Cobit Privacy Policy

When you use Cobit services, you trust us with your information. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. Please take the time to read this Privacy Policy.

Our Privacy Policy explains:

- What information we collect and why we collect it.

- How we use that information.

- The choices we offer, including how to access and update information.

As you use our services, we want you to know how we use any information that you share with us. We also want to tell you about the ways in which you can protect your privacy.

There are many ways in which you can use our services - to find information about Cobit, to apply for a job, or to share information about us with other people.

We have tried to keep it as simple as possible, but if you are not familiar with terms such as cookies, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, pixel tags, and browsers, then read about these definitions first.

Your privacy matters to Cobit. Please take the time to get to know our practices - and if you have any questions, then please contact us .

We collect information to help us offer better services to our users - from figuring out basic stuff such as your language preference, to more complex things such as the service or the job post that you will find the most useful. We collect information in the following ways:

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We, including our partners, may use various technologies to collect and store information when you use Cobit services - these technologies may include cookies or other similar technologies to identify your browser or your device. We also use these technologies to collect and store information when you interact with advertisements that we promote on the platforms of our partners. We use this data to analyze the traffic to our websites and the traffic to the websites and apps of our partners.

Any information that we collect when you use our services, in addition to the information that we obtain about you from our partners, may be linked to you.

How We Use Information We Collect

We use any information that we collect to provide, maintain, protect and improve our services - we may also collect such information to:

- Develop new services;

- Protect Cobit and our users; and

- Offer you tailored content.

We may use the information that you provide Cobit across all the services that we offer. For example, when you contact Cobit, we keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements.

We also use information from cookies and other technologies such as pixel tags , to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services. For example, by saving your language preferences, we will be able to have our services appear in the language that you prefer. When we show you tailored content, we do not associate an identifier from cookies or similar technologies with sensitive categories such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or health.

We may join personal information from one service with information, including personal information, from other Cobit services - for example, to make it easier to share things with people you know. Your activity on other sites and apps may be associated with your personal information to improve Cobit-s services.

We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Privacy Policy.

Cobit processes personal information on our servers in many countries around the world. We may process your personal information on a server, outside the country where you live.

Transparency and Choice

People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect. We hope to help you make meaningful choices about how your information is used. For example, you may set your browser to block all cookies, including cookies associated with our services, or to show you when we set a cookie.

However, it is important to remember that many of our services may not work if your cookies are disabled. For example, we may not remember your language preferences.

Information You Share

Many of our services let you share information with others. Remember that when you share information publicly, it may be indexed by search engines.

Accessing and Updating Your Personal Information

We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. If we can offer information access and correction, then we will do so for free, except if doing would require a disproportionate effort.

We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, develop a new system or fundamentally change an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests about information on backup systems).

Information We Share

We do not share personal information with companies, organizations, and individuals outside Cobit unless one of the following circumstances applies:

- With Your Consent

We will share personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside Cobit when we have your consent to do so. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information .

- For External Processing

We provide personal information to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or people to process such information for us - we do so on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

- For Legal Reasons

We will share personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside Cobit if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is necessary to:

- Meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.

- Enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations.

- Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues.

- Protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of Cobit, our users or the public as required or allowed by law.

We may share non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners, including publishers, advertisers, or other connected sites.

If Cobit is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, then we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and give affected users notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Information Security

We work hard to protect Cobit and our users from unauthorized access, change, disclosure, or destruction of information that we hold. For example:

- We encrypt many of our services using SSL.

- We review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems.

- We restrict access to personal information to Cobit employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information to process it for us, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.

When This Privacy Policy Applies

Our Privacy Policy applies to all the services offered by Cobit LLC and its affiliates, including Cobit.com and P.careers (Cobit.careers ), but excludes services that have separate privacy policies that do not include this Privacy Policy.

Our Privacy Policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including sites that may use Cobit services or other sites linked from our services. Our Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of other companies and organizations who advertise our services, and who may use cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to serve and offer relevant ads.

Compliance and Cooperation with Regulatory Authorities

We regularly review our compliance with our Privacy Policy. If we receive a written complaint, then we may contact the person who made the complaint to resolve the complaint.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page - if the changes are significant, then we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notices of privacy policy changes). We archive all superseded versions of this Privacy Policy here for your review.
