COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Introduction
You may choose to give us personal information directly in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us your name and contact information to communicate with you, to process an order, to register for a service, to provide you with a subscription, or to do business with us if you are a supplier or
a business partner.
If you tell us that you do not want us to use your information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your request, we will respect your wishes.
Registration
When you wish to receive information, download publications, enroll for a live or virtual event or request a trial, we may ask you to provide your name and business contact information, as well as other information in connection with your request. We use this information in connection with your request and to communicate with you.
This information may, in most cases, also identify you when you visit our websites. We will retain your information for potential future interactions with you.
We may also ask you to register an NEAR.PORT id, in which case you need to provide us with your name, email address, country location and other information if needed for the purpose for which you are asked to register. The NEAR.PORT id serves to uniquely identify you when you visit our websites, have a request
or order or use a product or service.
For ordering of most services, we require you to have registered an NEAR.PORT ID. Registration with NEAR.PORT ID may allow you to customize and control your privacy settings. Certain NEAR.PORT services may require unique registration, specifically for the purpose of providing these services.
In such cases, registration details provided by you for a service will only be used for the specific purpose of providing you with that service.

Most information we collect about you comes from our direct interactions with you.
From time to time, we may also collect information that pertains to you indirectly through other sources, such as list vendors. When we do so, we ask the vendors to confirm that the information was legally acquired by the third party and that we have the right to obtain it from them and use it.
When you register for an event we may collect additional information (online or offline) in relation to the event organization, and during an event, such as participation in sessions and survey results. Events may be recorded and group photos taken.
We reserve the right to use photos for promotional use. When you provide us with your business contact information (such as by handing over a business card) we may use this to communicate with you.

COOKIES, WEB BEACON AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
As mentioned above, we collect information from your visits to our websites and your use of our NEAR.PORT services and our software products to help us gather statistics about usage and effectiveness, personalize your experience, tailor our interactions with you, and improve our products and services. We
do so through the use of various technologies, including scripts, tags, Local Shared Objects (Flash cookies), Local Storage (HTML5) beacons, and “cookies”.
What are cookies and why are cookies used
A cookie is a piece of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as a tag that identifies your computer.
While cookies are often only used to measure website usage (such as number of visitors and duration of visit) and effectiveness (such as topics visitors are most interested in) and to allow for ease of navigation or use and, as such, are not associated with any personal information, they are also used at times to
personalize a known visitor’s experience of a website by being associated with profile information or user preferences.
Over time this information provides valuable insight to help improve the user experience.
Cookies are typically categorized as “session” cookies or “persistent” cookies. Session cookies help you navigate through the website efficiently, keeping track of your progression from page to page so that you are not asked for information you have already provided during the current visit, or information needed to be able to complete a transaction. Session cookies are stored in temporary memory and erased when the web browser is closed.
Persistent cookies on the other hand, store user preferences for current and successive visits. They are written on your device’s hard disk, and are still valid when you restart your browser. We use persistent cookies, for example, to record your choice of language and country location.
How to express privacy preferences regarding the use of cookies
When visiting our websites or online services, you may have the possibility to set your preferences regarding cookies and other similar technologies by using the options and tools made available to you by either your web browser or NEAR.PORT. If a cookie manager has been implemented by NEAR.PORT, it will be displayed at your first visit to our website.
By clicking ‘cookie preferences’ at the footer of an NEAR.PORT website you can choose and change at any time which types of cookies you would like our websites and NEAR.PORT services to use. You can indicate your preference for required, required and functional or required, functional and personalization cookies.
Here you can also find more information on the types of cookies used. Using the cookie preferences does not result in deletion of cookies that are already on your device.
You can delete cookies already on your device via the settings of your web browser.
While NEAR.PORT websites, online and services at this time do not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, such as “do not track” instructions, you can generally express your privacy preferences regarding the use of most cookies and similar technologies through your web browser.
Look under the heading “Tools” (or similar heading) in your particular browser for information about controlling cookies. In most instances you can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the option to decide whether to accept it or not. You can also generally set your browser to turn off cookies.
Cookies in our software products can be turned off in the product itself. Since cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our websites’ features or features of our services, we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you block, turn off or otherwise reject our cookies, some web pages may not display properly or you will not be able to, for instance, use any website or services that require you to sign in.
Web beacons or other technologies
Some NEAR.PORT websites, services and software products may also use web beacons or other technologies to better tailor those sites to provide better customer service. These technologies may be in use on a number of pages across NEAR.PORT’s websites.
When a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our suppliers. These web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you don’t want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages or use of these products, you can set your browser to turn off cookies or turn off cookies in the product itself, respectively. If you turn off cookies, web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages; however, they will not be associated with information otherwise stored in cookies.
For more information about the technologies employed by our services, including how to turn them off, please consult the user guide for the particular services you are using.
We use Local Shared Objects, such as Flash cookies, and Local Storage, such as HTML5, to store content information and preferences. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our website or to display NEAR.PORT advertising on others’ websites based upon your web browsing activity also use Flash cookies or HTML5 to collect and store information.
We may also include web beacons in marketing e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and links contained within clicked on.
Some of our business partners set web beacons and cookies on our site.
In addition, third-party social media buttons may log certain information such as your IP address, browser type and language, access time, and referring website addresses, and, if you are logged in to those social media sites, they may also link such collected information with your profile information on that site. We do not control these third party tracking technologies.
LINKS TO NON-NEAR.PORT WEBSITES AND THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS
To allow you to interact with other websites on which you may have accounts (such as Facebook and other social media sites) or join communities on such sites, we may provide links or embed third-party applications that allow you to login, post content or join communities from our websites. We may also provide you with general links to non-NEAR.PORT websites.
