This Privacy Notice explains how Sigmetrix, LLC (“we”) collect and use personal information.

“Personal information” is information that identifies, or can reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to, an identifiable person. Personal information does not include information that is anonymous, de-identified, or aggregated, as those terms may be defined under applicable law.

This Privacy Notice applies to personal information that we collect through our websites, software applications (including mobile and web applications), training products, and services (altogether, “Services”); through email, text, and other electronic messages; and through our marketing, sales and advertising practices, including in-person and digital events, webinars, surveys, marketing activities, and visits to our premises.

We do not share or sell any personal information that you provide to us for any separate use by any third party.

2 – How We Collect Personal information

We collect information directly from you, such as when you fill in forms on our website, send us emails and messages, register Services, or interact with us at in-person and digital events, webinars, surveys, marketing activities, and visits to our premises. This information is limited to the voluntary information you provide, most of which is based on how we can contact and communicate with you.

When we refer to Data Technologies, we are including all current and similar future technologies. We use one or more Data Technologies on our websites and applications. Data Technologies may be used by us and others, to transmit information to you or about you and connect information about you from different sources, websites, devices, and applications.

Our legal basis for collecting and using personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

If you have consented to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your information because we or a third party (e.g., your employer) have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use though, in some cases, this may mean no longer using the Services.
