We’re glad you chose to visit an Ask Palla site!
We value your privacy and want you to know how we use and protect your information. EightOneTech Solutions is respectful of data privacy and adopts best practices in compliance with applicable privacy law and regulations, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
Use of this website
This privacy policy describes the information we collect from you and how it may be stored and processed in the United States of America and worldwide as described below.
This website and associated EightOneTech Solutions events and publications provide products, content, and services for a professional and consumer audience and are not intended for individuals under the age of 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect or store personal data provided by anyone under 13 years of age.
If you are a European Union (EU) resident, please note that there are several provisions in this privacy policy that apply uniquely to you.
If you are a California (US) consumer, please note there are several provisions in this privacy policy that also apply uniquely to you.
What information we collect
EightOneTech Solutions collects data about you that is limited to the kind of information that can be found on a typical business card: first name, last name, job title, employer/company name, work address, work email, and work phone number. In some cases, we may ask you to provide additional professional information, such as the size of the company you work for and the industry type.
To enhance and/or update the information that you have provided to us, we may combine it with professional information or personal data that we collect from third-party sources. The personal data that we refer to in this document is the personal and professional information you provide, as well as information that we obtain from third-party sources, both of which we typically combine as one user record.
This site also collects and stores certain information automatically using cookies and similar technologies, including IP addresses, the region or general location of a computer or device accessing the internet, browser type, operating system, page view history, and other usage information. See our Cookie Policy for further details, or if you are an EU resident or California consumer, visit our Member Preferences Center to modify your cookie settings.
However, if a cookie can uniquely identify a computer, mobile device, or tablet (“Device”) and the person using that Device, this qualifies as personal data under the GDPR for EU residents. Therefore, this privacy policy shall apply to such personal data collected by EightOneTech Solutions.
Similarly, if you are a California consumer, under the CCPA, to the extent that any cookie can uniquely identify you or the device you or any other person is using via an IP address or other online identifier, this is also personal data.
How we collect it
We may collect your personal data when you register to receive any of the products, content, or services offered by EightOneTech Solutions or its third-party sponsors (“sponsors”), such as publications, subscriptions, contests, newsletters, memberships, premium content, webcasts, videos, white papers, online seminars, conferences, and events.
How do we safeguard your personal data?
Security of your personal data
EightOneTech Solutions maintains safeguards, which include technical and organizational security measures, to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized use, access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and destruction, and we require the third parties we contract with to support EightOneTech Solutions’s business operations to employ reasonable security measures as well (see “When and how we share your information with others” below).
We update and test security on an ongoing basis and restrict access to your personal data to only those who need to know in order to provide EightOneTech Solutions’s products, content, or services to you.
Storage of your personal data
We may store your personal data using EightOneTech Solutions’s own secure on-site servers or other internally hosted technology. Your personal data may also be stored by third parties, via cloud services or other technology, with whom EightOneTech Solutions has contracted to support EightOneTech Solutions’s business operations (see “When and how we share your information with others” below).
These third parties do not use or have access to your personal data apart from for cloud storage and retrieval, and EightOneTech Solutions requires such parties to employ at least the same level of security that we use to protect your personal data (see “Security of your personal data” above).
What we do with the personal data we collect
We use the personal data that we collect to communicate with you, deliver what you request, improve our service, and present other information and business offers that may be of interest.
To communicate with you
We may use your personal data to send you important notices, such as communications about your registration, transactions, and changes to EightOneTech Solutions’s terms, conditions, policies, and other internal purposes.
To deliver what you request
We may use your personal data to provide the products, content, or services you request. If you enter a sweepstake, contest, or similar EightOneTech Solutions promotion, we may use your personal data to administer such promotion.
To improve our service
We may use your personal data for auditing, data analysis, and research to improve EightOneTech Solutions’s products, content, and services.
To present offers that may be of interest to you
We may contact you to offer you additional EightOneTech Solutions or third-party products, content, or services that may be of interest to you. When we contact you regarding any such business offers, your personal data continues to be held by EightOneTech Solutions, unless you specifically indicate that EightOneTech Solutions can share it, such as when you tell us you wish to receive a business offer from one of our third-party sponsors.
The legal basis we have for processing your personal data
The GDPR requires data collectors, such as EightOneTech Solutions, to have a legal basis to use the personal data of EU residents. Therefore, EightOneTech Solutions shall apply this section to any personal data it collects.
EightOneTech Solutions uses the personal data that you provide to supply you with high-quality products, content, and services as you request; to send important notices; and for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to provide you with the information you need to make the most informed technology purchasing decisions.
We may also use your personal data to offer you products, content, or services that may be of interest to you, based upon your interests or the preferences you shared with us, and may share your personal data with third-party sponsors of content, events, and other business services or offers.
The legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent. In certain circumstances we may otherwise process your personal data if EightOneTech Solutions has a legitimate interest in doing so and EightOneTech Solutions is not infringing any of your rights and freedoms.
When EightOneTech Solutions processes your personal data for its legitimate interests, it will consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection and any other relevant law. Our legitimate business interests do not override your interests. EightOneTech Solutions will not use your personal data in circumstances where your rights and freedoms override our legitimate interests, unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law.
When and how we share your personal data with others
EightOneTech Solutions may share your personal data to deliver content and services from our sites, affiliated companies, and third-party services that might interest you, including sponsored content and events, for business operations, and to comply with valid legal processes.
If you are an EU resident, EightOneTech Solutions will only share your personal data with third parties outside of the Ask Palla Network with your consent.
For content and services that may interest you or that you request
As we mention above, your personal data may be shared within the Ask Palla Communications Publishing Network to provide you with information about products, content, and services that might interest you and for internal analytical and business development purposes (see “Ask Palla Communications Publishing Network” above). We may also share your personal data with third parties to deliver third-party sponsored content or other services that you request (see “third-party sponsored content and events” below). As indicated above (see “To present offers that may be of interest to you”), however, your personal data continues to be held by EightOneTech Solutions, unless you specifically indicate that EightOneTech Solutions can share it with the third-party sponsor.
For business operations
We may also share your personal data with third parties we have contracted with to support EightOneTech Solutions’s business operations, including delivery, fulfillment, payment processing, email deployment, suppression list management, and data processing.
For third-party sponsored content and events
EightOneTech Solutions partners with third-party sponsors to make available a large library of content to our users, such as white papers and professional events (live or online), as well as other business services or offers. To access these offers, you may need to register and provide personal data.
We may use your personal data to send you the business offer you request. In addition, your personal data may be shared with the third-party sponsor(s) of the offer to communicate with you regarding the offer. Please note that once your personal data is shared with the sponsor, the sponsor’s privacy policy, including information on how to opt out in the future, will apply to your personal data.
As required by law
Your personal data may be shared when authorized by law or necessary to comply with a valid legal process.
In the event of new ownership
If part or all of the ownership of EightOneTech Solutions or any of its products or services is sold or transferred, your personal data will be transferred to the new owner.
International Data Transfers
This section shall apply to any personal data collected by EightOneTech Solutions from EU residents.
If EightOneTech Solutions shares your personal data within the Ask Palla Communications Publishing Network or with any other third party as described in this privacy policy, and your personal data will be transferred to a state that is not a member state of either the European Union or the EEA or deemed adequate by the European Commission, EightOneTech Solutions (as a data controller/data exporter) will only conduct such transfer (to a data processor/data importer) if there are suitable safeguards in place, such as binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses, approved codes of conduct, or approved certification mechanisms. For more information, please contact EightOneTech Solutions’s Data Protection Officer (see contact details below).
How long we keep your personal data
We retain your personal data for the duration of your business relationship with us, and we hold your information only as long as necessary for each purpose we use it for, unless we have obtained your consent to use it for another or similar purpose.
