In various areas of our Service and in printed materials, we provide you the opportunity to submit a form with basic contact information, such as your name, email, or mailing address. With your permission, Macorva uses such information to inform you of new products, technical information and services, and upcoming events that may be of interest.

c. Payment Information.
When you purchase a subscription to our Service, third-party service providers acting on our behalf process payment information, including payment card details and billing addresses, to help us fulfill your purchase. Any Personal Data collected by such third parties will be subject to the third parties’ privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy.
d. Information Collected Through Various Forms.
We and our service providers may collect Personal Data in a variety of ways, including: (i) through use of our Service, e.g., when you sign up for a newsletter, submit information through a “contact us”, “get a quote”, or “request a demo” form, or submit a survey, report, or other user rating content; (ii) offline, such as when you attend one of our events or through a sales visit or call; or (iii) from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, social media platforms.
e. Document Submissions.
Our Service may allow users to upload documents relating to their employment. If you choose to submit documents of this nature, you may disclose certain Personal Data through our Service as a product of your submission. Macorva uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards are in place as it relates to the Personal Data you provide through our Service as part of any document submission.
f. Social Media.
We have worked with certain third-party social media providers to offer you their social networking services through our Service. For example, you can use third-party social networking services to share information about your experience on our Service with your friends and followers on those social networking services. These social networking services may be able to collect information about you, including your activity on our Service. Third-party social networking services also may notify your friends, both on our Service and on the social networking services themselves, that you are a user of our Service or about your use of our Service, in accordance with applicable law and their own privacy policies. If you choose to access or make use of third-party social networking services, we may receive information about you that you have made available to those social networking services, including information about your contacts on those social networking services.

The categories of Personal Data we receive depend on the nature of the relationship between Macorva and our Customer, but generally include the categories of Personal Data included in Section 1 of this Privacy Policy. Your employer may also provide us information that, standing alone, does not constitute Personal Data, such as your employment start date, job performance metrics, or internal employee performance ratings. Please see your employer’s handbook, privacy notice, or other supplemental privacy documentation for information addressing your employer’s Personal Data disclosure practices.

d. Personal Data Transferred to the United States.
Macorva complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework (collectively, “Privacy Shield”) as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Data from European Union (the “EU”) member countries, United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Macorva has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity, Purpose Limitation, Access, Recourse, Enforcement, and Liability. A violation of our commitment to Privacy Shield may be investigated by the Federal Trade Commission and/or the United States Department of Commerce. If there is any conflict between the policies in this Privacy Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification page, to the extent available, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov.
In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, Macorva commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of Personal Data about you. Persons from the EU or Switzerland who have inquiries or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy should first contact us via email at: support@macorva.com.
Macorva has committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the Privacy Shield Principles to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider located in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield for more information and to file a complaint.
These recourse mechanisms are available at no cost to you. Damages may be awarded in accordance with applicable law. Please note that if your complaint is not resolved through these channels, under limited circumstances, a binding arbitration option may be available before a Privacy Shield Panel. In cases of onward transfer to third parties of data of EU or Swiss individuals received pursuant to the Privacy Shield, Macorva is potentially liable.
Pursuant to the Privacy Shield, Macorva remains liable for the transfer of Personal Data to third parties acting as our agents unless we can prove we were not a party to the events giving rise to the damages.
10. DATA SECURITY.
The security of Personal Data is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
11. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY.
We do not target children and do not knowingly collect any Personal Data from children under the age of thirteen (13). When a user discloses Personal Data on our Services, the user is representing to us that he or she is at least thirteen (13) years of age.
If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the age of thirteen (13) who you believe has provided Macorva with Personal Data through our Services without your consent, please e-mail us at support@macorva.com so that we can delete the child’s information from our records.
12. EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS.
You may choose not to receive future promotional or advertising emails from us by selecting an unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email that you receive from us. Additionally, you may send a request specifying your communications preferences to support@macorva.com. You cannot opt out of receiving transactional emails related to the performance of our services. Please note that even if you opt out of receiving the foregoing emails, we may still send you a response to any “Contact” request as well as administrative, maintenance and operational emails (for example, in connection with a password reset request).
13. EXCLUSIONS.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any Personal Data collected by Macorva other than Personal Data collected through the Services. This Privacy Policy shall not apply to any unsolicited information you provide to Macorva through the Services or through any other means. This includes, but is not limited to, information posted to any public areas of the Services, such as forums, any ideas for new products or modifications to existing products, and other unsolicited submissions (collectively, “Unsolicited Information”). All Unsolicited Information shall be deemed to be non-confidential and Macorva shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose, and distribute such Unsolicited Information to others without limitation or attribution. You are responsible for the Personal Data you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.
