INOC does not ask you to provide, and we do not knowingly collect, any special categories of Personal Data from you.

In addition, we strive to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Data you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with control over your Personal Data:

  • Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
  • Promotional Offers from INOC. If you do not wish to have your email address used by INOC to promote our own products and services, you can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email or other marketing communications you receive from us or by sending an email stating your request to info@inoc.com. This opt-out does not apply to information provided to INOC as a result of a product purchase or your use of our services.

If you do not wish to have your information used to deliver targeted advertisements, you can opt out at any time by sending an email stating your request to info@inoc.com.

Your Rights Regarding Your Information and Accessing and Correcting Your Information

Applicable data protection laws may provide you with certain rights with regard to our processing of your Personal Data.

  • Access and Update. You may notify us through the Contact Information below of any changes or errors in any Personal Data we have about you to ensure that it is complete, accurate, and as current as possible. We may also not be able to accommodate your request if we believe it would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
  • Restrictions. You have the right to restrict our processing of your Personal Data under certain circumstances. In particular, you can request we restrict our use of it if you contest its accuracy, if the processing of your Personal Data is determined to be unlawful, or if we no longer need your Personal Data for processing but we have retained it as permitted by law.
  • Portability. To the extent the Personal Data you provide INOC is processed based on your consent, you have the right to request that we provide you a copy of, or access to, all or part of such Personal Data in structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that we transmit this Personal Data to another controller, when technically feasible.
  • Withdrawal of Consent. To the extent that our processing of your Personal Data is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by closing your account. Withdrawing your consent will not, however, affect the lawfulness of the processing based on your consent before its withdrawal, and will not affect the lawfulness of our continued processing that is based on any other lawful basis for processing your Personal Data.
  • Right to Be Forgotten. You have the right to request that we delete all of your Personal Data. We cannot delete your Personal Data except by also deleting your user account, and we will only delete your account when we no longer have a lawful basis for processing your Personal Data or after a final determination that your Personal Data was unlawfully processed. We may not accommodate a request to erase information if we believe the deletion would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect. In all other cases, we will retain your Personal Data as set forth in this policy. In addition, we cannot completely delete your Personal Data as some data may rest in previous backups. These will be retained for the periods set forth in our disaster recovery policies.
  • Complaints. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory authority in the country you live in, the country you work in, or the country where you believe your rights under applicable data protection laws have been violated. However, before doing so, we request that you contact us directly in order to give us an opportunity to work directly with you to resolve any concerns about your privacy.
  • How You May Exercise Your Rights. You may exercise any of the above rights by contacting us through any of the methods listed under Contact Information below and through the live chat feature of our Website. If you contact us to exercise any of the foregoing rights, we may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. We reserve the right to limit or deny your request if you have failed to provide sufficient information to verify your identity or to satisfy our legal and business requirements. Please note that if you make unfounded, repetitive, or excessive requests (as determined in our reasonable discretion) to access your Personal Data, you may be charged a fee subject to a maximum set by applicable law.

Do Not Track Signals

California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of Personal Data about your online activities over time. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, we do not currently respond to the browser DNT signals when you use our services and products or interact with our Website or online services.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Data from accidental loss, and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. When Personal Data is transmitted, it is protected with encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website/Client Portal, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to our Website or contracted services. Any transmission of Personal Data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

Transfers of Personal Data Outside the European Economic Area

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), in order to provide our Website, products and services to you, or otherwise interact with you, we may collect, store and process your Personal Data in the United States, which is where INOC is headquartered. The United States currently is not deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data. Accordingly, your Personal Data may be transferred outside the country where you reside or are located, including to countries that may not or do not provide an equivalent level of protection for your Personal Data.

Although the laws of the United States do not provide legal protection that is equivalent to EU data protection laws, we safeguard your Personal Data by treating it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We take appropriate steps to protect your privacy and implement reasonable security measures to protect your Personal Data in storage. We use secure transmission methods to collect Personal Data through our Website. We also enter into contracts with all recipients of your data that require them to treat Personal Data in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

When you provide Personal Data to us, we rely on your explicit consent for some of the data transfers and on the necessity for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request. We may also use standard contractual clauses specifically adopted by the European Commission to provide safeguards for personal data transferred outside of the EU/EEA.

Data Retention Periods

We will retain your Personal Data for the entire time that you keep your account open. After you close your account, we may retain your Personal Data:

  • for as long as necessary to comply with any legal requirement;
  • on our backup and disaster recovery systems in accordance with our backup and disaster recovery policies and procedures;
  • for as long as necessary to protect our legal interests or otherwise pursue our legal rights and remedies; and
  • for data that has been aggregated or otherwise rendered anonymous in such a manner that you are no longer identifiable, indefinitely.

Children Under the Age of 18

Our Website is not intended for children under 18 years of age. No one under age 18 may provide any Personal Data to or on our Website. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 18. If you are under 18, do not use or provide any information on our Website, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or user name you may use. If we learn we have collected or received Personal Data from a child under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from a child under 18, please contact us by emailing info@inoc.com.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. It is our policy to post any changes we make to our Privacy Policy on this page with a notice that the Privacy Policy has been updated on the Website’s home page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ Personal Data, we will notify you through a notice on our Website’s home page. The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically accessing our Website and reviewing this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.
