We use non-personal information collected though the Website to track the use of the Website and to assist 7E in providing, maintaining, evaluating and improving the Website and the services and content that we offer.  Your non-personal information is aggregated with the non-personal information of other users to help up monitor, analyze and optimize the Website.  We may engage a third party vendor to collect, transmit and store your non-personal information and to use non-personal information to manage, monitor and optimize the Website and to measure the effectiveness of our content and users’ interaction with the Website.

If you have provided us with personal information, then your non-personal information may be associated with your personal information.

We may use your personal and non-personal information to investigate, detect, prevent and/or mitigate actual or potential fraud, prohibited activity, illegal activity or other conduct that could give rise to civil or criminal liability.

Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

7E does not sell your personal information or non-personal information, and we will not share or disclose your personal information or non-personal information with any third party except in the following limited circumstances:

  • We may disclose your personal information and non-personal information if we determine that disclosure is reasonably required or beneficial to you, us or a third party to investigate, detect, prevent and/or mitigate actual or potential fraud, prohibited activity, illegal activity or other conduct that could give rise to civil or criminal liability.
  • We may disclose your personal information and non-personal information to protect or enforce our legal rights and policies, to protect or enforce the legal rights of a third party and/or if we determine that disclosure is required by law or regulation (such as to comply with a subpoena or court order).

Cookies, Tokens and Beacons

A cookie or token is a small file placed on your computer’s hard drive or in your device’s memory to observe your use of the Website.  A beacon is a small graphic image (usually no larger than a pixel) that is placed on a web page or in an e-mail to track the behavior of the user.  7E may use cookies, tokens and beacons to monitor and analyze traffic on the Website and to track usage patters the Website.  The information provided to us through cookies, tokens and beacons is non-personal information and generally does not include the name or other identifying information of the user.

We may use a third party vendor (including Google) to provide, collect, store, transmit and analyze the non-personal information collected by cookies, tokens or beacons.  You may be able to prevent or limit the use of cookies, tokens or web beacons by modifying your browser or device settings.

Storage, Transmission and Protection of Information

7E will collect, store, transmit and protect your personal information using encryption and/or security protocols that are standard in the industry and that we believe reasonably protect your information.  We may not use a SSL certificate.  While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to keep your personal information secure, many factors affecting the security of your personal information are outside our control and we cannot guarantee absolute security.  7E is not liable or responsible for any disclosure of your personal information due to errors in transmission or factors beyond our reasonable control.

We rely on third party vendors to collect, store, transmit and protect all personal information and non-personal information collected at the Website.  We select third party vendors that use encryption and security protocols that we believe adequately protect your personal information, but we do not have actual control over our third party vendors and therefore we cannot be liable for the actions, conduct, errors or omissions of those third parties.  Our third party vendors may have terms, conditions and privacy policies that differ from this Policy, and we have no control over or responsibility for how our third party vendors collect, store, transmit or use your personal information.

Because we use third party vendors to collect, transmit and store your personal information, your personal information and non-personal information may be collected from, transmitted to or from and stored in multiple locations worldwide.  We may store, transmit and use (as provided in this Policy) your personal and non-personal information indefinitely or in perpetuity.

Transmitting and storing personal information via the internet puts that information at risk of inadvertent disclosure to or unauthorized access by third parties, such as hackers and other cybercriminals who exploit security flaws or place viruses, worms or Trojans on computers or other devices used to transmit or store your personal information.  We will take commercially reasonable measures to reduce the risk that your personal information is disclosed to or accessed by third parties inadvertently or without authorization, but we cannot entirely eliminate that risk.  By providing us with your personal information, you accept the risk that your personal information may be disclosed to or accessed by third parties inadvertently or without authorization.  7E is not responsible for the actions, conduct, errors or omissions of third parties who may access or attempt to access your personal information without our consent and authorization or for the outcomes or consequences that result from such unauthorized access.
