If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Notice, please do not use our Services or provide us with any personal information. This section regarding consent does not apply if you are based in the EEA or Switzerland.

What Types of Personal Information Do We Collect?

Information You Actively Submit on our Services: If you create an account, register for a free trial, order services, or otherwise send us data through our Services, we collect personal information about you and the company or other entity you represent (e.g., your name, organization, address, email address, phone number and fax number). You may also provide information specific to your interaction with our Services, such as payment information to make a purchase. In such instances, you will know what data is collected, because you will actively submit it.

Information Passively Submitted on our Services: When you visit our Services, our servers collect information from or about the computer, phone or other device on which you have installed or from which you access our Services. In particular, we collect the following types of information: the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet; browser type, version, and time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our Services, including date and time; cookie number; Services you viewed; your searches on our Services; and the phone number you used to call us if you call us. During some visits, we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page. Unless you also actively submit personal information to us, any information that is passively submitted typically does not allow us to identify you personally.

We, or third party service providers acting on our behalf, may use cookies, and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons to collect the information described above. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser when you use our Services to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features based on who you are. We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • To remember when you have logged into your account on our Services;
  • To process any transactions you make on our Services;
  • To prevent fraud;
  • To gather statistical information about usage of our Services;
  • To enable interactive features in our Services;
  • To advertise our Services on third party websites and other digital media.

You do not need to have cookies turned on to visit or use our Services. You can refuse cookies by turning them off on your browser. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. For specific information on how to do so, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/. If you want to access webpages on our Services that require you to sign in, you need to accept a mandatory cookie, which you can delete after you leave our Services. Our Services currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals from browsers.

Information You Actively Submit in Person or via Email, Mail or Phone: We may also collect your personal information outside of the Services in various business situations, such as if you speak with our personnel at a trade show or industry event, call us for phone-based customer service, or email or mail our personnel for business purposes. In these circumstances, we may collect and process your contact information (e.g., name, email address, phone number and business address), information about your business and its interactions with us, and any other personal information you actively provide to us. In such instances, you will know what data is collected, because you will actively submit it.

Publicly Available Information: If you have identified yourself to us as a user of our Services or expressed interest in our products or services, we may collect the following personal information about you from publicly available sources: your organization, contact information, preferences and demographic information. These publicly available sources include public profiles on company and professional networking websites.

How Do We Use Your Personal Information?

We offer our websites, products and Services to business customers. Our Services are not intended or suited for consumers or children.

We use personal information that we collect about you to:

  • Upon request, create an account for you or the organization for which you work;
  • Fulfill your orders for products and services;
  • Update your account, orders and transactions;
  • Discharge our contractual obligations to you;
  • Provide requested services and information;
  • Respond appropriately to your inquiries;
  • Secure, debug, optimize and improve the performance of our Services;
  • Customize your experience on the Services; and
  • Comply with any legal obligations that apply to us.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, including in accordance with your consent where required by applicable law, we use your email address to send you marketing communications. If you do not wish to receive such marketing emails, you may opt out by declining to receive such emails when registering or at other information collection points on our Services or by following opt-out instructions included in such emails.

We may use personal information about you collected from publicly available sources, and combine it with other personal information we have collected about you, to complete our customer profile of you in support of our sales and marketing activities.

We also perform statistical analyses of the users of our Services to improve the content, design and navigation of the Services. In these cases, we use anonymized, aggregate or statistical data that cannot be used to identify you.

To Whom Do We Disclose Your Personal Information?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share your personal information only as described below and in accordance with applicable law.

Third-Party Service Providers: We employ our Affiliated and other unaffiliated companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as to send email, remove repetitive information from customer lists, analyze data, provide marketing assistance, provide search results and links (including paid listings and links), process credit card payments, and provide customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Affiliates: We share your personal information with our Affiliates to help fulfil sales, respond appropriately to requests and to improve our and their services and business practices.

Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy subsidiaries, business units or our entire business. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless the customer consents otherwise) and applicable laws.

Protection of Smart Dust and Others: We disclose account and other personal information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Smart Dust, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. This does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, we will obtain your consent as required by law before disclosing your personal information to a third party.

What Security Measures Have We Implemented?

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input, to protect information you submit via our Services.

We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

What about Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites?

Smart Dust does not display third-party advertisements on its Services at this time.

We may provide links to other third-party websites and services that are outside our control and not covered by this Privacy Notice. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third parties.

How Can You Access and Correct Personal Information, and Exercise Other Rights?

If you have an account on our Services, please note that our Services give you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with our Services for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

Otherwise, to exercise the statutory rights you may have under applicable law, such as to access, correct, update, delete, block or limit our use of your Personal Information, please contact us at admin@smartdust.me and clearly describe your request. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable and always under the timeframes set forth by applicable laws. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes, to complete any transactions that you began prior to your request, or for other purposes as required or authorized by law.

Your Choices

You can choose not to provide personal information to us. However, some features of our Services, such as your profile, require that we collect some personal information about you.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the Web site of its developer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our Services’ essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to use any components of the Services that require you to sign in.

Amendments; Contact Us

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice will also change. If we change, modify, add or remove portions of this Privacy Notice, we will provide you with notice of such updates as required by applicable law and upload the updated Privacy Notice to our website smartdust.me. You should check our website regularly to see any recent changes we may have made.

Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.

If you have any questions or concerns about the contents of this Privacy Notice, please contact us at admin@smartdust.me, and we will try to resolve them.

In these cases, we will ensure that your privacy and other fundamental interests do not override our legitimate interests.

Legal Obligations: If we are subject to a lawful access request, engaged in a legal proceeding or suspect a user of illegal conduct, we may need to process your personal data as necessary to comply with relevant laws, regulatory requirements and to respond to lawful requests, court orders, and legal process, pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) of the EU GDPR.

Consent: If we are required to obtain your consent to send you marketing communications, place certain cookies on your device, or engage in other processing activities associated with the Services, we may perform such processing on the basis of your consent if you have provided it, pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the EU GDPR. In such cases, you may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
