Privacy Policy

We are Protean Software America, LLC, a company organized in Wisconsin with its primary place of business at 635 3rd Street, Beloit, Wisconsin 53511(“we”/ “our” / “us”). We, along with our parent company, Protean Software Ltd., based in the United Kingdom, are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Below are the seven Principles we agree to comply with.

Privacy Principles

1. Notice. We shall notify you about our data practices regarding personal data received by us in the U.S., including types of personal data and information we collect about you, the purposes for which we collect and use such personal data, the types of third parties to which we disclose such personal data and the purposes for which we do so, your rights to access your personal data, the choices and means that we offer for limiting our use and disclosure of such personal data, and how you can contact us with any inquiries or complaints.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal data” or “personal information” shall mean any of your information that can be used to identify you either on its own or in combination with other readily available data. “Sensitive personal data” shall mean personal data regarding your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, criminal history, physical or mental health, or sexual life

1. If personal data covered by this Privacy Policy is to be used for a new purpose that is materially different from that for which the personal data was originally collected or subsequently authorized, or is to be disclosed to a non-agent third party, we will provide you with an opportunity to choose whether to have your personal data so used or disclosed. Requests to opt out of such uses or disclosures of personal data should be sent to: Protean Software Ltd, 1130-1140 Elliot Court, Herald Avenue, Coventry Business Park, Coventry CV5 6UB. United Kingdom.

If sensitive personal data covered by this Privacy Policy is to be used for a new purpose that is different from that for which the personal data was originally collected or subsequently authorized, or is to be disclosed to a third party, we will obtain your explicit consent prior to such use or disclosure.

• Accountability for Onward Transfer. In the event we transfer personal data covered by this Privacy Policy to a third party acting as a controller, we will do so consistent with any notice provided to you and any consent you have given, and only if the third party has given us contractual assurances that it will (i) process the personal data for limited and specified purposes consistent with any consent provided by you, (ii) provide at least the same level of protection as is required by the Principles and notify us if it makes a determination that it cannot do so; and (iii) cease processing of the personal data or take other reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate if it makes such a determination. If we have knowledge that a third party acting as a controller is processing personal data covered by this Privacy Policy in a way that is contrary to the Principles, we will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop such processing.

With respect to our agents, we will transfer only the personal data covered by this Privacy Policy needed for an agent to deliver to us the requested product or service.  Furthermore, we will (i) permit the agent to process such personal data only for limited and specified purposes; (ii) require the agent to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Principles; (iii) take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the agent effectively processes the personal data transferred in a manner consistent with our obligations under the Principles; and (iv) require the agent to notify us if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the Principles.  Upon receiving notice from an agent that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the Principles, we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing.

We remain liable under the Principles if an agent processes personal data covered by this Privacy Policy in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, except where we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

1. Security. We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal data covered by this Privacy Policy from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into due account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal data.
2. Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation. We collect and process personal information only to the extent that it is compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by you.  We do not retain personal information after it no longer serves the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized.  We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is accurate, complete, current, and reliable for its intended use.
3. Access. You have the right to access your personal data and to correct, amend, or delete such personal data if it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the Principles (except when the burden or expense of providing access, correction, amendment, or deletion would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or where the rights of persons other than you would be violated).  Requests for access, correction, amendment, or deletion should be sent to: Protean Software Ltd, 1130-1140 Elliot Court, Herald Avenue, Coventry Business Park, Coventry CV5 6UB. United Kingdom.

• Recourse, Enforcement and Liability.  In compliance with our Privacy Principles, we commit to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal data. If you have inquiries or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy you should first contact us at: Protean Software Ltd, 1130-1140 Elliot Court, Herald Avenue, Coventry Business Park, Coventry CV5 6UB. United Kingdom.

We agree to periodically review and verify our compliance with the Principles, and to remedy any issues arising out of failure to comply with the Principles.
