We, our service providers, and our business partners may also collect certain information about the use of our websites by automated means. Please see the “Cookies and other information collected by automated means” section of this Privacy Policy for more information.
In this section, we set out the purposes (collectively “purposes” or “business purposes”) for which we process personal information and identify the legal grounds on which we rely to process the information.
In some cases, Egregore has a legitimate interest to process the personal information that we collect, such as to support our recruitment activities, administer our products and services (including to support, communicate about, and analyze the use of our products and services), establish and maintain customer accounts, and operate, evaluate, and improve our business, our websites, and other products and services we offer (including research and development of new products and services), or facilitate a sale of assets or merger or acquisition.
In other cases, Egregore processes personal information to fulfill our contracts with our customers and provide the requested products and services.
Egregore may also process personal information with individuals’ consent, for which individuals will receive notice at the time of collection.
In limited situations, it may be necessary for Egregore to process personal information in order to comply with our legal obligations, including to protect against, identify, investigate, and respond to fraud, illegal activity (such as incidents of hacking or misuse of our websites, products or services), claims and other liabilities, including by enforcing the terms and conditions that govern the services we provide.
We may also aggregate and/or de-identify any information that we collect, such that the information no longer identifies any specific individual. We may use, disclose, and otherwise process such information for our own legitimate business purposes – including historical and statistical analysis as well as business planning – without restriction.
Egregore may share personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. In all cases, we take measures to share only the information that is needed to fulfill the purposes for which we share the information.
To the limited extent of serving our business purposes, we may share personal information with:
The types of service providers and partners with whom we may share personal information may include:
Unless prohibited by applicable law, we reserve the right to transfer the information we maintain in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (or during the negotiations of such sale or transfer). If we engage in such sale or transfer (or related negotiations), we will – where required by applicable law – make reasonable efforts to direct the recipient to use the personal information we provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. After such sale or transfer, individuals may contact the recipient with any inquiries concerning the processing of their personal information.
In addition, we may share personal information to comply with legal and regulatory requirements to protect against and prevent fraud or illegal activity, (such as identifying and responding to incidents of hacking or misuse of our websites, products or services), claims, and other liabilities.
We, our service providers, and our business partners may collect certain information about the use of our website by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons, and other technologies.
A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor‘s computer or other Internet-connected devices to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or store information or settings in the browser. Please see our Cookies Policy for further information.
A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. We, and our service providers and business partners, may collect information about individuals’ online activities over time and across third-party websites when an individual uses our website.
The information that may be collected by automated means includes:
Web browsers may offer users of our websites the ability to disable certain types of cookies; however, if cookies are disabled, some features or functionality of our websites may not function correctly.
Some of the business partners that collect information about users’ activities on our websites may be members of organizations or programs that provide choices to individuals regarding the use of their browsing behavior for purposes of targeted advertising. For example, users may opt-out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance. European users may opt-out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, selecting the user’s country, and then clicking “Choices” (or similarly-titled link). Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.
Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time.
Our retention periods for personal information are based on business needs and legal requirements. We retain personal information for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the information was collected, and any other permissible related purpose. When we no longer need the personal information we collect, we either irreversibly anonymize the information (in which case, we may further retain and use the anonymized information) or securely destroy the information.
Individuals have certain rights and may make certain choices regarding Egregore’s processing of their personal information.
Please note that if the exercise of these rights limits our ability to process personal information, we may be precluded from providing our products or services to individuals who exercise these rights, or from otherwise engaging with such individuals going forward.
We reserve the right to verify the identity of the individual in connection with any requests regarding personal information to help ensure that we provide the information to individuals whom the information pertains to and allow only those individuals or their authorized representatives to exercise rights with respect to that information.

In some circumstances, withdrawing consent to Egregore’s use or disclosure of personal information will mean that Egregore will no longer be able to provide certain products or services to individuals who withdraw consent.
