What Information We Collect and How We May Use It

When our website readers use the System, such as by submitting resumes, GIS data, completing a form, or commenting on a post, we track each users’ information. In addition, there are a few situations in which your personal information may help us give you better products. The information we may collect includes, but may not be limited to the following:

• Name;
• Email address, phone number, mailing address, and other contact information;
• Financial information necessary to process a purchase or other request;
• Information you submit as part of an employment application;
• Contact preferences;
• Information about the GeoComm products you own;
• Information about your occupation and location;
• GIS data files containing publicly available address data;
• Business affiliations;
• Other information you provide in forms provided on the website; and
• Other information related to your requests or inquiries.

Information Collected Automatically

Some of the personal information we collect from you may happen automatically. We use tracking technologies such as cookies, log files, and pixel tags to automatically collect information when users visit our System. Information we collect includes but may not be limited to:

• IP address to measure our website traffic and to help provide a more personalized experience;
• Information regarding your browser and other technical specifications required to use our System;
• Your transaction history relating to the use of our products and services;
• Computer data or files, often called “cookies,” which may be sent by your web browser and stored on an individual computer to allow our server to “recognize” you through the navigation of the Site, and for us to credit your account for various online transactions; and
• Computer data files, often called “web beacons” that are collected from emails or links on third-party sites that allow our server to evaluate the popularity of those links or the information contained in emails or on third-party sites.

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. GeoComm will not use the information collected to market directly to that person.

In some of our email messages we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the GeoComm website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through our Web server before arriving at the destination Web page. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.

In addition, we use pixel tags — tiny graphic images — to tell us what parts of our website customers have visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches customers perform on our System. Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read. And they tell us whether emails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our customers. We store all this information in a secure third-party hosted database located in the United States.

For more information, see our Cookie Policy.

Collecting Information from Children Under the Age of 16

Our website and System are not designed for children, and we do not knowingly collect information from any person under the age of 16.

Publicly Displayed Information is Public

If you use a bulletin board or chat room on a GeoComm website you should be aware that any information you share is visible to other users. Personally identifiable information you submit to one of these forums can be read, collected, or used by other individuals to send you unsolicited messages. GeoComm is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums. For example, if you choose to make information, which was previously non-public, available by enabling certain user features, GeoComm will collect that information from your interaction and the information will become publicly available.

When We Disclose Your Information

GeoComm takes your privacy very seriously. GeoComm does not sell or rent your contact information to other marketers.

There are also times when it may be advantageous or necessary for GeoComm to make certain personal information about you available to companies that GeoComm has a strategic relationship with or that perform work for GeoComm to provide products and services to you on our behalf. These companies may help us process information, extend credit, fulfill customer orders, deliver products to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in our products and services, or conduct customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are also obligated to protect your personal information in accordance with GeoComm’s policies, except if we inform you otherwise at the time of collection.

At times we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.

We may also disclose your information to a third party as part of reorganization or a sale of the assets of GeoComm, or its subsidiaries or divisions. Any third party to which GeoComm transfers or sells the System or related assets will have the right to continue to use the personal and other information that you provide to us.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

GeoComm takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

GeoComm uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all Web pages where personal information is required. You can help us by also taking precautions to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure Web browser.

GeoComm uses a third-party credit card processor to handle any credit card transactions. No credit card information is stored at Geo-Comm.

Third Party Websites and Links

Our System may contain links to other websites. These websites may have privacy policies different than our Privacy Policy. The System may also contain certain social media icons or widgets. Although you can view the material we have linked to, you may have to create an individual account or register to use these third-party social media sites to use interactive features. Any interaction on social media or other third-party websites is governed not by this privacy policy but by the terms of use and privacy policy of the particular platform.

International Data Transfers

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights under California Consumer Privacy Act and other data protection laws, including:

• The right to know the sources of your personal information we have collected in the last twelve months, what we use that information for, whether it is being disclosed or sold, and to whom it is being disclosed or sold.

If you are making a request for erasure, we will ask you to confirm again that you want us to delete your personal information before processing your deletion request.

If you are making a request for access, we may not be able to provide specific pieces of personal information if the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of your personal information, your account with us, our network or the System.

You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf by providing that agent with your written permission. If an agent makes a request on your behalf, we may still ask that you verify your identity directly with us before we can honor the request.

Our response to a request is at no cost to you. We endeavour to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Under the California “Shine the Light” law, California residents may request information about our disclosures of certain categories of personal data to third parties (i.e., our affiliates) for such third parties’ direct marketing purpose, by emailing geocomm@geocomm.com or writing to: GeoComm (California Privacy Rights), Attn: Heather Hoskins at hhoskins@geocomm.com or, 1100 West St. Germain Street, Suite 300, St. Cloud, MN 56301.
