Highgate aims to provide a trusted Website and Services to our visitors, users and customers. We do plan on using anonymized aggregate user and customer data to improve our products and services. However, we will never sell our customers’ data, identity, or contact information to third parties or vendors. Any feature that requires sharing of personally identifiable information with third parties will be strictly opt-in and require your prior consent. The rest of this Privacy Policy sets forth in more specificity the legal details of our Privacy Policy. If you have questions, feel free to contact us at support@highgateanalytics.com.
Highgate collects and processes limited “Personal Information” and “Other Information” about users of our Website, and users or customers of our Services (or users and customers who license or purchase and use our other services or purchase products) (such parties that are users or customers of our Services or that purchase other services or products from us, the “Customers”). Further to Services agreements, we may also access, collect or process limited Personal Information about certain of Customer’s employees or contractors to enable Highgate to provide the Services. This information is typically limited to names, titles, and business email addresses of such persons and shall be considered Personal Information by Highgate under this Privacy Policy. By providing Highgate with Personal Information of Customer’s employees or contractors (either directly or by granting Highgate access to Customer account information or data with third party service providers), Customer expressly authorizes Highgate to access such Personal Information and consents to Highgate’s use of such Personal Information solely for the provision of Services in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, Other Information is information that Highgate cannot directly associate with a specific person, user or Customer without the aid of additional information. By contrast, Personal Information is information such as a name or email address that Highgate can directly associate with a specific person or entity without additional information. When we combine Other Information with Personal Information, we treat all of the combined information as Personal Information.
2.1 Collection of Information. You can visit and use the Website without submitting any Personal Information. However, if you decide to fill out one of our website forms or create an account with us or become a Customer further to a Services agreement, you will be required to provide Personal Information including name, email address, and company name. Additionally, we may access, collect or process limited Personal Information about certain of your employees or contractors to enable us to provide our Services (typically limited to name, title, and business email address). We may combine Personal Information collected through the Website and/or Services with Other Information that we or third parties collect about you in other contexts — such as our communications with you via email, phone, online support forums, or social media, service or product purchases, or your customer service records. We will treat such combined information as Personal Information and protect it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Personal Information and Other Information may be collected as follows:

We share Personal Information and Other Information with other parties for a limited set of purposes, primarily to help improve our products and services, as described below.
4.1 Your direct sharing of Personal Information through third-party web sites and services. The Website and Services may enable you to share directly Personal Information with websites or online services operated by third parties. For example, the Website and Services contain links to third-party websites that incorporate comment and social media features. The Website and Service may also contain a LinkedIn or Facebook “like” button and a Twitter “follow” button. If you choose to use these features, you may disclose your Personal Information not just to those third-party websites and services, but also to their users and the public more generally. Because these third-party websites and services are not operated or controlled by Highgate, we are not responsible for the content or practices of those websites or services. The collection, use, and disclosure of your Other Information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third party websites or services, and not this Privacy Policy, and we do not endorse, screen or approve of such policies. We encourage our users to read the privacy policies of each third party service with which they interact.
4.2 Affiliates. We may share your Other Information with our affiliates, suppliers, or contractors for our administrative purposes including activities such as IT management, Website or Services security and functionality, and for them to provide services to you, or to support and supplement the Services or other services and products that we provide.
4.3 Legal purposes. We also may use or share Personal Information or Other Information with third parties when we believe, in our sole discretion, that doing so is necessary: to comply with applicable law or a court order, subpoena, or other legal process; to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, violations of our terms and conditions, or situations involving threats to our property or the property or physical safety of any person or third party; to establish, protect, or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; or to facilitate the financing, securitization, insuring, sale, assignment, bankruptcy, or other disposal of all or part of our business or assets.

Highgate uses commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect Personal Information it collects and uses against loss or unauthorized access, use, modification, or deletion. However, no security program is foolproof, and thus we cannot guarantee the absolute security of Personal Information or Other information, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept liability for unauthorized disclosure. By using our Services or providing information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of our Services. If we learn of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on our Services portal or Website, by mail or by sending an email to you. We employ physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard the personal information we collect both online and offline. However, no website or platform is 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to the Website or through our Services or to us, and you transmit such information at your own risk. Additionally, Highgate uses Amazon Web Services as its data processing partner.

We endeavor to safeguard your information consistent with the requirements of applicable laws. If we transfer personal information that originates in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom to a country outside of such regions, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that: (i) there are appropriate safeguards in place such as binding corporate rules or the approved EU standard contractual clauses between Highgate and the recipient; (ii) the transfer is to a country that provides an adequate level of protection under applicable laws; (iii) one of the derogations for specific situations found in applicable law applies to the transfer including explicit consent, where such transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract or exercise, or the defense of legal claims; or (iv) the transfer is otherwise consistent with the requirements of applicable law. By using the Website or Services, or by providing any Personal Information or Other Information to us, you expressly consent to such transfer and processing. If you are located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your Personal Information violates applicable law.
