This website, and associated DEZPYTE events and publications provide products, content, and services for a consumer audience and is not intended for individuals under the age of __ years old. We do not knowingly collect or store personal data provided by anyone under __years of age.

If you are a European Union (EU) resident, please note that there are a number of provisions in this privacy policy that apply uniquely to you.

What information we collect

DEZPYTE collects data about you that is limited to the kind of information that can be found on a typical business card: first name, last name, job title, employer/company name, work address, work email, and work phone number. 

To enhance and/or update the information that you have provided to us, we may combine it with professional information or personal data that we collect from third party sources. The personal data that we refer to in this document is the personal and professional information you provide, as well as information that we obtain from third party sources, both of which we typically combine as one user record.

This site also collects and stores certain information automatically using cookies and similar technologies, including IP addresses, the region or general location of a computer or device accessing the internet, browser type, operating system, page view history, and other usage information. See our Cookie Policy for further details.

However, to the extent that any cookie can uniquely identify a computer, mobile device, or tablet ("Device"), or the person using that Device, and you are an EU resident, under the GDPR, this is personal data. Therefore, this privacy policy shall apply to such personal data collected by DEZPYTE.

Similarly, if you are a California consumer, under the CCPA, to the extent that any cookie can uniquely identify you or the device you, or any other person is using, via an IP address or other online identifier, this is also personal data.

How we collect it

We may collect your personal data when you register to receive any of the products, content or services offered by DEZPYTE or its third party sponsors ("sponsors") such as publications, subscriptions, contests, newsletters, memberships, premium content, webcasts, video, white papers, online seminars, conferences and events.

What happens if you don't provide personal data?

In order for us to provide the products, content or services you request, we need your personal data. Therefore, if you do not provide such personal data, we cannot deliver the products, content or services.

How do we safeguard your personal data?

Security of your personal data

DEZPYTE maintains safeguards which include technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized use, access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and destruction, and we require the third parties we contract with to support DEZPYTE's business operations to employ reasonable security measures as well (see "When and how we share your information with others" below).

We update and test security on an ongoing basis and restrict access to your personal data to only those who need to know in order to provide DEZPYTE's products, content or services to you.

Storage of your personal data

We may store your personal data using DEZPYTE's own secure on-site servers or other internally hosted technology. Your personal data may also be stored by third parties, via cloud services or other technology, to whom DEZPYTE has contracted with, to support DEZPYTE's business operations (see "When and how we share your information with others" below).

These third parties do not use or have access to your personal data other than for cloud storage and retrieval, and DEZPYTE requires such parties to employ at least the same level of security that we use to protect your personal data (see "Security of your personal data" above).

What we do with the personal data we collect

We use the personal data that we collect to communicate with you, deliver what you request, improve our service, and to present other information and business offers that may be of interest.

To communicate with you

We may use your personal data to send you important notices, such as communications about your registration, transactions, and changes to DEZPYTE's terms, conditions, policies, and/or other internal purposes.

To deliver what you request

We may use your personal data to provide the products, content or services you request. If you enter a sweepstake, contest, or similar DEZPYTE promotion, we may use your personal data to administer such promotion.

To improve our service

We may use your personal data for auditing, data analysis, and research to improve DEZPYTE's products, content and services.

To present offers that may be of interest to you

We may contact you to offer you additional DEZPYTE or third party products, content or services that may be of interest to you. When we contact you regarding any such business offers, your personal data continues to be held by DEZPYTE, unless you specifically indicate that DEZPYTE can share it.

The legal basis we have for processing your personal data

The GDPR requires data collectors, such as DEZPYTE, to have a legal basis to use the personal data of EU residents. Therefore, this section shall apply to any such personal data collected by DEZPYTE.

DEZPYTE uses the personal data that you provide to supply you with high-quality products, content and services as you request, to send important notices, and for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to provide you with the information you need to make the most informed technology purchasing decisions.

We may also use your personal data to offer you products, content or services that may be of interest to you, based upon your interests or the preferences you shared with us, and may share your personal data with third party sponsors of content, events, and other business services or offers.

The legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent. In certain circumstances we may otherwise process your personal data if DEZPYTE has a legitimate interest in doing so and DEZPYTE is not infringing any of your rights and freedoms.

When DEZPYTE processes your personal data for DEZPYTE's legitimate interests, DEZPYTE will consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection and any other relevant law. Our legitimate business interests do not override your interests. DEZPYTE will not use your personal data in circumstances where your rights and freedoms override our legitimate interests, unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law.

When and how we share your personal data with others

DEZPYTE will not share your personal data unless we have your consent and/or your personal data may be shared when authorized by law or necessary to comply with a valid legal process.

How long we keep your personal data

We retain your personal data for the duration of your business relationship with us, and we hold your information only as long as necessary for each purpose we use it, unless we have obtained your consent to use for another or similar purpose.
