The amount and type of information that you provide will depend on the nature of the interaction. If you wish to receive additional information about ADAAPT as a company or about its products or services we may ask you to provide information tailored to facilitate these requests including: your name and email address, organization name and reason for inquiry. The contact form also has an optional field if you would like to provide additional information. This information is not made public. You are free to leave the contact form blank.

We will inform you of the implications of so withdrawing your consent to such collection, use and disclosure.
2. Information we receive from passive use of our website
ADAAPT also collects information about your use of our website through technology such as cookies and web beacons. A “cookie” is a unique numeric code we transfer to your computer, so we can keep track of your preferences and recognize you as a return visitor to our Site. A “web beacon” is a piece of code on our website enabling us to monitor things like user activity and site traffic. Cookies allow ADAAPT to collect “clickstream” data, which reflects your activities on the website. Cookies do not collect or keep your name or personal information other than the numeric identifier described above. We use the information we collect through the use of cookie technology for business purposes, including operation of the website, such as monitoring traffic, as well as research and product analyses. Before collecting cookie information from your computer, our website will prompt you to either accept or decline the use of cookies. Please note, however, that if you do not accept the use of cookies, certain elements of the website may not work properly.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We may use your personal information:
• To communicate with you about our company, products or services.
• To improve our products or services, including our website.
• To maintain and administer our website.
• To evaluate the quality of our products and services.
• To comply with our legal, regulatory, compliance or auditing obligations.
We will only collect and use personal information that you choose to give us, that is necessary for our legitimate business purposes, that is required by law or regulation or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
We will retain your personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes for which it was collected.
HOW AND WHY WE MIGHT SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
ADAAPT will not disclose your personal information without your consent to do so, except:
• To carry out the purposes for which you have provided it to us;
• In the context of a sale, amalgamation, re-organization, transfer or financing of parts or some or of ADAAPT’s business; or

We do not permit third-party advertisers to display their advertisements on our website.
TRANSFERRING INFORMATION
Under some circumstances, we may need to transfer personal information from one jurisdiction to another, including to jurisdictions where the laws provide different protection than the jurisdiction from which the information was derived.

TECHNICAL, PHYSICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SECURITY
We have implemented commercially reasonable security safeguards to protect your personal information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. Methods of protection include: physical measures (e.g., locked filing cabinets and restricted access to offices); organizational measures (e.g., security clearances and limiting access on a “need-to-know” basis); and technological measures (e.g., the use of complex passwords and encryption of data at rest and in transit).
