WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT ME IS COLLECTED?

We may collect two types of information from you: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.

Personally identifiable information

Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you. Such information may include your first name, last name, title, company name, workplace address, email address, telephone number(s), and internet protocol address.

Personally identifiable information amounts to ‘personal data’ for the purposes of and as defined in the GDPR. All references to personally identifiable information shall be deemed to include ‘personal data’ as defined and used in the GDPR (to the extent applicable).

Non-personally identifiable information

Non-personally identifiable information is information, any single item of which, by itself, cannot be used to identify or contact you, including analytics/audit logging features (logins, file views, modifying data); browser type and version, time zone setting and location, username, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices used to access LinkSquares’ website, website usage data, website user marketing and communication preferences, non-identifiable demographic information, unique device identifiers, device types, requested URL, referring URL, browser language, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, domain names, and statistical data involving the use of the Site. Certain non-personally identifiable information may be considered a part of your personally identifiable information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. However, the same pieces of information are considered non-personally identifiable information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-personally identifiable information (for example, your viewing preferences) in a way that would not enable you to be identified.

WHERE AND WHEN IS INFORMATION COLLECTED (INCLUDING THROUGH THE USE OF COOKIES AND ACTION TAGS)?

We will collect personally identifiable information that you submit to us. We may also receive information (including personally identifiable information) about you from third parties providing us with analytics, lead generation, or other services.  We may also collect personally identifiable information about you that is publicly available from sources such as LinkedIn and company websites.

In the course of using the site

We may obtain your personally identifiable information from you if you identify yourself to us by sending us an e-mail with questions or comments or if you engage in an instant message “chat” with one of our representatives on the Site. Also, we will have access to any personally identifiable information that you choose to share through the Site or during Networking Activities.     

Cookies and action tags

We may collect information passively using “cookies” and “action tags.”

“Cookies” are small text files that can be placed on your computer or mobile device in order to identify your web browser and the activities of your computer on the Site and other websites. Cookies can be used to personalize your experience on the Site (such as dynamically generating content on webpages specifically designed for you), to assist you in using the Site (such as saving time by not having to reenter your name each time you use the Site), to allow us to statistically monitor how you are using the Site to help us improve our offerings, and to target certain advertisements to your browser which may be of interest to you or to determine the popularity of certain content. In addition to cookies that we may place on your computer or mobile device, cookies might also be placed on your computer or mobile device by third parties that we use to display or serve advertisements for our products and services or to collect non-personally identifiable information in order to provide advertising-related services to us. In the course of serving advertisements, such third parties could place or recognize unique cookies on your browser.

You do not have to accept cookies to use the Site. Although most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, you may reset your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to reject cookies generally. Most browsers offer instructions on how to do so in the “Help” section of the toolbar. However, if you reject cookies, certain features or resources of the Site may not work properly or at all and you may experience some loss of convenience. For the avoidance of doubt, the Site may use third-party service platforms (including to help analyze how users use the Site).  These third-party service platforms may place cookies on your computer or mobile device.  If you would like to disable “third party” cookies, you may be able to turn them off by going to the third party’s website.

Here is a link to the main third-party platforms we use:

https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-cookie-policy

“Action tags,” also known as web beacons or gif tags, are a web technology used to help track website usage information, such as how many times a specific page has been viewed. Action tags are invisible to you, and any portion of the Site, including advertisements, or e-mail sent on our behalf, may contain action tags.

By using cookies and action tags together, we are able to gain valuable information to improve the Site and measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing campaigns. Information collected from some cookies placed on the website may be used to deliver advertisements to LinkSquares site visitors when such visitors are visiting other websites, including Facebook and LinkedIn.

Finally, you should be aware that other third parties may use their own cookies or action tags when you click on t a link to their websites or services on or from the Site. This Privacy Policy does not govern the use of cookies or action tags or the use of your information by such third-party websites or services.v

Log files

We also collect information through our Internet log files, which record data such as user IP addresses, other addressing information, the date and time of your request, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of the Site. This information may be used to analyze trends, to administer the Site, to monitor the use of the Site, and to gather general demographic information. We may link this information to personally identifiable information for these and other purposes such as personalizing your experience on the Site and evaluating the Site in general.

(c) where it is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) in providing the Site, or engaging in Networking Activities, and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those legitimate interests.

We use the information collected to provide the Site to you, to engage in Networking Activities, to help us understand who uses the Site, for internal operations such as operating and improving the Site,  e and, unless you “opt out”, so that we can contact you about products and services that may be of interest to you.

Laws and legal rights

We may disclose your information (including personally identifiable information) if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so in order to comply with an applicable statute, regulation, rule or law, a subpoena, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, or other valid legal process. We may disclose personally identifiable information in special circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating a contract with us, to meet contractual obligations, to protect our rights or our property, to detect fraud, or to protect the safety and/or security of our users, the Site or the general public.

Third parties generally

We may provide to third parties non-personally identifiable information, including where such information is combined with similar information of other users of the Site. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of unique users who use the Site, the demographic breakdown of our users of the Site e. In addition to the above, when users use our Site, third parties (including without limitation analytics and other service providers) may directly collect personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information about our users’ online activities over time and across different websites.  The third parties to which we may provide or who may independently directly collect personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information may include  providers of services (including vendors and website tracking services), analytics service providers, merchants, affiliates and other actual or potential commercial partners, and other similar parties. Please note in particular that the Site may use Google Analytics, including its data reporting features.  Information collected by Google Analytics includes but is not limited to web metrics.  For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please see the site “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps”, currently located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. For information on opting out of Google Analytics, we encourage you to visit Google’s website, including its list of currently available opt-out options.

Outside contractors

We may employ independent contractors, vendors and suppliers (collectively, “Outside Contractors”) to provide specific services and products related to the Site, such as hosting and maintaining the Site, and developing applications for the Site, and related to our Networking Activities. In the course of providing products or services to us, these Outside Contractors may have access to your information collected through the Site, including your personally identifiable information.  We use reasonable efforts to ensure that these Outside Contractors are capable of (1) protecting the privacy of your personally identifiable information consistent with this Privacy Policy, and (2) not using or disclosing your personally identifiable information for any purpose other than providing us with the products or services for which we contracted or as required by law.

Sale of business

We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party (i) in connection with a sale, merger or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of LinkSquares or any of its Corporate Affiliates (as defined below), or that portion of LinkSquares or any of its Corporate Affiliates to which the Site relates, (ii) in connection with a strategic investment by a third party in LinkSquares, or (iii) in the event that we discontinue our business or file a petition or have filed against us a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLY WHEN I LINK TO OTHER WEBSITES OR SERVICES?

Our Site may provide you with access to other websites and services. This may include providing you with the ability to automatically post updates on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any websites or services other than the Site. A link to a third party website does not constitute or imply endorsement by us.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of each and every such website and service. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through the Site.

IS THE INFORMATION COLLECTED UNDER THIS PRIVACY POLICY SECURE?

We want your information (including personally identifiable information) to remain secure. We strive to provide transmission of your information from your computer or mobile device to our servers through techniques that are consistent with commercially reasonable standards and to employ administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access.

Notwithstanding the above, you should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet. There is also some risk that others could find a way to thwart our security systems. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or privacy of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

COULD MY INFORMATION BE TRANSFERRED TO OTHER COUNTRIES?

Your personally identifiable information collected on the Site may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and the Site may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such information. By using the Site and submitting such information on it, or engaging in Networking Activities with us, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information. Without limitation of the foregoing, you hereby expressly grant consent to LinkSquares to: (a) process and disclose such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy; (b) transfer such information throughout the world, including to the United States or other countries that do not ensure adequate protection for personally identifiable information (as determined by the European Commission); and (c) disclose such information to comply with lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. If you are from a jurisdiction with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure that differ from those of the United States, please be advised that all aspects of the information collected and processed under this Privacy Policy are governed by the internal laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, regardless of your location.

FOR HOW LONG WILL MY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION BE KEPT?

We will only retain your personally identifiable information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personally identifiable information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of that information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your personally identifiable information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

WHAT CHOICES DO I HAVE REGARDING MY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION?

We generally use personally identifiable information as described in this Privacy Policy or as authorized by you or as otherwise disclosed at the time we request such information from you. You generally must “opt in” and give us permission to use your personally identifiable information for any other purpose. You may also change your preference and “opt out” of receiving certain marketing communications from us by following the directions provided in association with the communication or such other directions we may provide or by contacting privacy@linksquares.com.

Under certain circumstances and in compliance with the GDPR, you may have the right to:

Request access to your personally identifiable information (commonly known as ‘subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the personally identifiable information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it;

Request correction of the personally identifiable information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected;

Request erasure of your personally identifiable information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove your personally identifiable information where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove all of your personally identifiable information in certain circumstances;

Object to processing of your personally identifiable information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or that of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground;

Request the restriction of processing of your personally identifiable information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personally identifiable information, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it;

Request the transfer of your personally identifiable information to another party; and

Lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority (as defined in the GDPR). If you have any complaints about the way we process your personally identifiable information, please do contact us. Alternatively, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority which is established in your country.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personally identifiable information, object to the processing of your personally identifiable information, or request that we transfer a copy of your personally identifiable information to another party, please contact privacy@linksquares.com.

Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

You should be aware that it may not be technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your personally identifiable information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. After receiving your request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to update, correct, change, or delete, as appropriate, all personally identifiable information stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable media as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably practicable.

DO NOT TRACK

The term “Do Not Track” refers to a HTTP header offered by certain web browsers to request that websites refrain from tracking the user. We take no action in response to automated Do Not Track requests. However, if you wish to stop such tracking, please contact us with your request, using our contact details provided below.

HOW WILL I KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY?

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time.  We will not make changes that result in significant additional uses or disclosures of your personally identifiable information without allowing you to “opt in” to such changes. We may also make non-significant changes to this Privacy Policy that generally will not significantly affect our use of your personally identifiable information, for which your opt-in is not required. We encourage you to check this page periodically for any changes. If any non-significant changes to this Privacy Policy are unacceptable to you, you must immediately contact us and, until the issue is resolved, stop using the Site. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of non-significant changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

• Comply with a legal obligation.
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising access, data portability, and deletion rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described in above under the heading “Deletion Request Rights”, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either: (1) calling us at 857-997-0022; (2) visiting linksquares.com/privacy-policy; or (3) contacting us in the manner provided under the heading “WHO DO I CONTACT IF I HAVE ANY PRIVACY QUESTIONS?”.

You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability no more than twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected consumer information or an authorized representative; and (ii) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with consumer information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the consumer information relates to you.

We will only use consumer information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. We will provide email receipt acknowledgement to verify consumer requests.

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt.

The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your consumer information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. If your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either charge a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested, or refuse to act on the request and notify you of the reason for refusing the request.

Non-discrimination
