Overview

SDS-Technologies is committed to helping professionals leverage their contacts and expand their network. To accomplish this, we collect and utilize Personal Information and Website Usage Information. We prioritize the protection of your privacy and strive to ensure transparency and security in handling your data. Our Privacy Policy is built upon two fundamental principles: “Yours” and “Ours.”

Yours: Safeguarding Your Information

Non-Disclosure: We pledge to never sell, rent, or share the information you provide us with any third party, under any circumstances. Your information remains exclusively yours, and we will solely use it to provide you with our services.
Account Deactivation and Data Deletion: Should you choose to deactivate your SDS-Technologies account, we will promptly delete all your information from our database. We respect your right to control your data and will ensure its complete removal upon your request.

Personal Information

In order to make your visits to our Service as enjoyable as possible, we may ask you for Personal Information. Personal Information includes, for example, your name and email address, both of which you are asked to provide when registering with SDS-Technologies. Below is a description of some of the ways that you may provide Personal Information to us, as well as further details on how we may use such Personal Information.

Sign-Up Information and Profile

You provide us with Personal Information, such as your name and email address, when you sign up for our Service. You may also choose to add information, such as work history and education background, to your profile.

User Content

Our Service offers its users the opportunity to share User Content – for instance, on our blog. If you choose to use these features, you should be aware that any Personal Information you submit through these features can be read, collected, or used by other viewers of these forums and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the Personal Information you choose to submit in these forums.

Contact Us/Feedback

If you email us through the Contact Us link on www.sds-technologies.com, we may ask you for information such as your name and email address so we can respond to your questions and comments. If you choose to correspond with us via email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address and our response to you.

Import Contacts

We utilize an import contacts feature to help you find connections to people you want to know. We make it easy for you to import your contacts from social networks and email systems.

Website Use Information

Cookies

We may use “cookies” on or in connection with our Service to maintain information about you. A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. Sds-Technologies employs the use of both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Service. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser.

When you visit our Service, our computer may ask your computer for permission to employ the use of a session or persistent cookie. Our Service will then send a cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits our Service to access the cookies it has already sent to you and not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Most web browsers can be adjusted to inform you when a cookie has been sent to you and provide you with the opportunity to refuse that cookie. However, refusing a cookie may, in some cases, preclude you from using, or negatively impact the display or function of, our Service or certain areas or features of our Service.

Clear GIFs

We may also use “Clear GIFs” (aka “web beacons” or “pixel tags”) or similar technologies in our Service and/or in our communications with you. A Clear GIF is typically a one-pixel, transparent image located on a web page or in an email or other type of message, which helps us to verify an individual’s viewing or receipt of a web page or message. Clear GIFs allow us to know whether you have viewed a web page prior to visiting our Service and may enable us to relate such information to other information, including your Personal Information. We use the information provided from Clear GIFs to enable more accurate reporting, improve the effectiveness of our marketing, and make SDS-Technologies better for our users.

IP Address and Clickstream Data

Our servers automatically collect data about your Internet Protocol address when you visit us. When you request pages from our Service, our servers may log your IP Address and sometimes your domain name. Our server may also record the referring page that linked you to us (e.g., another website or a search engine); the pages you visit on this Service; the website you visit after this Service; other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on this Service or a referral website; and other web usage activity and data logged by our web servers. We use this information for internal system administration, to help diagnose problems with our servers and to administer our Service. Such information may also be used to gather broad demographic information, such as country of origin and Internet Service Provider. We may also link this information with Personal Information.
