7Sigma Data Privacy

Overview

At 7Sigma, our customers’ trust is important to us.  We know that the security and integrity of customer data is important to our customers’ values and operations. That is why we keep it private and safe. This 7Sigma Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes 7Sigma’s privacy practices for our software, services, and apps that link to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy also details our privacy practices related to 7Sigma's marketing, advertising, and company events.

7Sigma provides best-in-class carrier and ISP solutions. We do this in two ways: through our software and through consulting and advisory services. In this Privacy Policy, we will refer to the 7Sigma software tools collectively as our "Software”. We will refer to our consulting and advisory services as our “Services”.  Because we market and sell our offerings, we also utilize various other tools, including a website, social channels, sales conferences, emails and newsletters, and other promotional and advertising practices.  We will refer to all marketing, sales, promotional and advertising practices collectively as our “Communications.”

Generally, the information that 7Sigma collects includes personal information “Personal Information”, which may include any information relating to a person or business, and data that may be stored on or loaded into our systems as part of the services we provide “Service Data”, which may include customer information stored on or viewed through our software and services. 

 
Personal Information

For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
