To facilitate our global operations, and in accordance with applicable laws, we may transfer your personal data to, and access your personal data from, our offices, subsidiaries, and affiliates in the various countries in which we operate.

Instructors and Learners may share personal information with each other and may also share other information electronically. Instructors and Learners can also share content and materials related to the services with others on social platforms, email, text, etc.

The information submitted by you to our services, including personal information, may be viewed by other users or the public. This includes video and audio recordings captured from cameras on devices you or others use during recorded sessions of our events and activities. Accordingly, we urge you to use good judgment in your sharing and participation.

Many internet connections are public and/or not secure, and other users using that same connection may have access to your information; please make sure that you are using a secure internet connection.

YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF PRIVACY OR OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM YOUR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA.

We and other users may retain and continue to use, host, display, store, cache, reproduce, publish, transmit, modify, re-format, re-arrange, distribute, and create derivative works of any of your content that you have posted to the services.

Interact With Other Users

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS. INTEBASE DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS OR BACKGROUND SCREENINGS ON ITS USERS, OR VERIFY ANY STATEMENTS MADE BY ITS USERS. INTEBASE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ANY CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENINGS (SUCH AS SEX OFFENDER REGISTER SEARCHES), AT ANY TIME AND USING AVAILABLE PUBLIC RECORDS. YOU AGREE TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IN, AND ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR, ALL INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS, PARTICULARLY IF YOU DECIDE TO COMMUNICATE OFF THE SERVICES OR MEET IN PERSON. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS, INJURY OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY INTERACTIONS WITH ANYONE ARISING FROM USE OF THE SERVICEs, OR ANY PROMOTIONAL OR MARKETING INFORMATION PROVIDED BY INTEBASE.

Data Security

We have implemented reasonable measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We use rigorous data security software to protect the confidentiality of your Personal Information. Your personal information is protected in several ways with firewalls, data encryption, physical security for our buildings, files and information contained therein and current industry standards. Such measures have been implemented considering the state of the art of the technology, their cost of implementation, the risks presented by the processing and the nature of the personal data. When we provide your personal data to third parties, including service providers, we require those companies to protect the personal data they receive and not to use the personal data for any purpose other than providing the required services. In addition, our business practices are reviewed periodically for compliance with policies and procedures governing the security and confidentiality of our information. 

Nevertheless, although we have tried to make our products and services secure and reliable, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from us cannot be guaranteed. We therefore urge you to exercise caution when conveying any personal data over the Internet. As when disclosing any information on the Internet, you should remain mindful that such information might be accessible by the public and, consequently, may be collected and used by others without your consent. You should also recognize that your use of the Internet and any other means of communication with us is solely at your own risk.

Information Retention

Our retention periods for personal information are based on our needs and legal requirements. We retain personal information for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the data was collected, and any other permissible, related purpose. When we no longer need the personal information we collect, we either anonymize the information (in which case, we may further retain and use the anonymized information) or securely destroy the information, unless required by the applicable law to retain the information for a specific retention period.

Third-Party Providers

Some content or applications, including advertisements, on our Website, products and/or services are served by third-parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Website. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

Consent

By providing us with personal information you consent to our sharing, collecting, and disclosing of the provided information. Your express consent comes in the form of your direct communication of approval. An example of express consent could stem from a written communication from you to InteBase authorizing our sharing, collection, and disclosure of your provided information. Your implied consent comes in the form of your non-verbal conduct that indicates approval. An example of implied consent could stem from your decision to enter your personal information into one of our online forms in order to receive our services. Your lack of notice with regard to consent will be construed as an authorization for InteBase to share, collect, and disclose your provided information. You may revoke your consent to disclose this information, but this may cause difficulties for InteBase in providing you with our business.
