SADA Systems, Inc.’s Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you decide to share with us, and help you make informed decisions when using our site. Unless stated otherwise, this policy applies to all products, services and web sites owned and operated by us and our subsidiaries. By using or accessing the SADA network of web sites, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
We collect and use your personal information to provide our products and services and to operate and improve our sites and services. These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; and performing research and analysis aimed at improving our products, services and technologies. We will only use your personal information in ways outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Depending on how you use our web site and our services, we may collect the following types of information:
Accessing our web site - Every computer with internet capability is given a number that serves as that computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address . When you request a page from any site within the SADA network, our web servers automatically recognize your IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine traffic in aggregate, investigate misuse of the SADA network, detect fraud, or cooperate with law enforcement.
Information you provide - We offer access to some services that are free but that require registration. In this instance, we may ask you to provide personal information (such as your name, email address and an account password). For certain services (including but not limited to Google applications and cloudtoolkit.com) we may also request credit card or other payment account information that we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers .
We may use your personal information to communicate with you. For instance, we may send certain mandatory service communications [such as welcome letters, billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security announcements. We may also occasionally send you product surveys or promotional mailings to inform you of other products or services available from us and our affiliates ]. You may elect to stop receiving such promotional materials by following the directions in the related email .
Personal information that we collect may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which we, our affiliates, subsidiaries or service providers maintain facilities. We abide by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union .
