Depending on your privacy settings on these platforms, we may also receive limited personal information if you submit a lead form directly through their platform (e.g., your name, email address, job title, and company name if you have consented to such sharing). We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., health, race, religion, sexual orientation) through these platforms.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Lead Generation and Communication: To respond to your inquiries, provide you with the information, products, or services you requested, and follow up on your interest in our offerings. This includes sending you relevant marketing and promotional communications if you have opted in to receive them.
  • Website Improvement: To understand how users interact with our Site and advertisements, analyze trends, track user movement, and gather demographic information to improve our Site’s content, functionality, and user experience.
  • Advertising and Marketing: To measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on platforms like Google and LinkedIn, tailor our advertising content to your interests, and optimize our marketing strategies. We may use information collected through cookies and similar technologies for personalized advertising, but only with your consent where required.
  • Internal Operations: For internal business purposes, such as data analysis, security monitoring, fraud prevention, and to comply with legal obligations.
  • Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, and enforceable governmental requests.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (for GDPR compliance)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, our legal bases for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depend on the information we collect and the specific context in which we collect it. We primarily rely on the following:

  • Consent: Where you have given us explicit consent to process your personal data for one or more specific purposes (e.g., for sending marketing communications, placing non-essential cookies). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Legitimate Interests: Where the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (e.g., for improving our services, preventing fraud, measuring ad performance). We conduct a legitimate interests assessment to ensure that our interests are balanced against your rights.
  • Performance of a Contract: Where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (e.g., responding to your inquiries about our services).
  • Legal Obligation: Where the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with the following categories of third parties only as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy:

  • Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business, such as CRM platforms, email marketing providers, analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics), and advertising platforms (e.g., Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads). These service providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and are only permitted to use your information to perform services on our behalf.
  • Advertising Partners: We may share aggregated or de-identified information with our advertising partners to help them understand the performance of our ads and to optimize their advertising services. These partners may also use their own cookies and tracking technologies on our Site for advertising and measurement purposes, subject to their own privacy policies.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Site of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
