How TKW uses Automatic Data Collection Tools. TKW web sites use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, Automatic Data Collection Tools), to remember log-in details, collect statistics to optimize site functionality, improve your user experience and deliver content tailored to your interests.
When you enter your contact details on a web form on an TKW site, in order to subscribe to a service, download a white paper or request information about TKW’s products and service, your contact details may be stored in a cookie on your device. This information is then accessed on subsequent visits to TKW’s sites, allowing us to track and record the sites you have visited and the links you have clicked, in order to better personalize your on-line experience, and future TKW communications.
If you choose to receive marketing emails or newsletters from TKW, we may track whether you’ve opened those messages and whether you’ve clicked on links contained within those messages, through the use of web beacons and personalized URLs embedded in these communications. This allows TKW to better personalize future communications and limit these communications to subjects that are of interest to you.
Since cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our web sites' features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you block, turn off or otherwise reject our cookies, some web pages may not display properly or you will not be able, for instance use any web site services that require you to sign in. (eg: having preference or account settings)
Some of our websites use Google Analytics cookies. Information collected by Google Analytics cookies will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States of America in accordance with its privacy practices. To see an overview of privacy at Google and how this applies to Google Analytics, visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

TKW strives to keep your personal data accurately recorded. We have implemented technical, management processes and policies to help maintain data accuracy. In accordance with applicable laws, TKW provides individuals with reasonable access to personal data that they provide to TKW and the reasonable ability to review and correct it.
To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as the requirement to provide a copy of a user ID, before granting access to your personal data. To view and update the personal data you provided directly to TKW, you can return to the web page where you originally submitted your data and follow the instructions on that web page or contact TKW at privacy@tecknoworks.com
TKW takes seriously the trust you place in us to protect your personal data. In order to protect your personal data from loss, or unauthorized use, access or disclosure, TKW utilizes reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard the information we collect and process. All systems used to support TKW’s business are governed by TKW’s Information Security policies, which are built upon industry standards and best practices like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 family of standards.
When collecting or transferring sensitive information we use a variety of additional security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The personal data you provide us is stored on computer systems locked in controlled facilities which have limited access or on our online secure spaces, offered by our cloud providers. Access to your information is restricted to specific TKW employees or authorized third parties who need to know that information in order to process it for us, and who are subject to strict confidentiality obligations. When we transmit sensitive information over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS), Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), or Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
Typically, we keep personal data for the length of any contractual relationship and, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, after the end of that relationship for as long as necessary to perform purposes set out in this Privacy Statement, to protect TKW from legal claims and administer our business. When we no longer need to use personal data, we will delete it from our systems and records or take steps to anonymize the data unless we need to keep it longer to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. If you would like to receive more information about our data retention policies, please contact TKW at privacy@tecknoworks.com.
Our privacy practices are aligned with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are located in the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, this additional information may be relevant and applicable to you.
