We at Exigent Technologies respect your privacy and are committed to taking reasonable steps towards protecting the privacy of data you provide us and managing your information responsibly. This Privacy Notice is intended to notify you of our privacy practices, the type of information that may be collected and stored, how the information is used, with whom the information may be shared, what choices are available to you regarding the collection, use and distribution of the information, what kind of security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of the information under our control, and who to contact with questions or concerns.

This Privacy Notice applies to all information and data you provide to Exigent Technologies Company LLC (the “Company” or “us” or “we”), including but not limited to that contained in, or in connection with, our website located at www.exigent.net (the “Website”), or any phone, email, or mail operations concerning our business operations, or services, as well as our marketing contacts with you. This Privacy Notice does not apply to other websites to which we may link, or to other companies or persons who might be listed as third-party contacts or suppliers on the Website, or to whom we may refer you if you call or write us. We may post links on the Website as a way of helping you locate related information and products easily. However, when linking to another website, you must review that website’s privacy notice because other websites may not treat information collected online in the same manner as we do.

By contacting us, providing us with any information or data (including, but not limited to in connection with support or further contact via the Website), using the Website and/or by providing any personal information, you consent to the collection and use of information by us in accordance with this Privacy Notice. If we decide to change our Privacy Notice, we will post those changes on this page.

Why We Collect Information:

We collect personal information because it helps us provide the services we offer, including the provision of the services described on the Website. Except as generally noted otherwise, we deem most of the personal information we collect from you as critical for us to provide the services we provide. We also collect personal information to help us improve our services, including the information provided on the Website. In addition, your personal information helps us communicate to you our latest opportunities, news, special offers, and information and events or technologies about which you might like to hear. We also may correlate the personal information obtained from you with information from other sources. For example, if you provide us with your personal information, we may cross-check that against information that might be lawfully available through other entities.

What Information We Collect:

This section includes a general description of the type of information we may collect about you. Those who wish to communicate with us but do not wish to provide personally identifiable information online may contact us through the address or phone numbers provided on our Website. However, you should note that if you contact us by phone, via postal mail or via any other means currently being used or which may be used in the future (electronic or otherwise), you may still be submitting personally identifiable information to us, as described below.

We do not automatically collect personal information unless you voluntarily input or submit this information, such as when you seek “Support” through the Website (providing first name, last name, e-mail address, phone number and whatever additional information you provide in the inquiry box, etc.), when you seek to “Contact” us through the Website (providing first name, last name, phone number, e-mail address, as well as additional information referenced therein), engaging in a “Sales Chat,” conducting a “Remote Session,” or otherwise providing information to us on or through the Website or by e-mail or by telephone call, or even though other online venues.

If you use or access the Website, or voluntarily provide us with personally identifiable information, you consent to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

Even if you do not submit personal information through the Website, we gather navigational information about where visitors go on the Website and information about the technical efficiencies of our Website and services (such as time to connect to the Website or time to download pages). This information allows us to see which areas of our Website are most visited and helps us better understand the user experience. This data helps us improve the quality of the Website by recognizing and delivering more of the features, areas, and services our visitors prefer. In this process of gathering information, we may collect personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information (such as domain type, browser type and version, service provider and IP address, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click-stream data). We may also create and use electronic records to compile statistics about how our visitors collectively interact with our Website by collecting, aggregating, and using information from or about you such as data about the type of browser and operating system used, which web pages you view, the time and duration or your visits to our Website, the search queries you use on this Website, whether you clicked on any items or links on the Website, whether you have clicked on any links in any emails sent from us or third parties on our behalf, whether you have chosen to opt-out of certain services or information sharing, and whether you have viewed or ordered certain products or services, to improve our products and services.

How We Collect Information:

We collect information in three primary ways:

  1. You Give Us Information: We collect information from you when you affirmatively provide it to us as outlined above (i.e., providing Contact information, seeking Support, engaging in a Sales Chat, or engaging in a Remote Session, etc.) or otherwise through our Website.
  2. We Collect Information Automatically: We automatically collect certain types of information when you visit our Website or use our services. For example, we automatically collect various types of technical information when you use our Website.
  3. We Collect Information from Other Sources: We may obtain information about you from outside sources. For example, we may obtain commercially available information about you from third parties for advertising and marketing purposes.

Use of Cookies:

The Website uses a common browser feature known as a cookie, which assigns a unique identification to your computer browser and session. Cookies are typically stored on your computer’s hard drive and are used to help maintain an expected user experience by tracking clicks as you go through the pages within our Website and informing the Website that each of your clicks comes from you individually when needed. We may also use cookies to tell us whether you have previously visited the Website. We may also use cookies that can be set by third parties with whom we have entered into agreements that may enable us to obtain analytic information about the use of our Website. You can set your browser not to accept cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the opportunity to decide whether or not to accept it. You may also use commonly available tools in your browser to remove cookies that may have been placed onto your computer. However, you should be aware that all features of the Website may not operate correctly if cookies are rejected or disabled. We will not use shared local objects, commonly referred to as “FLASH cookies,” in a manner inconsistent with the purposes for which they were designed unless you are specifically notified that we intend to use them for a specific service. FLASH cookies are cookies that are placed on your computer that are not removed through normal browser management tools.

Use of Web Beacons, Clear GIFs, Pixel Tags and JavaScript:

We also may use “pixel tags” (also called “action pixels,” “web beacons” or “clear gifs”) and/or JavaScript plug-ins, placed on our Website and in our emails to you. These web beacons and plug-ins are small graphic images (typically that you cannot see) or code on a website or in an email message that are used, for example, to record web pages and advertisements clicked on by a user, or to track the performance of email marketing campaigns. These files help us analyze our users’ online behavior and measure the effectiveness of our Website and our communications. We also work with third-party service providers that help us track, collect, and analyze this information. Third-party entities with whom we have agreements may place these files on the Website and/or in e-mails to use information obtained from them such as pages viewed, e-mails opened, and items clicked on in e-mails. These third-party providers may also place cookies onto your computer. Those third-party cookies may enable us to obtain aggregate demographic information and user statistics about you and your preferences from these third-party sources as well as our information we have about you.

Server Logs and Widgets:

A web “server log” is a record of activity created by a computer that delivers certain web pages to your browser. Certain activities that you perform on our Website may record information in server logs, such as if you enter a search term into a search box located on the Website. The server log may record, for example, the search terms or the link you clicked on to bring you to our Website. The server log may also record information about your browser, such as your IP address and the cookies set on your browser.

A “widget” is generally an application that can be embedded in a webpage. Widgets can provide real-time information to the webpage. Widgets are often provided by third-parties; we may provide widgets on our website. Widgets may enable the third parties that provide them to collect data about users visiting the Website.

Search Queries on Our Website:

We may provide you with options to search for information on our Website. If you enter information in a search query box, we may store that information and we may aggregate that information with other information we may have about the browser and/or IP address from which the search query originated.

Surveys, Contests, Crowdsourcing and Promotions

:
From time to time, we may request information from users via surveys, contests, and promotions. Participation in these surveys or promotions is completely voluntary and you have a choice whether or not to disclose any requested information. If you choose to participate, we may ask you for additional information, which may include contact information (such as name, email, and address) or other demographic information (such as postal code, age, or gender) to provide better services and options to you. We use the information you provide to administer our contests, sweepstakes and other promotions, in addition to the other purposes described in this Privacy Notice. If your information gathered via a survey will be used in a manner different from that described in this Privacy Notice, that proposed use will be described in the survey instructions. For example, the instructions might alert you if the information will be shared with anyone in addition to those parties identified in this Privacy Notice, such as a third party sponsoring the survey.

Content You Share:

You may be able to post information and materials publicly, for example, on profile pages, chat areas, and other similar forums (each, a “Forum”), subject to the Forum rules in our Terms of Use. If you post any information in a Forum on the Website, it will be deemed public information and available to the general public. Please do not post any personally identifiable information in a review or forum. If you do post personally identifiable information, you do so at your own risk, and consent to its use as a Submission, in accordance with our Terms of Use.

You may also be able to send certain content to other individuals using the Website. To send information to others, we may request both your email address and theirs. We may retain the information you provide in connection with this feature.

How We Use the Information We Collect:

We use the information we collect internally in our business for many business purposes, such as to: (i) determining the services you may need or seek; (ii) determining your creditworthiness; (iii) analyze trends and conduct research about improving our services; (iv) provide support and respond to questions from users, clients and Website visitors; (v) contact users/clients for research, informational, and marketing purposes; (vi) track traffic patterns and Website usage, including customizing our recommendations and promotions or services to you based upon your information (past and/or present); (vii) enable you to provide certain information to us online and to provide customer service in connection therewith; (viii) correlate information with other commercially available information to identify demographics and preferences to assist us in our marketing efforts; (ix) provide specific relevant marketing, promotional, or other information to you; (x) address information security and/or privacy practices control, network functioning, engineering, and troubleshooting issues; (xi) investigate claims and/or legal actions, violations of law or agreements, and compliance with relevant applicable laws, rules and regulations; (xii) comply with law, or based on our good-faith belief that it is necessary to conform or comply with the law, or otherwise to disclose information to prevent fraud and reduce credit risks, to cooperate with police and other governmental authorities, or to protect the rights of our clients and visitors to the Website or the public; and, (xiii) process or engage in a sale of all or part of our business, or if we go through a reorganization or merger.

We may also share personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information externally with our affiliates, licensees, and joint venture partners, as well as with other third-party service providers who help us provide services to or for the Company, which might include: companies performing credit checks, business entities that provide e-mail addresses, management and communication contact services, businesses which help us market as set forth above, network equipment and application management providers and hosting entities, credit and debit card payment gateways and processors and the issuing and acquiring banks involved in the funds settlement procedures necessary to charge your cards or financial accounts, entities that obtain information such as demographic information, that might be aggregated with other information we have about you, judicial, administrative and/or legal or financial accounting providers if information must be reviewed or released in response to civil or criminal investigations, claims, lawsuits, or if we are subject to judicial or administrative process (such as a subpoena) to release your information or to prosecute or defend legal actions, as we believe is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with any investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity, and with other service providers that may be involved in the other types of services and activities discussed in this Privacy Notice.

We may also use your personally identifiable information to contact you in ways other than e-mail or regular mail, such as via telephone contact, facsimile, or SMS/text, consistent with your disclosed communications preferences to the extent applicable.
