ChipFlow Privacy Policy

ChipFlow Ltd. (“ChipFlow”, “we”, “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This ChipFlow Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how we collect and use information that customers provide to us in connection with the creation or administration of ChipFlow accounts, which we refer to as “Account Information”, and it describes our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. (Unless they are otherwise defined here, capitalized terms are defined in the Customer Agreement.)

User Consent

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your Account Information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use the ChipFlow Site (our “Website”) or Services. By accessing or using our Website or Services, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy). Your continued use of this Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

What is covered by this Privacy Policy

ChipFlow collects Account Information and Anonymous Data from you. 

“Account Information” means information about you that you provide to us in connection with the creation or administration of your ChipFlow account. For example, Account Information includes names, usernames, phone numbers, email addresses, and billing information associated with your ChipFlow account.  Account information also includes personal information of your End Users.

“Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Account Information and which therefore does not identify you whether by itself or when combined with any other data held by us or other third parties as relevant, such as information about a user’s IT environment, the IP address of that computer or device, the webpages visited, what content you view, and how often you come to our Websites. Anonymous Data does not permit the identification of individual persons.

This ChipFlow Privacy Policy does not apply to the Content that customers store on our system.  “Content” means software (including machine images), data, text, audio, video, or images. ChipFlow will not disclose, move, access, or use customer Content except as provided in the ChipFlow Customer Agreement. Refer to the ChipFlow Customer Agreement and Service Terms for more information about how we handle Content you store on our systems.

Transfer of Personal Data to Other Countries

Your Account Information may be processed in the country in which it was collected and in other countries, including the United States, where laws regarding processing of personal data may be less stringent than the laws in your country. Personal data collected within the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) may be transferred to countries outside the EEA; however, we will take steps to ensure that your personal information will be afforded the level of protection required of us under applicable data protection legislation and this policy.

Account Information You Provide to Us

We may collect Account Information from you, such as your first name, last name, email address, mailing address, phone number, professional title and company name, when you complete a registration form or other marketing form on our Websites. If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail (e.g., in response to an employment opportunity posted on our website), we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, in order to send you a reply, and any information that you submit to us, such as a resume. For any Websites requiring an account, we will collect user names and passwords. When you participate in one of our surveys, we may collect additional profile information such as your name, location, your company and details regarding your use or opinions of our Services. We may also collect personal data from you via our Services, or at other points in our Websites. Personal data collected online may be supplemented with information you provide to ChipFlow through other ChipFlow Services, as well as other sources such as trade shows or seminars.

Personal Data and Anonymous Data Collected via Cookies and other Technology

Our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect Account Information from you, and Anonymous Data from your computer or device, including browser type, Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, or a date/time stamp for your visit. We may also use third party tracking services via the use of Cookies, such as Google Analytics and Eloqua, to track and analyze such anonymous information from users of our websites and Services, and such third parties may use Cookies to help track user behavior. “Cookies” are small text files that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive or flash drive while you are viewing a web site. We also use Cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the solutions and information for which you searched and which you viewed. Like most Internet services, we automatically gather this data and store it in log files each time you visit our website or access your account on our network. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our website. If you do not wish to receive Cookies, or want to be notified of when they are placed, your browser may permit you to do so. In many browsers, you can change the browser settings to warn you before accepting cookies or to block cookies. If you choose to disable or block Cookies, you may not be able to use certain website features or functions, or the websites may not operate in an optimal mode. Your use of the website indicates and constitutes your acceptance of the cookies referenced in this policy.

In general, the Account Information you submit to us is used either to respond to requests that you make, or to aid us in serving you better. ChipFlow uses your Account Information and Anonymous Data in the following ways:

We use this data to analyze request and usage patterns so that we may enhance the content of our Websites and improve site navigation. ChipFlow reserves the right to use and disclose Anonymous Data to our trusted third party companies for those purposes.

If you provide feedback on any of our Websites or Services to us, we may use your feedback for any purpose, provided we will not associate that feedback with your Personal Data.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

We may share some of your Account Information with our parent company, or any subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with us (collectively, “Affiliates”), now or in the future, to facilitate the provision of our Services to you, in which case we will require our Affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. If another company acquires all or substantially all of ChipFlow’s equity or our assets, including by way of merger or bankruptcy proceedings, that company will possess the Account Information collected by it and us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Account Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Regardless of any choices you make regarding your Account Information, ChipFlow may disclose your personal data if it believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with applicable law; or (b) protect or defend the rights or property of ChipFlow or its users.

Our provision of a link to any other website or location or of embedded media from third party sites such as YouTube is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of that website or location or its contents. When you click on such a link, you will leave our site and go to another site. During this process, another entity may collect data from you, including through the use of Cookies. We have no control over and cannot be responsible for these outside websites or their content.
