This Privacy Notice describes SolasOS's policies and practices regarding its collection and use of your personal data, and sets forth your privacy rights. We recognize that information privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and so we will from time to time update this Privacy Notice as we undertake new personal data practices or adopt new privacy policies.

How we collect and use (process) your personal information
SolasOS 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, SolasOS 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).
Use of the SolasOS.com website
As is true of most other websites, SolasOS's website collects certain information automatically and stores it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of SolasOS's website, including a history of the pages you view.
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.
SolasOS has a legitimate interest in understanding how members, customers and potential customers use its website. This assists SolasOS 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.
Transferring personal data to the U.S.
SolasOS has its headquarters in the UK. Information we collect about you will be processed in the UK. By using SolasOS's services, you acknowledge that your personal information will be processed in the UK.
Pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR, SolasOS 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, SolasOS also collects and transfers to the UK personal data with consent; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of SolasOS in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. SolasOS 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 SolasOS and the practices described in this Privacy Statement. SolasOS also enters into data processing agreements and model clauses with its vendors whenever feasible and appropriate.
Since it was founded, SolasOS has received zero government requests for information.
