What personal information does GreyB collect and why?
We have broadly divided the data that we collect in 2 categories:
Information that you provide voluntarily
At different places and parts on our website, we may ask you to voluntarily provide personal information about you such as – We may ask you to provide your Name, Email, and Company Name when you request a PDF from our website.
We may also ask you your personal information through other types of form submissions on our website when you subscribe for marketing communications or register an account, or download ebooks, or if you reach out to us via any of the contact forms on our website. Collectively, all the information that you voluntarily provide us on our website.
Why we need all this information will be made clear at the point when we ask you to provide this information.
Information that we collect automatically
This information is automatically recorded every time you interact with our online services (website, or products). Here is a list of the type of information we collect automatically about you:
- Your browser/device type
- Your IP address to determine the geography you are visiting us
- Referring sites and pages you interact with on GreyB.com.
We collect this information to better understand how our visitors are interacting with our website. This information aids our analytical efforts and helps us improve the user experience while they visit us.
We may also use this information to provide you with relevant ads on other websites. We do this by providing your browser “cookies” and by using similar tracking technologies. (more about our cookies policy below)
What happens to the data that we collect?
Certain features and services of GreyB’s website require visitors to provide some information in order to work efficiently. Information like your Email address and the name are used to provide you important updates relevant to you via email.
Similarly, we may use your Name, Email address, and company name when you request an Ebook from any part of our website. This information helps our analytical efforts.
Users can refuse to provide their personal information at any time; however, it may prevent them from accessing certain parts/services of our website, i.e., analysis reports, ebooks, monthly/weekly subscriptions, etc.
Sharing your data for legal and business purposes
We may disclose your information to the following type of recipients:
- To any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court, or other third parties where we believe disclosure is necessary to better comply with legal regulations and such.
- To our trusted employees, third-party service providers such as email clients and CRM software, analytical software, or other information processing services for the purpose as described in the above sections.
- To an actual or potential buyer and their advisers and agents, in case of an acquisition or merger of any or all part of our business provided that we inform said buyer to use your personal information only for the purposes described in this privacy policy notice.
- To any other person with your consent about the disclosure.
Legal basis for processing personal information
Our legal basis for collecting personal information will depend on the information concerned and the context we collect that information in. However, we will only collect your personal information, with your consent, where we have a legitimate reason to do so, i.e., to form a contract with you (newsletter, marketing communications, etc.). In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.
Anonymous Statistics
We may anonymize your personal information for the purposes of internal analyses, for example, product research to help us improve our Services. We may, in turn, pass the anonymized data onto third-party service providers such as analytical and CRM software, email clients, and our employees.
Marketing Communications
If you have requested to receive marketing communication from us (by signing up for weekly/monthly/bi-weekly newsletters, ebook download, analysis reports), we may, according to your preference, send you relevant marketing information via email/SMS/phone call, etc. This also includes any new service/product launch that we think may be relevant to you.
We believe in only providing information that is relevant to you. We will never misuse or spam you with irrelevant or rather useless information. You can always, at any time, unsubscribe from these marketing communications, either through the unsubscribe button that is present at the footer of every email that we send or either by directly contacting us.
However, in some cases, when we have something important to communicate i.e. an update to our privacy policy, business terms, or anything that concerns you or our relationship with you, we may contact you regardless of your marketing email preference.
Security
Securing your personal information is at the highest priority on our data retention practice. CRM and Analytical software that we use are trusted by thousands of other reputed organizations and only a few people from our organization have access to your personal information.
We also, from time to time, keep a check for vulnerabilities within our organization to prevent any data leakage or security compromises thereof.
You can reach out to us (see contact us page), at any time related to any query that you may have related to security and retention of your personal data.
Data Retention
We only keep your information as long as we need it, and if we feel that there is no need for us to keep your data, we may dispose of it securely.
If a user wishes to be forgotten from our records, they can, at any time, contact us through the mediums listed at our contact us page, and we will be happy to comply with their needs.
