Cookie Settings

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first party cookies. We also use third party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts.

More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

Assisting you in navigation;
Assisting in registration to our events, whitepapers, and for your ability to provide feedback;
Analyzing your use of our products, services or applications;
Assisting with our promotional and marketing efforts. (including behavioral advertising)

Cookies cannot be used by themselves to disclose your Personal Data. Cookies enable us to track the number of page visits from the same computer or browser to be aggregated for statistical purposes. Cookies do not corrupt or damage your computer, programs, or computer files.

The purpose for which we use cookies is set forth in a banner appearing the first time you land on our website. By continuing to browse on the website, you consent to their use. Here is our detailed cookie list.

Pixel Tags

We and our service providers may use pixel tags (also known as “clear gifs”, “web beacons”, “web bugs”, etc.), tracking links and/or similar technology. Pixel tags are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages or in emails and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

The purpose for which we use pixel tags are as follows:

Track customer response to advertisements and website content so that we may determine what content is effective,
We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. We tie the information gathered by clear gifs in emails to our customers’ Personal Data,
Better target interactive advertising, enhance customer support and site usability, and provide offers and promotions that we believe would be of interest to you. Your Personal Data will not be collected apart from what you voluntarily provide us.

Global-Z is committed to complying with the privacy provisions of The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and is making a good faith effort to implement all aspects of the Regulation in its website and marketing campaigns. This Notice sets out how we will treat your Personal Data when we act as the controller of that data and when its processing is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Your rights:

You are entitled to have any inadequate, incomplete or incorrect Personal Data corrected (that is, rectified).
You also have the right to request access to your Personal Data (including receiving a copy thereof) as well as additional information about the processing.
If we ever process your personal data on the lawful ground of your consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Further, you are entitled to have your Personal Data erased, under certain circumstances.

As from May 25, 2018, you also have the following additional rights:

Data portability – if ever we rely (as the lawful ground for processing) upon your consent, or the fact that the processing is necessary to perform a contract to which you are party (such as your employment contract), and the Personal Data is processed by automatic means, you have the right to receive all such Personal Data which you have provided us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and also to require that it be transmitted to another controller where this is technically feasible.
- Right to erasure – you are entitled to have your Personal Data erased under specific circumstances, such as where you have withdrawn your consent, where you object to processing based on legitimate interests and we have no overriding legitimate grounds (see below) or where Personal Data is unlawfully processed, provided that applicable law does not provide otherwise.
Right to restriction of processing – you have the right to restrict the processing of your Personal Data (that is, allow only its storage) where:
you contest the accuracy of the Personal Data, until we have taken sufficient steps to correct or verify its accuracy;
where the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase the Personal Data;
where we no longer need your Personal Data for the purposes of the processing, but you require such Personal Data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
where you have objected to processing justified on legitimate interest lawful grounds (see below), pending verification as to whether we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing.

Where your personal data is subject to restriction we will only process it with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to object to processing (including profiling) based on legitimate interest grounds – where we rely upon legitimate interests to process Personal Data, you have the right to object to that processing. If you object, we must stop that processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or we need to process the Personal Data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or applicable law requires otherwise.
Right to object to direct marketing (including profiling) – you have the right to object to our use of your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable law.

You may contact us if you wish to exercise any of your rights in respect of your Personal Data processed in this website or the platform.

Information Security Management System (ISMS) Policy

Information is a valuable corporate asset. Business continuity is dependent on its confidentiality, integrity, and continued availability. As such, steps will be taken to protect information assets from unauthorized use, modification, disclosure, or destruction, whether accidental or intentional. The protection and integrity of these assets is a basic management responsibility and will be in line with regulatory, legal, and contractual requirements.

Information Security and Awareness training will be made available to all staff.

Top Management has established the following information security objectives to guide and help assess the effectiveness of the ISMS:

Maintaining our reputation as a highly trusted expert in the processing and hosting of global Personal Data.
Adhering to and promoting globally recognized best practices for the protection of Personal Data from inadvertent disclosure.
Continuing to serve as an industry leader in the development and delivery of high quality global Personal Data processing services and solutions.
Ensuring that risks that would likely put the business at risk of insolvency are identified and addressed.
Ensuring that the ISMS provides a framework to allow customers and suppliers to have confidence in Global-Z’s handling of their information.
Ensuring that the ISMS is flexible and incorporates responses to emerging regulatory and environmental conditions.

Top Management is responsible for identifying and protecting information assets within their assigned area of management control and ensuring that these assets are used for management approved purposes only.

Top Management will define, implement, and manage a risk assessment process to measure and manage the risks associated with the information assets. All employees must understand their obligations to protect these assets and implement and follow security practices and procedures that are consistent with the company’s Information Security Management System (ISMS).

Top Management is committed to the development and maintenance of an ISMS that will satisfy all applicable information security requirements, including those specified in ISO/IEC 27001:2013.

Top Management is committed to the continual improvement of the ISMS, and as such the ISMS will support the identification and recording of variances from established security practice, and the initiation and resolution of corrective actions.
