Information Collection

A. Automatically Collected Information

When you use our site or access particular site services, we, like other businesses with online services, receive technical information. We employ these technologies to examine how users interact with the site services and to enhance the functionality of our website.

When you access or interact with the site or site services, we and our third-party service providers, including analytics and third-party content providers, may automatically collect the following data from you: links clicked, pages visited, contact form information or chat widgets. We might also record the Internet Protocol ("IP") address you used to access the site services, together with your browser, operating system, and referring URL. Based on your IP address, we (and/or our service providers) may use publicly accessible sources to estimate your geographic region and Internet service provider. We gather this data to enhance the services we provide to you as well as to enhance marketing, analytics, and site service operations.

B. Voluntarily Collected Information

Site visitors may decide to interact with the site in a way that results in you giving personal information to Laraforest, such as when you sign up to learn more about Laraforest's client services or to apply to be a Laraforest Developer in the Laraforest Talent Network, providing us with your name, email address, phone number, and country location. You will be required to submit personal information if you use our site to sign up for certain services, download e-books, participate in online meetings or webinars, finish online registration forms, apply for jobs via our site, or set up or modify any of your marketing choices. We will utilise the personal information you choose to give us to answer your request if you choose to do so.

If you permit us, we may send you information about our products and services, including marketing communications, as follows:

  • to advertise occasions, giveaways, challenges, seminars, studies, our services, news, or pertinent business updates.

While there is no obligation for visitors to provide us with any information, Laraforest Developers may be contractually obligated to do so (in accordance with the Talent Network Terms & Conditions). If we do not get certain information from you, we will not be able to provide you with certain site services.

Information Usage

You don’t have to give us any personal information in order to use or access our site. For internal business objectives or for profit, Laraforest does not purchase or sell personal information.

In order to carry out its business functions for our employees, Laraforest stores, maintains, processes, and/or handles personal information data of Laraforest employees as needed.

In order to provide services to Laraforest Clients, we might also obtain personal information from them. Except as otherwise stipulated in this Agreement, we exclusively share the personal information back with our separate Clients. Any personal information utilised for such reasons will be restricted to access by only those who need it given their job function at Laraforest. We do not keep, utilise, or disclose any personal information gathered on behalf of our Clients for any reason (including any commercial purpose).

Laraforest does not use or disclose any personal information collected on behalf of our Clients for any purpose other than the specific purpose of performing the services.

Only employees and third-party vendors who: (1) require access to the personal information of our users in order to process it on our behalf or to provide the services mentioned above; and (2) have agreed in writing not to disclose the information to any other parties without Laraforest’s consent are permitted to receive it from Laraforest.

Laraforest occasionally participates in joint marketing campaigns with selected corporate partners. We may share pertinent personal information with such partners if you sign up for a joint webinar or particularly indicate an interest in a product, promotion, or service that is offered in conjunction (s). These business partners may send you marketing materials for their own goods and services if you have given them permission to do so. Data may be transferred by Laraforest to third-party suppliers serving as our agents, in the event that another organisation purchases business assets, through regular business operations owing to expansions or fund-raising, or in accordance with any other provisions of this policy. Any impacted parties must receive written notice from Laraforest of any transfer of personal information during any change of ownership.

These organisations are in charge of controlling how they utilise the personal information they gather under these conditions. For more information on how each third party collects, uses, and shares information, you may want to consult their privacy policies. The use of cookies can be managed by each browser separately.
