When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically. Depending upon your browser, device, settings, and cookie choices, this information may include:

  • your Internet Protocol address;

  • browser type and version;

  • device type and operating system;

  • approximate geographic location derived from your IP address;

  • the date and time of your visit;

  • pages viewed and the sequence in which they were viewed;

We do not use the website to collect names, postal addresses, payment information, financial information, health information, account credentials, or other sensitive personal information from ordinary website visitors.

‍ ‍

Website Analytics

We use StatCounter, a third-party website analytics service, to help us understand general website usage, including how many people visit the website, which pages are visited, how visitors reach the website, and what browsers and devices are used.

StatCounter may process technical information collected from your browser, including your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, time of access, and referring link.

We use this information to:

  • measure website traffic;

  • understand which pages and information are useful to visitors;

  • identify technical or navigation problems;

  • improve the structure and content of the website; and

  • protect and maintain the website.

We do not use StatCounter information to make decisions about particular individuals, deliver behaviorally targeted advertising, or sell personal information.

StatCounter processes information on our behalf subject to its own contractual terms and privacy practices. More information about StatCounter’s privacy practices is available through the StatCounter website. The current link as of this writing is: https://statcounter.com/about/legal/

Cookies

See our Cookie Policy for details on our use of cookies and your options for what cookies are used for your visits to this website.

‍ ‍

Legal Bases and Consent for Canadian Visitors

For visitors in Canada, we collect, use, and disclose personal information only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate under the circumstances.

Where consent is required, we request consent before placing optional analytics cookies. You may decline analytics cookies or withdraw your consent at any time through the Cookie Settings link.

Withdrawal of consent will stop future optional analytics collection through our website. It may not require deletion of aggregated or de-identified information that can no longer reasonably be associated with you.

‍ ‍

Disclosure of Information

We may disclose website information to:

  • StatCounter, for website analytics;

  • Squarespace and other providers that host, secure, maintain, or support the website;

  • professional advisers where reasonably necessary;

  • government authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law; and

  • another organization in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of our business, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

We do not sell personal information. We do not disclose website visitor information for cross-context behavioral advertising or permit third parties to use it to advertise to visitors across unrelated websites.

‍ ‍

International Processing

Tangent Systems is located in the United States, and our website is hosted and administered from the United States.

Squarespace, StatCounter, and other service providers may process information in the United States, Canada, or other countries in which they or their service providers operate. Information processed outside your province, state, or country may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement agencies, or government authorities in that jurisdiction.

‍ ‍

Text Messaging Privacy

If you communicate with us by SMS text message or consent to receive SMS text messages from us, we use your mobile telephone number and information associated with those communications only to communicate with you and provide the requested services.

We may share information as necessary with telecommunications carriers, messaging platform providers, and other service providers that assist us in delivering text messages.

Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. SMS opt-in information and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

If you have questions concerning our text messaging practices or this Privacy Policy, you may contact us using the contact information provided on this website.

‍ ‍

Data Retention

We retain identifiable website analytics information only for as long as reasonably necessary for website measurement, security, troubleshooting, and the other purposes described in this notice.

Our current retention period for identifiable or visitor-level StatCounter information isfive years. Aggregate statistics that no longer identify or distinguish an individual visitor may be retained for a longer period.

Our hosting and security providers may retain technical logs according to their own operational, security, contractual, and legal requirements.

‍ ‍

Safeguards

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect website information from unauthorized access, use, modification, loss, or disclosure.

No internet transmission, website, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

‍

Your Choices and Requests

You may:

  • decline optional analytics cookies;

  • withdraw a previous analytics-cookie selection;

  • block or delete cookies using your browser;

  • ask questions about our privacy practices; or

  • request access to or correction of personal information that we hold about you, where applicable law provides such a right.

Because website analytics data generally does not include your name or contact information, we may be unable to reliably identify data associated with a particular visitor. We will not request disproportionate additional personal information merely to associate you with otherwise pseudonymous website analytics data.

To submit a privacy question or request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. Tangent does not control the privacy, security, or data-handling practices of those websites. This Privacy Notice does not apply to information collected by third parties through their own websites or services.

If we make a material change affecting information already collected, we will provide any additional notice or obtain any additional consent required by applicable law.
