2. Types of Personal Data Collected and Use of Such Personal Data

Cartesian FinOp Partners may collect certain categories of data about you when you use our websites; use our services; receive our marketing communications; interact with us; and in other contexts. The data we currently collect, or may collect in the future, can be broadly categorized as follows:

  • Personal Data: This is individually identifiable data that you may choose to provide us. This may include basic information such as your email address and phone number, or more sensitive information such as your full date of birth or your payment information.
  • User Data: This is data that we may collect from users of our services. User data could include personal data such as a unique user ID or account username and password, but sometimes this user data is anonymous or “pseudonymous,” i.e., certain user data that could be made identifiable if associated with personal data.
  • Location Data: This is data we collect that helps us determine a location based on your IP address in order to customize our services and for other uses consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Cartesian FinOp Partners has various uses for your personal and user data you provide to us. Here are the principal contexts in which we may use, retain, and share your personal and user data:

  • Websites and Account Management: Most often, you may browse our websites without providing any personal data to us. However, if you choose to establish a user account with Cartesian FinOp Partners, engage in e-commerce, sign up for marketing communications, or interact with our customer service teams or participate in a forum on our website, we will likely need to collect some personal or user data from you. In addition, our web servers automatically collect certain data by default, such as IP addresses and other activity logs. This type of data is used for website security and site improvement purposes. Much of that data is not readily identifiable and is usually kept anonymous. In order to maintain and improve our websites, Cartesian FinOp Partners currently uses, or may in the future use, third-party hosting, content management, and security partners, vendors, and suppliers.
  • Sales: If you decide to purchase a service from Cartesian FinOp Partners, we will need to collect certain personal data from you, including payment-related information. Typically, we use third-party partners, vendors, and suppliers, such as payment processing companies during our sales.
  • Marketing & Social Media: You may choose to receive Cartesian FinOp Partners marketing communications, participate in an event/contest/promotion with us, or connect with Cartesian FinOp Partners via social media. If you do so, we will collect certain personal data about you, such as your contact information, social media profile information and, in order to determine your eligibility for a contest or promotion, your full or partial dates of birth. Cartesian FinOp Partners may share your personal data with our marketing agencies and partners to carry out our marketing campaigns, contests, and promotions. If you wish to unsubscribe from our marketing, please follow the opt-out link in the communications you receive from us; update your contact preferences in your Cartesian FinOp Partners account settings, if applicable; or email us at info@cartesian.com.
  • Product Registration: If you use Cartesian FinOp Partners services, you may choose to establish a Cartesian FinOp Partners user account, if applicable. A Cartesian FinOp Partners user account profile may include your username, password, settings, preferences, contact information, device ID information, and related data. Cartesian FinOp Partners may share this information with other Cartesian FinOp Partners subsidiaries, affiliates, vendors, and suppliers, such as third-party hosting partners. Certain Cartesian FinOp Partners product settings, preference information, applications history, and location-based information may be used by Cartesian FinOp Partners product development and improvement and customer service teams if you choose to enable enhanced customer support services.
  • Customer Service & Support: If you choose to interact with Cartesian FinOp Partners customer service and support – whether it be via our website, social media, chat, email, or phone – Cartesian FinOp Partners customer service teams (some of whom work for outsourced vendors and suppliers of Cartesian FinOp Partners) may have access to your account information, product information, contact information, and payment information. You may also be required to answer certain security questions to verify your identity and your call or session with Cartesian FinOp Partners customer support may be recorded for quality and training purposes.
  • Job Opportunities: You may choose to apply for employment opportunities at Cartesian FinOp Partners through Cartesian FinOp Partners' website. If you complete an application for a job at Cartesian FinOp Partners, we may collect your contact information, job history info, and certain other information that may be required or allowed under applicable laws to screen candidates for employment.
