General Statement of Privacy and Protection of Personal Information

Cloudmeb™ takes your privacy and security of personal information very seriously. We have provided a secure environment and this strict Policy that describes the limited ways the information is used and the limited access to such information.

What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Policy covers the treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and other information gathered by Cloudmeb™ when you are using or accessing the Website. This Policy also covers Cloudmeb™’s treatment of any Personal Information that Cloudmeb™ may share with its business partners or other third parties under very limited circumstances.

This Policy does not apply to the general practices and treatment of information (whether personal or not) by third parties that Cloudmeb™ does not own or control, including but not limited to any third party websites or services that you elect to access through the Website or via a link from the Website (“Third Party Website”), or to individuals that Cloudmeb™ does not manage or employ. While we attempt to facilitate access or link to only to those Third Party Websites that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third Party Websites. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Website you access. We have named and provided links to the most important of these Third Party Websites further in this Policy.

Finally, this Policy does not cover any Personal Information you send to Cloudmeb™ via any non-secured mode of communications such as email, instant messenger or Twitter, as communications via these methods may be subject to interception, loss, or alteration. While we welcome your comments, inquiries and suggestions sent to us in this manner, we encourage you to carefully examine what Personal Information you send to Cloudmeb™ via these methods.

No Collection of Personal Information as a Matter of Course

Cloudmeb™ does not, as a matter of course, gather any of your Personal Information while you are visiting or using the Website, unless you are asked to provide such information, for example by complete the contact us form and / or submit quote form and / or apply now form. Personal Information is only gathered with your informed consent. Where you have provided Personal Information, it will only be used for the stated purpose, for example to respond to your inquiry.

Security and Encryption of Information

Cloudmeb™ uses only industry best practices (physical, electronic and procedural) in keeping any data collected (including Personal Information) secure. In addition, Cloudmeb™ uses third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Website, and these third parties have been selected for their high standards of security, both electronic and physical.

Limited Gathering of Information for Statistical, Analytical and Security Purposes

Cloudmeb™ automatically collects certain information using third-party analytics programs Google Analytics to help us understand how our users use the Website, but none of this information identifies you personally. For example, each time you visit the Website, we automatically collect your IP address, browser and computer type, access times, the web page from which you came, and the web page(s) you access (as applicable). We use information collected in this manner only to better understand your needs and the needs of the Website users in the aggregate. Cloudmeb™ also makes use of information gathered for statistical purposes to keep track of the number of visits to the Website and the specific pages on the Website with a view to introducing improvements.

Your IP address and other relevant information may be used in order to trace any fraudulent or criminal activity, or any activity in violation of the Terms of Use.
