Prefect Privacy Policy
Effective Date: Dec 20, 2022
This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you how Prefect Technologies, Inc. protects and uses personal data that is provided or generated when you use our websites or online services (collectively the “Service”).
Information We Collect
If you fill out a form, request information from us or create an account on our Service we will collect personal data from you such as your name, email address, phone number and your employer. You can see a list of the categories of personal data we have collected and shared in the past 12 months at the end of this Privacy Policy.
In addition to the information you provide, when you use the Service we may also collect information through cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other automatic data gathering tools (“Data Tools”). These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to the Service such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived at our website(s). They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address, clickstream behavior (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with the Services) and product information. We may also use some of these Data Tools in emails we send, and therefore may collect information using these tools when you open the email or click on a link contained in the email. We may combine information that we have collected offline with information we collect online (e.g., across other third party sites or hardware devices). We may also combine information we get from a third party with information we already have.
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, as well as to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please note, however, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of the Service.
How We Use Personal Data
We may use your personal data to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, as well as other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt-out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send, or by otherwise contacting us directly.
We also use personal data to provide and maintain the Service. This means we may collect information about how users use our Service in order to gather analysis or valuable information so that we can improve the Service, provide customer support, detect, prevent and address technical issues, including fraud and unauthorized access to the Service, and otherwise manage the Service.
How We Share Personal Data
We do not share, “sell” (as that term is generally understood), rent, or trade personal data with third parties for their promotional purposes, for money or any other consideration.
We may share personal data with organizations that help us run our Service and our business, such as: (i) our subsidiaries and affiliated companies; (ii) subcontractors and other third party service providers; and/or (iii) auditors or advisers of our business processes.
We may also share and transfer your personal data to a potential or actual acquirer, successor or assignee as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.
Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your personal data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency). We may further disclose your personal data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (x) protect and defend our company’s rights or property, (y) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service, (c) protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public, or (z) protect against legal liability.
Security and Retention of Personal Data
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect personal data from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure, both during transmission and after we receive it. The security of your data is important to us, but note that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot, nor do we, guarantee its absolute security. If we learn of a security systems breach, we will inform you and the authorities of the occurrence of the breach in accordance with applicable law.
We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your personal data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Transfer of Personal Data
Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction. Your personal data may be transferred to and maintained in such jurisdictions where the data protection laws may differ from those where you live.
If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we collect such data, including personal data, in the United States and process it there in addition to other jurisdictions. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to any such data collection.
Data Access Rights
Laws in the European Union, Brazil, certain U.S. states and other jurisdictions grant their residents rights regarding their personal data. Under those laws you may have rights to: (i) access, correct or rectify your personal data; (ii) obtain a copy of personal data we have stored; (iii) opt out of, restrict or object to processing of all or certain categories of personal data; and/or (iv) not to receive discriminatory treatment based on our processing of personal data or the fact that you have opted out of certain types of processing.
Please contact us if you have a request or would like more information about rights applicable to you.
