This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for the TRUZEUS websites (collectively, the “Website”).
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally identifiable information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as used in Sweden privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, EXIT THIS PAGE AND DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITE.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
Generally, you are not required to provide your personal information to use our website. However you may be required to provide such when you submit or contact us for further information or participate in our Surveys.
Finally, TruZeus collects information that falls under two general categories: Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Non-Personally Identifiable information (Non- PII). PII consists of any information which can be used to specifically identify you as an individual, whereas non-PII consists of aggregate information or any information that does not reveal your identity.
We will only collect personal information, such as your name, telephone number or email address, when it is voluntarily submitted to us on the Site. We will use this information to comply with your request for information or as otherwise disclosed to you when you submit your information. From time to time, we may refer to that information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our services. We may use that information to contact you. We will not otherwise transfer the personal information you provide on the Site to any third party unless otherwise disclosed to you.
We, and/or our authorized Third Party Service Providers and Advertisers, may automatically collect this Non-Personally Identifiable information when you visit our Website through the use of electronic tools like Cookies and Web beacons or Pixel tags, as described below.
Cookies: Cookies are very small files placed on your computer, and they allow us to count the number of visitors to our website and distinguish repeat visitors from new visitors. We use “cookies” to keep track of some types of information while you are visiting our website or using our services. They also allow us to save user preferences and track user trends. We rely on cookies for the proper operation of our website; therefore if your browser is set to reject all cookies, the website will not function properly. Users who refuse cookies assume all responsibility for any resulting loss of functionality. We do not link the cookies to any PII.
Web Beacons: “Web beacons” (also known as “clear gifs” and “pixel tags”) are small transparent graphic images that are often used in conjunction with cookies in order to further personalize our website for our users and to collect a limited set of information about our visitors. We may also use web beacons in email communications in order to understand the behavior of our customers. We do not link the web beacons to any PII.
Log Files: Any time you visit any of our websites, our servers automatically gather information from your browser (such as your IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks) to analyze trends, administer the site, prevent fraud, track visitor movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information. For example, we may log your IP address for system administration purposes. IP addresses are logged to track a user’s session. This gives us an idea of which parts of our site users are visiting. We do not share the log files externally. We also collect information about you when you register or subscribe to any of our services.
Others: Demographic Data, Online Survey Data, Information Regarding Your Friends, Public Forums etc are still part of the information that we may collect and gather from you.
