7.       Security measures

The security of your personal information is of the utmost importance to us. We have implemented and we continually maintain a variety of technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, and damage. No measures, however, are 100% secure, and we recommend that you take steps to also prevent inadvertent access to your personal information.

8.       Retention

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as required by law or to satisfy any legal or reporting obligations, or as necessary to resolve disputes. To determine the appropriate retention period for your information, we consider applicable legal requirements, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of your information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your information, and the purposes for which we process your information. Our service providers will retain your information solely in accordance with our instructions and will not retain your information longer than the periods mentioned above.

9.       Use of “cookies” and other tracking technologies

The websites operated by Eficens use “cookies” – small text files stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Services, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to our Services are based on data such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, and information/documents downloaded. We use the information from cookies and other tracking technologies to improve our products and services as well as to provide services better tailored to our users’ needs.

We use service providers such as Google Tag Manager to help us provide advertisements that are tailored to you based on interests that you have expressed on our websites or elsewhere (“Interest-Based Ads”). Any advertisements served by Google, Inc., and affiliated companies may be controlled using cookies. These cookies allow Google to display ads based on your visits to these websites. Any tracking done by Google through cookies and other mechanisms is subject to Google’s own privacy policies. You may decide to opt-out of Google cookies by clicking

It is possible to switch off cookies by setting your browser preferences. Please consult your browser’s documentation for details. We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. In addition, most web browsers provide help pages relating to setting cookie preferences.

We also may place trackers, through service providers, in the emails that we send to you. These trackers help us determine whether the email was opened and viewed and assist us in evaluating the overall success of our marketing campaigns.

10.     Targeted advertising

We use network advertisers to serve advertisements on our Services and on non-affiliated websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). This enables us and these network advertisers to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs, and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These cookies and other technologies are governed by each entity’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these advertisers with information, including personal information, about you.

Users may opt out of many ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by NAI members.  To opt-out of data collection for interest-based advertising across mobile applications by participating companies, download the DAA’s AppChoices mobile application opt-out offering here:  https://youradchoices.com/appchoices.  Residents of the European Union may opt-out of online behavioral advertising served by the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance’s participating member organizations by visiting https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Services or on other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be effective. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at www.networkadvertising.org.

We may use third-party service providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Services. Presently, we use Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google LLC (“Google”) that tracks and reports site traffic. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page:

11.    Your California privacy rights

Residents of the U.S. state of California may have additional rights under local law.  If you are a resident of California, please see our California Privacy Addendum, available at: 

12.    Additional disclosures for data subjects in the EEA, the U.K. and Switzerland

Residents of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom and Switzerland may have additional rights under local law.  If you are a resident of one of these jurisdictions, please see our EEA Privacy Addendum, available at:  .

13.    How we respond to do not track signals

Some browsers incorporate a ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT) feature that, when turned on, signals to websites and online services that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to browser DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them except as specifically required by law.

14.    Links to other websites

Eficens’ and/or DiscoverCloud  websites may contain links to other websites run by other organizations. This Policy applies only to our Services‚ so we encourage you to read the privacy statements on the other websites you visit. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites even if you access them using links from our Services.

In addition, if you linked to our Services from a third-party site, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of that third-party site and recommend that you check the policy of that third-party site.

15.    Children

Eficens’ Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect or sell the personal information of children under 16.

16.    Changes to this Policy

The date provided above indicates the last time we made changes to this Policy. We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our personal information processing practices or in applicable laws.
