Privacy Policy
Disclaimer
Beacon Consult. operates this website. It is Beacon Consult.’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Beacon Consult. collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Beacon Consult’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Beacon Consult’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Beacon Consult. may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Beacon Consult. also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on blogs.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Beacon Consult’s websites choose to interact with Beacon Consult. in ways that require Beacon Consult. to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Beacon Consult. gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Beacon Consult. are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Beacon Consult. collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Beacon Consult. Beacon Consult. does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent from engaging in certain website related activities.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Beacon Consult. discloses potentially personally-identifying information and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Beacon Consult’s behalf or to provide services available at Beacon Consult’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using Beacon Consult’s websites you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Beacon Consult. will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above. Beacon Consult. will disclose potentially personally-identifying information in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Beacon Consult. believes in good faith that discloser is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Beacon Consult, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Beacon Consult. website and have supplied your email address, Beacon Consult. may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Beacon Consult. and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Beacon Consult. takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
