Last Updated: 04/30/2023

Neocol Inc provides services to businesses of all sizes. Neocol Inc cares about the security and privacy of the personal data that is entrusted to us.

This policy describes the Personal Data that we collect, how we use and share it, your rights and choices, and how you can contact us about our privacy practices.

We may collect and use personal data when we do business with you or when you do business with those that use our services. Some of our services may be accessed directly by you, including through our websites that reference this policy (e.g. Neocol.com) (collectively “Sites”). This policy applies to Neocol’s own Services. Websites, products and services of third-parties and some affiliates of Neocol are subject to their own separate privacy policies.

This Privacy Policy includes important information about your Personal Data and we encourage you to read it carefully.

1.  Introduction

Thank you for choosing Neocol Inc. This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to protecting the privacy of your personally identifiable information (PII). PII refers to any information that can be used to identify an individual. This policy governs the collection, access, storage, and use of PII by Neocol Inc and its affiliated entities.

If you contact us by phone, we will collect the phone number you use to call Neocol, as well as other information you may provide during the call. If you are a Neocol Customer, when you contact us, we may collect additional information in order to verify your identity.
• If you are a Neocol customer, you will provide your contact details, such as name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.

3.   How We Use Your Information

We use your PII for the following purposes:

• We rely upon a number of legal grounds to enable our use of your Personal Data. We use Personal Data to facilitate the business relationships we have with our Customers, to comply with our financial regulatory and other legal obligations, and to pursue our legitimate business interests.
• We may send you email marketing communications about Neocol products and services, invite you to participate in our events or surveys, or otherwise communicate with you for marketing purposes, provided that we do so in accordance with applicable law, including any consent requirements. For example, when you submit your contact information to us or when we collect your business contact details through our participation at trade shows or other events, we may use the information to follow-up with you regarding an event, send you information that you have requested on our products and services and, with your permission, include you on our marketing information campaigns.

4.   Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your PII to external parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law or to fulfil contractual obligations.

5.   Security and Retention Measures

We make reasonable efforts to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk associated with the processing of Personal Data. We maintain organizational, technical and administrative measures designed to protect Personal Data covered by this Privacy Policy against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration or misuse. Your Personal Data is only accessed by a limited number of personnel who need access to the information to perform their duties. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (e.g., you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please contact us immediately.

We retain your Personal Data as long as we are providing the Services to you or our Users (as applicable). We may also keep it to assist with our fraud monitoring, detection and prevention activities. We also keep Personal Data to comply with our tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations, where we are required to retain the data by our contractual commitments to our financial partners, and where data retention is mandated by the services you used. In all cases where we keep data, we do so in accordance with any limitation periods and records retention obligations that are imposed by applicable law.
