Information we collect about you

  • Social Media. Johnson Corner collects Personal Information to enable you to use online social media resources. If you register or log into your account through a third-party social media service, we will have access to some of your account information from that service, such as your name and other information in that account, as authorised by your settings on that service. You have the ability to disable the connection between our Services and your third-party social media account(s) at any time.
  • Third-Party Sources. We obtain Personal Information about you from your company, broker, parent or guardian, or from your host if you are a visitor or guest to one of our spaces. We also may receive Personal Information about you from publicly and commercially available sources and other third parties as permitted by law. We combine this information with Personal Information or other information that we receive from or about you, where necessary to provide the Services you requested.
  • Google and Other Third-Party Analytics. We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about the use of our Website Services (e.g., Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Website Services, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Website Services). Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date that you visit the Website Services, rather than your name or other identifying information. The information collected through the use of Google Analytics is not combined with your Personal Information. You can learn more about how Google Analytics collects and processes data and opt-out options at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. We also may use other third-party analytics tools to collect similar information about the use of certain online Services.
  • Mobile Computing. We provide websites and online resources that are specifically designed to be compatible and used on mobile computing devices. Mobile versions of the Services may require you to log in with an account. In such cases, information about the use of each mobile version of the website may be associated with user accounts. In addition, Johnson Corner enables you to download an application, widget, or other tools that can be used on mobile or other computing devices. Some of these tools may store information on mobile or other devices. These tools transmit Personal Information to Johnson Corner to enable you to access your user accounts and to enable Johnson Corner to track use of these tools. Some of these tools enable you to e-mail reports and other information from the tool.
  • We also collect certain information about you that is not Personal Information. This may include intellectual property or other company information you share with us or through the Services, in accordance with any applicable agreements between you or, if applicable, your company, including, for example, trademarks, logos, and other intellectual property you own.
  • In addition, we collect and/or generate anonymised and aggregated information from your use of the Services. We use anonymised and aggregated information in various ways, including to measure your interest in and use of portions or features of the Services. Anonymised or aggregated information is not Personal Information.

3. Use of Personal Information
How we use your Personal Information depends on your relationship with us. In general, we use your Personal Information to:

  • provide you with our products and Services, including online and offline events, and other materials you request;

  • analyse, better tailor, and improve our products and Services;
  • contact you about our Services, promotions, and sweepstakes, tailor and provide you with relevant advertising, enhance your engagement with us, and otherwise communicate with you; and

4. Sharing of Personal Information
We disclose your Personal Information in limited circumstances to Johnson Corner, our community, our service providers and advertisers, and other end-users, in order to provide our Services and to improve ways of working in our community. Where required by applicable law, we will only share your Personal Information with particular third parties with your consent.

  • Among Johnson Corner. We may share your Personal Information among Johnson Corner depending on where you are located and the Services that you use. Johnson Corner uses your information in accordance with this Policy.
  • Our Community. Our Services include online and offline member communities, forums, networks, and other features through which you may share information and connect with others. This includes:
  • When we receive information about you in connection with your relationship with our members or clients—for example, if you are a member’s employee or if you are visiting one of our clients—we may share your information with the member or client with which you have such a relationship, for example, by alerting the member or client that you have arrived to visit. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of our members or clients, or their third-party service providers, including those they integrate with our Services.
  • We also may share information about you with others in the community to provide you with certain features. For example, if you sign up for a mentoring program, we may share information about you with potential mentors.
  • We foster our community by creating profiles for members or permitting members to create their own profiles on member networks or forums. Typically, such a profile contains your name, the name of your company, and other information you provide or add to your profile (content, comments, photos, etc.). Depending on the Services you use, this profile might be created automatically and be accessible to other members of the network or forum.
  • Our Services may make member networks, chat rooms, forums, and/or other groups available to users. Remember that anyone can read, collect, or use your postings on a network or forum or in a chat room or group and we cannot be responsible for any unauthorised third party’s use of information that you publicly disclose online.
  • Service Providers. We rely on third-party service providers to perform a variety of services on our behalf. We take steps to ensure that these service providers act only in line with our instructions and on our behalf, or otherwise use Personal Information as described in this Policy.
  • Research / Survey Solicitations. From time to time, we will share your Personal Information to perform research (online and offline) via surveys on our behalf. Participation is voluntary, and we will use the information that we collect for research and reporting purposes, and to help us to improve the quality of our Services. We use the survey responses to determine the effectiveness of our Services, including the quality of our communications and our advertising and/or promotional activities. If you participate in a survey, your responses will be used along with other participants’ responses.
  • Third-Party Advertising Partners. We share limited Personal Information with third parties that serve our advertising online so that they can display our advertisements to individuals who may find the most relevant. We share this information in order to meet our legitimate interests in advertising our products effectively.
  • Other Parties When Required by Law and as Necessary to Provide and Protect Our Services. There may be instances when we disclose your Personal Information to other parties:
    • to provide you with the Services that you or your company request;
    • to comply with our legal obligations, including with auditors, lawyers, CPAs, financial consultants, or other consultants;
    • to comply with the law or respond to legal process or a request for cooperation by a government entity or law enforcement;
    • to detect, limit, and prevent fraud, or verify and enforce compliance with the policies governing our Services; or
    • to protect our rights, property, and safety or that of any of Johnson Corner, business partners, members, or employees; and
    • where otherwise required by law.
  • We share Personal Information in this way either to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject or to meet our legitimate interests in protecting our business, including from fraud and legal claims.
  • Other Parties in Connection with a Corporate Transaction. We disclose or share your information in the event that we purchase, sell, finance, transfer, or acquire all or a portion of a business or assets, such as in connection with a merger, or in the event of a bankruptcy reorganization or liquidation.
  • Other Third-Party Partners, With Your Consent. We may request your consent to share Personal Information about you with certain third parties so that they can provide you with special offers, promotional materials, and other materials that may be of interest to you. With your consent, we also use and publicize your name, likeness, and other personal characteristics and private information for advertising, promotion, and other commercial and business purposes.
  • We are active on social media (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and share information, images, and video with the public through unaffiliated external social media sites. We encourage you to read their policies. Remember that the social media sites are public, which means that anyone can see your posts, and your posts may even show up in search engine results.
  • While we will not edit comments, we may delete a comment from our page on a social media site if it, for example, does not relate to the post, promotes a commercial product or service, uses obscene, threatening, or harassing language, or if it is a personal attack or hate speech that targets or disparages any ethnic, racial, age, or religious group (or other legally protected groups), or if it advocates illegal activity or violates copyright laws.

5. Retention
Johnson Corner will retain your Personal Information for as long as you have a relationship with us, and for a period after your relationship with us has ended.
When determining how long this retention period will last, we take into account the length of time Personal Information is required to:

  • Continue to develop, tailor, upgrade, and improve our Services;
  • Maintain business records for analysis and/or audit purposes;
  • Comply with record retention requirements under the law;
  • Defend or bring any existing or potential legal claims; or
  • Address any complaints regarding the Services.

6. Information Security
The security of all Personal Information provided to Johnson Corner is important to us. Johnson Corner takes reasonable steps endeavouring to use appropriate technical or organisational measures to protect your Personal Information, including against unauthorised or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Johnson Corner strives to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to Johnson Corner, and you do so at your own risk. As such, we ask that you help us be safer together by implementing your own security controls, such as a strong password, not sharing your credentials or badge with others, logging out when you leave your desk, and other security best practices.
