Information Collection, Storage and Use

We refer to information that identifies an individual as “Personal Information”.

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.

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.

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.
