1. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHY

We collect Personal Information directly from you as a user of our Site and Services, such as when you visit our Site, use our Services, sign up to receive special offers from us or register for a moderator or participant account with us. We also collect certain information automatically through your use of our Site or Services. Often, you choose what information to provide, but sometimes we require certain information for you to use and for us to provide you the Services.

1.1. Personal Information you provide.

“Personal Information” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, or as defined under applicable law.

Because of the nature of our products and Services, we must collect Personal Information such as first and last name and email address, from call moderators, participants and other users of our Services. The kinds of Personal Information that we collect depends on the types of Services you use including when you join a meeting or event or access stored documents or recordings. Our clients can also ask us to collect and provide them Personal Information about you.

We collect Personal Information directly from you, such as:

Registration and account set up data: When you sign up to use our Services, you provide us with your name (first and last), company name, mailing address, title or position phone number, email address, and a password/passcode to access your account. We use this information to create your account. We also use this information to help verify your identity, account and account activities to ensure the safety and security of your transactions.

Payment details when you complete a purchase: When you complete or authorize a purchase or similar transaction, we will ask for your email address, payment information, which may include a credit or debit card number, credit verification code (“CVV”), name (first and last), an expiration date for your credit or debit card, and billing information. We may also ask you to provide your phone number.

We use third-party payment processing companies to process your payment information. This information is used to fulfill your order. Connex does NOT store your full credit card number or CVV.

Contact information: When you contact us, we may collect your name (first and last), email address, or telephone number, client or account number, and any other Personal Information you voluntarily provide. We use your contact information to send you newsletters, share news about new solutions, features, and Services, respond to your requests and inquiries, or reach out to you about issues and questions about your account.

Your photos or images: If requested by you, we may, on your behalf, upload images or photos that you have provided us for use with our services, such as presentation slides, speaker bios and photos.

Information you provide to us when completing our surveys: If you choose to complete any of our surveys, you may share your name, email address, age, gender, answers to our surveys or comments and other information you choose to provide us in the comment fields. Our surveys are designed to collect your feedback in order for us to continually improve our Services. Participation in our surveys is completely voluntary. You choose whether to participate, and what to disclose. If you participate in a survey, your responses may be shared with third-parties we hire to conduct our surveys. We also may contact you for additional information needed to solve any issue you identify in your survey responses. We may also contact you in response to your request for help or to enter you in a drawing for a gift card to thank you for your participation in our survey.

Employment information (job applicants): When you apply for a position with us, we also collect Personal Information about you including your name, address, resume/CV, educational details, prior experience and qualifications and any other information you choose to provide. Connex Intl is an equal opportunity employer.

1.2. Personal information we collect from others.

At times it is necessary for us to supplement the Personal Information we receive from you with information from third party sources. For example, Connex verifies the billing address for all credit card transactions and may obtain credit reports for corporate customers. We use and store the Personal Information we obtain from these third- party sources in a manner consistent with this Privacy Notice.

We may also receive information about you in connection with certain features of our Site and Services. For example, we collect Personal Information (names and email addresses) when someone refers you to our Site or invites you to participate in our Services.

We may receive information about you and your interaction with our Services from our third-party business partners, and we may combine it with information we already have about you. We use this combined information to update, expand, and analyze our records about you; identify potential new customers; and create advertising tailored to your interests.

1.3. Other information we automatically collect.

Like many other websites, as you navigate through and interact with our Site and Services, we may use automatic collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:

Device information: We collect information relating to the device(s) you use to access the Services: the device model, operating system, browser type, unique device identifier, and IP address. This information is collected automatically when you use our Services. We use this information to make navigation of our Services easier, and to personalize the content you see. We will also use this information to conduct audits and to troubleshoot problems. These activities are done using cookies and other tracking technologies. Please see Section 4 (“HOW DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING MECHANISMS”) and our Detailed Cookie Use Notice for more information on cookies and other tracking technologies.

You can also learn more about cookies and how to manage them by visiting allaboutcookies.org.

Browsing history: We also collect the following information about your use of our Services: the types of content that you view or interact with, and the frequency and duration of your activities on the Services. While permission for us to collect this information is not mandatory, our access to this information is essential to helping us improve the Services’ functionality, generate web analytics, improve our product and Services offerings, and troubleshoot problems.

2. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Where we need to collect Personal Information by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you or another client, and you do not provide the Personal Information requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with our services). In this case, we may have to cancel a Service you have with us. We will notify you if this is the case at the time.

3. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Connex uses Personal Information in a number of ways described below.

Performance of a contract: We process Personal Information in order to fulfill a contractual agreement with you to provide you our Services and operate the features. This may include:

establishing an online account at your request;
processing purchase orders including billing and collecting payment for our Services;
tracking and keeping you informed about the status of your order (including to send you transactional emails notifying you about your orders, account information, changes to the Services, updates to our online documents, and other matters as required by law. You may not opt-out of transactional emails);
providing customer service (e.g., answering your questions or responding to a request through phone, email or online chat). Please note that phone conversations and online chat sessions may be monitored or recorded in accordance with applicable law.

Legitimate business reasons: We process Personal Information described above when we have legitimate business reasons to do so, or pursued by us or a third party. This may include:

performing analytics to diagnose problems or analyze use of our Site and Services;
allowing you to interact with certain third-party content service providers;
administering online surveys or special offers from us or through our third-party business partners;
internal record keeping;
enhancing other information we have about you to help us better understand you and determine your interests;
enforcement of our corporate reporting obligations and Terms and Conditions; and
aggregating and/or anonymizing Personal Information. We may aggregate and/or anonymize Personal Information so that it will no longer be considered Personal Information. We do so to generate other data for our use, which we may use and disclose for any purpose.

Legal obligation compliance: We process Personal Information described in this Notice where it is necessary to comply with legal obligations to which we may be bound. This includes:

for fraud prevention, public safety; and
to comply with law (e.g., tax and accounting), regulation, court order, subpoena, or other legal process.

With your consent: We process Personal Information (including your name, email address, or physical address/telephone number) when we have your consent to do so. This includes:

Job Applications: We also process Personal Information in order to consider an application for employment, including review of your supplied resume. The information may be saved in our files for future review and consideration. The information will be shared internally on a need-to-know basis, and will not be given to any third parties other than our service providers who process data on our behalf.

We will only use Personal Information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you would like more information about how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us at the details in Section 15 below.

4. HOW WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING MECHANISMS

Cookies: Like most companies, we may collect some Personal Information about you through a “cookie.” “Cookies” are small bits of data cached or stored on your computer based on your internet activity. They can be placed on your computer both by us and by third parties with whom we have a relationship, such as web analytics services and advertising network services. Cookies help us track and understand how individuals use and interact with our Site and Services and to otherwise help us manage our Site and Services.

You can control cookies through your browser setting and other tools. For more information on the cookies, we collect and how to disable them, please visit our Detailed Cookie Use Notice.

Cross-device tracking: Connex Intl uses data analytics companies, advertising networks, social media companies, and features offered by Google Analytics services or pixels such as from Facebook to engage in “cross-device tracking,” which occurs when platforms, publishers, and advertising technology companies try to connect an individual’s activity across smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, and other connected devices. The goal of cross-device tracking is to enable companies to link an individual’s behavior across devices.

5. HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION

When you use our Services: When you use Connex Services to conduct a meeting, we may provide some Personal Information about each participant to you as the meeting moderator as well as to other participants in your meeting.

Right to Know and Data Portability: You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of Personal Information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity we will disclose to you:

The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information.
The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information.
If we sold or disclosed Personal Information about you for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:

- disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

The information that we will provide to you will be masked, meaning that portions of it will be omitted so that it can’t be used fraudulently. For example, your telephone number may display as (123)-XXX-4567. Once we have verified your identity, we will disclose the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you, which will be made in writing and delivered through your account with us, if you maintain such an account.

We do not provide a right to know or data portability disclosure for Business-to-Business (B2B) Personal Information.

Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete any Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Please note that if you delete Personal Information about you, some of our Services may not work the same.

Once we receive your request and confirm your identity we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the Personal Information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that Personal Information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We will delete or deidentify Personal Information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

We do not provide these deletion rights for Business-to-Business (B2B) Personal Information.

Right to opt out of sale of Personal Information: You have the right to opt out of the sale of Personal Information, as defined in the CCPA. The term “sale” is defined broadly under the California Consumer Privacy Act. To the extent that “sale” under the CCPA is interpreted to include interest-based advertising or other data uses described in the “Cookies and Other Technologies” Section above, we will comply with applicable law as to those activities. You can read more on our Detailed Cookie Use Notice

To opt out of receiving interest-based advertising, you can exercise your choice by using your device’s or browser’s privacy settings.

Non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights under CCPA or applicable law, including by, denying you goods or services, charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties, providing you a different level of quality of goods or services, or suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level of quality of goods or services.

Notice Re: CJEU Schrems II Ruling

On July 16, 2020, the European Court of Justice Schrems II decision placed additional compliance requirements on the use of EU Standard Contract Clauses (SCC) for transfer of EU/EEA Personal Information to the U.S. by companies subject to Section 702 of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and/or Executive Order 12333 (E.O. 12333).

We know our clients, website visitors, and business partners care deeply about privacy and data security; and we optimize our work to get these issues right. We’d like to confirm that you can continue to use our Site and Services regarding EU/EEA/Swiss/UK Personal Information in compliance with EU/EEA/Swiss and UK law.

First, please know that it is our good faith belief that the types of EU/EEA/Swiss/UK Personal Information we receive, collect, process, use and/or share in the U.S. are not of the types of Personal Information that would generally be subject to requests from U.S. government authorities pursuant to FISA Section 702 and/or E.O. 12333.

Second, please note that as part of our good faith efforts to comply with the EU GDPR and other applicable laws we also implement data encryption at rest and in transit, data minimization, and need to know access to Personal Information.

Third, our transfer to a third country may also be necessary in order to perform a contract with you or in individual cases for the purposes of our compelling legitimate business interests and in order to comply with our internal policy, contractual and legal obligations.

Trust is a top priority for us, and we will continue to work vigilantly to ensure that our clients, website visitors, and business partners are able to enjoy the benefits of our Site and Services securely, compliantly, and without disruption.
