We at 7 Knots Digital have created this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise process personal information in connection with operating our business. To view our full Privacy Policy, you may click on any of the “tell me more” links or scroll down

Email us at admin@7knotsdigital.com if you have questions about our Privacy Notice.

At 7 Knots Digital we respect the privacy of our users and the importance of the information they entrust to us. For this reason, we have adopted the following policy to advise you of our use of your personal information online and your choices regarding that use. This policy describes what types of information we gather about you, how we use it, under what circumstances we disclose it to third-parties, and your rights to update or correct it. 7 Knots Digital provides growth and digital marketing services to businesses – our clients. Our services are designed for businesses and are not intended for individuals’ personal, family or household use. Accordingly, we treat all personal information covered by this Privacy Policy, including information about any visitors to our website, as pertaining to individuals acting as business representatives, rather than in their personal capacity. To take advantage of our services, our clients share with us information about their customers and sales leads, including contact details. We process that information only at the direction of the client who provided the information, and only on that client’s behalf. We may also collect personal data for our own business purposes in connection with our business, such as business contact details of potential customers or job applicants’ resumes.

SCOPE OF POLICY

This Policy applies to:

The 7knotsdigital.com website, and any other websites, mobile applications, or online services controlled by us and which display this Privacy Policy
7 Knots Digital’s services and applications.

This Policy does not apply to other companies’ or organizations’ web sites to which we link. You should carefully review the privacy policies of those web sites in order to determine how they treat your personal information.

INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

Information We Collect for 7 Knots Digital’s Own Business Purposes

We may collect information about individuals who interact with 7 Knots Digital when using our website, mobile applications and our services (such as employees of our clients), job applicants, and other individuals.

How we collect the information

We may collect information:

Directly from individuals
From third party vendors, data brokers, or business partners
From recruiters

Types of information we collect

The types of information we collect include personal and business contact information (such as contact name, business name, title, address, telephone number, and email address), and information individuals may provide in responses to survey questions.

Information We Collect from or on Behalf of Our Clients

We may collect information about individuals from our clients, such as through the operation of our services. Our clients determine the scope of the information transferred to us, and the information we receive may vary by client. Typically, we may collect business contact information from our clients when providing growth marketing services on behalf of our clients. Our clients may also request that we supplement data provided by the client with information from third-party vendors, data brokers, or business partners.

COOKIES AND OTHER INFORMATION COLLECTED BY AUTOMATED MEANS

We, our service providers, and our business partners, may collect certain information about the use of our websites by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor‘s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. We and our service providers and business partners may collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites when you use our websites and other mobile applications.

Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time. Please see the “Privacy Preferences, Rights and Choices” section below for information about how you may opt-out of, or limit the use of, your browsing behavior for online behavioral advertising purposes.

The information we collect by automated means includes:

Details about the devices that are used to access our websites and mobile applications (such as the IP address, type of device, operating system and web browser, and language settings)
Dates and times of visits to, and use of, our websites and mobile applications
Information about how our websites and mobile applications are used (such as the content that is viewed on our websites and how users navigate between our webpages, or the features of our mobile applications that are used and how users navigate between screens on our mobile applications)
Details about how individuals interact with our emails (such as whether the email is opened and which links are clicked in the email)
URLs that refer visitors to our websites
Search terms used to reach our websites or locate our mobile applications

Web browsers may offer users of our websites the ability to disable receiving certain types of cookies; however, if cookies are disabled, some features or functionality of our websites may not function correctly.
