Privacy Policy

---

Thank you for choosing AIMS Konsulting. Your privacy is paramount to us, particularly in the digital realm of business transactions. This document details our practices regarding the accumulation, utilization, dissemination, and safeguarding of your (Visitor's) personal data. Utilization of our services constitutes acceptance of these stipulated terms.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

The concept of "Personally Identifiable Information" (PII) is critical in the realm of data protection and privacy. It encompasses a wide range of data that, either alone or in combination with other information, can be used to identify an individual. This includes direct identifiers like social security numbers and email addresses, which can pinpoint a specific person, as well as indirect identifiers, which may require more context to link to an individual. The protection of PII is a fundamental aspect of privacy laws and regulations, which mandate that organizations implement measures to safeguard such information. The distinction between PII and non-PII hinges on the ability to identify an individual; once anonymized, data loses its status as PII and is subject to different handling procedures. Understanding and correctly classifying PII is essential for compliance with privacy standards and for maintaining the trust of individuals whose data is being collected and processed.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) refers to any data that could potentially identify a specific individual. Any information that can be used to distinguish one person from another and can be used for de-anonymizing anonymous data can be considered PII. This typically includes information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. Collecting such information requires a clear privacy policy and adherence to data protection regulations to ensure that individuals' privacy rights are respected and protected.

Collection of PII by organisations.

In the digital age, data collection is a common practice, often involving multiple parties. Organizations that typically collect information include service vendors like credit card companies, banks, and insurance providers. These entities may gather data to facilitate transactions and services for visitors and customers. While we may not have direct control over the third parties, we usually require them to disclose their data usage policies. It's important for users to be aware of these practices and understand how their personal information is being handled.

Utilization of Personally Identifiable Information.

The utilization of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on a website is a critical aspect of managing user interactions and services. By customizing user experiences and tailoring service offerings, a site can effectively meet the needs and preferences of its visitors. Additionally, PII enables the communication of relevant opportunities and information, ensuring that users are informed and engaged with the site's offerings. It's also instrumental in responding to user inquiries, providing a personalized touch that can enhance user satisfaction and trust in the site's services.

PII sharing.

Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is typically governed by privacy policies and regulations to ensure the protection of individuals' data. In the context of business, PII about Authorized Customers may be shared with other Authorized Customers for the purpose of evaluating potential transactions. Additionally, aggregated data, which does not identify individuals, may be shared with affiliated agencies and third-party vendors for broader analysis. Importantly, individuals have the option to opt out of receiving communications or having their information shared, which is a critical aspect of data privacy practices.

Storage of Personally Identifiable Information.

The secure storage of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is a critical aspect of data protection. AIMS Konsulting typically employ a combination of physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to ensure that PII is not accessible to unauthorized individuals or entities. These measures may include but not limited to encryption, access controls, network security protocols, and regular audits. We adhere to relevant data protection laws and regulations, such as PIPEDA in Canada, which mandates obtaining consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information and ensuring it is protected by appropriate safeguards.

PII storage options available to Visitors.

Individuals have the right to control their personal information and the choice to opt out of certain uses and distributions. If a visitor or authorized customer does not wish to receive unsolicited information or be contacted by the company, vendors, or affiliated agencies, they can follow the instructions provided in emails or directly contact AIMS Konsulting to opt out. 

Cookies.

Cookies are indeed an essential part of the web browsing experience, allowing websites to remember a visitor's preferences and actions over time. This functionality enables more personalized and efficient interactions with websites, such as keeping items in a shopping cart or staying logged in on a return visit. However, they also raise privacy concerns, as they can be used to track browsing activity across different sites. It's important for users to be aware of cookie policies and use privacy settings and tools to manage their online footprint.

Cookies usage.

Cookies are indeed a fundamental part of many websites, serving various functions such as remembering user preferences, shopping cart contents, and login status. They enhance user experience by making the interaction with the website more efficient and personalized. However, they also raise privacy concerns, which is why it's important for websites to provide clear information about their cookie usage and offer options for users to control their cookie preferences. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using https://aimskonsulting.com. Users should be aware of the balance between functionality and privacy when managing their cookie settings in their web browsers.

Usage of login information

AIMS Konsulting utilizes login data, such as IP addresses, ISPs, and browser types, not only to track user behavior and movement on the site but also to manage the website effectively and compile wide-ranging demographic insights. This information aids in discerning usage patterns, ensuring site security, and enhancing user experience.

Third party access to Personally Identifiable Information

AIMS Konsulting has established and will maintain partnerships and affiliations with various vendors. These vendors may be granted access to specific Personally Identifiable Information as required to assess the service eligibility of Authorized Customers. The collection or usage of this information by these vendors is not included within the scope of our privacy policy. Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information is mandated by law. We are obligated to reveal Personally Identifiable Information in response to a legal order, subpoena, or at the behest of law enforcement authorities. Additionally, we may disclose Personally Identifiable Information when it is deemed essential for the protection of our Visitors and Authorized Customers.

Secure storage of Personally Identifiable Information.

Our Site is committed to safeguarding your Personally Identifiable Information. Trained staff enforce our security policy, ensuring only select employees can access sensitive data via a secure password system. Regular audits of our security procedures are conducted to enhance protection. We employ encryption for high-risk data, like credit card and social security numbers, during internet transmission. Despite our diligent efforts to secure the site, we must note that electronic communications can be vulnerable, and we cannot assure absolute security against potential breaches.

Lastly, the right to withdraw consent at any time ensures that you remain in control of your personal data and how it's used. These rights are foundational to protecting your privacy and autonomy in the digital age.
