How we collect personal information
Depending on your relationship with Miinfotech, we may collect Personal Information from you in different ways. Some of the ways that Miinfotech may collect Personal Information include:
- When you give us Personal Information directly, including through contact forms on our Sites, surveys, registering for or participating in events, or by emailing or calling us to request products, services, or information. This Personal Information would include the specific identifiers you provide directly to us.
- When you post user-generated content on our Sites, we will collect the information you provide in such submissions, including identifiers you submit. User-generated content you submit to any public area of the Sites is considered “public” and will not be subject to the privacy protections in this Privacy Policy
- We may record any calls, training sessions, webinars, or similar events that you participate in with us. We will take commercially reasonable efforts to inform you prior to the recording and provide you with the opportunity to object to the recording.
- When we collect information about your online activity automatically through our Sites through web analysis, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, cookie identifiers and other identifiers that are automatically assigned to your computer or devices when you access the Internet.
- When our subscriber clients (“Subscribers”) use our analytics-based, data driven solutions in their business-to-business marketing and sales efforts. When acting as a service provider for our Subscribers who use our solutions, we may receive Personal Information about your online activity and commercial information based on your interactions with our Subscribers. This could include sales data, web data/Site activity data and business contact and lead information that is governed by the Subscriber’s privacy policies (collectively, “Subscriber-Provided Information”).
- When Subscribers use our advertising solutions, Miinfotech receives data from its partners related to ads served. Some of the data received may be considered Personal Information, such as Internet protocol (IP) address, cookie identifiers and other identifiers that are automatically assigned to your computer or devices when you access the Internet.
- From third-party providers, partners and integrators who gather data from a variety of sources including data co-ops or publicly-available sources that we use to develop professional profiles (“Business Profile Information”) that is compiled into our Business Database. Such information could include identifiers, such as name, title, department company name, company’s officers, and certain company employees, business and/or cell phone numbers, fax number, office address, email addresses, employment and education history, social media data and similar information.
- We may collect information from third parties such as web-based and mobile networks, exchanges, aggregators and publishers that is collected from their sites and properties, which might include identifiers such as IP address, cookies and other unique identifiers that might be considered Personal Information. We do not reverse engineer this information to identify you personally such as your name, mailing address or email address. Instead, we use the data to identify the company associated with the data and analyze the company’s behavior from a marketing and sales perspective for the benefit of our partners and Subscribers. The type of information collected via the identifiers might include information about online behavior, such as pages visited, time spent on a web page, session start/stop time, whether the visitor scrolled through or clicked on an ad or webpage, referring website address and geolocation, that is then associated with the company identified.
Except as may be applicable for our employees or job applicants, for whom we have separate privacy policies, we do not knowingly collect sensitive Personal Information (such as medical or health conditions, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or information specifying the sex life of an individual).

De-Identified and Aggregated Information. Miinfotech may use Personal Information and other information you provide to us or that we collect about you to create de-identified and aggregated information that does not directly identify you. We use this information for a variety of functions, including learning more about our current services, and developing new services. De-identified or aggregated information is not Personal Information. We may share this information within Miinfotech and with third parties in a de-identified or aggregated form that is designed to prevent anyone from identifying you.
Other Uses. We may use Personal Information for other purposes for which we have a legitimate interest, such as direct marketing, individual or market research, anti-fraud protection, training purposes, or any other purpose disclosed to you at the time you provide Personal Information or with your consent.
New Uses of Personal Information. Before we use Personal Information for any new purpose not originally disclosed to you, we will endeavor to provide information regarding the new purpose through updates to this privacy policy or other means to give you the opportunity to opt out. Where we are legally required to get your consent before processing Personal Information, we will comply with that requirement.

We purchase this information for our internal marketing purposes, and also to provide to our Subscribers and partners as part of our business-to-business analytics and data driven marketing and sales services.
How we share personal information
We may share your information as described in this Privacy Policy or with your permission.
- Service Providers. We may share your Personal Information (including Business Profile Information and Subscriber-Provided Information when permitted by our Subscribers) with third-party contractors, partners, vendors and providers we use to perform functions on our behalf or on behalf of our Subscribers for business purposes, including hosting or enriching data, customer relationship management, tech and security support, communications, and advertising (“Service Providers”). These companies will have access to your Personal Information only to perform their functions and may not use it for any other purpose. We will only share your Personal Information with Service Providers that can provide sufficient guarantees that they will process your Personal Information securely and in accordance with Data Protection Legislation. We obligate our Service Providers from taking any action with respect to your Personal Information unless instructed by Miinfotech. Such Service Providers are required to maintain the confidentiality of your Personal Information, and for Service Providers handling Subscriber-Provided Information, they are subject to substantially the same level of data protection as imposed on Miinfotech by its Subscribers.
- Business Partners. Miinfotech may share Personal Information with our business partners and affiliates to fulfill our contractual commitments, or to provide you with a product or service that you have requested. We also share this information for marketing or sales purposes including in connection with conferences or events where (if applicable) you have consented to sharing.

We may also use this and other Personal Information (such as demographic information or hashed email addresses) with third-party advertising partners. These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) to provide you with more relevant advertisements when you visit websites within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.” If you prefer that we do not share your Personal Information with third-party advertising partners for this purpose, you may opt out as described in Section 6 of this policy.

Where you have provided opt-in consent to the use of your Personal Information, we will also give you the option to opt out in a similar manner, as required by law.
- Please note also that we may have information about you in some instances where we are acting as a data processor or service provider for other businesses. In such cases, we recommend that you contact the businesses to which you originally provided your Personal Information to complete the requests described below.
- Email and Telephone Communications. To opt out of promotional emails, you can use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email or email contact@miinfotech.com. You will continue to receive transaction-related emails regarding products or services you have requested. We may also send you other non-promotional emails that you will not be able to opt out of (e.g., communications regarding updates to our Terms of Service or this Policy).

- Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control Signals. Do Not Track (“DNT”) and Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) are privacy preferences that users can set in certain web browsers to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. You may choose to enable online, where available, DNT or GPC signals to opt out of the collection and sharing of Personal Information related to your website activity.
EEA, UK, and Switzerland – Controller, Lawful Bases, and Rights
Data Controller. For residents of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), and Switzerland, Miinfotech is the data controller responsible for the personal information collected on the Sites, and as described in Sections 1-5 of this Privacy Policy. This excludes instances where we are providing services on behalf of our Subscribers for which we are acting as a processor, and in such circumstances, Subscribers are acting as controllers, and we are acting as a processor.
Miinfotech will process your Personal Information in accordance with Data Protection Laws as applicable.
Lawful Basis. We only process, store, or transfer your Personal Information when we have a lawful basis for doing so. The legal bases we may rely on to process your Personal Information are as follows:
- Legitimate Interest: Where processing of your Personal Information is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests (ours or our Subscribers or partners business interests), except where such rights are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, or where an alternate basis is required under applicable law.
- Consent: Processing of your Personal Information may occur when you have given consent for such processing for one or more specific purposes.
- Legal Obligation: Where processing of your Personal Information is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations.
- Contractual Obligation: Where processing of your Personal Information is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
- With respect to Business Profile Information we add to our Business Database, we provide individualized notice to data subjects as may be required under Article 14 of the GDPR and other applicable laws regarding our collection and use of their personal information and the right to opt-out of our Business Database and other rights as applicable.
Rights. If you are a citizen of a country in the European Economic Area, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to:
- Be informed about the collection and use of your Personal Information. One method that we use to notify you of the collection and use of your Personal Information is through use of a privacy policy, such as the one that you are reading now.
- Access Personal Information about you consistent with legal requirements.
- Portability. You have the right to receive or have your electronic Personal Information transferred to another party in certain circumstances.
- Request correction of your Personal Information where it is inaccurate or incomplete. We may provide tools you can use yourself to update your Personal Information or we may refer you to our Subscriber or other controller of your Personal Information who is able to make the correction.
- Request deletion of your Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law, also known as the “Right to be Forgotten.”
- Request restriction of or object to processing of your Personal Information, if applicable, where such requests are permitted by law.
- Data Protection Legislation also gives individuals the right not to be subject to solely automated decisions, including profiling, which have a legal or similarly significant effect on the individual. These Data Protection Legislation provisions restrict the circumstances under which a controller may carry out this type of processing and affords individuals specific rights in such circumstances. Although elements of our processing are automated, they are not solely automated and human intervention is actively part of the process. These rights are therefore inapplicable.
International Transfers. We are an India based company with international business operations, and therefore our use of your Personal Information necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis.
Cookies, pixel tags/web beacons, and analytics information
We, as well as third parties that provide content, advertising, or other functionality on our Sites, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information. These Technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, and other devices, that allow us to record information whenever you visit or interact with our Sites, services, applications, messaging, and tools, and to recognize you across devices.
- Cookies. Cookies are small text files placed in visitors’ computer browsers to store their preferences. Most browsers allow you to block and delete cookies. If you choose to delete cookies, our Sites may not work properly.
- Pixel Tags/Web Beacons. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded on the Site that collects information about how you engage with a web page. The pixel allows us to record, for example, which web pages you’ve visited or advertisements you’ve clicked on. These pixel tags work with cookies to let us know what portions of our Sites interest you, help us provide you with tailored information from our Site, and help us enhance and develop our products and services.
- Social Media Widgets. Our Sites include social media features such as the Facebook “Like” button and Twitter and LinkedIn widgets to let you share and interact with content on social media. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them. We cannot control how these companies use your information. By using these services you assume the risk that third parties may use the Personal Information you provide for any number of purposes.
- Analytics and Internet-Based Advertisers. We may also use Google Analytics and other vendors to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on some of our services and to remarket to audiences visiting the Sites and to develop Site content.
We use the Technologies as follows:
- Strictly Necessary. We use Technologies that are necessary to operate our Sites, services, applications, and tools. This includes Technologies that allow you to access our Sites, services, applications, and tools that are required to identify irregular Site behavior, prevent fraudulent activity and improve security; or that allow you to use shopping carts, saved search, or similar functions. The Sites usually only set these cookies when you make a specific action, like setting privacy preferences, or logging into the Sites. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Site may then not work.
- Performance. We may use Technologies to assess and improve the performance of our Sites, applications, services, and tools, including to help us understand how our visitors use our Sites, determine if you have interacted with our messaging, or determine whether you have viewed an item or link. All information these Technologies collect is aggregated and de-identified.
- Functional. We may use Technologies to offer you enhanced functionality when accessing or using our Sites, services, applications, or tools. This may include identifying you when you sign into our Sites or keeping track of your specific preferences, interests, or past items viewed so that we may enhance the presentation of content on our Sites. If you do not allow these Technologies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
- Targeting. We may use Technologies to deliver content, including ads relevant to your interests, on our Sites or on third-party sites. This includes using Technologies to understand whether the advertising you see is useful, such as whether you have clicked on an advertisement. Miinfotech and our advertising partners may set these Technologies. Our advertising partners may use these Technologies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other Sites.
- Social Media. Social media services set these Technologies to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.
- Opting Out of Technologies. If you would like to opt-out of the Technologies we employ on our Sites, services, applications, or tools, you may block, delete, or disable them through your browser, as applicable. The online advertising industry also provides websites you can use to opt out of receiving targeted ads from advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. Please note that you must separately opt out in each browser and on each device and that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on mobile applications.
Other rights and important information

We do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure and you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any intercepted information sent via the internet.

Where Miinfotech is a data controller, we will retain your Personal Information in accordance with Data Protection Legislation and for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you).

Personal Information that Miinfotech collects may be stored or transferred outside of your state, province, country, or governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to, in the United States, in the cloud, on our servers, or on affiliate or third-party service provider servers.
