Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags and scripts are used by Conviva and our partners, affiliates, or analytics or service providers. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the website, tracking users’ movements around the website and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.

We use cookies, for example, to remember users’ settings (e.g. language preference) and for authentication. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our website, but your ability to use some features or areas of our website may be limited.

We partner with third parties to either display advertising on our website or to manage our advertising on other sites.

Confidentiality and Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Conviva limits the access to your personal information about you to Conviva employees who, we believe, reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide services to you or in order to perform their jobs.
