The activities of PEGR, its affiliate sites, and agents are governed by this online privacy policy as amended from time to time, and not the privacy policy in effect at the time the data was collected. Please regularly review our Privacy Policy. If you have objections to the Privacy Policy, you should immediately discontinue the use of the site and the products and services enabled by the site. This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities, websites other than the Site, or Products and Services not available or enabled via the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any terms of the Privacy Policy conflict with the terms of an existing written (including electronic) agreement between you and PEGR regarding the use of specific areas of the Site or specific Products and Services (including Product- and Service-specific licenses, terms of use, or privacy disclosures) (collectively, “Product Agreements”), the terms of the Product Agreements shall govern.
The Site and the Products and Services are intended for adult audiences, and PEGR does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone under 13 years of age.
Changes in Privacy Policy
All personal information (“personal information” is defined as any information that identifies or can be used to identify the person to whom such information pertains) that we collect and maintain will be subject to this Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time. PEGR may change the Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion and will provide notice of changes in the Privacy Policy and on the home page of platform-express.com.
The Site contains links to other sites at which personal information is collected. In such instances, unless expressly provided to the contrary, the collection and use of your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site. That privacy policy should identify the entity that is collecting your personal information.
Collection of personal information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as utilizing online or hosted Products and Services, PEGR may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting a form. It is optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, PEGR may ask that you provide personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address, e-mail address, employer, job title, and department, telephone or facsimile numbers, and other personal information. When you use the Site and the Products and Services, PEGR may also collect certain information about your computer to facilitate and evaluate your use of the Site and the Products and Services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, referring or exiting web pages, and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. PEGR also uses such information to measure traffic patterns on the Site and usage of the Products and Services. We do not match such information with any other information held by PEGR unless we have your consent. By using this Site and the Products and Services, you agree and acknowledge that personal information collected through the Site or in connection with the Products and Services may be transferred across national boundaries and stored and processed in any of the countries around the world in which PEGR maintains offices, including Nigeria. You also acknowledge that in certain countries or for certain activities, the collection, transfer, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted third parties. Such third parties are bound by a contract with PEGR not to use your personal information for their purposes or provide it to any third parties. One instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed pages in which the URL for the pages is not visible, and the pages are hosted for PEGR by such third parties. For example, on the signup pages for some newsletters, the pages may be hosted by a third-party vendor, but appear to be abiprojectsltd.com pages and are governed by the PEGR privacy policy.
PEGR has established relationships with various service providers whose services are available to you from the Site, from websites that are linked to the Site, or in connection with the Products and Services. Typically, these providers offer services that PEGR customers might find useful, such as those that can be used in conjunction with Products and Services. To use those providers’ services, you may be required to provide personal information to the providers. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, personal information that you provide while you are visiting a provider’s website will be subject to the privacy policy posted on that site, and personal information that you provide while on the Site will be subject to this Privacy Policy.
How your personal information is used
PEGR collects your information to record, support, and facilitate your participation in the activities you select. If you subscribe to or register for Products and Services, for example, the information is used to register your rights, if any, to technical support or other benefits that may be made available to registered users. As another example, if you enter a contest, information is collected to qualify for the entry and to contact you regarding the contest or prize awards. Your personal information is also used to track customer preferences and keep you informed about product upgrades, special offers, and other products and services of PEGR and selected third parties unless you have opted not to receive such communications or such communications are prohibited by law. PEGR may collect information about the use of the Products and Services and the Site, such as the number of downloads, types of Services used, how many users we receive daily, and the IP/Internet address of your computer. This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually. PEGR may use this aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for improving the Site and the Products and Services, providing more relevant experiences to our customers, and for statistical analysis.
Certain Products and Services may require you to use the most current version of such Product and Service or are offered in conjunction with other Products and Services, which you may or may not have already downloaded. The Product and Service may automatically check to determine if you are using the most current version or have other Products and Services and through e-mail messages, pop-up boxes or similar mechanisms inform you if need to upgrade to use the Product and Service you have requested. During this process, an IP address identifying your computer and the Product and Service version may be sent to a Web server, but system profile information is not transmitted nor are cookies used to store information.
Your choices for personal information
PEGR recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information collected on the Site and in connection with the Products and Services. PEGR will respect your legal rights regarding access to and correction and deletion of your personal information. PEGR may communicate information to you regarding products, services, and special offers available from PEGR or selected third parties, unless you have opted not to receive such communications or such communications, are prohibited by law, although we may find it necessary to continue to communicate with you regarding your use of the Site and the Products and Services. Except in the particular circumstances described in this Privacy Policy, PEGR will not provide your name to other companies or organizations without your consent.
There are other instances in which PEGR may divulge your personal information, such as where required by law, regulation, or litigation. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that such disclosure should be made for reasons of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance.
Protection of your personal information
The personal information that you provide in connection with registering yourself as a user of the Site or the Products and Services is classified as Registration Information. Registration Information is protected in several ways. Access by you to your Registration Information is available through a password and unique customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. In addition, your Registration Information resides on secure servers that only selected PEGR personnel and contractors have access to via password. PEGR encrypts your personal information and thereby strives to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to PEGR.
Personal information that you provide that does not constitute Registration Information also resides on secure servers and is accessible only to selected PEGR personnel and contractors via password. Since this information is not accessible online, you will not be asked to select a password to view or modify such information.
Tracking, use of cookies, web beacons, and similar devices
To improve our Products and Services and the Site and provide more convenient, relevant experiences to our customers, we and our vendors may use “cookies”, “web beacons”, and similar devices to track your activities. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card and enables PEGR to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. A web beacon is a small transparent gif image that is embedded in an HTML page or email used to track when the page or email has been viewed. While PEGR uses cookies and similar devices to track your use of the Site and the Products and Services, such as the number of downloads, types of Products and Services used and downloaded, how many users we receive daily, and our web servers automatically log the IP/Internet address of your computer, PEGR does not generally use this information to identify you personally. However, if you expressly provide consent for the Site or the Product and Service to “remember” the unique identifier that you select when you register for various activities on the Site or the Products and Services, that unique identifier will be stored on a cookie on your computer and that unique identifier will be linked to your Registration Information. As a result, your navigation path around the Site and the Products and Services will be tracked.
Some Products and Services allow the tracking of access to or use of Products and Services by users, as opposed to PEGR. For example, certain Products and Services allow document authors to restrict access to documents, track access to or use of those documents, or involve communications and transmission of data over the Internet to verify the authenticity of documents, authors, and recipients. In many cases, this type of tracking will be obvious to you as a user of the Products and Services, and in others, the software and services license or terms of use, pop-up boxes, or email messages will inform you of these features and your options, such as disabling options.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies and most Products and Services that include similar devices are typically initially activated to collect data. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. (For some web pages that require authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies or similar devices will probably not be able to access those pages or the related Products and Services.) Information about non-cookie tracking devices and their features, including disabling options, are contained in the information materials provided with such Products and Services or on Site pages relating to such Products and Services.
PEGR also hires other companies to place our banner ads on other websites where they are permitted to perform tracking and reporting activities (“third-party advertisement servers”). Aside from IP addresses, they do not collect personally identifiable information in doing this work for us, and we do not give any personally identifiable information to them. Third-party advertisement servers are subject to their privacy policies. PEGR may also allow other companies to display advertisements on certain pages of the Site or within the Products and Services. If you click on these advertisements these companies may place a persistent cookie on your computer which will allow them to contact you directly. It is our policy to require these companies to provide accessible methods for you to disable these cookies, and should you have any complaint about the practices of any of these companies you should contact info@platform-express.com.
Privacy Complaints
PEGR takes its users’ privacy concerns seriously. If you believe that PEGR has not complied with this Privacy Policy for your personal information, you may write to PEGR at the following address:
Email: info@platform-express.com
In your email, please describe in as much detail as possible how you believe that the Privacy Policy has not been complied with. We will investigate your complaint promptly. If you provide PEGR with inconsistent privacy preferences (for example, by indicating on one occasion that third parties may contact you with marketing offers and indicating on another occasion that they may not), PEGR will endeavor to update your privacy preferences in a timely and accurate manner.
Also, please note that PEGR is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of non-PEGR websites to which this Site or any other PEGR website may link. You should review the privacy policy of such sites before using the sites.
