Congruex Privacy Policy

Congruex, LLC (d.b.a. as Congruex, “we,” “us” or “our”) is committed to the goal of protecting the safety and privacy of our website located at www.congruex.com (our “Website”) for our users. In an effort to achieve this goal, Congruex does not require our users to provide any personally identifiable information to use most of the sections and features of our Website. We ask that our users do their part to protect their own privacy by reading and abiding by this privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) and all privacy-related notices posted on our Website. This Privacy Policy will govern Congruex’s treatment of any information collected through our Website and when you contact Congruex in connection with your use of our Website.

Personally Identifiable Information

In order to gain access to certain areas of our Website or to use certain features, you may choose to provide personally identifiable information, which may include, but shall not necessarily be limited to, your name, email address, mailing address or telephone number. If you do submit personally identifiable information to us, we will use that information for the purposes for which it was submitted. We may also use your information in other ways, such as to contact you about other Congruex-related activities and/or marketing campaigns or as otherwise disclosed to you at the point of collection.

For example:

You may choose to use our “submit a question,” or “blog comment” features. If you choose to use one of these features, you will be required to submit your email address to us and you will have the option of submitting your name and address; however, we collect this information from you for the sole purpose of communicating directly with you in regards to your submission and we do not intend to post your name, your email address or any other personally identifiable information of yours on our Website but we may post such information on comments made to Congruex and/or our Insiders blog. All content submitted through the “submit a question,” or “blog comment” features is reviewed by us prior to posting such content on our Website. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to exclude any personally identifiable information from your submissions prior to posting such submissions on our Website; however, the primary responsibility for protecting your privacy in this regard rests with you. To protect your privacy, when accessing the “submit a question,” or “blog comment” features, please do not include any personally identifiable information in the portion of your submissions that you intend to have posted on our Website.

You may choose to provide your personally identifiable information to Congruex when you contact us and if you choose to do so, we will only use the information you provide to respond to your correspondence.

You should be aware that we use third-party vendors to provide services on our Website and in our offline business operations. The information that you submit on our Website may be provided to those vendors on a confidential basis so that those vendors can provide services (such as maintaining our databases, sending e-mail messages or facilitating marketing campaigns) on our behalf. Other than as described in this Privacy Policy, or as may be necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of our organization, our clients, or others, or as may be necessary to comply with applicable law, we will not give or sell your personally identifiable information.

Accuracy of Content and Information and Third-Party Information

You represent and warrant that, to the best of your knowledge, all information submitted to us by you is truthful and accurate. When providing information to Congruex, you should only provide information regarding yourself; however, if you submit any information of any third party through our Website or in connection with your use of our Website, including, without limitation, any third party email addresses, you represent and warrant you have the necessary approvals and permissions to provide that information to us and for us to use and disclose that information as requested by you and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
