IDFocus LLC ("IDF") recognizes that privacy is an important issue, so we design
and operate our IDF Website and related services ("Site") with the protection
of your privacy in mind. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal
information we gather when you use our Site, as well as some of the steps we
take to safeguard it.
The following principles apply to the personally identifying information we ask
for and that you provide. "Personally identifying information" is information
that individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address or email
address. You can find more details about the data we collect on particular
services by clicking the links on the side of this page.
Data collection
Most portions of the IDF Site do not require you to provide any personally
identifying information.
IDF collects limited non-personally identifying information your browser makes
available whenever you visit a website. This log information includes your
Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of
your query and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We
use this information to operate, develop and improve our Site and our services.
Some of our Site services (e.g., Knowledge Zone and Experts Talk) require you to
register for an account. IDF asks you for some personally identifying
information (typically your name, email address, phone number, company,
position and a password for your account) in order to create an account and we
will use some of that information to provide the service and/or to communicate
with you in the future.
When we require personally identifying information, we will inform you about the
types of information we collect and how we use it. We hope this will help you
make an informed decision about sharing your personal information with us.
Information use and sharing
We do not rent or sell your personally identifying information to other
companies or individuals, unless we have your consent. We may share such
information in any of the following limited circumstances:
-
We have your consent.
-
We provide such information to trusted businesses or persons for the sole
purpose of processing personally identifying information on our behalf. When
this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process
such information only on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy
Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
-
We conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that
access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary
to protect the rights, property or safety of IDF, its users or the public.
If you have an account, we may share the information submitted under your
account among all of our services in order to provide you with a seamless
experience and to improve the quality of our services. We will not disclose
your account information to other people or non-affiliated companies, except in
the limited circumstances described in this Policy or with your consent.
We may store and process personal information collected on our site in the
United States or any other country in which IDF or its agents maintain
facilities. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your
information among these facilities, including those located outside your
country.
In the event of a transfer of ownership of IDFocus LLC, such as acquisition by
or merger with another company, we will provide notice before any personally
identifying information is transferred and becomes subject to a different
privacy policy.
Please note that we may also share aggregated information (which does not
disclose any personally identifying information about you) with others.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to
or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. We restrict
access to your personally identifying information to employees who need to know
that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services.
Updating your information We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your
personally identifying information for many of our services. For more
information, please contact us. Contact Us
Cookies
Upon your first visit to IDF, a cookie is sent to your computer that uniquely
identifies your browser. A "cookie" is a small file containing a string of
characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. We may
access these cookies on your computer to improve the quality of our service and
to better understand how people interact with us. IDF does this by storing user
preferences in cookies and by tracking user trends and patterns of how people
search. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset
your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
However, some IDF features or services may not function properly without
cookies.
Changes to this Policy
Please note this Privacy Policy will change from time to time. We expect most
such changes to be minor, but there may be changes that are more significant.
Regardless, we will post those changes on this page and, if the changes are
significant, we will also provide a more prominent notice.
