This Privacy Policy stipulates the privacy practices for the Top Connect Website under the MyCII.in ("Top Connect") domain and Top Connect mobile applications.

CII is committed to complying with data protection laws and to the protection and confidentiality of the personal data of Top Connect Users. CII would like Users to be well informed of the gathering and use of their information through Top Connect. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before accessing Top Connect and prior to entering your personal information. Accepting the terms of this Privacy Policy is a necessary prerequisite to registering to and accessing Top Connect.

The following points present the essential body of CII’s Privacy Policy:

  • general trends in the use of the Top Connect Website will be monitored;
  • there will be no collection of information concerning Users unless that information is voluntarily disclosed, for example by signing up as a User;
  • there will be no selling or renting of information voluntarily disclosed to CII nor sharing of it with any third parties; except with those other registered users of Top Connect and third parties maintaining and developing Top Connect;
  • Users will only be contacted by CII for purposes related to the work and/or activities of the CII;
  • Users signed up for Top Connect services can modify their information at any time, except for their name, email, Company name, unless that information is incorrect (in which case we give the Users an opportunity to update it).

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Top Connect Terms of Use. Any person who registers or uses Top Connect acknowledges thereby that they have read and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy, as they may be amended from time to time. Any User who uses or accesses Top Connect agrees and consents to the collection of personal information in the manner outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Use of Information

By registering to Top Connect, Users voluntarily consent to their personal data being collected by CII and used by third parties that maintain and develop Top Connect as well as by other Top Connect users registered on Top Connect.

CII will ensure that third parties accessing the personal data of Users shall comply with the same data protection requirements as CII and that the personal data will be used exclusively for the purpose set out above.

The User’s personal data will not be used for advertising or market research purposes.

CII will analyse browsing patterns and usage trends of Top Connect Users with the general information collected.

CII periodically summarizes and analyses these log files to learn how Users use content on Top Connect. This information is used to improve the content, organization and performance of Top Connect.

Security

Any information provided to CII by Users of Top Connect is handled with due care and security, and will not be used in ways other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy, or in any site/area-specific policies, or in ways to which Users have not explicitly consented. CII employs a range of technologies and security measures to protect the information maintained on CII systems from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, since the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, CII cannot ensure nor guarantee the security of any information that the User may transmit to Top Connect. There is no guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of any of CII’s physical, technical or managerial safeguards.

All CII employees who have access to and are associated with the processing of personal data are obliged to respect the confidentiality of all such personal data.

User Rights

The User has the right to information relating to his/her personal data stored by CII. The User is entitled to have any inaccuracy or error in his/her data corrected, or to have his/her data blocked or deleted. The deletion of personal data from Top Connect will cancel the User’s Top Connect account.

Retention of Personal Information

CII will retain the User’s personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Electronic Mail

When a User sends CII personal identifying information via e-mail (that is, in a message containing a question or a comment, or by filling out a form that e-mails CII this information), CII uses it to respond to User requests. CII may forward the User’s e-mail to other employees of CII (including affiliates s or branches of CII, also such that are located in countries that do not have legislation which provides for adequate Data Protection) who are better able to answer the User’ questions. Information collected via e-mail will be retained at the sole discretion of CII in a directly readable form as long as it is necessary to complete CII’s response.

Top Connect may have links to other websites that are not operated or maintained by CII and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Users should be aware that the links on Top Connect are provided only for User convenience. CII has no control over, makes no promises or warranties of any kind with regard to, and has no responsibility or liability for, the content of any other websites or their privacy policies, their use of cookies, or the way they collect, save, store or use information. Users should review the privacy policy of each website they visit.

Applicable Law and Venue of Jurisdiction
