The information collected via cookies aides us in understanding when and how visitors discover our website, interact with our website and leave our website. We then proceed to use this information to:

  • improve the visibility and usability of our sites,

If you are a visitor interested in our corporate-oriented communication, this will also include your previous browsing on Thinking Cap websites. If you already have a business relationship with Thinking Cap, this will be combined with the pre-existing information we have about you stored in our Customer Relations Management platform.

The data we collect can also be used for marketing purposes. Information about the pages you have visited or the products you bought in the past helps us market more services to you in the future.

We also work with Google Adwords to provide targeted advertising to our customers. In practice, this means that when you visit our site or click an advertisement for Thinking products or services, your activity may be tracked through cookies.

Security

Thinking Cap takes your security very seriously.

We take many precautions to ensure that the information we collect is secure and inaccessible by anyone outside of our organization. These precautions include advanced access controls to limit access to that information to only internal personnel who require access to that information. We also use numerous security technologies to protect all data stored on our servers and related systems. Our security measures are regularly upgraded and tested to ensure they are effective.

We take the following specific steps to protect your information:

  1. Use internal access controls so only limited personnel have access to your information.
  2. Anyone with access to user information is trained on all relevant security and compliance policies.
  3. Servers that store visitor information are regularly backed up to protect against loss.
  4. All information is secured through modern security technologies like secure socket layer (SSL), encryption, firewalls, and secure passwords.

All access safeguards described above are in place to prevent unauthorized access by outsiders to information stored on or transmitted by our systems.
