Privacy Statement

1 - Introduction: Our Commitment to Privacy
As a customer, client, partner, or private citizen, your privacy and trust in our interactions are important to nClouds. This Statement—referred to in the rest of this document as our “Privacy Statement”—explains how nClouds protects and maintains corporate data, especially the personally identifiable information of those interacting with our organization.

This Privacy Statement discloses the information practices for the nClouds website and services; explains what type of information about our users, clients, customers, and partners is gathered and tracked; and explains how that information is used, shared, disclosed, or otherwise processed offline. It also describes how cookies, location data, and other technologies may be used in our services and software products.

In this Privacy Statement, the terms “nClouds,” “we,” “us,” and “our” include our subcontractors and or affiliates. We use the terms “client,” “you,” and “your” to mean any person using an applicable nClouds platform, engaging in services, or attending related events, including any organization or person using our platform or services on behalf of an organization. This Privacy Statement applies to the processing of information about individuals or entities that we collect when you use our “Services” (which means any website, application, dashboard, or consulting work nClouds offers) and/or at any time you communicate with us. This Privacy Statement does not apply to the information that you may provide to third parties, such as others with whom you may share information about yourself or your company.

This Privacy Statement applies

  • when you visit or use our websites and obtain other Services, including events, that refer or link to this Privacy Statement;
  • when nClouds accesses your websites, designated environment, and/or infrastructure for the purpose of providing consulting and contractual Services; and
  • when nClouds receives or procures data from a third party.

This Privacy Statement may be supplemented by additional privacy statements, terms, or notices mutually agreed upon by both parties.
We will indicate within the engagement process of our contracts, services, and other applications what types of personal information are required and those that are requested. You may choose not to submit the requested information, but that may limit or prohibit the services that nClouds is able to provide to you.

At all times, nClouds shall comply with all applicable international, federal, regional, and local privacy laws and regulations.

We are not responsible for any third party’s privacy policy or content, even if we link to those services from our Platform or if we share information with these third parties.
