Scope of this Policy

GovAutomations and its websites, GovAutomations.com and its sub-domains, (collectively the “Service”), APG Emerging Tech (Aligned Partner Group LLC) (the “Company”), and the organizations who license the Service for the purpose of conducting business operations (the “Customers”) value your trust and patronage and we make exceptional efforts to merit and safeguard your relationship with us 

The following policies govern data collection and usage and how we manage the information you share in connection with your use of the Service. By using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

In this policy, the words “we", "our", and "us" refer to the Service, Company, and Customers. “Personally identifiable information” (“Personal Information”) means any information by which you can be personally identified.

Personal Information We Collect

We request and collect personally identifiable information, such as but not limited to your name, email address, company name, address(es), and telephone number(s), in order to access or receive information, materials, services or programs provided by the Service. We may also collect statistical or demographic information and information about your computer hardware and software through your use of this Service or from third party providers. This information may include the type of web browser software you use, the links that you select, traffic data, the name of your Internet domain, the Internet address of the website used for access, location data, the pages you have visited on this website, web logs and other communication data. We may also collect information from online surveys, contact forms, and through the use of ‘cookies’ as explained below. 

How We Use Personal Information

We use the information we collect to operate our business including, without limitation, fulfillment of requests, transactional emails, and administrative requirements.

We use personal identifying and aggregate statistical information to better design and develop the features and functionality of the Service. We may share non-personal identifying information, such as usage statistics and general demographic data, with others in the interests of the Service, Company, or Customers.

How We Share Personal Information

Your personal information is accessible to our Customers with whom you have engaged by using the Service. How they use your information is in alignment with their own privacy policies.

We do not share your personal information across our Customers. In other words, if you are utilizing the Service for one particular Customer, your information is secured and accessible only by that Customer.

We do not share your information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to fulfill such services. Third parties who perform services on our behalf and have access to some or all of your personally identifiable information may only use it to help us fulfill the products and services we provide to you.

We use your provided email address or other contact information to answer inquiries we receive. Such contact information is only shared with outside parties to the extent it is needed to address a request or concern from you.

We may disclose your personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action to protect your rights or the rights of the Service, Company, Customers or others. We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe it is required or as required by law.

Otherwise, it is our policy to not use or share the personal identifying information provided to us online without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out from undesired communication or contact.

Use of Cookies

The Service may use “cookies” to help you personalize your Service experience, and in order to facilitate some of the features and functions of the Service. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

Cookies may contain information that is used to enable and customize your online experience, including access to your private account information, automated completion of transaction forms, display of products that match your personal preferences, etc. Cookies may also track your use of Service, Company, or Customer Website(s), enabling us to improve our website design, services, products, marketing and communication. We may also use cookies to determine and maintain the identity of the Website you visited immediately before your visit to the Service. We use this information only for marketing analysis and consideration of business relationships.

Cookies may be disabled at any time by using your browser options; however, if cookies are disabled, various features and functions of the Service may be unavailable to you.

Security of your Personal Information

The security of your information is important to us. We use appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Please note that email is not encrypted and is not considered a secure means of transmitting sensitive personal information.

Social Media

Any information, communications, or material of any type or nature that you submit to us through a third party website including, but not limited to, any Company website or accounts contained on a social media platform or website such as Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn,  whether by email, posting, messaging, uploading, downloading, or otherwise (collectively, a “Submission”), is done at your own risk and without any expectation of privacy. By visiting any of our social media accounts, you are representing and warranting to us that you have reviewed the applicable social media platform’s or website’s privacy policy and terms of use and that you will abide by all such provisions contained therein. We cannot control the actions of the providers or the other users of any social media platform and we are therefore not responsible for any content or Submissions contained on such platforms. We do not guarantee the privacy and safety of these areas. We encourage you to be wary of providing any of your personal information in such public forums. The information you submit can be collected and used by people you do not know. Your use of these features and your Submissions are fully at your own risk.

Retention of Personal Information

How long Company retains information we collect about you depends on the type of information, as described in further detail below.  After such time, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible, then we will securely store your information until deletion is possible. We will delete this information at an earlier date if you so request.

We retain Personal Information that you provide to us where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, as needed to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements).

If you have elected to receive marketing communications from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences for a reasonable period of time from the date you last expressed interest in our content, products, or services, such as when you last opened an email from us or ceased using your account.  We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period of time from the date such information was created

Reviewing, Correcting and Removing Your Personal Information

You can request access, correction, updates or deletion of your personal information. You can object to processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing of your personal information or request portability of your personal information.

If we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
