What information do we share?

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when We believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect Our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, respond to a government request, and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on Us. We may also disclose your information to Our contractors, service providers and other third parties We use to support Our business and who only are authorized to use your information as necessary for the purposes for which We disclose your information to them. For example, all financial and billing information collected through the Site is used solely to invoice customers for their usage of NODE40 Services. This billing information is not used by NODE40 for marketing and/or promotional purposes. We may also disclose your information if We have obtained your prior consent to do so.

In the event We transfer any of your information in connection with such a sale, We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the purchaser of your information honors your opt-out requests, if any.

Information Security

When you provide sensitive personal information (such as a credit card number) on Our online registration or order forms, We take steps to protect such information from unauthorized disclosures. We implement reasonable electronic, procedural and physical security measures to protect Our customer’s personal information, including by restricting access to electronic versions of information to authorized persons. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, therefore, We cannot guarantee the absolute safety of your data, and you transmit data to Us at your own risk.

In the event of a breach of personal information We may notify customers to ensure you take the appropriate measure of protection, in compliance with applicable legal obligations. By using the Site or providing personal information to Us, you agree that We can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues.

Tracking Technologies

As is true of most websites, Our Site gathers certain information automatically and stores it in log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data.

We may combine this automatically collected log information with other information We collect about you. We do this to improve services We offer you, to improve marketing, analytics, or site functionality.

Technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags and scripts may be used by NODE40 and Our marketing, analytics and other service providers. These technologies are used to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about Our Site user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these service providers on an individual as well as aggregated basis.

We may use cookies, for example, to keep track of your preferences and profile information. Cookies are also used to collect general usage and volume statistical information that does not include personal information.

Online Tracking / Do Not Track

NODE40 does not track you across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore We do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your internet browser may allow you to set the DNT signal on your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.
