MSP360 understands the importance of safeguarding personal information obtained from users in the course of providing its services and taking reasonable means to ensure the security, integrity, and privacy of any information collected in line with this Privacy Policy. You consent to the practices indicated in this policy by submitting your information to MSP360. If you are under the age of 18, you must first obtain your parent's or guardian's permission before entering any personal information.
This Privacy Statement explains how MSP360 collects and handles the personal data you supply. It also explains your options for how we use your personal information, as well as how you can access and update that information.
MSP360 may gather personal information pertinent to you by the following means: (1) expressly from you verbally or in written form (e.g., by agreeing to receive various emails); (2) automatically via our website through online tracking, web cookies, smart devices, compiling data sets, gathering data from a browser or a device for use on other tools, or through using various algorithms to analyze a variety of data regarding online behavior, or location; or (3) through surveillance (if you attend our premises).
You Provide Following Information
MSP360 may collect the following categories of personal information directly from you or via your use of our websites and services:
We may require you to register for an account in order to access some material and use extra functionality and features of MSP360 websites and services. You will be asked to complete and submit an appropriate form, which may need complimentary or extra information.
If you register and sign in with a third-party account (such as Facebook, Google, etc.), the third-party handles the authentication of your login, and any personal information acquired during that third-party login is not covered by this policy. At the moment, you grant permission for your MSP360 account to be connected to your third-party account, MSP360 will collect your name, email address, and any other information about that third-party account that you have agreed to share during login.
If you use any of the websites we administer or the various services we offer, MSP360 may collect information pertinent to you. MSP360 may also receive information regarding you from third parties (such as business partners and subcontractors in technical, payment, and delivery services; advertising networks; data and analytics providers; academic institutions; journal owners, communities, and similar organizations; search engine information providers, and credit reference agencies).
MSP360 may utilize your personal information to fulfill any contract we have with you, to comply with legal responsibilities, or if MSP360 has a legitimate business interest in leveraging your information to improve the services and products MSP360 offers. The following are examples of legitimate business purposes: producing direct marketing and evaluating the efficacy of advertising; altering, modernizing, or personalizing our offers and communications; fraud detection; investigating suspicious activity to keep our users and data secure; and performing data analytics.
Apart from that, having obtained your explicit consent in advance (where required), MSP360 may utilize information about you in the following ways:
MSP360 will not keep your personal information for any longer than is required for the purposes for which it was obtained. This implies that when personal information is no longer necessary or, where appropriate, if a request from you to destroy or erase your personal information is received, it will be safely destroyed, put beyond use, or wiped from MSP360 systems unless it is necessary for legal or archival purposes.
MSP360 shall not share or disclose personal information pertinent to you with any unaffiliated third party unless it is one of the following cases:
MSP360 may disclose transactional and navigational information in the form of unnamed, cumulative usage statistics and demographic information that does not expose your identity or personal information, if necessary and in connection with providing publishing services on behalf of third parties.
To secure your data, we shall employ suitable physical, technological, and organizational precautions. Only those who need to know that information in order to execute their job function may have access to your personal information. Furthermore, we educate our personnel on the necessity of protecting the privacy and security of data overall and when it comes to personal information.
You should note that any identifying personal information you freely submit and that is visible to other users (e.g. on social media, forums, bulletin boards, or chat rooms) may be collected and shared by others. MSP360 cannot be held liable for such data gathering and disclosure.
We collect certain information automatically, as do most websites. IP addresses, Internet service provider ("ISP"), referring/exit pages, browser types, files seen on our site (e.g., HTML pages, images, etc. ), clickstream data, operating system types, and/or date/time stamps may be used to collect trends and operate the site.
Cookies and similar technologies are used by MSP360 and its partners to evaluate trends, manage websites, monitor user navigation across websites, and collect relevant demographic information. You may manage cookies on a browser-by-browser basis, but disabling cookies may restrict your ability to utilize particular features or functionalities when it comes to the MSP360 website or other services.
You may request that MSP360 provides you with an answer whether it holds any of your personal information. In a written query, you may:
MSP360 will not use or disclose your personal information for marketing purposes, or to any third parties, unless we have your prior consent, which we shall seek in advance, prior to collecting your personal information, if applicable under your local laws. By selecting specific boxes on the permission forms we use to collect your personal information, you can exercise your right to avoid such processing. If you want to update or view your choices at any time, you may do so by using the "opt-out" method or other ways offered in our communications. It's worth noting that you could still get transactional emails from MSP360. You may also contact our support for any relevant request.
Links to third-party websites may be found on MSP360 websites or services. Please, note that each third-party website has its own privacy and data protection policies that are not covered by this Privacy Policy when you use such.
When you visit MSP360 websites, we also enable third-party firms to show ads and/or gather some non-personally identifiable information. These firms may use web beacons or other technologies to gather information during ad serving on MSP360 websites, or they may access your cookies.
During your visits to these and other websites, these companies may gather and process information other than personal information (e.g., browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked, clickstream information, or scrolled over) to provide personalized ads about goods and services that are more likely to be of interest to you.
Any comments, complaints, or questions concerning this Policy or complaints or objections about our use of your personal information should be directed to MSP360 Chief Information Security Officer.
