PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: May 15, 2018

We Respect Your Privacy

This Privacy Policy describes how we may process your personal data when you visit our website at paragonpr.com (the “Website”). Other or additional privacy policies or statements may apply when you use or access our other websites or other sections of or pages on this Website, or when you purchase, subscribe or participate in our products or services.

In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and those other privacy policies or statements, those other privacy policies or statements will prevail to the extent of that conflict or inconsistency in relation to your use of or access to the other websites or other sections of or pages on this Website, or your purchase, subscription or participation in the relevant products or services, as applicable.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we process your personal data. If you do not agree with the practices and procedures described in this Privacy Policy, please discontinue using the Website.

In the course of serving you as an individual or as someone associated with a corporation or institution, Paragon Public Relations, LLC (“we”, “our”, “us” or “Paragon”) may collect, hold, use and disclose (‘process’) information about individuals which may constitute personal data.

We will only use the information that we collect about you lawfully in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The most common way to provide this information is via a Privacy Policy.

The first principle of data protection is that personal data must be processed fairly and lawfully. The DPA says that in order for the processing to be fair, the data controller (the organization in control of processing the data) has to make certain information available to the data subjects (the individuals whom the data relates to), so far as practicable:

Who Are We?

The controller of the data of this website is Paragon Public Relations LLC, a company registered in New Jersey, United States. The registered office of the Company is 1 Newark Street, Suite 20A, Hoboken, NJ 07030, United States of America.

The GDPR requires that the information we provide regarding how we capture personal data must be: concise, transparent, intelligible, easily accessible, written in clear and plain language, particularly if addressed to a child and free of charge.

In that vein, we will attempt to be as clear, concise and as easily understood as possible about how we collect, use and store your data.

What Personal Data Do We Collect?

We collect the following types of personal data about you:

Voluntarily Provided Personal Data

  • If you contact us via the Website, we will collect the information that you provide when you do so, such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, firm name, firm type, and any information included in your message to us.

Automatically Collected Personal Data

  • As you navigate through and interact with the Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns, including, without limitation, details of your visits to the Website (such as traffic data, location data, logs and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Website), information about your computer and internet connection (such as your IP address, operating system and browser type) and other information obtained through third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics.

Of course, you are not required to supply any of the personal data that we may request. However, failure to supply any of the personal data that we may request may result in our being unable to fulfill or respond to your relevant request. To help us ensure that all information we hold about you is accurate, complete and up to date, you should promptly notify us if there are any changes to your personal data. We shall not be responsible for the authenticity of any personal data or any losses arising from any inaccurate or deficient personal data that you supply to us.

What Are the Purposes for Which We Use Your Personal Data?

We may process your personal data that we have collected as follows:

  • To fulfill the request for which you provided the data and for other reasons related purposes we determine are appropriate. For example, if you have requested information from us, we may process the personal data you provided to respond to you with the information requested.
  • To contact you about other services and products we offer unless you have opted out of receiving such communications.
  • To exercise or defend our legal rights, or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and requests anywhere in the world.
  • As otherwise permitted under any applicable law or regulation or if you have provided us with prior consent.

When Do We Disclose Personal Data We Collect About You?

To our third-party service providers, suppliers, content and other providers or contractors for the processing of that data solely for our benefit in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

To third parties to whom we assign or novate our rights or obligations.

To a prospective seller or buyer in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets or if all or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data will be one of the transferred assets.

To regulatory or enforcement bodies or courts anywhere in the world as required by applicable law or regulations anywhere in the world or at their request.
