Corban Technology Solutions (CTS) respects your privacy and is committed to maintaining confidentiality and personal privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our responsibilities concerning how we collect and use the personal information you may share with us.

If you wish to update or remove your personal information held by CTS, please contact us.

Information Collection

CTS collects, uses and shares personal information with adequate notice and your personal consent, along with required submissions, where applicable, to authorities responsible for data protection. For example, any time you ask for information from us, subscribe to marketing or support information, participate in surveys, enter a contest or apply for a position with CTS, you will be asked to provide personal information in order to fulfill these requests. The information you provide may include contact details such as your name, email address, telephone, mailing address or other information that uniquely identifies you. Depending on what is required for us to support your request, the latter might include contact preferences, product and support preferences, your employment and educational background and job interests, and/or userIDs and passwords to authorize access to our information repositories. We also collect non-personal information such as referring websites that introduced you to us, time spent in various locations of our website(s) and where you accessed it geographically.

Purpose of Collection

We will inform you at the point of collection why we need this information and what it will be used for. CTS will not transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, with the exception of very limited conditions as described in the section below entitled “How we Share and Disclose Information”

You have the right to Opt Out

We will always provide the means for you to ‘opt-out” of receiving marketing research or direct marketing information. We assume, however, that you have given us your consent to use the information you provide us in compliance with this Policy unless you have indicated that you do not consent for example, by clicking on a check box or an appropriate option at the point of collection. Where applicable there may be some circumstances where you will be given the opportunity to “opt-in”. In these cases, we will require your direct consent before personal information you provide is used outside of the original purpose that you submitted it.

We also use cookies, which are small data files that certain sites may write to your hard drive when you visit them. These files may contain information such as a user ID that allows the site to track the pages users have visited.

CTS may also use technologies on our websites to better customize these sites in order to better serve our clients. These technologies may be used on a number of pages on our websites. When a visitor clicks on these pages, a notice, which does not contain information that identifies you, is created and may be subsequently analyzed together with cookies described above.

In most cases, you will not need to have cookies enabled. However, certain areas of the site, such as where a login and password is required, may utilize them. If, therefore, you choose to refuse all cookies through your browser settings, please be aware that some features on our website might not be fully functional.
