CONVEN takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy.
WHAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVERS
This policy covers how CONVEN treats personal information that CONVEN collects and receives, including information related to your past use of the CONVEN Service.
Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that CONVEN does not own or control or with whom CONVEN is affiliated or contracted, or to people that CONVEN does not employ or manage.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
CONVEN collects personal information when you register with CONVEN, when you use the CONVEN Service, when you visit CONVEN pages or the pages of certain CONVEN partners, and when you enter promotions or competitions. CONVEN may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners or other companies.
When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address, birth date, gender, occupation and industry. For some products and services we might also ask for other information relating to your business and person. When you register with CONVEN and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to us.
CONVEN collects information about your transactions with us and with some of our business partners.
CONVEN automatically receives and records information from your computer and browser, including your IP address, CONVEN cookie information, software and hardware attributes, and the page you request.
CONVEN uses information for the following general purposes: to customise the advertising and content you see, fulfil your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.
INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
CONVEN does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
- We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with CONVEN under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help CONVEN communicate with you about offers from CONVEN and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
- We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding unlawful activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of CONVEN's terms of service, or as otherwise required by law.
- We transfer information about you if CONVEN is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, CONVEN will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
- CONVEN displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria - for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.
- CONVEN does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.
- CONVEN works with vendors, partners, advertisers, and other service providers in different industries and categories of business.
