We at Impetus Technologies Inc. & Impetus Infotech (India) Pvt. Ltd. know you care about your privacy, and so do we. We have developed this Privacy Policy to describe the types of Personal Information we may collect, how we may use and share that information, and how we protect it. By using, accessing, or purchasing our applications, our products/services, and/or websites (the “Product/Service”), you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. We are not in the business of selling Personal Information about you to advertisers or spammers.
“Personal Information” is any information, whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, that relates to you, and which, alone or in combination with other information, could reasonably be used to identify you. However it does not include publicly available information that is lawfully made available to the general public from federal, state, or local government records.
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time, so please review it frequently. We will indicate at the top of the policy when it was most recently updated and, if the changes are significant, we will provide more prominent notice.
Note that this Privacy Policy will apply to use of all product & services, that may be hosted by us or a third-party service provider on our behalf (a “Cloud Implementation”).
If you are using our Product/service as part of a service other than a Cloud Implementation (e.g., one that is hosted on-premises by your employer), then: (i) we are not collecting, using or sharing any Personal Information about you; and (ii) the organization that makes the service available to you (or, if applicable, the third party that hosts the services on behalf of such organization) (the “Implementing Organization”) may collect, use or share Personal Information about you, and details about the Personal Information they collect maybe found in their own privacy policy. If you are using our Products/Service as part of an implementation of our “Product/Service” other than a Cloud Implementation, please contact the Implementing Organization to obtain information regarding what Personal Information they are collecting and how they are using or sharing that information. In such case, We shall not be responsible for protection of personal information however we strictly advise you to please read those third-party policies and agreements.
We may collect or receive Personal Information about you in various ways, depending on which of our product/service, or our applications or our websites you use and how you interact with us.
You may choose to submit Personal Information and other information to us by purchasing or interacting with our “ Product/Service”, such as when you create and manage a user account, join or connect with a network, request technical support services, request information or support from us, communicate with us by email, telephone, or online chat, upload information through our “ Product/Service”, subscribe to newsletters or other subscription services, register for training or conferences, purchase products and services, submit job applications, or participate in surveys.
For certain of our “Product/Service”, we may ask you to provide information including:
Some of the information is necessary for us to provide you particular “Product/Service”, and our ability to deliver the “Product/Service” to you may be affected by your not providing certain information.
We may also collect these categories of information from sources other than directly from you. In particular, we collect this information from publicly available sources (such as your employer's website or professional social networks such as LinkedIn), and may obtain Personal Information from third party data providers which maintain lists of individuals' contact information. Other users of our “Product/Service” may provide information about you when they submit content through use of our “Product/Service”. For example, you may be mentioned in a technical support case opened by someone else. Similarly, an administrator may provide your personal data such as when they designate you as the billing or technical contact on your company's account.
Please note that we may also have access to information about you that our customers may upload to our cloud services.
The Biometric Information is subject to those third-parties own privacy policies, terms and conditions and other policies. In such case, We shall not be responsible for protection of personal information however we encourage you to read those third-party policies and agreements before participating in such credentialing activities.
When you access or use our “Product/Service”, we may collect certain information about your device and your use of our “Product/Service”. Such information may include:
In addition to the above, to provide certain features of our “Product/Service”, we may request your permission to access location information from your device. Some functions of our “Product/Service” may not work if you choose not to allow access to this location information. If you initially consent to sharing your location information through one of our applications or websites, you can subsequently stop the collection of this information by changing the settings of your device or by uninstalling the applications. In addition, even if you have not enabled location services for the applications or websites, we may derive your general location information from your use of the applications or websites, including from your Bluetooth signal while using our Product/Service.
When you use our websites, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies. A "cookie" is a file that websites send to a visitor's computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor's browser or to store information or settings on the device. The information we collect in this manner enables us to better serve you when you return to our sites - for example, it can "remember" your email address to save you having to enter it manually upon your return. We also use cookies to track responses to our marketing materials, such as emails and online advertisements. Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies or how to restrict or disable certain types of cookies. For more information about our own cookies, please email webmaster@impetus.com.
Some of our websites also use marketing automation technology (Pardot) to collect data on visitor’s behaviour. These Pardot cookies help us track your visits to our websites and enable us to create an engaging marketing experience for you. We also use Pardot cookies to understand your interaction with the emails we send you, and to ensure we’re sending you relevant information; specifically, Pardot cookies let us know whether our emails have been opened, and which links are clicked. For more information on Pardot privacy and cookie policy, please click here.
Some of our websites may also feature cookies associated with certain unaffiliated companies. For example, we partner with other companies to provide you with connections to certain social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, and to provide you with additional features such as YouTube. By engaging with such other companies’ sites, for instance, by clicking the Facebook "Like" button found on our Site, such companies may place session or persistent cookies on your device. This may allow these third-parties to collect information about your online activities over time and across websites. The use of these cookies is subject to such third-parties’ own cookie policies, which we strongly recommends you review.
We may use web analytics services on our websites, such as those of Google Analytics. The service providers that administer these services use technologies such as cookies to help us analyze how visitors use the site. The information collected through these means (including IP address) is disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate use of the website or for advertising purposes, as described below.
Some of our online advertising takes place through Google Display Advertising. As part of this program, we use Google Analytics features such as Retargeting. In connection with that feature and others offered by ad networks, we and the operators of ad networks, including Google, may use third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) – and in some cases first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) – to inform, optimize, and serve ads across the internet based on a user’s past visits to our website.
You can opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads using the Google Ads Preferences Manager. To disable Google Analytics in general, please download the browser add-on for the deactivation of Google Analytics provided by Google at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Some web browsers and mobile devices incorporate a “do not track” feature that, when enabled, signals to websites and online services that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to such a do-not-track signal, we do not recognize or respond to these signals.
