Information We Collect and How We Use It

Non-personal Information

Like many websites, we may collect certain technical information about your use of the website and generally this is not information CIG could use to identify you without reference to other information. For example, we may collect your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, the identity of your internet service provider (ISP), the number and duration of page visits, how you were directed to the website, and the number of clicks you make when you use the website. This does not include demographic information about you. We track and reference your usage information, in aggregation with the usage information of other visitors to the website, to better understand how effective our website is and how visitors interact with it. We may use third parties, such as Google and our website host, to provide analytics services based on this data. The analytics and the underlying data are generally only accessible CIG and their third-party providers.

In addition, some portions of our website may use session or persistent cookies. A cookie is a file that web servers place on an Internet user’s computer. Cookies are designed to store basic information about the user and transmit that information back to servers that recognize them.

They may be used to measure visitor behavior on and in connection with a website, including through the transmission of usage information. A session cookie stays on your machine only as long as your browser is open and tuned to the site that placed the cookie. A persistent cookie remains on your machine after you log out of your account and will become active again when you return to the website. Some portions of our website use cookies as described above. You may be able to change your Internet browser settings to reflect your preference for accepting, storing, and/or deleting cookies.

Personal Information

You have the opportunity to submit personal information (such as name and email address) via the website for the purpose of providing information or making requests for information.

Sharing of Your Information

We may share your personal information with third parties in one or more of the following ways:

Third party service providers, such as website hosts: We use third parties to host our website. These third parties may have access to your personal information submitted through the website consistent with the hosting of the site;
Third party organizations that otherwise assist CIG in providing goods, services or information, including cloud storage providers in the case of firm and client data;
Successor organizations. In the event CIG undergoes a business transition (such as a merger or acquisition), we may transfer your personal information to the successor organization in such transaction. If material changes to the CIG’s privacy practices occur as a result of the business transition, CIG will post a notice on the website;
Auditors and other professional advisors: and
Law enforcement or other government and regulatory agencies or other third parties as required by, and in accordance with, applicable law or regulation.

We do not share or sell personally identifiable information to third parties for their commercial marketing purposes.

We reserve the right to disclose your personal information as permitted or required by law or regulation.

The information which we may collect from you may be transferred to, stored and processed by us in a destination outside of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), including the United States and countries whose laws concerning data privacy may not be comparable to those in EEA jurisdictions, but will only be done so in accordance with applicable laws.

How We Store Information Collected from You

We store your non-personal and personal information with the hosting providers and cloud storage providers discussed above. We may store information in accordance with CIG’s retention practices.

CIG will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with our normal procedure, this policy, and all applicable laws.

CIG uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your non-personal and personal information, online and offline. Because of the nature of our website, we do not currently encrypt any transmissions to or from the website in any manner.

Our employees, including contract employees, are generally subject to restrictions which limit their access and use of information obtained from CIG to the business purpose of providing our services to you.

However, while we take reasonable precautions against possible security breaches of the website and our customer databases and records, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. Owners of personal information are generally advised to take steps to keep their personal information safe to the extent possible.

How to Access and Update Your Personal Information

At any time, you may contact CIG to request that we:

Provide you with a copy of any personal data pursuant to Article 15 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and/or Section 45 of the Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA”) (to the extent that each of the GDPR and DPA applies to you).
