Pirros Privacy Policy
Last Updated Date: 03/01/2024
We understand that you are aware of and care about your own personal privacy interests, and we take that seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how Pirros Inc. (“Pirros”) collects, uses, and discloses information. We recognize that information privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and so we will from time to time update this Privacy Policy as we undertake new personal data practices or adopt new privacy policies.
1. Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to Pirros’s products and services, including applicable mobile and desktop applications (collectively, the “Services”), Pirros.com and other Pirros websites (collectively, the “Websites”) and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries, user conferences, etc.) you may have with Pirros. If you do not agree with the terms, do not access, or use the Services, Websites, or any other aspect of Pirros’s business.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with the Services through the Pirros platform (“Third-Party Services”), or any other third-party products, services, or businesses. In addition, a separate agreement governs delivery, access, and use of the Services (the “MSA”), including the processing of any data submitted through the Services (“Service Data”). The organization (e.g., your employer or another entity or person) that agreed to the MSA (“Customer”) controls its instance of the Services and any associated Service Data (the “Customer Instance”).
2. How we collect and use (process) your personal information
Pirros collects personal information about its website visitors and customers. With a few exceptions, this information is generally limited to:
- name
- job title
- employer name
- work address
- work email
- work phone number
We use this information to provide prospects and customers with services.
We do not sell personal information to anyone and only share it with third parties who are facilitating the delivery of our services.
From time to time, Pirros receives personal information about individuals from third parties. Typically, information collected from third parties will include further details on your employer or industry. We may also collect your personal data from a third-party website (e.g. LinkedIn)

We use this information to help us design our site to better suit our users’ needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, analyze trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences.
Pirros has a legitimate interest in understanding how members, customers and potential customers use its website. This assists Pirros with providing more relevant products and services, with communicating value to our sponsors and corporate members, and with providing appropriate staffing to meet member and customer needs.

These third parties do not use or have access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval. On occasion, Pirros engages third parties to send information to you, including information about our products, services, and events.
A list of our third-party sub-processors can be found here: www.pirros.com/privacy/subprocessors
We do not otherwise reveal your personal data to non-Pirros persons or businesses for their independent use unless: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) it’s in connection with Pirros-hosted and Pirros co-sponsored conferences as described above; (3) the information is provided to comply with the law (for example, compelled by law enforcement to comply with a search warrant, subpoena, or court order), enforce an agreement we have with you, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our employees or others; (4) the information is provided to our agents, vendors or service providers who perform functions on our behalf; (5) to address emergencies or acts of God; or (6) to address disputes, claims, or to persons demonstrating legal authority to act on your behalf. We may also gather aggregated data about our services and website visitors and disclose the results of such aggregated (but not personally identifiable) information to our partners, service providers, advertisers, and/or other third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
The Pirros website connects with third party services such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others. If you choose to share information from the Pirros website through these services, you should review the privacy policy of that service. If you are a member of a third-party service, the aforementioned connections may allow that service to connect your visit to our site to your personal data.
6. Transferring personal data to the U.S.
Pirros has its headquarters in the United States. Information we collect about you will be processed in the United States. By using Pirros’s services, you acknowledge that your personal information will be processed in the United States. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR. Pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR, Pirros is providing for appropriate safeguards by entering binding, standard data protection clauses, enforceable by data subjects in the EEA and the UK. These clauses have been enhanced based on the guidance of the European Data Protection Board and will be updated when the new draft model clauses are approved.
Depending on the circumstance, Pirros also collects and transfers to the U.S. personal data with consent; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of Pirros in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. Pirros endeavors to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with Pirros and the practices described in this Privacy Statement. Pirros also enters into data processing agreements and model clauses with its vendors whenever feasible and appropriate. Since it was founded, Pirros has received zero government requests for information.
