- Scope; Usage.
Collection of Personal Information
For the purposes of this Policy, “Personal Information” means any information that identifies, or could be used by or on behalf of Global Cloud Consulting, LLC to identify, an individual. Personal Information does not include information that is encoded, nor does it include publicly available information that has not been combined with non-public Personal Information.
In order to provide you with the highest level of service, we ask that you voluntarily provide us with certain Personal Information about yourself. Your Personal Information may include your first and last name, your company name (if applicable), your physical address, and your email address.
Global Cloud Consulting, LLC also collects information from commercially available sources that it deems credible. Such information may include your name, address, email address and demographic data. The information Global Cloud Consulting, LLC collects from these commercial sources may be combined and cross-referenced with the information you provide to Global Cloud Consulting, LLC.
Use of Your Personal Information
We use your Personal Information to provide you with the services which Global Cloud Consulting, LLC is contractually obligated to provide to you. We also may use your Personal Information to assist you in completing a transaction, or to communicate with you about our products or services via email, phone or fax.
We may disclose your Personal Information if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process; (2) protect and defend our rights and property; (3) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our website; or (4) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public (among other things, this means that if you provide false information or attempt to pose as someone else, information about you may be disclosed as part of any investigation into your actions).
In addition, we may use your Personal Information in the aggregate to determine our customers’ demographics and preferences. By doing so, we are able to provide you with targeted services that you may find to be helpful and informative.
Other than as stated in this Privacy Policy, we will not release your Personal Information to unknown or unaffiliated third parties, and we will not cross-reference your Personal Information with that of any other customer or entity.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
On occasion, we may hire third parties to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, removing repetitive information from our customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, and providing customer service. These third parties have access to your Personal Information to the extent necessary to permit them to do their jobs, however, they are bound by confidentiality agreements before any information is provided to them, and they are restricted from using the information for other purposes.
Where Global Cloud Consulting, LLC has knowledge that one of Global Cloud Consulting, LLC’s employees or agents is using or disclosing Personal Information in a manner contrary to this Policy, Global Cloud Consulting, LLC will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure. Global Cloud Consulting, LLC holds its employees and agents accountable for maintaining the trust that our customers place in the company.
Also, in the unlikely event that Global Cloud Consulting, LLC, or substantially all of Global Cloud Consulting, LLC’s assets are acquired, your Personal Information may be one of the transferred assets. It is Global Cloud Consulting, LLC’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
Your Choices
You will have the option to opt-out of any uses of Your Personal Information in which your Personal Information would be disclosed to a non-agent third party, or where such information would be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. Global Cloud Consulting, LLC will provide you with reasonable “opt out” mechanisms to exercise your choice before Global Cloud Consulting, LLC discloses any information as described in the paragraph.
Accuracy & Access
Global Cloud Consulting, LLC will take reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Information is relevant accurate, complete and current, to its intended use. We provide individuals with reasonable access to personal information that they provided to us, as well as the ability to review and correct such information, as applicable.
To protect your privacy and security, we also take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as requiring a password and user ID, before granting access to your Personal Information. To view and change the Personal Information that you directly provided to us, you can return to the Web page where you originally submitted your data and follow the instructions on that Web page, or contact Global Cloud Consulting, LLC’s Privacy Officer.
In addition, we may limit or deny access to Personal Information where providing such access would be unreasonably burdensome or expensive in the circumstances, or as otherwise permitted by the Safe Harbor Agreement. In some circumstances, we may charge a reasonable fee, where warranted, for access to Personal Information.
Security
To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of your Personal Information, we utilize physical, technical and administrative procedures to safeguard the information we collect.
Among other things, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data, such as credit card information. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but us. This security measure is working when you see the symbol of either an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser) at the bottom of your browser window.
We also use firewalls and restricted access methods to ensure the security of the information we collect. We limit access to your Personal Information and data to those persons in Global Cloud Consulting, LLC, or as agents of Global Cloud Consulting, LLC, that have a specific business purpose for maintaining and processing such information. Global Cloud Consulting, LLC’s employees who have been granted physical access to your Personal Information will be made aware of their responsibilities to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of that information and have been provided training and instruction on how to do so.
