Information Collection, Storage and Use

We refer to information that identifies an individual as “Personal Information”. In general, Criterium collects Personal Information from users of the Criterium site in connection with access to certain online areas or services, including during (i) registration for certain online community services and tools such as message boards, chat rooms or other community services; (ii) registration for special communications, such as email updates and newsletters; (iii) subscription registration; and (iv) user surveys. Your Personal Information is stored on Criterium computer servers (or those of its service providers) located in the United States. We are GDPR compliant.

We may gather data about the areas of the Criterium site you visit or access. We do not use any of this navigational data about where you, as an individual user, go on Criterium site or share any of this data with third parties. However, we do use and share navigational data in aggregate, non-personal form to understand how our users as a group use the Criterium site.

Below are more details about the Personal Information we, or third parties may gather from you and how we may use it.

A. Email Newsletters. Criterium offers email newsletters to its registered users. We will use your email address to send you only the specific newsletter(s) that you signed up for. If you want to update your email address or stop receiving a newsletter, follow the procedures to unsubscribe at the bottom of any newsletter we send you.

B. Surveys and User Research. Criterium conducts email and web-delivered surveys from time to time, to gather information about our users and sites. Taking these surveys and polls is entirely optional. You have no obligation to respond to them. We share only the aggregate results of these surveys, not Personal Information, with our partners to help them better understand our services and monitor the reach of our webpage.

C. Use of Cookies. On the Internet, a “cookie” is a piece of information (a file) that a Web site transfers to a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is common on the Internet. The process we use track use of the Criterium site involves cookies. Cookies also enable us to measure aggregate (total) usage and traffic to the Criterium site and to specific offerings. This aids us in producing content that best meets our users’ preferences. In order to implement new services, we may use other types of cookies as well. We also may use cookies to understand better what parts of the Criterium site you like best. You may configure your browser to reject cookies, but this may interfere with some functionality of the Criterium site.

D. Legal Authorities. We may also disclose Personal Information in cases when we reasonably believe that it is necessary to identify someone who may be violating Criterium policies or Criterium site “User Agreements” or other terms of use, or who may be a threat to Criterium rights, property, or personal safety. The Criterium site may disclose Personal Information to comply with valid legal process such as a duly issued search warrant, subpoena or court order.

Your Personal Information is stored on Criterium computer servers located in the United States. We protect your Personal Information with technical, administrative and physical safeguards to protect against loss, unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification and improper disclosure.

But Criterium is committed to providing reasonable and appropriate security controls to protect our Criterium site and all Personal Information against foreseeable hazards.

Notwithstanding these security measures, please be aware that when you submit Personal Information to the Criterium site over the Internet, the information may travel over many systems that are not under the Criterium’s control.
