TESSERE cares about online security and privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to protect the information we collect, use or disclose. Please read it in its entirety before using the site. Since we may change this policy from time to time without notice, we encourage you to read it each time you visit the site. Your use of the site communicates agreement to the terms of the Privacy Policy in effect at that time.
Data Collection/Use
Following common online practice, we collect demographic and profile data information at our site. We use it to analyze visitor information in aggregate – that is, we review and analyze large quantities of site visits as a whole, looking for trends about pages viewed, time on site, time of day, that sort of thing.
Except for the information you voluntarily provide, we do not actively collect your personal information. We will not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties. While on our site, you may submit information by filling out one or more forms regarding our services, or by submitting such personal information as a name and contact information for a job application or new business inquiry. You may also voluntarily subscribe to receive our enews, thought leadership and updates via email.
The personally identifiable information we collect may be shared within our office to other team members in order to follow up with you or better serve you. This data may be accessible by our webmaster or hosting service provider for use related to the site. We may under certain circumstances permitted or required by law, collect, use, and/or disclose personal information pursuant to procedures that do not require notice to you.
Third-party Sites
Third-party websites available through links on our site have separate privacy and data collection practices. We have no responsibility or liability for these third-party policies or actions. Please refer to the privacy statement of any applicable third party site when providing personally identifiable information.
Information Security
We strive to protect the security of your personal information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. Your data is kept in a highly secure environment protected from access by unauthorized parties. We take all commercially reasonable steps to prevent data theft; however, we cannot guarantee that any electronic commerce is totally secure. We require our employees, agents, and others who may have access to or acquire personal information from us, including those engaged in support services, to adopt and comply with the principles and objectives of this Privacy Policy. We also align our human resource processes, policies, practices and guidelines (for information that is collected or used relating to former, current, or prospective employees) to comply with this Privacy Policy.
