  9. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION

    We generally retain your information as long as reasonably necessary to provide you the Services, comply with applicable law or otherwise in accordance with our data retention practices. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means and the applicable legal requirements. We may retain copies of information about you and any transactions or Services you have used for a period of time that is consistent with applicable law, applicable statute of limitations or as we believe is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, to detect or prevent fraud, to collect fees owed, to resolve disputes, to address problems with our Services, to assist with investigations, to enforce other applicable agreements or policies or to take any other actions consistent with applicable law.

    In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you. This allows the specific information collected (name, email, address, phone number, etc.) to become anonymous, but allows Cygnus to keep the transaction or engagement data. For example, Cygnus will not be able to tell if John Smith purchased a particular product, but we will be able to tell that a person purchased a product and the related transactional history. This will allow Cygnus to maintain a level of information that helps us develop and improve our sites and Services.

    Subject to legal requirements, we retain Employment Information for the length of employment plus an additional seven (7) years.

  10. MARKETING AND PROMOTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS

    You may unsubscribe from receiving marketing and promotional messages from Cygnus, if those messages are powered by Cygnus, by following the instructions in those messages or in your account settings.

We hold information about you both at our own premises and with the assistance of third-party service providers.

These kinds of disclosures may constitute a “sale” when the personal information is exchanged for non-monetary consideration, or “sharing” when the personal information is disclosed for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.

  14. LOYALTY PROGRAMS AND FINANCIAL INCENTIVES


    Notice of Financial Incentive Programs

    Cygnus may offer you certain financial incentive programs connected to the collection of your personal information that can result in different price, rate, or service levels available to you. We offer these financial incentive programs because the benefits you receive through our programs relate to your personal information’s value to us. Participation in a financial incentive program is voluntary and requires your prior opt-in consent. The details and terms of our various programs will be presented to you in the respective documentation when you enroll in these programs. You are only enrolled in these programs with your consent, which you may revoke at any time.

    We collect and use the information that we obtain through these programs to further our business in accordance with our Privacy Policy. While we do not assign a monetary value to the data that we collect, based on our current estimate, we believe that the value you receive from our financial incentive programs is reasonably related to the value Cygnus receives from your personal information related to these programs. In determining the value of your information to Cygnus, we consider the value to our business, which is reasonably correlated to the value provided to you through both monetary and nonmonetary rewards.

    You can opt-out of participation in any of our financial incentive programs at any time. If you wish to opt-out, please utilize the disengagement or unenrollment mechanisms presented to you for the particular program.

  15. DO NOT TRACK

    Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking across websites. Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a website should respond to this signal, so we do not take any action in response to this signal. Cygnus does not have a mechanism in place to respond to DNT signals. Instead, in addition to publicly available third-party tools, we offer you the choices described in this Privacy Policy to manage the collection and use of information about you.

    Cygnus does track some activity across websites (including your search terms, the website you visited before you visited or used the Services and other clickstream data) and we may continue to collect information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy from web browsers that have enabled DNT signals or similar mechanisms.

  16. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We display an effective date on this Privacy Policy at the top of this Privacy Policy so that it will be easier for you to know when there has been a change. If we make any material change to this Privacy Policy regarding use or disclosure of personal information, we will provide notice on our sites. Changes will apply to information collected after the change is effective. Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for changes. Small changes or changes that do not significantly affect individual privacy interests may be made at any time and without prior notice. Your use of the sites constitutes acceptance of the provisions of this Privacy Policy and your continued usage after such changes are posted constitutes acceptance of each revised Privacy Policy.
