We may access, preserve, and disclose your Personal Data, other account information, and content if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: (i) comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal processes, such as a court order or subpoena; (ii) respond to your requests; (iii) protect yours’, ours’ or others’ rights, property, or safety; (iv) to enforce KosmosCentral policies or contracts; (v) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity; or (vi) if we, in good faith, believe that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable. In addition, from time to time, server logs may be reviewed for security purposes – e.g., to detect unauthorized activity on the Services. In such cases, server log data containing IP addresses may be shared with law enforcement bodies in order that they may identify users in connection with their investigation of the unauthorized activities.

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract. In such event, KosmosCentral will endeavor to direct the transferee to use Personal Data in a manner that is consistent with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such Personal Data was collected.

Supplemental Privacy Provisions for Residents of the EEA and Switzerland

In 2018, the European Union published European Union Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of Personal Data and on the free movement of such data, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires us as a data controller of the Site and related Services to provide additional and/or different information about our data processing practices to data subjects resident in the European Economic Area (EEA). Switzerland has similar provisions.

Cookies

With respect to web cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary for our provision of the Site and Services, KosmosCentral seeks consent from users of the Service in the EEA based on a separate Cookie Policy.

Legal Basis of Processing

  • Contractual Basis for non-HR Data: The legal basis for KosmosCentral’s processing of your Personal Data in connection with most of the personal information we gather on the Site, and the Services we provide, is the “contractual basis” set forth in Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which allows processing of Personal Data as necessary for the performance of a contract. We are a computer software publisher, providing our Platform-as-a-Service software and related Services. Most of the Personal Data we gather is strictly for pre-sales and sales-based contractual purposes so that we can provide our computer software to our customers, and provide upgrades and support as required. When you access, use or establish an account on the Site, the overwhelming objective is to facilitate a software-related transaction, and we need to process your Personal Data to respond to your requests, provide our software and Services and satisfy our obligations with respect to the other purposes listed in the Privacy Policy above.
  • Contractual and Legal Basis for HR Data: The collection of Personal Data for HR purposes from employees outside of the United States, including those in the United Kingdom, is necessary on various bases or grounds, such as in fulfillment of the employment contract between employee and employer, and there are also legal requirements to preserve employee records.
  • Legitimate Interests for Non-HR Data: When we collect minimal Personal Data from you so that you can establish an account on the Site and we can communicate with you, or enable you to register for events via the Site, or in situations where KosmosCentral needs to process your Personal Data to comply with applicable laws (as a U.S.-based company, KosmosCentral is subject to U.S. laws and must comply with them), or to provide good customer support services, we rely on the “legitimate interests” basis for such Personal Data processing under Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, and with respect to support services, usually a contractual basis as well. In these cases, we will ensure that your privacy and other fundamental interests do not override our legitimate interests.
  • Legitimate Interests for HR Data: The collection of Personal Data for HR purposes from employees in the United Kingdom and generally is also to fulfill legal obligations such as tax and social welfare requirements regarding employees, and is a legitimate interest and also of KosmosCentral, the data controller, and in many instances necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
  • Consent: KosmosCentral relies on your opt-in consent with respect to cookies that are not strictly necessary and for any direct marketing emails or purely promotional use of your Personal Data, per Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; we have taken steps to meet obligations under GDPR.

Although KosmosCentral makes good faith efforts to provide Individuals with access to their Personal Data, there may be circumstances in which KosmosCentral is unable to provide access, including but not limited to: where the information contains legal privilege, would compromise others’ privacy or other legitimate rights, where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the Individual’s privacy in the case in question or where it is commercially proprietary. If KosmosCentral determines that access should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries. To protect your privacy, KosmosCentral will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to or making any changes to your Personal Data.

Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy Statement explains how KosmosCentral uses cookies and other tracking technologies. It explains what these technologies are, the purposes for which they are used, and your rights to control usage of them.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small software file stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.

Cookies set by the Site owner (KosmosCentral) are referred to as “first party” cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the Site owner (but with the owner’s permission) are called “third party” cookies. These cookies are generally associated with a software vendor that provides services to KosmosCentral. The parties that set third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the KosmosCentral website and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

KosmosCentral uses first and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are necessary for the operation of the KosmosCentral Site: we refer to these as “essential cookies.” Other cookies enable us to track online behavior of our users, both individually and in aggregate. We use this information to better understand, improve and optimize the website experience for our users.

First-Party Cookies

We utilize session cookies, which allow us to uniquely identify your browser while you are logged in and to process your online transactions. Session cookies disappear from your computer when the web browser is closed or computer is turned off. Session cookies are required for site operation. We also utilize persistent cookies to make it easier to log into and use the Site and Services. Persistent cookies remain on computers after the web browser is closed or the computer is turned off.

Third-Party Cookies

These cookies provide information that is used to the help us understand how our website is being used, to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and to help customize the website for you.

Information gathered from third-party cookies and from your browser can include:

  • IP address
  • Device identifiers (see below for more information)
  • Web browser information
  • Hardware and software information
  • Page view statistics
  • Browsing history
  • Usage information
  • Location information
  • Time of access

Third-parties retain this data for varying periods of time.

Other Tracking Technologies

Web Beacons/Clear Gifs

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We also use web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Site. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning. We may also embed clear gifs in email messages to track user responses.

This information is processed by us to provide reporting and improvement about the Site.

Device Identifiers

When you access the Service by or through a mobile device (including but not limited to smart-phones or tablets), we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers,” such as a unique device identifier (“UDID”). Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by KosmosCentral. A device identifier may convey information to us about how you browse and use the Site. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Service. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

Device identifiers are processed by us to provide information about Site usage and improve the operation of the Site.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links, or you can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies via your browser, you may still use our Site and Services, through your access to some functionality may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
As noted above, you may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or remove them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences.

To be clear, cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted-out. For example, if you have opted-out on your computer browser, that opt-out will not be effective on your mobile device. You must separately opt-out on each device. Advertisements on Third-Party websites that contain the AdChoices link and that link to this Privacy Policy may have been directed to you based on anonymous, non-Personal Data collected by advertising partners over time and across websites. These advertisements provide a mechanism to opt-out of the advertising partners’ use of this information for interest-based advertising purposes.

These social media features are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
