Privacy Policy

NOVEDGE PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy for Novedge’s products and services (“Privacy Policy”) describes information that Novedge LLC, a California limited liability company, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Novedge”) collect, use, share, and store, including personal information (i.e., information that personally identifies you, such as your name or email address, or other data that can be reasonably used to infer this information).

This document provides information regarding how we collect and use information from our public web sites, including without limitation https://novedge.com/ (collectively, the “Websites”) and from the provision, sale, or resale of any products or services therein (collectively, the “Novedge Products.”).

Our Pledge on Privacy

We will be transparent about the different types of information we collect and how we use them. We will ask your permission before sharing your personal information with third parties for purposes other than the purpose for which the information was originally requested, or to provide the Novedge Products, and to do so only when we think they will provide you with a welcome additional service. We will use best practices to keep your data safe.

 
Your Consent

Consent to data collection and processing

By browsing the Websites or otherwise engaging with Novedge for the purchase or use of any of the Novedge Products, you agree to allow us to collect and process information as described in this Privacy Policy.

 
Consent to international data transfers

Your personal information may be collected, processed, and stored by Novedge or its service providers in the United States and other countries where the servers that we may use reside. Please be aware that the privacy protections and legal requirements, including the rights of authorities to access your personal information, in some of these countries may not be equivalent to those in your country. If you are browsing the Websites or are otherwise engaging with Novedge for the purchase or use of any of the Novedge Products in Europe or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from United States law, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to the United States and other countries where Novedge operates.

 
What information do Novedge websites collect?

The Websites collect anonymous data as well as personal information. We do not collect personal information without you first taking an action that demonstrates your prior consent — such as clicking a “submit” button on a web form, or providing such personal information to us directly (i.e. via email).

 
Any time you enter personal information in a form on one of the Websites, or submit personal information via email, we collect that information and store it on servers that are encrypted and maintained by our data center partners or those of our third-party vendors. Examples of personal information that you may provide to us include:

• Name
• Phone number
• Email address
• Mailing address
• Information about your business
• Your stated preferences
• Your photo

 
When this happens, we also set a cookie that enables us to enhance your use of the Websites, for example by pre-populating your information in another Novedge online form you may complete in the future.

 
Like most Internet sites, the Websites routinely record log entries and technical information when your browser, mobile device, or Novedge Product contacts our servers, including: 

• Inferred location
• Browser type and version
• Device type
• Referring domain
• Other anonymous metadata inferred from your web session

 
In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies may be stored on your computer when you browse the Websites. We use cookies primarily to determine how visitors engage with the Websites (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click, how frequently you access the Websites, the number of visits over time, etc.).  Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive or assigned to your web browser that enable us to enhance your experience of the Websites.

 
We may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users or other contacts in order to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. This information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the websites, engagement for the purchase of Novedge Products, and our marketing efforts. We may also collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage trends of the websites and engagement for the purchase of Novedge Products. These tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit, your use of third-party applications, and other information that assists us in analyzing and improving the websites and purchase of Novedge Products. Although we do our best to honor the privacy preferences of our Users, we are not able to respond to Do Not Track signals from your browser at this time, as we believe that there is no consistent industry standard for how to respond to Do Not Track browser settings.

 
You can “opt out” of the collection of any information through cookies or other tracking technology by actively managing the settings on your browser or mobile device. Please refer to your browser’s or mobile device’s technical information for instructions on how to delete and disable cookies, and other tracking/recording tools. (To learn more about cookies, clear gifs/web beacons and related technologies and how you may opt-out of some of this tracking, you may wish to visit one of the following sites:

http://www.networkadvertising.org  

Lastly, we may permit third-party ad networks, social media companies, and other third-party services to collect information about browsing behavior from visitors to our Websites through cookies, social plug-ins, or other tracking technology. We may permit third-party online advertising networks to collect information about your use of our Websites over time so that they may display ads that may be relevant to your interest in Novedge or the Novedge Products on other websites or services. Typically, the information is collected through cookies or similar tracking technologies.

 
How does Novedge use the information it collects?

We use the information we collect to improve your experience in purchasing or using the Novedge Products, including to relay assessments and recommendations about design software and services. We may use your contact details to send you this information, or to ask you to participate in surveys about your Novedge use, and to send you other communications from Novedge.

 
We may also use this information in an aggregated, non-identified form for research purposes and to help us make sales, marketing, and business decisions.

 
We may use service providers to perform some of these functions. Those service providers are restricted from sharing your information for any other purpose.

 
We use industry-standard methods to keep this information safe and secure while it is transmitted over your local area network and through the Internet to our servers. Depending on your location and type of data, Novedge may process your personal information on servers that are not in your home country.

 
In what circumstances does Novedge share my information?

Under no circumstance do we share personal information for any commercial or marketing purpose unrelated to the purchase and delivery of Novedge Products without asking you first. We do not rent or sell our customer lists.

 
The following are the limited situations where we may share personal information:

 
With your consent

We may share personal information when we have your consent.

 
As part of business transitions

Upon the sale or transfer of the company and/or all or part of its assets, your personal information may be among the items sold or transferred. We will request a purchaser to treat our data under the Privacy Policy in place at the time of its collection.

 
For legal reasons

We may provide information to a third party if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so for legal reasons. For example, we may disclose information in response to legal process and we may disclose information in response to lawful requests by public authorities in the United States and other countries for the purposes of law enforcement and national security.

 
We may share non-personal information (for example, aggregated or anonymized customer data) publicly and with our partners. For example, we may publish trends about CAM software purchases in a particular industry segment. We may also share non-personal information with our partners, for example, if they are interested in providing demand-response services or other incentive programs. We take steps to keep this non-personal information from being associated with you and we require our partners to do the same.

 
What choices do I have and how can I delete my personal information?

Novedge generally stores your personal information on Novedge’s servers until you request that it be deleted or edited, or for as long as you remain a Novedge customer in order to provide you with the Novedge Products.

 
All personal information is encrypted as it is transmitted to Novedge and cannot easily be accessed.

 
You can amend or delete your personal information from Novedge’s servers by contacting Novedge directly at info@novedge.com. Because of the way we maintain certain services, after your information is deleted, backup copies may linger for some time before they are deleted, and we may retain certain data for a longer period of time if we are required to do so for legal reasons.

 
Can Novedge’s Privacy Policy be changed?

Yes, this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We make efforts to provide notice of any changes on the Website or by contacting you, but you can always reference this statement on the Website.
