1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies only to data collected through the Site and not any other data collection or processing including, without limitation, data we may collect offline or data collection practices of other web pages to which we link, or through websites, products or services that do not display a direct link to this Privacy Policy.

2. Types of Data and Collection Methods

Data you submit. When you request information, subscribe to or order a product or service, register as a user, respond to an online survey, submit an application for employment, or otherwise actively send us data, we usually collect data such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, and certain information related to you or the business you represent. In connection with chargeable services, we will also collect payment information, phone number, and billing and shipping addresses. In connection with applications for employment, the Site will also prompt you to provide employment and educational history, phone number, and other contact information. We sometimes partner with other organizations. When we do, we may present you with the option to share your email and personal information with the partner organization and to opt-in to their program. In each such instance, you will know what data we collect through the Site, because you actively submit it. We are not responsible for emails you receive from a partner organization or third party that has independently obtained your email (i.e., when Parallel does not provide your email to the third party), even if the email is a third party email promoting Parallel’s goods or services.

Information we automatically collect. As part of the standard operation of the Site, we may collect information from your computer or mobile device, including but not limited to your browser type, operating system, IP address and the domain name from which you accessed the site, and if you are accessing our site with your mobile device, type of mobile device.

5. Security

Parallel uses industry accepted data collection and encryption methodologies in an attempt to ensure the secure collection and transmission of sensitive user information. While we try our best to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

6. IP Addresses

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you access the Internet. This number may be the same each time you access the Internet, or it may change. Like other Internet sites, Parallel uses IP addresses to collect aggregate information about numbers of visitors and Site usage. The address is logged on our server when your computer requests information from Parallel. Parallel reserves the right, in rare instances, to use IP addresses to identify individuals who threaten our site, service, or users.
