The intention of this Privacy Notice is to provide you with what personal information ValidML collects and how we use it, as well as describe any rights or options you may have in regards to such use. For clarity, personal information, as used in this Privacy Notice, means information that can be used to identify you, directly or indirectly, alone or together with other information (“Personal Information”). This may include things such as your full name, contact information, email address, mailing address, phone number, certain cookie and network identifiers, and any content captured by our products that may identify an individual, and other categories described below.
We gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Information internally in connection with the ValidML, including to administer, operate, and/or improve the ValidML.com, to allow you to set up a user account.
If you visit the Site, you may generally do so anonymously without providing any Personal Information. However, there are cases in which we may ask you for personal data. For example, we will occasionally conduct online surveys to better understand the needs and profiles of our Site visitors. In addition, we may request Personal Information when you register to receive additional information regarding our products and services, sign up for a newsletter, demo, or send us a question. Even if you choose not to provide the information we request, you can still visit most of the Site, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services. In case you change your mind, or wish to update or delete your Personal Information, we will endeavor to correct, update, or remove the personal data you give us in compliance with all applicable privacy laws. You can update or delete your Personal Information by contacting us at the contact points or from the profile page.

Use of Personal Information
Other than as required to perform the ValidML.com Services as required by law, as disclosed to you when the information is collected, or as described in this Privacy Notice, ValidML.com does not rent, sell, or otherwise distribute your Personal Information to third parties (without your consent).
ValidML.com collects certain Personal Information about you to operate our business, which may include Personal Information contained in legal agreements (e.g., commercial agreements, NDAs, invoices, etc.), financial information relating to payments, receivables, and fulfillment (e.g., banking information, credit card or other account numbers, addresses, phone numbers, etc.), professional or employment-related information, (e.g., job applications, resumes, education and work history details, background check results, references, etc.), and employee benefit information (e.g., stock or equity ownership information, benefit elections, personal information about dependents, medical histories, contact information, etc.).
Personal Information provided by users may be used for marketing and promotional purposes only by ValidML.com and its subsidiaries and affiliates. You may choose to opt out of such a collection by emailing ValidML.com directly. These companies may then contact you directly with product or sample offers, personalized offers and information, or to ask for your feedback on products and programs that they think may be of interest to you. While we use all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your information, ValidML.com will have no liability for disclosure of any information obtained due to errors in transmission or the unauthorized acts of third parties.
We engage third party service providers to perform certain services on our behalf. For example, we may use outside shipping companies, credit card processing companies, resellers, distributors, content providers, and/or other service providers. In order to perform those services, the service providers may need to know your Personal Information. For this reason, ValidML.com may share your Personal Information with our third party service providers at our discretion. We require that they protect this information and only use it to perform services on our behalf.
Please note that certain third parties, such as companies providing specific features of, or integrations with, the ValidML.com, or sites, services, and products provided by third parties, including some that may be linked to or otherwise made available through or on the Site and/or the ValidML.com, may use other means of passively collecting information about your use of their services, the third party offerings, or content. ValidML.com does not have access to and/or control over these third party means of data collection. For specific details on such companies’ privacy practices, please visit their privacy policies. However, in the event ValidML.com combines data from third party offerings with other Personal Information you provide to us, this Privacy Notice governs any combined Personal Information we maintain.
We may share statistical or aggregated non-personal information about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties. This data is used to customize ValidML.com website content and advertising to deliver a better experience to our users.
