How Allgress Uses Information
Information Collection
You may choose to provide us with your personal information, such as your name, email address, company information, street address, and telephone number.
In order to access some areas of Allgress, including Allgress Community, you will need to have an account with a username and password. As part of your account, you may choose to provide us with additional information, such as a photo, social media profiles, or areas of expertise.
If you register to attend a Allgress-sponsored event, we will require certain information including your name, email address, company, and in some instances, emergency contact. When registering for any event, we may also require you to provide billing information (such as billing name and address, and credit card number).
Allgress or Allgress Service providers may use website tracking technologies to observe your activities, interactions, preferences, transactional information, and other computer and connection information (such as an IP address) relating to your use of our websites and services. We may also use log files, cookies, and similar technologies to collect information about the pages you view, links you click, and other actions you take when accessing our websites, services, or emails.
Use
This section describes some of the ways in which Allgress uses the information we collect. Please note that there may be other uses, which we would describe to you when we collect the information.
Allgress uses the information we collect about you to provide the Allgress websites, services, and support. For example, if you provide information to us in a “Contact Us” form, we will use your information to respond to the request.
Allgress uses your information for event planning and management, including registration, billing, and ways to connect with other event attendees, or to contact you further about relevant products and services. Any information you provide about emergency contacts or dietary preferences would be used for your safety and health purposes.
We use the contact information we collect from you and information about your activity on our websites to send you information that we believe may be of interest to you, such as product announcements, newsletters, educational materials, and details on upcoming events. We also use it to send administrative information, such as notices related to products, services, or policy changes.
We use the information we collect to understand how our websites and services are being used and to make improvements. For example, we may use the search queries entered into Allgress Community to improve search capabilities or performance. As another example, we may use questions posted or comments on Allgress Community or blog to enrich the content or help guide future enhancements to our products and services.
Your information also may be used to personalize your experience on our websites. Allgress or our services providers use website tracking technologies to display products or features that are tailored to your interests and to present advertising on other sites. For more information on these technologies see the section “Cookies and Similar Technologies.”
We may use your information to diagnose website technical problems, as well as to prevent, detect, mitigate, and investigate potential security issues, as well as fraudulent or illegal activity.
In some instances, we may combine the information you have provided to us with other publicly available information. We may also purchase data from third parties and combine this with information we have already collected. We use this combined information to update, expand, and analyze our marketing leads;, identify new customers; and create more tailored advertising.
If you participate in a Allgress-offered education or training course, your enrollment and attendance information will be recorded to track and potentially report your participation and completion. For example, completion of Allgress certifications by a services partner may be visible to Allgress and our customers, and completion of a training course may also be visible to the entity making the training available to you. This registration and tracking may be conducted by third parties on behalf of Allgress.
Disclosure
Allgress may share information with Allgress affiliates, and third-party service providers or vendors contracted to provide services on our behalf. These third-party service providers or vendors may use information we provide to them only as instructed by Allgress.
Allgress may offer the following solely or jointly with third parties or partners: webinars, events, whitepaper downloads, or other services related to Allgress offerings or services. We may share your contact information and interests in these offerings or services with these approved third parties to communicate with you about Allgress.
When you attend an event (either sponsored by Allgress or one where Allgress is a participating vendor) and have your badge scanned, your information will be shared with Allgress, as well as any partner or third party participating in that event, and potentially with the entity sponsoring your attendance at the event. For example, if your badge is scanned as you attend a session at an Allgress-sponsored conference, Allgress and any co-presenters will have access to that information to understand who was in attendance, and potentially follow up with you on relevant products or services. If you do not want your information shared with Allgress or partners in this manner, do not have your badge scanned. If your badged is scanned by a partner or a third party at an event, your information will be governed by that party’s privacy statement.
Allgress may disclose information if we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal processes; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) enforce the website Terms and Conditions; and/or (d) act to protect the interests of our users or others.
