Introduction

Because we believe so strongly that the information you share with us is private and should remain so, we’ve decided to lay out exactly what you can expect from us when it comes to safeguarding the privacy of your information.  This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes TORSH, Inc.’s ( “TORSH”, also referred to as “we”, “us” and/or “our”) use and sharing of (1) personally identifiable information (“PII”) that you (“users” or “you”) voluntarily provide to us when you use our website, https://www.torsh.co (the “Site”), and (2) certain information about you that is automatically collected when you access the Site.

This Policy does not apply to information collected by us offline or through any third party (including our affiliates and subsidiaries), including any third party application, website, or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from this Site.

If you are looking to connect to our cloud-based video observation and feedback platform, Torsh TALENT, please visit https://torshtalent.com and refer to the policies applicable to that website.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may change this privacy policy from time to time in our sole discretion without notice to you by updating this posting. You should periodically review this privacy policy carefully in order to inform you of the most current terms and conditions for the use of the Site. By continuing to use this Site, you agree to be bound by any such changes.

What Types of Information Do We Collect?

While using our Site, we may ask you to provide us with certain PII that can be used to contact or identify you, such as your full name, title, phone number, email address, telephone number, or mailing address. When purchasing our services, we may ask you to provide us with your financial account and routing information, debit or credit card number with expiration date, the last four digits of your social security number, or other PII relevant to processing your purchase.  We will retain such PII only for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required by the law. 

Your PII also may be used for internal purposes, such as to provide you with other products and services you have requested. If you correspond with us by email, we may retain the content of your email messages and your email address, and our responses in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests, and improve our services. We may also collect PII from you when we enroll you in our email and/or hard copy marketing programs and will give you the option to “opt-out” of receiving such communications if you no longer wish to receive them. 

If you choose to submit information, such as your resume / CV and cover letter, using the “Work at Torsh” section of our Site, we may ask you to submit for our consideration: your full name, address, email address, telephone number, or other contact information; information contained in your curriculum vitae, resume, or cover letter, such as previous work experience, education; type of employment sought, desired salary, willingness to relocate, or other job preferences, and full names and contact information for referrals.  We will not seek any confidential or proprietary information you may have received from your previous employers. All such submissions are voluntary and revocable by you.  If you choose not to provide all of the data that is requested for your application, our ability to consider you as a candidate may be limited.

Only employees, affiliates, and authorized third party service providers or vendors of Torsh who are bound to keep your PII confidential will process any PII submitted to us, for employment purposes or otherwise. 

Aggregated Personal Information. TORSH conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the personal information and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and TORSH may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents, and business partners. This aggregate personal information does not identify you personally using any PII. TORSH may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

What Types of Automated Information Collection is in Use?

Our Site uses Google Analytics and may use other similar technologies (the “Analytics Technologies”) to collect and process certain information about you and your use of the Site.  Analytics Technologies collect statistical data that does not include PII, and we do not maintain it or associate it with any PII we collect in other ways or receive from third parties.  

You may learn more about how Google uses the information it collects by visiting: Google Privacy Policy – Partners. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Site is restricted by the Google Privacy Policy located at Google Privacy – Analytics.

Our web server and/or the Analytics Technologies may collect and store the following information about you when you visit our Site: the originating name of the domain from which you access the Internet; the date and time you access the Site; the pages of the Site you visit or the services you access on the Site; the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to the Site; the type of device, device ID, operating system and web browser you use to access the Site; the search engine and key words used that brought you to one of our sites; and the location of the device used to access the Site. This information is collected automatically.  We use it to improve the Site by tracking the number of “hits” or visits to the Site, the most popular times of day and sections visited, and the range of devices and browsers most commonly used to view the Site.  We do not sell any of this information to third parties.

What are cookies and how are they used?

We may use “cookies,” which are small files stored on your computer’s hard drive that are used to store and track personal information. Cookies are used to (a) remind us of who you are in order to deliver you better service; (b) estimate our audience size by determining repeat usage of the Site to help target advertisements based on user interests and behavior; and (c) measure certain traffic patterns to help us understand our users’ habits.

We may also collect log data, which may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (the Internet address of a computer), browser type, browser version, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics. We analyze this log data for certain trends in usage statistics, such as which parts of our site users are visiting and how long they spend there during their session. In general, we do not link your IP addresses to anything personally identifiable to you.

Google API Data Usage

TORSH applications offer an optional integration with Google Calendar through the Google API. When this integration is enabled and authorized by the user it will use the Google Calendar integration for the purposes of scheduling events. Events scheduled within TORSH applications can be added to the user’s Google calendar by the TORSH application. The TORSH application can also use the user’s schedule on Google Calendar to determine if they have availability for an event. TORSH will only use information from Google Calendar for the purpose of scheduling events and will not share any data from Google APIs with anyone and will not store that information longer than is necessary to schedule the event. TORSH applications access this information through the Google API which requires authorization from the user.

How We Use Your Information

We may use the information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any PII:

  • To present the Site and its contents to you;
  • To provide you with information or services that you request from us;

What Information Do We Share and With Whom?

We do not rent or sell any of your information to third party marketers. We will not send you any unsolicited third party newsletters, promotional mail, or email.  As permitted by law, we may share your information with our affiliates, subsidiaries, or divisions and with their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys, and agents, as necessary for us to continue to provide you with our products and services and defend our legal interests. In certain circumstances, we may also share your information with service providers or vendors that need access to your information to provide operational or other support services on our behalf.

To ensure the confidentiality and security of your information, service providers and vendors must agree to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using your PII except for the purposes for which we disclose it to them or as required by law. We also may provide information to regulatory authorities and law enforcement officials in accordance with applicable law or when we otherwise believe in good faith that the law, a court order, or legal process requires it or we may access or disclose your information in order to protect or defend our legal rights or property or that of our affiliated companies and our employees and agents, to protect the safety and security of end users, and to protect against fraud.  We may also enforce our Terms of Use and or respond to claims that any posting or other content violates the rights of third parties. Finally, in the event that we sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets in connection with a merger, reorganization or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy, your PII may be one of the assets transferred.

Third Parties With Whom We Share Information

In addition to Google Analytics, we may share your PII and non-PII with third parties who assist with delivery of our services and products.  We use Zendesk in order to provide integrated personal support to you and address your concerns as soon as possible. Their privacy policy is available at: ZenDesk Privacy Policy. This Site uses Facebook Domain Insights, which uses “cookies” in order to help the website to analyze overall traffic patterns through the website. By transmitting the information generated by the cookie about the use of the website to Facebook, setting ensures that IP address is anonymized before geo-localization and will be replaced by a generic IP address before storage. See Facebook Data Policy for more information. We also use a web performance and security service, CloudFlare, to ensure that the Services are secure and operate quickly. CloudFlare may collect non-personally identifiable information about you although we do not directly provide any information to them. Any such collection is governed by CloudFlare’s Privacy Policy.  We use the reCAPTCHA widget on this Site, which makes use of cookies to prevent spam requests from entering our public forms.

Security

We maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information. When you enter PII, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (“SSL”). Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  We cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, and you do so at your own risk.  We are not responsible for any circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide. We make no warranties, express, implied or otherwise as to the ultimate effectiveness of these reasonable and appropriate safeguards.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you.  Where we have given you (or you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.  Do not to share your password with anyone else. In particular, email sent to or from the Site may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email or through any web chat function made available to you, such as ZenDesk. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any PII via the Internet on our Site or others.
