When and how we collect personal information

We collect personal information about you when you voluntarily choose to disclose such information to us, directly or indirectly through a representative. For example, you may disclose personal information to us when you submit information by mail, telephone, fax, or electronically, when you sign up for our mailing list for the purpose of newsletters or sales information.

We may also collect personal information about you from another source, for example, from a business associate of yours, your representative, or a publically available source. If you provide personal information to us about someone else (such as one of your employees or business associate), you acknowledge that you are authorized to disclose that information to us and that, without taking any further steps, we may collect, use, store, and disclose that personal information as described in this Privacy Policy as if it were disclosed to us directly by such other person.

We also collect certain information through automatic means. For example, we use cookies and other technologies to collect certain information when you use MyPocketDesigner.com or other sites linked to them (collectively, “our websites”). The information collected through our websites may include information such as a location, IP address, browser type, and content viewed.

We do not direct any of our websites to children or individuals under eighteen (18) years of age. Individuals under eighteen (18) should consult with their parent or guardian about the use of this website.

We only use your personal information for a legal and legitimate interest, such as:

We market and provide our services, however, in many countries throughout the world. Accordingly, we will disclose information collected through our websites, as well as other personal information, across geographical boundaries, within and outside of the business, for legal and legitimate purposes as described above.

We will also disclose your personal information to third party service providers that perform services for us and who are obligated to secure the information, such as outsourced service providers, information technology suppliers, analytics providers, mailing providers, joint marketing providers, and security providers. These service providers may be located anywhere in the world.

We will also disclose your personal information as required by a court order or any other legal or regulatory requirement, including in response to requests from public and government authorities outside your country of residence or to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, or that of you or others anywhere in the world.

The laws of these other countries may not provide the same level of protection as the laws of your home country. By providing us with personal information about yourself, you acknowledge the disclosure of such personal information to these recipients. Any processing of your personal information outside of your jurisdiction will be in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Our efforts to protect personal information

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, and unauthorized loss, access, modification or disclosure. We undertake industry standard data protection practices, including by deploying a variety of commercially available software and hardware security tools. We will take such measures with respect to your personal information using security measures that we use for personal information of others, and we will do so in compliance with all applicable data protection laws and our professional secrecy and ethical obligations. Unfortunately, despite such measures, no data transmission over the Internet and no database or other depository of information can be one hundred percent secure. As a result, while we will strive to protect your personal information, we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant the security of any of your personal information. We will not be and are not liable for disclosures of your personal information due to errors in transmission, networks that we do not control, or unauthorized acts of third parties.

How long we keep personal information

We will keep your personal information until such time as we no longer expect to need to use it for any legal and legitimate purpose and otherwise in accordance with all applicable laws. At the appropriate time, we will take reasonable steps to destroy your personal information or ensure that your personal information is de-identified, except were we need to retain such information to satisfy legal and professional ethical obligations.

Your rights with regard to your personal information

Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this Privacy Policy, this policy only addresses our use and disclosure of personal information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your personal information to third parties, including any third party website linked from any of our websites, you are subject to the privacy customs and policies of those third parties. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose any personal information to such third parties.

Our other obligations to you as our client, if applicable, are not addressed by this Privacy Policy. Those obligations are described in our terms of engagement or otherwise arise as a result of applicable law or ethics.
