Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we treat your personal information and what choices and rights you have ABOUT OUR PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.  If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of this Policy, you should not access or use the Websites or our services. 

Who is responsible for your personal information?

TMT has certain responsibilities with regard to the personal information that you provide to us through our Websites.

If you are a user located in the European Union (the “EU”) or European Economic Area (“EEA”), TMT generally considers itself to be the controller of the personal information that we collect from you for purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, 2016/679 (the “GDPR”).

What personal information do we collect and why?

We may collect or request anonymous or non-personally identifiable information from our Website users. Such information cannot identify a specific individual unless combined with personally identifiable information. For example, we may collect aggregate website information for a variety of audience statistical and website performance-related reasons, such as calculating the percentage of our Website users who live in a particular state or the Website pages visited most frequently.

We also may collect and process the following types of personally identifiable information from you (which may also constitute “personal data”, as that data is defined under applicable data protection laws) for the following purposes:

Security of your personal information

We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized manner, altered or disclosed during collection, storage, and processing.  While our security measures seek to protect your personal information in our possession, no security system is perfect and we cannot guarantee that your personal information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances or that any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Websites cannot be circumvented.

The majority of communications on our Websites, including any submissions through available forms, are sent through the standard HTTP protocol and may be delivered using regular e-mail.
