Aggregated data may be derived from the end-user’s personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal the end-user's identity.

End-users can ask us or third parties to stop sending end-users marketing messages at any time by contacting us.
Where end-users Opt-Out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us due to a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience, or other transactions.
We will only use the end-user's personal data for the purposes collected unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason, and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

We view our commitment to protecting and respecting web privacy and GDPR regulatory compliance very seriously. Below is AdaptOne’s web privacy policy regarding the nature, purpose, use, and sharing of any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) collected via our websites. Our web privacy policy explains our information practices when you provide PII to us, whether collected online or offline, or when you visit us online to browse, obtain information, conduct a transaction, or register on our customer's website(s). PII may include your name, email, mailing and home address, company, company address, phone numbers, or other information that identifies you personally. We do not require you to register or provide personal information to visit our website(s).
The PII you provide on the AdaptOne website(s) will be used only for its intended purpose. We will protect your information consistent with the principles of the Privacy Act of 1974, the E-Government Act of 2002, and the Federal Records Act.

However, not providing certain information may result in AdaptOne’s inability to provide you with the desired service. By providing us with PII on an AdaptOne website(s) through such methods as completing a web form or sending us an email, we will use that information to help us provide you with the information or service you requested or respond to your message. The information we may receive varies based on what you do when visiting our website(s).

Electronic mail messages that meet the definition of records in the Federal Records Act (44 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.) are covered under the same disposition schedule as all other federal records. This means that emails you send us will be preserved and maintained for varying periods if those emails meet the definition of federal records. Electronic messages that are not federal records are deleted when they are no longer needed.

We may have to share end-users personal information with the third parties set out below, or any other third parties notified to end-users, for the purposes set out in paragraph 3 above
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent end-users personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to end-users’ personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process end-users personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
However, the transmission of information via the Internet is never completely secure. Although we do our best to protect end-users' personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of end-user's data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at the end-user's risk. We have established procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach. We will notify end-users and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
AdaptOne takes the security of all PII data very seriously. We take precautions to maintain the security, confidentiality, and integrity of the information we collect at this site. Such measures include access controls designed to limit access to the information to the extent necessary to accomplish our mission. We also employ various security technologies to protect the information stored on our systems. We routinely test our security measures to ensure they remain operational and effective.
We take the following steps to secure the information we collect:
We hold our contractors and other third-party providers to the same high standards that we use to ensure the security, confidentiality, and integrity of personal information they may have access to during their work completed on behalf of AdaptOne.
We will only retain end-users’ personal information for as long as necessary to carry out the purpose for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of end-users' personal data, the purposes for which we process end-users' personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances, we may anonymize end-users personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with end-users) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to end-users.
End-users may be entitled to the following rights:
Our websites may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partners and affiliates. If end-users follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before end-users submit any personal data to these websites.
AdaptOne is committed to protecting children’s online privacy. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) governs information gathered online from or about children under the age of 13. Verifiable consent from a child’s parent or guardian is required before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from a child under age 13. If an AdaptOne website intends to collect information about children under 13 years old, COPPA-required information and instructions will be provided by the specific web page that contains information about the child. The web page will specify what the information will be used for, who will see it, and how long it will be kept.
The personal data we hold about end-users must be accurate and current. End-users should keep us informed if their personal data changes during their relationship with us.
Changes to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on our website. End-users should check back frequently for any updates or changes to our privacy policy.
Questions, comments, requests, and complaints regarding this privacy policy are welcomed and should be addressed to AdaptOne, LLC, 6496 Shiloh Road, Suite 310, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005, or by email to DataPrivacy@AdaptOne.com or by completing this form.
