This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes and governs the information collection, use, and sharing practices of Computer Science Atlas LLC ("CSAtlas") with respect to your use of csatlas.com and all subdomains thereof (collectively, the "Website"). This Policy also applies to all products, information, and services provided through the Website (together with the Website, the "Services").
This Policy is incorporated into and part of the Computer Science Atlas Master Terms of Use ("Master Terms") located at https://csatlas.com/csatlas/terms.html.
Before you use or submit any information through or in connection with the Services, please carefully review this Privacy Policy. By using any part of the Services, you understand that your information will be collected, used, and disclosed as outlined in this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.
CSAtlas has designed this policy to be consistent with the following principles:
CSAtlas may collect information in multiple ways, including without limitation when you provide information directly to CSAtlas; when CSAtlas passively collects information from you, such as from your browser or device; and from third parties.
CSAtlas may collect any information you provide to CSAtlas. CSAtlas may collect information from you in a variety of ways, including but not limited to when you contact CSAtlas or provide feedback. This information may include but is not limited to your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, payment information, photo, geographic location, and your social media handles.
CSAtlas may automatically collect certain information about the computer or devices (including mobile devices or tablets) you use to access the Services, and store this information in web server logs. A web server log is a file where website activity is stored. CSAtlas does not store personal data or personally identifiable information (such as IP addresses or online identifiers) in web server logs. CSAtlas may collect and analyze in web server logs an anonymized version of your IP address that CSAtlas is unable to use to identify you. CSAtlas may also collect and analyze (a) device information such as browser types, browser language, operating system, and (b) information related to the ways in which you interact with the Services, such as referring and exit web pages and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages and content viewed and the order of those pages, anonymized statistical information about the use of the Services, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time you used the Services, error logs, and other similar information.
CSAtlas does not use cookies on the Services. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer when you visit a website.
CSAtlas may also collect information about you or others through third parties. To the extent permitted by law, CSAtlas may also collect information from third parties, including public sources, social media platforms, and marketing and market research firms. Depending on the source, this information collected from third parties could include name, contact information, demographic information, information about an individual's employer, information to verify identity or trustworthiness, and information for other fraud or safety protection purposes.
CSAtlas may use the information CSAtlas collects from and about you to:
Please note that CSAtlas may combine information that CSAtlas collects from you and about you (including automatically collected information) with information CSAtlas obtains about you from CSAtlas's affiliates and/or non-affiliated third parties, and use such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
CSAtlas may aggregate and/or de-identify information collected through the Services. CSAtlas may use de-identified and/or aggregated data for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes.
CSAtlas may disclose and/or share your information under the following circumstances:
Service Providers. CSAtlas may disclose your information with third parties who perform services on CSAtlas's behalf, including without limitation, event management, candidate selection, marketing, customer support, data storage, data analysis and processing, and legal services.
Legal Compliance and Protection of CSAtlas and Others. CSAtlas may disclose your information if required to do so by law or on a good faith belief that such disclosure is permitted by this Privacy Policy or reasonably necessary or appropriate for any of the following reasons: (a) to comply with legal process; (b) to enforce or apply CSAtlas's Master Terms and this Privacy Policy, or other contracts with you, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) to respond to your requests for customer service; and/or (d) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of CSAtlas, CSAtlas's agents and affiliates, users of any of the Services, and the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, and spam/malware prevention, and similar purposes.
Asset Transfers. CSAtlas may engage in certain business transactions, such as the transfer or sale of assets. In such transactions, (including in contemplation of such transactions, e.g., due diligence) your information may be disclosed. If any of CSAtlas's assets related to the Services are sold or transferred to a third party, user information (including your email address) may be one of the transferred assets.
Affiliated Parties. CSAtlas may disclose your information with current or future affiliated parties.
Consent. CSAtlas may disclose your information to any third parties based on your consent to do so.
Aggregate/De-identified Information. CSAtlas may disclose de-identified and/or aggregated data for any purpose to third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners, and/or others.
The laws in some jurisdictions may require website operators to tell you about the legal ground they rely on to use or disclose information that can be directly linked to or used to identify you. To the extent those laws apply, CSAtlas's legal grounds for processing such information are as follows:
To Provide Services to You. Much of CSAtlas's processing of information is to aid in providing services to Website users.
Legitimate Interests. In many cases, CSAtlas handles information on the ground that it furthers CSAtlas's legitimate interests in ways that are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals; these include:
CSAtlas may also process information for the same legitimate interests of CSAtlas's users, affiliates and business partners.
Legal Compliance. CSAtlas may need to use and disclose information in certain ways to comply with CSAtlas's legal obligations.
Consent. Where required by law, and in some other cases where legally permissible, CSAtlas handles information on the basis of consent. Where CSAtlas handles your information on the basis of consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent; in accordance with applicable law.
Individuals in the European Economic Area ("EEA") and other jurisdictions have certain legal rights (subject to applicable exceptions and limitations) to obtain confirmation of whether CSAtlas holds certain information about them, to access such information, and to obtain its correction or deletion in appropriate circumstances. You may have the right to object to CSAtlas's handling of your information, restrict CSAtlas's processing of your information, and to withdraw any consent you have provided. To exercise these rights, please email CSAtlas at legal@csatlas.com with the nature of your request. You also have the right to go directly to the relevant supervisory or legal authority, but CSAtlas encourages you to contact CSAtlas so that CSAtlas may attempt to resolve your concerns directly and promptly.
CSAtlas's computer systems are currently based in the United States. As described above in the "When CSAtlas Discloses Your Information" section, CSAtlas may share your information with trusted service providers or business partners in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States, in accordance with applicable law. This means that some of your information may be processed in the United States, which may not offer the same level of protection as the privacy laws of your jurisdiction. By providing CSAtlas with your information, you acknowledge any such transfer, storage or use.
If CSAtlas provides any information about you to any third party information processors located outside of the EEA, CSAtlas will take appropriate measures to ensure such companies protect your information adequately in accordance with this Privacy Policy and other data protection laws to govern the transfers of such data.
CSAtlas has implemented technical, physical, and organizational security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and/or alteration of your information. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that CSAtlas collects and stores. However, CSAtlas cannot and does not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information since despite CSAtlas's efforts, no Internet and/or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.
The Services are intended for users over the age of 18 and are not directed at children under the age of 13. If CSAtlas becomes aware that CSAtlas has collected personal information (as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) from children under the age of 13, or personal data (as defined by the EU GDPR) from children under the age of 16, CSAtlas will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as practicable.
CSAtlas retains the information CSAtlas collects for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy or as long as CSAtlas is legally required or permitted to do so. Information may persist in copies made for backup purposes for additional time.
The Services may contain links to third-party websites and services (e.g., YouTube and GitHub). If you choose to use these sites or features, you may disclose your information not just to those third-parties, but also to their users and the public more generally depending on how their services function. CSAtlas is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such third party websites or services. The collection, use and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third party websites or services, and not this Privacy Policy. CSAtlas encourages you to read the privacy statements of each and every site you visit.
CSAtlas will continue to evaluate this Privacy Policy as CSAtlas updates and expands the Services, and CSAtlas may make changes to the Privacy Policy accordingly. CSAtlas will post any changes here and revise the date last updated above. CSAtlas encourages you to check this page periodically for updates to stay informed on how CSAtlas collects, uses and shares your information. If CSAtlas makes material changes to this Privacy Policy, CSAtlas will provide you with notice as required by law.
