Privacy policy

This policy explains how MANIQ Systems (“MANIQ,” “we,” “us”) handles personal information collected through maniqsystems.com (the “Site”) and when you contact us. It does not cover information handled under a separate agreement, such as a supplier contract or a nondisclosure agreement.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you use our contact form or email us, we collect what you provide, such as your name, work email, organization, the topic you choose and your message. If you apply for a role or offer to supply us, we collect the details you include, such as a résumé, links or company information.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our website host and analytics tools collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the referring page and the time of your visit. We use it in aggregate to understand how the Site is used.

We don’t knowingly collect sensitive personal information, and we ask that you don’t send it to us through the Site.

How we use information

• To respond to your inquiry and keep a record of our correspondence

• To evaluate potential partnerships, supplier relationships, investment discussions and job applications

• To operate, secure, maintain and improve the Site

• To comply with our legal obligations, including export control and sanctions screening

• To protect our rights, property and safety, and those of others

How we share information

We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share it only in these cases:

• With service providers that host the Site, provide analytics or handle our email and records, who must protect it

• With our professional advisors, such as lawyers and accountants

• When required by law, regulation, legal process or a lawful request from a government authority

• In connection with a financing, merger, acquisition or sale of all or part of our business

• With your consent or at your direction

Cookies and analytics

We don’t use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Our cookie policy describes the limited technologies the Site does use.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes above, such as the length of a business conversation and a reasonable period afterward, unless the law requires or allows us to keep it longer. We then delete or de-identify it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No website or email is completely secure, so please don’t send confidential, proprietary or export-controlled information through the Site.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you. Depending on where you live, including certain U.S. states, the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area, you may have more rights, such as data portability, objecting to or restricting processing, or appealing our decision on your request. To make a request, email contact@maniqsystems.com. We may need to verify your identity first, and we won’t discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Because we don’t sell or share personal information for advertising, we don’t change our practices in response to Do Not Track signals. Where the law requires, we treat Global Privacy Control signals as a valid opt-out request.

If you’re in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we process your information where it’s necessary for our legitimate interests in responding to you and running our business, to take steps you request before entering into a contract, to comply with the law, or with your consent. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

International visitors

We’re based in the United States, and the Site is operated from the United States. If you contact us from another country, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those where you live.

Children

The Site is meant for business audiences and isn’t directed to children under 16. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll post the new version on this page and change the updated date at the top.
