Tantum Group
and ist Group companies (collectively, “Tantum”, “us” or “we”) understand that
your privacy is important to you. We are committed to respecting your privacy
and protecting your personal data, which is any information that is capable of
identifying you as an individual person, collected via all websites or apps
that post a link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, “the Sites”). This
Privacy Policy describes how we handle and protect your personal data in
connection with the Sites, in our capacity as data controllers.
Information we collect
Tantum
collects personal data on certain areas of the Sites when you register for or
apply for jobs through our web site, register for Tantum newsletters and
alerts, sign up for conferences and events, and/or participate in public user
posting areas (such as discussion forums and surveys). The personal data
collected varies across the Sites and may include information that you provide,
such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax
number, and background information required to apply for a job. For instance,
by registering for Tantum newsletters or alerts, you agree to receive the
correspondence to which you have subscribed at the e-mail address that you
provided at registration. Only us or our agents will contact you using this
e-mail address. We will send e-mails to this address related to your
registration.
We may also
automatically collect information about the devices you use to interact with
our Sites. The information we automatically collect may include IP address,
device identifier, web browser, and browsing information collected through
cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear gifs, and other similar technologies
(collectively “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies”) on our Sites. We may
also automatically collect information about how you use the Sites, such as
what you have searched for and viewed on the Sites. The information
automatically collected will be associated with any personal data you have
provided.
Use of information
The personal
data we collect may be used where we have your specific consent to do so, or
where Tantum has a legitimate interest in or other legal basis for processing
such information. In some situations, the collection of personal data may be
required for the operation of the Sites or to provide certain services or
products. Tantum uses your personal data to fulfill your requests for
information, process your requests to participate in conferences and events,
personalize content that you view or receive on the Sites, evaluate and improve
our services, distribute newsletters and alerts to you, recruit and evaluate
job applicants, analyze the Sites’ performance and functioning, publish your
letters to the editor or comments, prevent fraud, enforce our terms of use,
comply with all applicable laws and corporate reporting obligations, enforce Tantum’s
agreements, and accomplish other purposes you may initiate or request. We may
keep any of your personal data on file and use it to contact you.
We may use
first and third party Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies to manage our
Sites and our services and collect analytics about how you use them. The
information provided throughout this Privacy Policy about cookies also applies
to these other tracking technologies. Please refer to our Cookie Policy for more details regarding our use
of cookies.
Our Sites do
not collect personal data about your online activities over time and across
third party websites or online services. Therefore, “do not track” signals
transmitted from web browsers do not apply to our Sites, and we do not alter
any of our data collection and use practices upon receipt of such a signal.
Use of information collected via mobile devices
In connection
with our mobile applications, Tantum may use third party service providers to
analyze non-personally identifiable user activity to fix errors, monitor usage,
and improve the performance of the mobile applications. For example, we receive
reports on some of our mobile applications’ aggregate usage and browsing
patterns, including information about the type of device used, articles
accessed, and other events occurring within our apps. Tantum also receives
reports on certain errors occurring within mobile applications. None of these
third party service providers gathers information in a manner intended to
identify any particular user personally.
Data recipients and international data transfers
Personal
data collected on the Sites may be transferred from time to time to Tantum
subsidiaries and their personnel across our global organization, as well as to
our third party service providers located throughout the world. Additionally,
the Sites may be viewed and hosted by us and our third party service providers
anywhere in the world. Where required by law, we have put in place legal
mechanisms designed to ensure adequate data protection of your personal data
that is processed by Tantum subsidiaries and third party service providers,
including the transfer of your personal data to countries other than the one in
which you reside. By using any of the Sites and providing information on any of
them, you voluntarily consent to such trans-border transfer and hosting of such
information.
Tantum will
not intentionally disclose or transfer (and will take reasonable steps to
prevent the unauthorized or accidental disclosure of) your personal data to
third parties without your consent, whether for such third parties’ own
marketing purposes or otherwise, except as follows. We may provide access to
your personal data to third party service providers engaged by us to provide
services related to the Sites, provided that such third- party service
providers will first agree to maintain the strict confidentiality of such information
and provide the same level of data security as provided by Tantum.
We also may
share your personal data with third party service providers who perform
services and functions on our behalf to support our interactions with you,
including, for example, processing recruitment materials, administering surveys
or contests, or communicating with you. These third party service providers are
not permitted to use or disclose your personal data except as necessary to
perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.
In addition,
we may disclose information about you:
We maintain
processes designed to ensure that any processing of personal data by third
party service providers is consistent with this Privacy Policy and protects the
confidentiality, availability, and integrity of your personal data.
In addition,
we may disclose or transfer your personal data in the event of a
re-organization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, or other transfer or
disposition of all or any portion of our business.
User forums
You should
be aware that whenever you publicly disclose information online, that information
could be collected and used by others. Tantum is not responsible for any action
or policies of any third parties who collect information that users publicly
disclose in any such forums on the Sites.
Link to third-party sites
Tantum may
provide links to third-party websites or information as a service to our users.
If you use these links, you will leave the Sites. Such links do not constitute
or imply an endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by Tantum of the third
party, the third party website, or the information contained therein, and we
shall not be responsible or liable for your use thereof. Such use shall be
subject to the terms of use and privacy policies applicable to those sites.
Social networking
The Sites
may allow you to sign into and associate your social network accounts
including, but not limited to, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube, with Tantum.
The Sites also may allow you to log in to a Tantum account using certain social
network account credentials.
By
associating your social network account with Tantum or logging in to a Tantum
account using your social network account credentials, you give us permission
to access information that you have made available in your public profile for
that social network account. The information available in your public profile
varies based on the social network and your settings, but may include your
email address, real name, profile picture, gender, and location. We use the
information we receive from your social network account in accordance with the
social network’s terms of use and this Privacy Policy. Please refer to the
privacy settings in your social network account for information about what data
is shared with Tantum and other connected applications and to manage the data
that is shared through your account, including information about your
activities using our Sites.
If you would
like to disconnect a social media account from us, refer to the settings of
that social network account and its provider.
Security
Tantum has
implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security
to protect personal data from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Only
authorized Tantum personnel and third party service providers are provided
access to personal data, and these employees and service providers are required
to treat this information as confidential. Despite these precautions however, we
cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your
personal data.
Data retention policy
Tantum
retains personal data, as necessary, for the duration of the relevant business
relationship. We may also retain personal data for longer than the duration of
the business relationship should we need to retain it to protect ourselves
against legal claims, use it for analysis or historical record-keeping, or
comply with our information management policies and schedules. If you request
that we delete your personal data, Tantum will make reasonable attempts to
delete all instances of the information in their entirety. For requests for
access, corrections, or deletion, please refer to the “Your Rights” section of
this Privacy Policy.
Children
The Sites
are not designed for or directed at children 13 years of age or younger, and Tantum
does not intentionally collect or maintain personal data about anyone under
this age.
Your rights
Where
granted by local law, you may have the right to request access to the personal
data that we have collected about you for the purposes of reviewing, modifying,
or requesting deletion of the data. You may also have the right to request a
copy of the personal data that we have collected about you and to have any
inaccuracies in that data corrected. In certain circumstances, you may also
request that we cease processing your personal data.
If you would
like to make a request to access, review, or correct the personal data we have
collected about you, or to discuss how we process your personal data, please
contact us at office@tantum.com To help
protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your
identity, such as requiring a password and user ID, before granting access to
your personal data. We will make reasonable attempts to promptly investigate,
comply with, or otherwise respond to your requests as may be required by applicable
law. Different laws may prevent us from providing access to your personal data
or otherwise fully complying with your request depending upon the circumstances
and the request, such as for example, where producing your information may
reveal the identity of someone else. We reserve the right to charge an
appropriate fee for complying with your request where allowed by applicable
law, and/or deny your requests where they may be manifestly unfounded, and/or
excessive, or otherwise objectionable or unwarranted under applicable law.
In addition,
and where granted by local law, you have the legal right to lodge a complaint
with a competent data protection authority.
You may also

so, please either follow instructions on the page of the Site on which you have
