Privacy Policy

Safeguarding your privacy and the security of your personal information is important to us. Please take a few minutes to read the following policy so that you understand how we treat your personal information. As we continuously improve and expand our services, this policy might change, so please check it periodically. If you have questions about our privacy policy, please email us.

 

Purpose

Convergent1 has adopted this Privacy Policy in order to inform you of its policies with respect to information collected from this website. Your use of this website constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and your consent to the practices it describes. This is a website-only privacy policy and does not apply to the handling of your personal data collected by C1. Nor does it apply to its affiliates/owner-operators by means other than this web site.

 

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally Identifiable Information is any information that concerns you individually and would permit someone to contact you. For example, this pertains to your name, address, telephone/fax number, and email address. It also applies to any other personal information you submit to Convergent1 that identifies you individually.

This website will not collect any personally identifiable information about you unless you provide it.

Therefore, if you don’t want us to obtain any personally identifiable information about you, please don’t submit it to us.

You can visit and browse the C1 website without revealing personally identifiable information about yourself. You may also choose to disclose personally identifiable information about yourself, which may be maintained as described below. This website may collect personally identifiable information about you by methods such as the following:

 

Registration Forms

  • You must complete a registration form on this site to apply. For example, you’ll complete a form if you are offered the opportunity to enter a promotion. Likewise, if you become a registered user of Convergent1’s site. Also, you should complete a form when opting-in to receive C1 information through another site. This form requires certain personally identifiable information that may include, without limitation: your name, email address, postal address, number, areas of interest, product usage, and/or unique individual password.

Transactions and Activity

  • If you become a registered user or if you conduct transactions through this website, we will collect information. We’ll collect information about the transactions you engage in while on the website and your other activity on the site. This information may include, without limitation: areas of the website that you visit, transaction type, viewed content, downloads or submission, transaction amounts, payments, and billing information. We’ll also gather the nature, quantity, and price of the goods or services you exchange. Lastly, C1 will gather information on the individuals or entities with whom you communicate or transact business.

Email and other voluntary communications

  • You may also communicate with us through email, via our website, by telephone, in writing, or through other means. We collect the information in these communications, and such information may be personally identifiable.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

When you visit the Convergent1 website, similar to visiting other websites, certain anonymous information about your visit is automatically logged. This information may include the type of browser you use, the server name and IP address through which you access the internet. For example, both “aol.com” and “earthlink.net” are server IP addresses that would apply. Also, the date and time you access the site, the pages you access while at the C1 website will be available. Moreover, we’ll have a log of the internet address of the website where you linked directly to our site. This information, however, is not personally identifiable.

 

Information Use

Convergent1 may use the personally identifiable information collected through its website primarily for such purposes as:

  • helping to establish and verify the identity of users;
  • opening, maintaining, administering and servicing users’ accounts or memberships;
  • processing, servicing or enforcing transactions and sending related communications;
  • providing services and support to users;
  • improving the website, including tailoring it to users’ preferences;
  • providing users with product or service updates, promotional notices and offers, and other information about C1 and its affiliates; If you do not wish to receive such offers in the future, please click the “unsubscribe” link on any promotional email you receive from us;
  • responding to your questions inquiries, comments and instructions;
  • maintaining the security and integrity of its systems.

Convergent1 uses the anonymous browsing information collected automatically by its servers primarily to help it administer and improve its website. C1 may also use aggregated anonymous information to provide information about its website to potential business partners and other unaffiliated entities. Again, this information is not personally identifiable.

 

 

Disclosure of Convergent1 Information

Convergent1 does not provide personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties for their use in marketing directly to you. Our firm may use unaffiliated companies to help it maintain and operate its website or for other reasons related to the operation of its business, and those companies may receive your personally identifiable information for that purpose. C1 may also disclose personally identifiable information about you in connection with legal requirements, such as in response to an authorized subpoena, governmental request or investigation, or as otherwise permitted by law.

 

Children’s Privacy

This website is directed toward and designed for use by persons aged 18 or older. Convergent1 will not approve applications of, or establish or maintain registrations for any child whom Convergent1 knows to be under the age of 18. Convergent1 does not solicit or knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 18. Nevertheless, if C1 discovers that it has received personally identifiable information from an individual who indicates that he or she is, or whom Convergent1 otherwise has reason to believe is, under the age of 18, C1 will delete such information from its systems. Additionally, a child’s parent or legal guardian may request that the child’s information be corrected or deleted from our files by requesting this via our Contact Us page.

 

“Cookies” and Advertisers

This website’s server, or the servers of companies we use to operate this site, may place a “cookie” on your computer to allow you to use the website and personalize your experience. A “cookie” is a small piece of data that a web server sends to your computer, which then may be stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive.

Security

If we offer transactions on the site, the transaction information will transmit to and from Convergent1 in encrypted form. We will use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections to help protect such information from interception. Convergent1 restricts authorized access to your personal information to those persons who have a legitimate purpose to know that information to provide products or services to you and those persons you have authorized to have access to such information. Please be aware, however, that any email or other transmissions you send through the internet cannot be completely protected against unauthorized interception.

In order to provide service to you, we may send you communications. This communication will be related to your transactions, security or the administration of its website. Convergent1 and its affiliates may also wish to send you other messages or updates about our website. Consequently, this will include information about Convergent1, our affiliates, or their promotions and other activities. If you prefer not to receive non-transaction/security related communications from Convergent1 and its affiliates, please send us an email.
