Data Sharing and Disclosure

Third-Party Service Providers

CognixPulse may engage third-party service providers to assist in delivering our services effectively. These providers may include analytics platforms, payment processors, and content delivery networks. We ensure that any third-party service providers we partner with adhere to our Privacy Policy standards and applicable data protection laws. Agreements are put in place to establish their commitment to safeguarding the information shared with them, and they are only granted access to the information necessary for their service. It is crucial for our users to understand that while we may share information with these partners, CognixPulse retains full responsibility for such information under our governance.

Legal Requirements and Compliance

In some instances, we may be required to disclose personal information to comply with legal obligations. This includes situations where we must respond to court orders, subpoenas, or other lawful requests from government authorities. It is part of our commitment to transparency and integrity to protect our users, while also ensuring adherence to applicable laws. We strive to notify users when disclosure is mandatory, unless prohibited by law, as we believe users have a right to understand when their information is being shared due to legal requirements.

Aggregated or Anonymized Data

CognixPulse may also create and share aggregated or anonymized data derived from the information we collect. This type of data does not identify individuals and is used for analytical purposes. For instance, we might share aggregated information about user behavior and preferences with partners or stakeholders to improve our content and services. By anonymizing data, we ensure that the privacy of our users is preserved while enabling us to derive insights that enhance the overall user experience on our platform.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, CognixPulse may transfer your information as part of that business transaction. We are committed to ensuring that any information transferred in such instances is protected in line with this Privacy Policy.

Opting Out of Communications

At CognixPulse, users are given the opportunity to opt-out of receiving non-essential communications, such as newsletters and promotional material. Upon registration or subsequent communications, users will have clear options to manage their preferences. Opting out does not affect the delivery of essential service notifications, such as updates about changes or improvements to the services they use. By respecting user preferences, CognixPulse aims to minimize unwanted communication and enhance overall user satisfaction.

Data Portability Requests

CognixPulse acknowledges the right of users to obtain and reuse their personal data for their own purposes across different services.
