Committed to Privacy

Gotham Security LLC is committed to your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the information that we collect, how we obtain and use information from our customers who use services and products from Gotham Security LLC (“Clients”) and from visitors to our web sites and from potential Clients who have communicated, made contact, or interacted with Gotham Security LLC (“Visitors”), both in connection with online and offline services and products offered by Gotham Security LLC. Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not trade, sell, or disclose to any third party any form of PII (as defined below) without your consent and we will not disclose or make available any PII to any third parties seeking to market third party products without your consent.

Collection of Information

Gotham Security LLC shall collect Personally Identifiable Information, including but not limited to name, physical address, email address, telephone number, billing and other personal information (collectively, “PII”), from Clients when initiating service and in connection with the provisioning, support of products and services. Gotham Security LLC may collect PII from Visitors in connection with any visit to our web sites, any communication about our services and products, and any other transactions or interactions with Gotham Security LLC. Gotham Security LLC may also collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information from Clients and Visitors regarding usage of our services or our web sites (“Non-PII”). Non-PII may include system logs, time spent using certain services, cookies, and other information which does not specifically identify any one individual.

As is the case with many web sites, our systems automatically collect your IP address when you visit our site, and we may associate that with your Internet Service Provider. We may also capture certain “clickstream data” pertaining to your usage of the web site and services. Clickstream data includes, for example, information about your computer or device, web browser and operating system and their settings, the referring page that linked you to the site, the pages or ads you see or click on during your visit and when and for how long you do so, items you download, the next web site you visit when you leave the web site, and any search terms you have entered on our web sites or a referral site. All of this information may be used for a variety of purposes, including, for example, to gather aggregated demographic or statistical information.

“Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a web site for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your experience, communication and interaction with that web site. Many web sites use cookies for these purposes. We may use cookies to customize your visit to our web site and for other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance our service.

In addition to our cookies, we and our vendors and contractors may also use “pixel tags” (also known as “clear GIFs” or “web beacons”), and third party cookies to improve the performance of our web sites, provide certain features such as advertising, or to anonymously track usage of our web sites and the online activity of users. In addition, we may use such devices in our HTML-based emails to track the usage of such emails in the same manner as the usage of our web sites are tracked.

You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer, including third party cookies, or flush them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences, in which case you may still use our web site, but it may interfere with or limit some of its functionality.

You should be aware that any PII which you voluntarily include and transmit through publicly accessible forums (i.e., blogs, instant messages, and social media) may be viewed and used by anyone with access to such forums. Gotham Security LLC is unable to control such uses of your PII, and by using such services, you assume the risk that the PII provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.

Sensitive Information

We ask that you not send or disclose any sensitive PII (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, criminal background, or trade union membership) to us.

Use of Information

Gotham Security LLC will use PII to (1) market products and services to Clients and Visitors that Gotham Security LLC believes may be of interest to them, (2) provide services and products requested by Clients and Visitors and (3) enable its vendors, contractors and partners to provide and assist Gotham Security LLC in the marketing and provision of such services and products to Gotham Security LLC, Clients, or Visitors or to participate in joint marketing offers with Gotham Security LLC. In our contracts with vendors, contractors and partners, we require them to protect PII and to limit their use of such information to the purposes for which it is provided. They may not use this information for their own independent marketing purposes. If you purchase products and services offered jointly by Gotham Security LLC and one of our partners, PII may be received and shared by both Gotham Security LLC and our partner. Each company’s privacy policy may apply. However, we will not share your billing information with any third parties unless they are involved in processing payments for services that you have purchased from Gotham Security LLC. Gotham Security LLC only works with partners whom we believe maintain high standards with respect to privacy and consumer rights.

Gotham Security LLC may also use and disclose PII to investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity or activities that threaten the integrity of our service or network, as required by courts or administrative agencies or in connection with a sale, merger, or reorganization of Gotham Security LLC’s business.

Security

Gotham Security LLC has invested and deployed a wide variety of technology, security tools and procedures to make reasonable efforts to ensure the privacy of information on its network. Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as billing information), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon or “https” at the beginning of the URL in your web browser.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. The computers/servers in which we store PII are kept in a secure environment. In addition, Gotham Security LLC has implemented policies and procedures to ensure Client and Visitor privacy is safeguarded throughout its organization. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or client service) are granted access to PII.

Gotham Security LLC will continue to revise policies and implement additional security features as new technologies becomes available. However, no system or service can give a 100% guaranty of security. Therefore, you acknowledge the risk that third parties may gain unauthorized access to your information when using or accessing our services and our network.
