list vendors. When we do so, we ask the vendors to confirm that the information was legally acquired by the third party and that we have the right to obtain it from them and use it.
When you register for an event we may collect additional information (online or offline) in relation to the event organization, and during an event, such as participation in sessions and survey results. Events may be recorded and group photos taken.
We reserve the right to use photos for promotional use. When you provide us with your business contact information (such as by handing over a business card) we may use this to communicate with you.
The information that we collect, either directly or indirectly, may be combined to help us improve its overall accuracy and completeness, and to help us better tailor our interactions with you.

COOKIES, WEB BEACON AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

As mentioned above, we collect information from your visits to our websites and your use of our NEAR.PORT services and our software products to help us gather statistics about usage and effectiveness, personalize your experience, tailor our interactions with you, and improve our products and services. We
do so through the use of various technologies, including scripts, tags, Local Shared Objects (Flash cookies), Local Storage (HTML5) beacons, and “cookies”.

What are cookies and why are cookies used

A cookie is a piece of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as a tag that identifies your computer.
While cookies are often only used to measure website usage (such as number of visitors and duration of visit) and effectiveness (such as topics visitors are most interested in) and to allow for ease of navigation or use and, as such, are not associated with any personal information, they are also used at times to
personalize a known visitor’s experience of a website by being associated with profile information or user preferences.
Over time this information provides valuable insight to help improve the user experience.

Cookies are typically categorized as “session” cookies or “persistent” cookies. Session cookies help you navigate through the website efficiently, keeping track of your progression from page to page so that you are not asked for information you have already provided during the current visit, or information needed to be able to complete a transaction. Session cookies are stored in temporary memory and erased when the web browser is closed.

Persistent cookies on the other hand, store user preferences for current and successive visits. They are written on your device’s hard disk, and are still valid when you restart your browser. We use persistent cookies, for example, to record your choice of language and country location.

You can delete cookies already on your device via the settings of your web browser.

While NEAR.PORT websites, online and services at this time do not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, such as “do not track” instructions, you can generally express your privacy preferences regarding the use of most cookies and similar technologies through your web browser.

Look under the heading “Tools” (or similar heading) in your particular browser for information about controlling cookies. In most instances you can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the option to decide whether to accept it or not. You can also generally set your browser to turn off cookies.

Cookies in our software products can be turned off in the product itself. Since cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our websites’ features or features of our services, we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you block, turn off or otherwise reject our cookies, some web pages may not display properly or you will not be able to, for instance, use any website or services that require you to sign in.

Web beacons or other technologies

Some NEAR.PORT websites, services and software products may also use web beacons or other technologies to better tailor those sites to provide better customer service. These technologies may be in use on a number of pages across NEAR.PORT’s websites.

When a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our suppliers. These web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you don’t want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages or use of these products, you can set your browser to turn off cookies or turn off cookies in the product itself, respectively. If you turn off cookies, web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages; however, they will not be associated with information otherwise stored in cookies.

For more information about the technologies employed by our services, including how to turn them off, please consult the user guide for the particular services you are using.
We use Local Shared Objects, such as Flash cookies, and Local Storage, such as HTML5, to store content information and preferences. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our website or to display NEAR.PORT advertising on others’ websites based upon your web browsing activity also use Flash cookies or HTML5 to collect and store information.

We may also include web beacons in marketing e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and links contained within clicked on.
Some of our business partners set web beacons and cookies on our site.

In addition, third-party social media buttons may log certain information such as your IP address, browser type and language, access time, and referring website addresses, and, if you are logged in to those social media sites, they may also link such collected information with your profile information on that site. We do not control these third party tracking technologies.

LINKS TO NON-NEAR.PORT WEBSITES AND THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS

To allow you to interact with other websites on which you may have accounts (such as Facebook and other social media sites) or join communities on such sites, we may provide links or embed third-party applications that allow you to login, post content or join communities from our websites. We may also provide you with general links to non-NEAR.PORT websites.
Your use of these links and applications is subject to the third parties’ privacy policies, and you should become familiar with the third-party sites’ privacy policies before using the links or applications.

PERSONAL INFORMATION SHARING

As an organization offering a wide range of services, with business processes, management structures and technical systems that cross borders, NEAR.PORT has implemented global policies, along with standards and procedures, for consistent protection of personal information.

As a global IT company, we may share information about you with our subsidiaries world-wide and transfer it to countries in the world where we do business in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
Between NEAR.PORT partners, we only grant access to personal information on a need-to-know basis, necessary for the purposes for which such access is granted. In some cases, NEAR.PORT uses suppliers located in various countries to collect, use, analyze, and otherwise process personal information on its behalf.

Where appropriate, NEAR.PORT may also share your personal information with selected partners to help us provide you, or the company you work for, services, or to fulfill your requests, or with your consent.
When selecting our suppliers and partners, we take into account their data handling processes.

If NEAR.PORT decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries, such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of such information from sellers. It is NEAR.PORT practice to require appropriate protection for personal information in these types of transactions.

Please be aware that in certain circumstances, personal information may be subject to disclosure to government agencies pursuant to judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process. We may also share your personal information to protect the rights or property of NEAR.PORT, our business partners, suppliers or clients, and others when we have reasonable grounds to believe that such rights or property have been or could be affected.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

The international footprint of NEAR.PORT involves a large number of transfers of personal information between different subsidiaries, as well as to third parties located in the countries where we do business.

Some countries have implemented transfer restrictions for personal information, in connection with which NEAR.PORT takes various measures, including:

• Where required, NEAR.PORT implements Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the EU
  Commission, or similar contractual clauses in other jurisdictions. This includes transfers to suppliers
  or other third parties.

INFORMATION SECURITY AND ACCURACY

We intend to protect your personal information and to maintain its accuracy. NEAR.PORT implements reasonable physical, administrative and technical safeguards to help us protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure.

For example, we encrypt certain sensitive personal information when we transmit such information over the Internet. We also require that our suppliers protect such information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure.

RETENTION PERIOD

We will not retain personal information longer than necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is processed, including the security of our processing complying with legal and regulatory obligations (e.g. audit, accounting and statutory retention terms), handling disputes, and for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims in the countries where we do business.
