Privacy Policy

This website is owned and operated by Carina Software Group. (“Carina”). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors while they interact with the content on this website (the “Site”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to the Site and any other content, products, applications, features, functionality, information and services offered by us through the Site. It does not apply to other third party websites to which we link. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to understand what information we collect about you, how we collect it, how that information is used, and any choices you may have to control our disclosure of it.

ACCEPTANCE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

In order to run our business and to provide you with our products and services, we require certain personal information (“your personal information”) that includes information that identifies you and, with regard to the need to meet certain legal requirements, the location from which you send us your personal information. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy or the additional descriptions of how we process your personal information (how we use, share, disclose, store and delete it), you should not use our website, services, or any other function offered by the Site. By clicking the “Accept” button in our Terms and Conditions, you agree to this Policy and provide consent as indicated in the “Sharing or Personal Information With Third Parties” section of this Policy.

We collect two types of information from you: (i) information that you voluntarily provide to us (e.g. through a voluntary registration process, sign-ups, download forms, or emails); and (ii) information that is derived through automated tracking mechanisms, such as cookies and data analysis tools.

VOLUNTARY REGISTRATION INFORMATION

We collect personally identifiable information, which may include, but is not limited to, your email address, legal name, phone number, company, country, job title, the IP address of the device with which you communicate with us and certain account information. We also collect personally identifiable information when you choose to use certain features of the Site, including without limitation: (i) information you provide so that we may send you emails about upcoming promotions or events; (ii) Information you provide to us in order for you to receive downloaded resources such as data sheets, white papers, and videos; (iii) participating in our forum/blog; or (iv) commenting on articles or other content on the Site.

AUTOMATIC DATA COLLECTION: COOKIES and RELATED TECHNOLOGIES

With your consent, we use “cookies” and other tracking technologies. Cookies are small files we use to store user preferences and enhance users’ experience with the Site. Cookies also enable us to serve secure pages to our users without asking them to sign in repeatedly. Most internet browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. Cookies will expire if a user’s system is idle for a defined period of time. Once a cookie expires, the user must sign in again to continue their session. This prevents unauthorised access to the user’s information while they are away from their computer.

You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your internet browser’s settings. If you choose to erase or block cookies, you may limit our ability to offer you certain services or features and will need to re-enter your login credentials to gain access to certain parts of the Site.

We use cookies and other forms of analytics technology to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize the Site. These technologies help us understand our users’ experience (e.g. how much time spent on which pages of the Site, which links are clicked, what users do and do not like, etc.) to enable us to build and maintain the Site with user feedback. We use cookies and other technologies to collect data on you, including without limitation how you interact with the Site, what you click and the keys you press, the pages you visit, your location, the date and time you access the Site, the language you prefer the Site is displayed in, and the URL and domain that referred you to the Site. These technologies may also collect your device’s IP address, screen resolution, unique device identifiers, operating system and browser type, location, and preferred language to display the Site. We may store this information in your user profile. We may use this information to identify individual users or match it with data on an individual user.
