In general, EXPLORE collects information that your organisation already stores and that you provide to us. You may choose to provide information to EXPLORE, such as through importing your own information from third party websites, uploading files, video or audio calls.
EXPLORE will only collect Personal Data (such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address, employer name, employer address or products and operating systems you use) when it is voluntarily made available to us by you or your organisation.
We will use this information to provide EXPLORE services to you and your organisation. For example, we may allow you to share files you provide to use with other members of your organization.
We will also use this information to comply with your request for information. For example, if you request technical support assistance, we may ask who you are, which services you are using, and in what computer system environment you are using the services in order to respond to your request as efficiently and effectively as possible.
In addition, from time to time, we may refer to your Personal Data to better understand your needs and how we can improve our products and services. We may use that information to contact you.
We will not sell or otherwise transfer the Personal Data you provide to any third party unless:
We do not rent, sell or otherwise share information that we gather about our website visitors with outside parties. The bottom line is that all the information that you provide to us will remain with EXPLORE and/or its Agents, resellers, contractors and alliance partners.
We provide links to third party Internet sites strictly as a service to you. Your Personal Data is not shared with these third party Internet sites. However, EXPLORE is not responsible for the privacy practices of third party Internet sites. If you visit any third party Internet sites you should read the privacy policy of each Internet site that you visit.
We use information in aggregate form to track the total number of visitors to our websites, the number of visitors to each page of our websites, and the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers. No Personal Data is revealed to us in this process.
We will provide you with the opportunity to opt out of (1) any disclosure of your Personal Data to any third party that is not authorized to receive such data (e.g. our Agents); or (2) the use of that data for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected from, or subsequently authorized by you.
Some Personal Data is considered Sensitive Personal Data, such as any Personal Data that reveals race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, information that concerns health or sex life, and information about criminal or administrative proceedings and sanctions. We will not disclose Sensitive Personal Data to a third party that is not our Agent or use Sensitive Personal Data for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected from, or subsequently authorized by, you unless we have received your affirmative and explicit consent to do so (opt-in).

During the course of their services, the Agents may process Personal Data provided by EXPLORE, on its behalf and under its instruction. We will obtain assurances from our Agents that they will safeguard Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Upon request, we will provide you with reasonable access to the Personal Data that we hold about you except where the burden or expense of providing this access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than you would be violated by the provision of such access.
We will take reasonable steps to enable you to correct, amend or delete Personal Data related to you in our possession and control that is inaccurate or incomplete.
