This Privacy Notice (the "Privacy Notice") describes the types of information we may collect, use, maintain, protect, disclose, or otherwise process about you when you visit the website, https://tackle.idworks.com, (the "Website" or "Site"), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, disclosing, or otherwise processing that information.

This Privacy Notice applies to information we collect:

in email, text, and other electronic communications between you and us, such as when you contact us or otherwise submit information to us, whether by telephone or through other means; and
when you interact with our advertising and applications on third-party websites and services, if those applications or advertising include links to this Privacy Notice.

It does not apply to information collected by:

us offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by Identity Works or any third-party;
us or any of our affiliates or subsidiaries related to your or any other individual’s employment or potential employment with us; or
any third-party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Website.

It is Identity Works’s policy to comply with applicable privacy laws, so our privacy practices may vary depending on where you live. Please refer to the applicable privacy addendum for your jurisdiction that is attached to this Privacy Notice for more information relevant to our data collection and handling practices in those regions.

Please read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use the Website. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to this Privacy Notice. This Privacy Notice may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Notice). Your continued use of the Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Privacy Notice periodically for updates.

Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It

Throughout this Privacy Notice, the term "Personal Data" means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. However, Personal Data does not include any deidentified or aggregated data.

Generally

We collect Personal Data from various sources, including:

directly from you when you provide it to us; and
automatically as you navigate through or otherwise use the Website.

Information You Provide to Us

We collect the following types of Personal Data directly from you when you access or use the Website: name, postal address (including billing and shipping address), email address, telephone number, job title, and signature.

In addition, we also collect other types of information that you choose to submit to us or may otherwise provide through your use of the Website, such as when you fill out a form, sign up for an account, or communicate with us.

We do not control the collection and use of your information collected by third parties described above in Disclosure of Your Information. These third parties may, however, aggregate the information they collect with information from their other customers for their own purposes.

In addition, we strive to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Data we have collected about you. We have created mechanisms to provide you with control over your Personal Data:

Tracking Technologies and Cookies. Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. In general, you can set your browser or device to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. For more information about how to reject, disable or delete cookies, please review your browser’s help menu or visit www.aboutcookies.org. If you choose to disable or reject cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of certain features, services, applications or tools available through our Website that are only available through the use of these technologies. You may disable these technologies through our cookie consent manager, which you may access by clicking the [“Cookies”] link on the bottom of any page of our Website and disabling our use of non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

Web beacons can be refused when delivered via email by disabling HTML images or refusing HTML (select "Text Only") emails via your email software. In many instances, web beacons are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies in your web browser preferences will impair their functionality.

As noted above, we do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can learn more about interest-based advertisements and your opt-out rights and options from members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") on its website (www.networkadvertising.org) and from members of the Digital Advertising Alliance on its website (www.aboutads.info).
Marketing-related Communications from Identity Works (Email). We may also use your information to contact you about our own products and services that may be of interest to you (with your consent, if required by law). If you do not wish to have your email address used by us to promote our own products and services, you can opt-out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email or other marketing communication you receive from us. This opt-out does not apply to information provided to Identity Works as a result of a product or service experience, purchase, or other transaction.

7. Do Not Track

Some web browsers permit you to broadcast a signal to websites and online services indicating a preference that they "do not track" your online activities. At this time, we do not honor such signals and we do not modify what information we collect or how we use that information based upon whether such a signal is broadcast or received by us.

8. Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

Any transmission of Personal Data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures deployed on the Website.
