By using the Sites or submitting any Personal Information to Semnet, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Statement and the Semnet Terms of Use.
DATA SEMNET COLLECTS
Semnet collects data to provide customers with products and services, and to operate Semnet’s business. Some of this data is provided directly, such as when you create a Semnet account, connect a Semnet device to the Internet or a Cloud service, provide equipment for maintenance, or contact Semnet for support or to perform other services. Semnet receives some data by recording how users interact with Semnet products and services by, for example, using technologies like Cookies, receiving error reports, usage data or location data from software running on Semnet products or from utilizing Semnet services.
The data Semnet collects depends on the products, services and features used, and can include the following:
Name and contact data. Information, including Personal Information, collected through the Sites or through other means, may include name and salutation, job title, physical address, time zone, telephone number (including work or home office, mobile, and fax numbers), photograph, e-mail address, and other contact information. Semnet also collects marketing contacts and preferences (phone, email, postal mail, fax, and text messages), name and nature of your business, language preference, and delivery and fulfillment information.
Semnet collects information used for authentication and account access.
Payment data. Semnet or its payment processor collects data necessary to process payments for purchases from Semnet, such as credit/debit card information, bank information, wire transfer and/or any other financial or payment information associated with a payment.
Usage data. Semnet collects data about how users and devices interact with Semnet products and services. For example, Semnet collects:
Product use data. Semnet collects product feature use data, website activity data, performance data, product preference information, purchase history, and the webpages you visit.
Device data.
Semnet may collect data about a device, its operational state, configuration, past usage data, device performance data, and information on the network used to connect and use Semnet products. This includes data about the operating systems, applications and other software installed on the device, including product keys. This also includes Internet Protocol (IP) address, network authentication, MAC address, other device identifiers, regional and language settings.
Error reports and performance data.
Semnet collects data about the performance of Semnet products and problems experienced. This data helps diagnose problems in the products to improve Semnet’s products, and to provide solutions. Depending on product and settings, error reports may include data such as the type or severity of the problem, details of the software or hardware related to an error, device status, usage data, contents of data or files that were processing when an error occurred, and data about other devices, networks, or software with which the device interacts.
Support data. When Semnet is engaged for support, Semnet’s contact with any data or information stored on a device will be incidental in most instances. Devices returned to Semnet for repair should be wiped of all data. Semnet will collect data about any hardware, software, and other details related to the support incident for the purpose of tracking device performance and product improvement.
Location data. Semnet may collect data about your location, which can be either precise or imprecise. Precise location data can be Global Position System (GPS) data, as well as data identifying nearby cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots Semnet collects when location-based products or features are enabled.
