All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies from your system, but if you choose to block or delete cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on G3ict. At times, third parties may set cookies or use related technologies or web beacons when you view and/or click their links. The third party’s privacy policy and/or that of its service provider will govern the use of this information and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such companies. We encourage you to read these businesses’ privacy policies to learn about how they treat your information.
Google Analytics
G3ict uses Google Analytics to collect information about your use of our websites. Google Analytics collects certain information, such as how often you use our websites. We use the information received from Google Analytics to improve our websites. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you use our websites, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with Personal Information (PI). Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our websites is restricted by Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
Social Media
You may share information from our websites with people associated with your social media account and your social media account provider. By sharing this information, you authorize G3ict to share information with your social media account provider, and you understand that the use of the information G3ict shares will be governed by the social media provider’s privacy policy. Please note that any information you post within these public forums or social media pages may become public and may be read, collected and used by anyone. Please exercise caution when deciding whether to disclose your personal information in these forums.
Security
G3ict takes appropriate precautions to protect our site visitors' information. Our websites use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal or sensitive information is required. This encryption allows your data to be safely transmitted over the Internet without being intercepted, read, altered or deleted by a malicious third party.
For EU Data Subjects
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) effective May 25, 2018 and other countries’ privacy laws provide certain rights for data subjects. Among these rights is the right to know the purpose of the processing; the categories of personal data concerned; who else outside of G3ict might have received the data from us; what the source of the information was (if you did not provide it directly to us); and how long the data will be stored. Additionally, you have the right to access and rectify your personal data if it is inaccurate. You may, under certain circumstances, also request that we cease using your data for direct marketing purposes, or that we erase your data. You may also have a right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority if you have concerns about how we process your personal data. We will upon request, provide personal data that you have provided to us to you or transmit it directly to another controller if technically feasible.
G3ict has its headquarters in the United States, and information we collect from you will be processed in the United States. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union. We collect and transfer data to the United States only with your consent. We endeavor to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with G3ict and the practices described in this privacy policy.
