Effective Date: January 1, 2022.
This Privacy Notice (this “Notice”) describes the type of information that Profound Networks, LLC (“Profound,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects through your use of our website (profound.net) (the “Site”). This Notice does not apply to information collected about you through any other means, including information collected by third parties or through non-electronic or offline means.
This Notice covers:
By accessing or using the Site, you consent to our use of your Personal Information as described in this Notice. “Personal Information ” for purposes of this Notice is the information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable person.
We collect information from you in two ways. First, you may provide us with certain information when you submit forms or requests for information through the Site. Second, we collect certain information automatically as you use the Site.
We may collect Personal Information from you when you submit forms or request information through the Site. If you do not want us to collect this information, please do not provide it. We directly collect the following types of information that you provide to us:
We (or service providers on our behalf) may use certain technologies to automatically collect information from you when you use the Site. Information that may be collected may include, without limitation:
We do not store or retain this information, nor will our technologies track any return visits to the Site or information regarding your use of other websites or activities on other websites; rather, the information we automatically collect is immediately discarded following your visit to the Site.
Unlike a “cookie,” our technologies do not store a file on the user’s computer; thus, clearing your cache and/or deleting cookies will not prevent our ability to automatically collect the information described in this section. In order to disable our technologies, please contact us at the following link: optout@profound.net. Please note that If you change computers or install a new browser, we will no longer know you have opted out, so you will need to opt-out again.
Your Internet browser and mobile device may allow you to adjust your browser settings so that “do not track” requests are sent to the websites you visit. IF YOU DO NOT WANT US TO AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT INFORMATION FROM YOU WHEN YOU USE THE SITE, EITHER NOW OR FOR FUTURE BROWSING SESSIONS, REFRAIN FROM USING THE SITE. WE DO NOT CURRENTLY RESPOND TO DO NOT TRACK (DNT) SIGNALS.
We may use information collected from or about you for any of the following purposes:
We may share the Personal Information we collect in connection with the Site with third parties, as described below:
We may share your Personal Information with third parties who provide third party services or information through the Site.
We may share your Personal Information with our third party distributors, vendors, suppliers and other service providers who provide services to us or on our behalf, such as operating and supporting the Site, website developers, hosting service providers, auditors, performing marketing or consulting services, and assisting us with the preparation and mailing of our business and marketing communications and with processing and fulfillment functions. These third party service providers may use your Personal Information for their own marketing purposes.
We may share some or all of your information with our subsidiaries and corporate affiliates, joint venturers, or other companies that are or may become under common control with us. We will require these entities to comply with the terms of this Notice with regard to their use of your information.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of our assets, any user information owned or controlled by us may be one of the assets transferred to third parties. We reserve the right, as part of this type of transaction, to transfer or assign your Personal Information and other information we have collected from users of the Site to third parties. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, or as otherwise agreed to by you, the use and disclosure of all transferred user information will be subject to this Notice. However, any information you submit or that is collected after this type of transfer may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor entity.
We may disclose your information to government authorities or third parties if:
We may share aggregate or de-identified information without restriction.
We provide the opportunity to opt out of receiving communications from us and our partners at the point where we request information about you. In addition, you may unsubscribe or opt out of receiving communications from us by clicking the unsubscribe link on any email marketing communication you receive.
You may also opt-out of our automatically collecting information from you, as described above.
We have implemented commercially reasonable measures designed to secure your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. However, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. You acknowledge that: (a) the limitations of the Internet are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of information and data exchanged between you and us cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party. Profound has no responsibility or liability for the security of information transmitted via the Internet.
Under California law, organizations are required to provide residents of the State of California access to a privacy policy that gives consumers a choice in the use of certain personal information by third parties for marketing purposes.
If you are a California resident interested in exercising your third party disclosure choices, please send us a request to opt-out using the following email address: privacy@profound.net. You may alternatively contact us via postal mail at:
All postal requests must be labeled “California Privacy” on the envelope, post card or subject line. For all requests, please include your name, street address, city, state and zip code. We are not to be responsible for notices that are not labeled, are sent improperly, or do not have complete information.
If the processing of your Personal Information is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”), we have additional obligations and you have additional rights under the GDPR. These rights and obligations are as follows:
We will process your Personal Information in order to support our provision of the Site. The lawful bases for processing your Personal Information may include:

Depending upon the lawful basis of processing, you may have the right to withdraw consent or object to our processing of your Personal Information.

The Site is directed to users located in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States and choose to use the Site or provide your information to us, you should be aware that we may transfer your information to the United States and process it there. The privacy laws in the United States may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. Your consent to this Notice followed by your submission of information to us through or in connection with the Site represents your agreement to the transfer of your information to the United States.
We may change this Notice from time to time. If we decide to make a material change in this Notice, we will post it on this page. Your continued use of the Site after the posting of changes to this Notice will mean you accept these changes. In some cases, we may attempt to contact you through an email or other address you have provided, so we can give you choices about our using your information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection. If we make any material changes in our privacy practices that affect your Personal Information that is already in our possession, we will apply those changes to that older information only with your consent or as otherwise allowed by law.
