The categories of Personal Information that we collect are listed below under “What information is collected?” and the purposes for which we collect and use Personal Information are listed below under “How do we use the information collected?” To learn more about your privacy rights, including your right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information, please navigate to the Consumer Privacy Rights page and the “Personal Information Requests” section below.

If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Notice, please do not provide us with any Personal Information and do not use our Services or this Site. We also recommend that you review the Site’s Terms of Use. This document governs your use of the Site.

This Privacy Notice will answer many of the questions you have about the use of your information. These include:

1    WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED?

1.1  INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE US

In general, you can use our Services and the Site without revealing Personal Information about yourself. However, we may ask you to provide to us certain categories of information, such as:

Personal Information, such as your identifiers: first and last name, phone number, email address, and categories of sensitive personal information, such as username and password, credit card number, and Social Security number (“Personal Information”); and

Demographic Information, such as information about your gender (characteristics of protected classifications) and professional or employment-related information (“Demographic Information”). If we combine Demographic Information with your Personal Information, we will treat the combined data as Personal Information.

We may collect this information through various forms and in various places in our Services and the Site. If you register for an account, subscribe to our newsletter, through “contact us” forms, or when interacting with the Site, we may collect Personal Information.

1.2  LOCATION-BASED INFORMATION

We may use location-based services to determine your location (geolocation data). We do this to verify your location, deliver you relevant content based on your location, and to enable the location-based services we offer. You may be able to change the settings on your device to prevent it from providing your location.

1.3  INFORMATION THIRD PARTIES PROVIDE ABOUT YOU

We may supplement the Personal Information we collect directly from you with information from third parties. This allows us to:

  • enhance our ability to provide the services you have requested,
  • tailor our content to you, and
  • offer you opportunities that may be of interest to you.

The Site may allow access to third-party websites, online services, or applications. In return, the third party may provide personal and other information to us. For example, if you select a social media icon (such as for Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram), we may have access to the information from them.

We may also receive information about you from your friends and others that use the Site. This will happen when they submit content to us or post on the Site.

When we receive information from those sources and combine it with Personal Information, the new information will be treated as Personal Information under this Privacy Notice.

1.4  INFORMATION WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY

In addition to any Personal Information you provide to us, we may use a variety of technologies that automatically collect certain information whenever you visit or interact with the Site (collectively, “Usage Information”). When we associate Usage Information with your Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information.

This Usage Information (internet or other electronic network activity) may include:

  • Your IP address, UUID – universally unique identifier, or another unique identifier (“Device Identifier”). This is automatically assigned to your device.
  • Your device functionality (including browser, operating system, hardware, mobile network information, etc.).
  • The areas within our Site that you visit and your activities there, including remembering you and your preferences.
  • Your device location (geolocation data).
  • Other device data, such as the time of day.

We use various methods and technologies to store or collect Usage Information (“Tracking Technologies”). The Tracking Technologies used on the Site include:

Cookies – A cookie is a small data file placed on a device when it is used to visit the Site. We do not respond to browser Do Not Track requests. Most types of cookies may be disabled or removed by tools that are available as part of most commercial browsers. Each browser you use must be set separately. Please be aware that if you disable or remove cookies on your device, some parts of our Site may not function properly.

Web Beacons – Web beacons are small images that may be included in our Site and in our messages. Web Beacons may be used for a number of purposes such as:

  • counting visitors to the Site,
  • monitoring how users navigate the Site,
  • counting how many sent emails were actually opened, or
  • counting how many particular links were actually viewed.

Embedded Scripts – An embedded script collects information about how you use the Site. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device while you are connected to the Site and is deactivated or deleted when you leave.

Browser Fingerprinting – Browser fingerprinting is based on the analysis of information from your device. Items such as your operating system, plug-ins, system fonts and other data are used to create a unique ID to identify your device.

Entity tags – An entity tag, or ETag, is an opaque identifier assigned by a web server to a specific version of a resource found at a web server. If the resource content ever changes, a new and different ETag is assigned. Used in this manner ETags are a form of Device Identifier. ETag tracking may generate unique tracking values even where you may block cookies.

Recognition Technologies – Recognition technologies make assumptions about users and devices such as that a user of multiple devices is the same user.

Analytics Technologies – We use Google Analytics 360, including Google Tag Manager and Google Ads. If you would like to learn more about Google Analytics, or opt out of this data collection and sharing activity, please use this link: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

YouTube API Services – Within your Sontiq Member Dashboard, you may allow us to collect user information like username, image, and posts from YouTube, via YouTube API services for the purposes of providing monitoring services and alerting you to digital threats that may affect you. We do not use YouTube API Services to collect, access, sell/share with external parties, or serve third party advertisements to users, including by way of Google or YouTube end user credentials. Our use of YouTube APIs is subject to this Privacy Notice. By connecting your YouTube account to our Services, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. In addition to exercising your privacy rights via the Sontiq Member Dashboard or through methods described in section 5.1 below, you can also revoke our access to your data via the Google security settings.

1.5  IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to provide part of our Services to you (such as monitoring your credit card for unlawful activity), or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations.

2    HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED?

We may use your Personal Information, Demographic Information or Usage Information that is subject to this Privacy Notice:

  • to provide you with and to improve our Services such as to protect your identity,
  • to process transactions or provide you with information such as to send you electronic newsletters,
  • to provide you with special offers or promotional and marketing materials (including sweepstakes and contests) on behalf of us or third parties, including to let you know about new products, services, or upcoming events,
  • to improve the Site including the user experience, marketing endeavors, and our Site offerings,
  • to customize your experience on the Site,
  • to serve you specific content or ads that are relevant to you,
  • to provide customer support,
  • to authenticate a credit card number and verify that the person requesting your credit report really is you,
  • to contact you with regard to your use of the Site and, in our discretion, changes to the Site and/or Site’s policies,
  • for internal business purposes, and
  • for purposes provided at the time you provide your information or as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Notice.

We will only use your Personal Information for the purposes for which we collected it and related purposes. You will be notified if we need to use your Personal Information for an unrelated purpose. We may also process your Personal Information where the processing is required or permitted by law.

2.1  USE OF INFORMATION FOR RECRUITMENT PURPOSES

You may provide information to us as part of an application to become part of the Sontiq team. This may include Personal, Demographic, or other information. We use this information to make an informed decision about proceeding with your application as a legitimate interest of our business. If you provide any information that is considered to be sensitive, you may be asked to expressly consent to our processing.

2.2  AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING

 “Automated decision making” is when choices are made by computers without the involvement of a person. Sontiq does not make decisions using automated means.

3    WHERE DOES PROCESSING OF THE INFORMATION OCCUR?

Our Services and Site operate in the United States. Information we collect, including Personal Information, will be transferred, processed, stored, and used in the United States.

The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located. Your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement according to the laws of the United States.

3.1  HOW LONG IS PERSONAL INFORMATION RETAINED?

We retain your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or processed, as described in this Privacy Notice. When determining retention periods, we consider our relationship with you and your information, the nature and sensitivity of the information, and what is reasonably necessary and proportionate to provide and improve our services. We also adjust retention periods to comply with our legal, reporting, or accounting obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. We regularly review our retention periods and assess our data minimization practices, retaining the least amount of information for the shortest retention period, while still upholding all our obligations.

For example, we retain your personal information, collected through our services and websites, for as long as your membership is active or as needed to provide services to you and our customers. When you give up your membership, your Personal Information is retained for a short period of time in the event you decide to rejoin.

4    HOW IS THE INFORMATION PROTECTED?

The security of your Personal Information is of critical importance to us. Sontiq’s security controls are independently audited, annually to help ensure compliance with the following standards:

Sontiq maintains a comprehensive Information Security Program that utilizes administrative (policies, standards, and processes), physical, and technical controls designed to provide comprehensive protection for all Sontiq systems and applications. Security, integrity, and confidentiality of data is of the highest importance.

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information.  While we make reasonable efforts to safeguard Personal Information once we receive it, the protection of your information cannot be guaranteed.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any password(s) and all activities that occur using your password(s).  You should notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your password(s) or accounts.  Please contact us (see below) if you believe your Personal Information has been exposed.

5    HOW DO I CHANGE MY INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS PREFERENCES?

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you share with us. This information may be reviewed and updated through the:

  • Site’s registration forms or
  • “Manage Account” tab on your account dashboard.

You also may write to us directly to update or delete your contact information or to request that we stop sending you any form of communication. These requests should be sent to us by postal mail to:

Sontiq
Attn: Privacy Team
9920 Franklin Square Drive
Suite 250
Nottingham, MD, 21236
USA

We may ask you to provide additional information before making these changes. This may be done to verify your identity.

When you update your information, we will make good faith efforts to make the requested changes in our systems as soon as reasonably possible. We may need to retain prior information as business records in some situations.

7    HOW IS YOUR INFORMATION USED FOR ADVERTISING?

Many companies serve advertisements across Internet sites. These companies include Sontiq as well as third parties such as network advertisers and ad exchanges. Third-party analytics service providers may be used to gauge the use of these ads on third-party sites, the viewing of ads, and the viewing of our content. The advertisements presented may be based on your activities across the Internet and mobile media. These are called “Behavioral Ads.”

Our third-party network advertisers and ad exchanges may set and access their own technologies on your device. This may include use of an identifier on your device, which may be a unique cookie or another form of unique identifier. These third-party technologies, combined with Personal Information we may provide, may:

  • help deliver advertisements to you that might interest you,
  • prevent you from seeing the same advertisements repetitively,
  • recognize you across the devices you use, and
  • understand the usefulness of the advertisements that have been delivered to you.

This Privacy Notice does not apply to the collection or use of the information by these third parties. We have provided information about these third parties in the chart at the end of this Privacy Notice. You should review their information processing practice policies.

7.1  ADVERTISING CHOICES

Some third parties may offer you certain choices regarding their Behavioral Ad practices.

You may wish to visit a site provided by the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1, which shares information on the choices provided by NAI members. This includes how to “opt-out” of members’ advertising.

You may wish to visit a site provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN, which shares information on the choices provided by DAA participants. This includes how to “opt-out” of their advertising.

By clicking on the “Opt-Out” links above, you will be directed to the respective third-party website where your computer will be scanned to determine who maintains cookies on you. At that time, you can either choose to opt out of the cookie-based targeted advertising or you can choose to opt out of cookie-based targeted advertising by selecting individual companies who maintain a cookie on your machine.

We are not responsible for effectiveness of or compliance with any third parties’ opt-out options or programs. Please note that if you delete your cookies or you visit this site using a different device or browser, you will need to repeat the opt-out processes outlined above.

8  DOES THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, LINKS TO SITES, AND/OR APPS APPEAR ON THE SITE?

The Site may contain content, links, or applications that are supplied by a third party. These third parties may collect Usage Information and your Device Identifier for their own commercial purposes. In some cases, you may be directed to other sites and applications that are operated by third parties that we do not control. These third parties may have their own terms of service, privacy policies, or other policies. We are not responsible for the practices employed by these third parties.

For example, if you “click” on a link you may be taken off the Site onto a different Internet location. These other online services may track your activities, collect information about you, and may or may not have their own published privacy policies. We are not responsible for practices of these third parties.

We encourage you to review any available policies before using third party applications. Exercise caution in connection with these applications

9  HOW IS CHILDREN’S INFORMATION PROCESSED?

We understand the importance of protecting the privacy of children. The Site and our services are not intended for use by children under the age of eighteen (18). We do not enroll children in our services although they can be a part of the services we provide to families and for which their parent/guardian must enroll them directly. We do not knowingly sell personal information of children under the age of eighteen (18) years.

Parent or Guardian Privacy Request (child under 18 years)

Sontiq does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children. If you believe we have collected Personal Information from individuals under the age of eighteen (18), a parent or guardian may make a data privacy opt-out request (subject to the limitations and exceptions under applicable law) by visiting our Opt-Out Form.

10  HOW DO WE MAKE CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY NOTICE?

This Privacy Notice may change at any time. A new revision of this Privacy Notice will be posted on this page and reflected by a change in the effective date. Any changes will be effective as of that effective date.
