It is your responsibility to keep your primary email address and other personal information up to date. You can change your primary email address and basic personal information on the “My Account” page.

agile-thoughts will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. However, we may transfer personal information in connection with a sale or merger of agile-thoughts or the division responsible for the services provided to you. We may also share your personal information, such as your email address, mailing address, etc., with our technical consultants, third party auditors and other third parties who make our site available, enhance its functionality or provide associated services and/or who deal with you in processing your orders and/or delivering content, samples, products, services and gifts and prizes. These third parties are not allowed to use personal information except for the purposes of providing the applicable services. In addition, we reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Website.

The Website may embed content from, or link to, third-party websites and services, including social media platforms, that are outside of our control. We are not responsible for the security or privacy of any information collected by other websites or other services.

The Website is hosted in the United States of America and is subject to the United States of America state and federal law. If you are accessing our Website from other jurisdictions, by using the site and/or our Services, you authorize the export of personal information to the United States of America and its storage and use as specified in this Privacy Policy.

2. GATHERING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

“Non-Personally-Identifying Information” is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. “Personally-Identifying Information,” by contrast, is information such as a name or email address that, without more, can be directly associated with a specific person. Like most website operators, agile-thoughts gathers from users of the Website Non-Personally-Identifying Information of the sort that Web browsers, depending on their settings, may make available. That information includes the user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and the locations of the websites that the user views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving the Website. Note: although such information is not Personally-Identifying Information, it may be possible for agile-thoughts to determine from an IP address a user’s Internet service provider and the geographic location of the visitor’s point of connectivity as well as other statistical usage data.

This aggregate information is analyzed and combined with similar aggregate information of other users and may be collected both on our Website and on other sites in our customer community. We may share aggregate information with our business partners and other third parties. Such aggregate information is anonymous and does not identify any individual user, and we do not link this automatically collected data to personally identifiable information. You can remove persistent cookies by following the directions found in your Internet browser’s “help” tab or file. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Website, but your ability to use some areas of it may be limited. We use your website activity to assist us in offering you a personalized Web experience, to assist you with technical support, diagnose problems with our server, and administer our websites, and to tailor our product and service offerings to you. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by this Website only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

agile-thoughts analyzes Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Website to help agile-thoughts better understand how the Website is being used. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, agile-thoughts is able to better design the Website to improve users’ experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. From time to time, agile-thoughts may also release the Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from Website users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Website.

We may combine Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect with additional Non-Personally Identifying Information collected from other sources.

We also may share aggregated information with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of visitors to the Website and the most popular features or services accessed. This information does not contain any Personally-Identifying Information and may be used to develop Website content and Services that we hope you and other users will find of interest and to target content and advertising.

2.1. Web Cookies

A “Web Cookie” is a string of information which assigns you a unique identification that a website stores on a user’s computer, and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the user submits a query to the website. We use cookies on the Website to keep track of services you have used, to record registration information regarding your login name and password, to record your user preferences, and to keep you logged into the Website, among others, agile-thoughts also uses Web Cookies to track the pages that users visit during each Website session, both to help agile-thoughts improve users’ experiences and to help agile-thoughts understand how the Website is being used. As with other Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Website, agile-thoughts analyzes and discloses in aggregated form information gathered using Web Cookies, so as to help agile-thoughts, its partners and others better understand how the Website is being used.

agile-thoughts USERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD SET THEIR BROWSERS TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE WEBSITE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF WEB COOKIES. WEBSITE USERS WHO REFUSE WEB COOKIES ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.

We, along with third parties, may use other kinds of technologies, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as “Flash cookies”) and HTML5 local storage in connection with our Services. We also may use unique identifiers associated with your device, such as mobile ad identifiers. These technologies are similar to the cookies discussed above in that they are stored on your device and can be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences. However, these technologies may make use of different parts of your device from standard cookies, and so you might not be able to control them using standard browser tools and settings. For HTML5 local storage, the method for disabling will vary depending on your browser.

Due to differences between using apps and websites on mobile devices, you may need to take additional steps to disable tracking technologies in mobile apps. Many mobile devices allow you to opt out of targeted advertising for mobile apps using the settings within the mobile app or your mobile device. For more information, please check your mobile settings. You also may uninstall our apps using the standard uninstall process available on your mobile device or app marketplace.

2.2. Third-Party Website Links

Some of our websites provide links to third party websites, such as those of our affiliates, business partners and advertisers. We have no access to or control over their practices. Because agile-thoughts does not control the information policies or practices of these third-party websites, you should review their privacy policies to learn more about how they collect and use personal information.

2.3. Web Beacons

A “Web Beacon” is an object that is embedded in a web page or email that is usually invisible to the user and allows website operators to check whether a user has viewed a particular web page or an email. agile-thoughts may use Web Beacons on the Website and in emails to count users who have visited particular pages, viewed emails and to deliver co-branded services. Web Beacons are not used to access users’ Personally-Identifying Information. They are a technique agile-thoughts may use to compile aggregated statistics about Website usage. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of information, including a Web Cookie number, time and date of a page or email view, and a description of the page or email on which the Web Beacon resides. You may decline Web Beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all Web Cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a Web Cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline Web Cookies on an individual basis.

2.4. Analytics

We may use third-party vendors, including Google, who use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past activity on the Website, including Google Analytics for Display Advertising. The information collected may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. If you do not want any information to be collected and used by Google Analytics, you can install an opt-out in your web browser (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/) and/or opt out from Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network by using Google’s Ads Settings (www.google.com/settings/ads).

2.5. Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, the Website currently does not respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.

If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.

2.6. Mobile Device Additional Terms

Mobile Device. If you use a mobile device to access the Website or download any of our applications, we may collect device information (such as your mobile device ID, model and manufacturer), operating system, version information, IP address, browser type and settings, such as language and available font settings, and settings of the device you use to access the Website.
Geo-Location Information. Such as your computer’s IP address, your mobile device’s GPS signal or information about nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers that may be transmitted to us when you use certain Services.
Push Notifications. We may send you push notifications if you choose to receive them, letting you know when someone has sent you a message or for other service-related matters. If you wish to opt out from receiving these types of communications, you may turn them off in your device’s settings.
Mobile Analytics. We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your phone. This software may record information, such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, where the application was downloaded from, and time and duration of your use of the Website and other information about your interaction with content offered through it.

2.7. Social Media

We may provide you the option to connect your Account on the Website to your account on some social networking sites for the purpose of logging in, uploading information or enabling certain features on the Website. When logging in using your social network credentials, we may collect the Personally-Identifying Information you have made publicly available on the social networking site, such as your name, profile picture, cover photo, username, gender, friends network, age range, locale, friend list and any other information you have made public. Once connected, other users may also be able to see information about your social network, such as the size of your network and your friends, including common friends. By connecting your Account on the Website to your account on any social networking site, you hereby consent to the continuous release of information about you to us. We will not send any of your Account information to the connected social networking site without first disclosing that to you. Each social network may further allow you to set privacy controls around your information on their system, and our collection of information will always follow such controls and permissions. This feature is subject to continuous change and improvement by us and each social networking site involved, and therefore the available features and shared information are subject to change without notice to you.

We may use hyperlinks on the Website which will redirect you to a social network if you click on the respective link. However, when you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “Like” button, Twitter’s “tweet” button or the Google+, that particular social network’s plugin will be activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers. If you do not use these buttons, none of your data will be sent to the respective social network’s plugin provider. For example, when you click on the Facebook’s “Like” button on the Website, Facebook will receive your IP address, the browser version and screen resolution, and the operating system of the device you have used to access the Website. Settings regarding privacy protection can be found on the websites of these social networks and are not within our control.

3. COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

3.1. Website Registration

As defined above, Personally-Identifying Information is information that can be directly associated with a specific person. agile-thoughts may collect a range of Personally-Identifying Information from and about Website users.

We also may request information about your professional role, interests and activities, your gender, age, date of birth, username, hometown and other demographic or relevant information as determined by agile-thoughts from time to time. Users of the Website are under no obligation to provide agile-thoughts with Personally-Identifying Information of any kind, with the caveat that a user’s refusal to do so may prevent the user from using certain Website features and in some cases our entire set of Services.

3.2. Online Postings

Certain Personally-Identifying Information collected from users may be disclosed as a result of your use of the Website. We may provide areas on the Website where you can post user contributions, reviews, comments, posts and other information relating to your activities on the Website. Such postings are governed by our Terms and Conditions. In addition, such postings may appear on other websites or when searches are executed on the subject of your posting. Also, whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable web pages, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information. USERS ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF PRIVACY OR OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM THEIR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, SPECIALLY FROM THOSE THE USER MAY HAVE MADE PUBLIC THROUGH CONTRIBUTIONS, REVIEWS, COMMENTS OR CHATS.

3.3. Company Communications

We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding the delivery of our Services or new services offered by the Website that we think you may find valuable. We may also send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the Service. Generally, you may opt out of such emails at the time of registration or through “My Account” page; however, in order to deliver some services you might have acquired with us, we reserve the right to send you notices about your Account, such as delivery of services, service announcements and administrative messages, even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

Personally-Identifying Information submitted or collected after a transfer, however, may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor organization.

(2) Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we may retain certain information for legal compliance. In the same way, we may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

(3) We will retain in our files some Personally-Identifying Information to prevent fraud, to troubleshoot problems, to assist with any investigations, to enforce our Terms and Conditions and/or to comply with legal requirements as is permitted by law. Therefore, you should not expect that all your Personally-Identifying Information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests. Additionally, we keep a history of changed information to investigate any suspected fraud with your Account.

However, third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to Personally-Identifying Information that users provide directly to those third parties, or that those third parties collect for and/or by themselves. These third parties include advertisers, providers of games, utilities, widgets and a variety of other third-party applications accessible through the Website. agile-thoughts neither owns nor controls the third-party websites and applications accessible through the Website. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party application, whether by means of a link on the Website or directly through the Website, or before providing any Personally-Identifying Information to any such third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website or application, and should take the steps necessary to, in those users’ discretion, protect their privacy.

We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures coupled with carefully developed security procedures to protect your information from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration.

However, please be advised that even the best security measures cannot fully eliminate all risks. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your information. We are not responsible for third-party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures.

When we ask for sensitive information, we protect it through the use of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol which provides encryption during transmission. We have put in place policies to restrict access to your information by our employees and collaborators. Our employees are trained to safeguard your information. Additionally, we use internal and external resources to review the adequacy of our security procedures.

We are dedicated to protecting all information on the Website as it is necessary.
