PRIVACY POLICY
Last modified: December 7, 2020
OVERVIEW
Hamilton Core recognizes that privacy is very important to you and that you have a right to control your personal information. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust, and we take that very seriously.
We are committed to complying with the voluntary National Principles for the Fair Handling of Personal Information, developed by the Federal Privacy Commissioner and associated worldwide equivalents. We will also comply with any laws introduced to strengthen protections for consumers’ privacy.
THIS PRIVACY POLICY SETS OUT:
the types of personal information we may collect from you on www.hamiltoncore.com (and related sites);
how we may use the information;
with whom we may share it;
how you can access or ask us to change or not use the personal information we maintain about you;
how we protect your personal information;
and how to contact us with questions you may have about our privacy practices.
Please note that this Privacy Policy only applies to the Hamilton Core website located at www.hamiltoncore.com and that other Hamilton Core-affiliated websites are subject to their own privacy policies.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may ask you to provide personally identifiable information. Generally, this information will consist of your name and contact information, such as your email address, phone number and physical address. We may request this information from you in connection with activities such as account creation, use of services, inquiries about becoming a Hamilton Core partner, inquiries about jobs at Hamilton Core, job applications, conference or training registrations and requests for support.
In addition, when you visit our website, we may collect certain information such as your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses by automated means, such as cookies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. The information we collect in this manner enables us to provide general statistics regarding use of the Hamilton Core website and to better serve you when you return to our site — for example, it can “remember” your email address to save you having to enter it manually upon your return. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of Hamilton Core services or websites you visit.
We may use third party web analytics services on this site, such as those of Google Analytics. The service providers that administer these services use technologies such as cookies to help us analyse how visitors use the site. The information collected through these means (such as your IP address) is disclosed to these service providers, who use the information to evaluate use of the website. To disable Google Analytics, please download the browser add-on for the deactivation of Google Analytics provided by Google at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may use the information we collect from you to:
provide services to you;
provide you with notice of product releases, special events, training sessions, promotions or other matters relevant to you;
provide technical support and respond to your inquiries;
improve the level of service you receive from us;
prevent you from having to re-enter your personal information on future visits to our website;
operate, evaluate and improve our business (including developing new products and services; enhancing and improving our services; managing our communications; analysing our products; performing data analytics; and performing accounting, auditing and other internal functions);
detect and prevent fraud and other unauthorised activity; and
comply with applicable legal requirements, relevant industry standards and our policies.
We also may use the information we obtain about you in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.
SHARING OF INFORMATION
We may disclose information about you to our third party service providers;
to our partners;
if we are required to do so by law, regulation or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena);
in response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities;
when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity;
or with your consent.
Hamilton Core does not sell, rent, lease, barter, trade or exchange its mailing lists to third parties. In the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets, we reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use personal information you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
ACCESS AND CORRECTION
You may obtain a copy of the personal information we maintain about you, update or correct inaccuracies in that information, or request that we remove your personal information from our systems and stop contacting you at any time by submitting a form via the contact page that details your request and includes your exact name, physical address and email address.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
Our websites may contain links to other websites for your convenience and information. These websites may be operated by companies not affiliated with Hamilton Core. Linked websites may have their own privacy policies or notices, which we strongly suggest you review if you visit any such websites. We are not responsible for the content of any websites that are not affiliated with Hamilton Core, any use of those websites, or the privacy practices of those websites.
DATA TRANSFERS
We may transfer the personal information we collect about you to countries other than the country in which the information originally was collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy.
HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information you provide against accidental, unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use.
UPDATES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically and without prior notice to you to reflect changes in our personal information practices. We will post a prominent notice on our website to notify you of any significant changes to our Privacy Policy and indicate at the top of the policy when it was most recently updated.
