At cohesionIB, Inc. (“Cohesion”, “us”, “we” or “our”), our vision is to empower real estate with true intelligence and to create better experiences for owners, managers, and tenants. We take the privacy of our customers and users seriously and have established this Privacy Policy to explain what we do with the information that is collected through our website, proprietary software-supported Smart Building Platform (the “Platform”), and our services (collectively, our “Services”).
We may revise and update this Privacy Policy from time to time at our sole discretion. Any updates are posted on our website, available at www.cohesionib.com. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. Your continued use of or access to the Services after we make any updates is deemed to be acceptance of those updates. You are encouraged to review the Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.
DO NOT ACCESS THE SERVICES OR COHESION’S WEBSITE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY OR COHESION’S TERMS OF USE.
We collect the following categories of information (which may include potentially personally identifiable data (“Personal Data”) from individuals who access our Services:
A company in a building that offers our Services may also provide us certain of the above information for its employees, so we can initiate bulk account registrations and invite the building’s tenants to access the Services. Those registrations may also be automated so that new accounts are created or removed as employees come and go from the company.
When you interact with Cohesion’s Services, we collect some information that cannot be specifically identified to you, to track aggregate statistics like the total number of users of our Services, the number of visitors to particular pages, etc. We may store that information at Cohesion or include it in databases owned by our affiliates, agents, or service providers. No Personal Data is used in this process. To the extent the use of our Services generates location data or other Personal Data (for example, if a user engages the Services to access a turnstile at their office), we may also strip it of Personal Data and use it as anonymous, aggregate information.
We use Personal Data for the purpose it was solicited—for example:
We use aggregated, non-identifiable information to:
We take your privacy very seriously. The Personal Data we collect is limited to what we need to provide our Services. We do not sell your information to third parties.
We generally do not disclose Personal Data in the normal course of our business. However, there may be certain circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data without further notice to you:
For legal proceedings, we may disclose Personal Data: (a) to a governmental authority as part of an investigation to determine Cohesion’s compliance with any applicable law, rule or regulation (including privacy laws, rules and regulations); (b) in response to a court order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful judicial or administrative proceeding; (c) as otherwise required under any applicable law, rule, or regulation; or (d) in good faith, to protect or defend the rights or property of Cohesion and our customers or users.
Your Personal Data will be kept for only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, taking into account our need to comply with contractual obligations, resolve customer service issues, comply with legal requirements, and provide new or improved services, unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law. We may retain Personal Data in anonymized and/or aggregated form for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, to improve our service, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.
We may use third party licensors to deliver the Services to you such as ActionFigure for transportation information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these third-party sites and providers. Rather, those sites are subject to their own rules and policies. This includes third party provider ActionFigure’s privacy policy available at https://www.iubenda.com/Privacy-Policy/446002/Legal.
We protect Personal Data through security safeguards that are consistent with the standards we use to protect our own confidential and proprietary information. These safeguards include the use of confidential passwords to access the Services and imposing confidentiality requirements on our employees. However, please bear in mind that no information is ever 100% secure, and we cannot and do not guarantee the security of your information.
If you are a user of our Services and have an account with us, you may log in to your Cohesion account to review, update, or delete Personal Data if you have been granted the authority to do so. However, you may need to keep your account active with minimal Personal Data if your place of work utilizes our Services as the only means of access to your space.
In the event you wish to have your account deleted and no longer access services through the application, please email Support@CohesionIB.com from the same email address you currently use to access the application with the subject “User Account Deletion” and include the following statement in the body of the email “Please delete the user account with the email address [enter email address] for user [First and Last name]”.
You may opt out from receiving future promotional or informational emails from us by following the instructions for unsubscribing in the emails we send to you. However, you cannot opt out of transactional emails related to your account registration or other transactions with us.
