Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Sites, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy and consent to York IE’s collection and use of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and other information as set forth herein. If you do not consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you should not access or use the Site in any way and should immediately exit the Site.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Personal Information: Certain functionality on the Site and when registering to use the Services, we may require you to submit certain Personal Information and other information to York IE, including, without limitation, your name, email address, phone number, and company name and domain name (as applicable).

When purchasing the Services, we require you to provide financial and billing information, such as billing name and address, and credit card number (“Billing Information”). Your Personal Information and your Billing Information, together with any other information we gather through the Services that may be used to identify or contact you, are collectively referred to herein as your “Personal Information.”

York IE uses third-party website browser software tools (the “Tools”), such as “cookies,” web server logs, and analysis software (including Google Analytics, New Relic, and AWS services) to gather Use Data. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored on your hard drive. The Tools may be used by York IE to, among other things, collect business and technical statistics, such as the number of new visitors to the Site, the date and time of visits, the pages viewed and paths followed by users to and through the Site, and how long users remain on the Site. Use Data is collected on an aggregate basis and does not consist of any Personal Information.

 

USE OF INFORMATION

The Personal Information we collect is used for various purposes in connection with our business, including, without limitation, making information and services available to our Site visitors, notifying visitors about important changes to the Site, and answering inquiries or fulfilling requests submitted by visitors to the Site. We also use the Personal Information we collect to respond to voluntary requests for information and to provide relevant content. By choosing to use the Site, you consent to York IE’s use of your Personal Information for the purposes set forth herein.

York IE uses Use Data in order to monitor use of the Sites, for the Site’s technical administration, and to improve the Site and our services. York IE also uses Use Data for marketing and analytics purposes, to conduct tracking and analytics, and to help us understand how people use the Site.

The Billing Information we collect is used to manage your account, to provide the Services, and to check the financial qualifications of prospective customers and to collect payment for the Services. We may use a third-party service provider to manage credit card processing. If we do so, such a service provider will not be permitted to store, retain, or use Billing Information except for the sole purpose of credit card processing on our behalf.

The Data, Diagnostic Information and Login Information is used for the purpose of administering and improving our Services to you. We may also use this information in a de-identified, anonymous way to monitor and analyze use of the Services, for the Services’ technical administration, and to increase the Services’ functionality and user-friendliness.

The Generalized Location Information may be used for the purpose of administering and improving our Services to you. We may also use your Generalized Location Information in an anonymized manner to monitor and analyze use of the Services, for the Services’ technical administration, and to increase the Services’ functionality and user-friendliness.

Please note that if you are registering for or using the Services as an administrator on behalf of an organization, you may be able to view the activity and/or content associated with your sub-users’ use of the Services, including, but not limited to, their Personally Identifiable Information.

If we plan to use your Personal Information in the future for any other purposes not identified above, we will only do so after informing you by updating this Privacy Policy. See further the section of this Privacy Policy entitled “Amendment of this Privacy Policy”.

NON-US USERS

These Services are hosted in the United States and are intended primarily for visitors located within the United States. If you choose to use the Services from other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you may be transferring your Personal Information outside of those regions to the United States for storage and processing. By providing your Personal Information through the Services, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.

SUBSCRIBING TO E-MAIL CORRESPONDENCE

We provide an opportunity for Site visitors to subscribe to certain email newsletters, updates, or offers. In order to complete your request, we ask for your name and email address. We will not send you an email newsletter, update, or offer unless you first request it.

Except as specifically set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not share or sell this information for marketing purposes. By providing York IE with your name and email address, you authorize York IE to send you regular emails unless and until you request to unsubscribe from such emails. Each email newsletter, update, or offer that we send to you will provide an opportunity to opt out of future email correspondence.

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to stop emails from being sent to them, and spells out penalties for violations. In accordance with the CAN-SPAM Act, we agree to do the following:

Such agents or third parties do not have any rights to use Personal Information beyond what is absolutely necessary to assist us.

We may disclose your Personal Information to third parties without your consent if we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other users of the Services, or anyone else (including the rights or property of anyone else) that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose Personal Information when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is required by and in accordance with the law.
