PRIVACY NOTICE AND POLICY

This Privacy Notice and Policy is effective as of December 1, 2021 and is regularly updated, with an updated effective date, to reflect any changes in applicable laws or any changes in the way we handle personal information.

Your privacy is important to us. Netrix, LLC is a leading provider of technology solutions and consulting services headquartered in the United States, with affiliated companies in India, the Netherlands, the Philippines and Bulgaria. This Privacy Notice and Policy (“Policy”) explains how Netrix, LLC and/or its affiliates, subsidiaries, newly acquired companies (collectively, “Netrix,” “we” and “our”) manages the personal information we obtain:

  • from our clients, vendors and business partners;
  • from or about individuals in the course of providing services to our clients or operating our business generally; and
  • from operating our websites, collaboration sites, blogs, and other digital media.

The Policy also explains the rights and choices you have in relation to our management of your personal information. As used in this Privacy Notice, “personal information” refers to any information relating to you as a person. This includes data that can identify you by itself, such as your name, or it may be information that identifies you only when combined with other available information, such as your social media username when combined with your email address.

Information Collected

As a business-to-business provider of IT products and services, we may collect information about employees of our current and potential business customers and use that information to provide and market our products and services, enter into contracts for services, install, support and bill for services, and otherwise carryout our commercial relationship with such customers.  Such information may include all types of identifiers and contact details (such as email, phone numbers, job title, and physical address) and commercial information (such as history and records of products and services you have obtained from Netrix).

For employment and recruitment purposes, Netrix may also collect and process additional personal information consistent with applicable law that may include national identification number, social security number, insurance information, marital/civil partnership status, domestic partners, dependents, emergency contact information, calendar availability and scheduling information for meeting and communication purpose, and education background and employment history.  Netrix may also collect health/medical information to accommodate a disability or illness (subject to applicable legal requirements and limitations), financial information for payroll/benefits purposes, performance feedback and development reviews, and information associated with background checks and diversity-related personal information (such as race or ethnicity) in order to comply with legal obligations and internal policies.

We may also collect information directly from you which you provide on Netrix websites, collaboration sites, partner and client portals, blogs and other digital media (collectively “Sites”), over the phone, pursuant to our customer, vendor and channel partner intake processes, or in any other way.  For example, we may collect your name, work title, email address, postal address, phone number, demographics, payment information, user ID, password, and other information you may provide on our Sites, such as when you complete a transaction, register for an account, log in to our Sites, subscribe to or request our services, participate in an event, contest or survey, or contact our customer service representatives.  We may also obtain information about you indirectly from other sources and combine that with information we collect directly from you.

In addition, when you visit our Sites, some information about your visit is automatically collected, such as your device’s operating system, application software, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access times, browser type and language, peripherals, user log data, Active Directory information, and the Sites you visited before and after our website. We also collect (directly or via third parties) information about your usage and activity on our websites, including information about your orders, purchases, and cart activity through essential and non-essential cookies, Web beacons, and similar tracking technologies.

Sensitive Personal Data and Biometric Information

Netrix does not generally collect sensitive data (also known as special categories) through our Sites or otherwise. The term “sensitive data” (also known as special categories in the EEA) refers to certain categories of personal information identified by data privacy laws as requiring special treatment, and include racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs, membership of a trade union, physical or mental health, biometric or genetic data, and sexual life or orientation. Netrix may also collect biometric information for specific purposes such as fingerprint authentication. In the limited instances when such sensitive data or biometric information may be collected, it is done in accordance with data privacy law requirements and/or with your consent.

Many internet browsers are set to accept Cookies by default, and only you have the ability to manage your browser settings.  The “help” section of most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive new cookies, and how to disable or delete cookies altogether.

Security and Protection of Your Information

Netrix protects your personal information in accordance with our data privacy policies and applicable laws.  This includes maintaining appropriate technical, physical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access.  Our policies and practices include protocols, controls, procedures and guidance to maintain these measures which take into account the risks associated with the categories of personal information and the processing we undertake.  These industry-standard measures are designed and implemented to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks represented by the processing and the nature of the personal information. We take reasonable technical, physical, and administrative steps to help protect the personal data we collect, transmit, process and store.
