It describes how Codec Networks (referred to here as "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses and discloses personally identifiable information provided by users (referred to here as "you" or "your") through our website.

Codec Networks is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We share your concern for the protection of personal information and will use our best efforts to ensure that the information you submit to us remains private and is used only for the purposes specified. We want to provide our users with a safe, secure experience on our website.

Codec Networks is a private firm providing security assessment and solutions, training and consultation to corporate clients and educational institutions. All our offices, in the countries we operate from, make every effort to comply with the data protection legislation and the stringent data protection codes of conduct of that country, and we request our clients to respect the same safeguards.

We request our users to read this privacy policy very carefully. By using this website and/or submitting any of your personal information, you signify your agreement to the terms and conditions of this policy, as well as our Terms & Conditions.

We do not wish to collect any "sensitive" personal information from our users unless it is legally required for the services or training we provide.

We may receive your personally identifiable information from our worldwide affiliates, subsidiaries or any other registered members to whom you have chosen to reveal your email address, so that we can improve our services to you.

We may contact individuals from time to time to solicit names or any other information regarding potential business in connection with a service that we are conducting.

To fulfil your request for certain services, products or information, we may verify your authority to enter certain password-protected areas of the website.

In order to present you as a potential client, we may share your personal information with our vendors and/or transfer it between our worldwide affiliates and subsidiaries.

Codec Networks reserves the right to disclose your personal information to our prospective clients for business or service-related purposes or in connection with matters relating to your use of our website. We shall not be responsible for any prospective client's or third party's use of your personal information, and that use is not necessarily subject to this policy.

Your personal information is used only for the purposes stated at the time of collection. We do not sell or share your personal information for related or unrelated purposes with non-licensee third parties, unless otherwise stated at the time of collection or required by law.

We disclose personal information to our clients and third-party subcontractors only to the extent that they also maintain reasonable security and confidentiality measures and use the personal information in accordance with our instructions and with applicable law.

We will not process your personal information in a way that is incompatible with what is outlined in this privacy policy. However, due to the nature of Internet technologies, security and privacy risks cannot be eliminated entirely, and we cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this policy.

If you are not confident in our security measures, you are requested not to use our website for any services at all.
