9 CALIFORNIA LAW

Residents of the State of California, under California Civil Code 1798.83, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed personal information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or opt-in choice for use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

10 USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER WEB TECHNOLOGIES

Like many websites, Indigo IT may use automatic data collection tools, such as cookies, embedded web links, and web beacons. These tolls may collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and the address of the website from which you arrived at our website. They may also collect information about:

  • Your Internet Protocol (IP) address. This is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web. It allows web servers to locate and identify your computer, which is a unique address, assigned to your PC by your internet service provider or information systems department on a TCP/IP network.
  • Clickstream behavior. For example, the pages you view and the links you click.

These tools help make your visit to our website easier, more efficient, and more valuable by providing you with a customized experience and recognizing when you return.

Our website may include widgets, which are interactive mini-programs that run on our site to provide specific services from another company (such as news, opinions, music, and more). Personal information, such as your email address, may be collected through the widget to enable it to function properly. Information collected by this widget is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it.

Some web browsers may give you the ability to enable a “do not track” feature that sends signals to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different than blocking or deleting cookies, as browsers with a “do not track” feature enabled may still accept cookies. There is currently no industry standard for how companies should respond to “do not track” signals, although one may develop in the future. We currently do not respond to “do not track” signals, if we do so in the future we will describe how in this Privacy Policy.

Each subscription email from us includes instructions on how you can unsubscribe from that mailing.

11 SECURITY

We take reasonable measures, including administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Nevertheless, the internet is not a 100% secure environment, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of the transmission or storage of your information. We hold information about you both at our own premises and with the assistance of third-party service providers.
