1. Responsible Benchmark Digital Partners entity

Benchmark Digital Partners is the controller of your Personal Data and responsible for the collection, processing and disclosure of your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Statement, unless expressly specified otherwise.

This Privacy Statement does not apply to the extent we offer our customers various cloud products and services through which our customers may create their own websites and applications running on our platforms, perform internal environmental, health and safety compliance activities, send electronic communications to other individuals, and collect and analyze Personal Data from individuals.

1. What Personal Data do we collect?

(a)Personal Data we collect directly from you

The Personal Data that we collect directly from you may include the following:

• if you express an interest in obtaining additional information about our services, request customer support, use our “Contact Us” or similar features, register to use our websites, sign up for an event or webinar, or download certain content, we generally require you to provide us with your contact information, such as your name, job title, company name, address, phone number, email address, or username and password;
• if you use and interact with our websites, we automatically collect log files and other information about your device and your usage of our websites through cookies, web beacons or similar technologies, such as IP-addresses or other identifiers, which may qualify as Personal Data; and
• if you visit our offices, you may be required to register as a visitor and to provide your name, email address, phone number, company name and time and date of arrival.

Failing to provide the Personal Data in each of the situations listed above may result in our inability to provide you with your requested services, information, or access to our offices, as applicable.

(b)Personal Data we collect from other sources

We may also collect information about you from other sources, including third parties from whom we have purchased Personal Data, and combine this information with Personal Data provided by you. This helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify new customers, and create more tailored advertising to provide services that may be of interest to you. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically collected data to personally identifiable information.

We collect the following categories of Personal Data from third parties:

1. Use of Cookies

We use “cookies” to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We may link the information we store in cookies to your personal information in order to provide a faster and more pleasant online experience.

We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.

Persistent cookies enable us to enhance the experience of users on our site. You have the ability to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept them, but you can usually modify your browser settings to reject cookies, if you prefer. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our website will be limited. [To opt-out from tracking by Google Analytics, please use the specific opt-out mechanism as indicated further below.]

The following sets out how we use different categories of cookies and similar technologies, as well as information on your options for managing the settings for the data collection by these technologies:

Opt-Out from the collection of device and usage data

You may opt-out from the collection of device and usage data (see “What device and usage data we process” section above) by managing your cookies at the individual browser level.  Please note, however, that by blocking or deleting cookies and similar technologies used on our websites, you may not be able to take full advantage of the website.

While some internet browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked, these features are not yet uniform and there is no common standard that has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators. Therefore, we do not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals with respect to our websites. Benchmark Digital Partners takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.
