Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Perdata, Inc. collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Perdata, Inc.’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Perdata, Inc.’s visitors use its service. From time to time, Perdata, Inc. may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of Perdata.

Perdata, Inc. also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Perdata sites. Perdata, Inc. only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses may be made visible and disclosed to the systems administrators of the site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Groups that wish to sign up to create events, as well as visitors to certain Perdata sites, choose to interact with Perdata in ways that may require Perdata to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Perdata, Inc. gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, an event may ask visitors who sign up to view the event to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to create an event for their company are asked to provide additional information, including the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Perdata, Inc. collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Perdata, Inc.. Perdata, Inc. does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain activities.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Perdata you consent to the transfer of such information to them where legally permitted. Perdata, Inc. will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Perdata, Inc. discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Perdata, Inc. believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Perdata, Inc., third parties or the public at large.
