“websites”. The websites and the services are owned and operated by Diligent
Corporation and its group companies as listed here (collectively, "We", "Us", or
"Our"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share and secure the
personal information you provide via the websites or the services. It also
describes your choices regarding use, access and correction of your personal
information. Personal information is information, or a combination of different
types of information, that could reasonably allow you to be identified. For the
avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy does not supersede or replace any
additional or supplementary requirements that may be present in our customer
contracts.
 1. Personal information we use

You can generally visit our websites without actively entering any personal
information about yourself. However, in certain areas of this site, we may ask
you to contact us with questions or comments, or request more information about
our services. In these cases, we will collect personal information from you
directly as described below. We may be required to collect certain personal
information about you either by law or as a consequence of any contractual
relationship we have with you. Failure to provide this information may prevent
or delay the fulfillment of these obligations.  We will inform you at the time
your information is collected whether certain data is compulsory and the
consequences of the failure to provide such data. 1.1 Information we collect We
collect the following categories of information:
 * Personal details (e.g. name, title, employer, organization, or similar
   employment related information).
   * For example, we might collect this data from you or your organization to
     verify your identity and disclose it to other Diligent group companies.
 * Contact details (e.g. phone number, email address, postal address, phone
   number, or similar identifiers).
   * For example, we might collect this data from you or your organization to
     contact you about services you request and disclose it to our vendors who
     manage our files.
 * Additional commercial information about your organization (e.g. annual
   operating budget, number of board members, number of committee members)
   * For example, we might collect this data from you or your organization to
     compile reports, which is one of our business lines, and disclose it to
     recipients of our services.
 * Demographic information (e.g. age, education status, sex, protected
   classifications, diversity status).
   * For example, we might collect this data from your organization to
     supplement the information we collect from you, and disclose it to
     recipients of our services.
   * For our Director Network service, you have the option of designating
     whether you identify as racially diverse, as well as your gender identity.
     These fields are optional, and you can delete this information by
     contacting us using the details at the end of this Privacy Policy.
 * Information we collect automatically from you, including internet or other
   electronic network activity data collected using cookies and other device
   identifying technologies ('Cookies and Tracking Technologies'). Further
   information about our use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies is available
   in our Cookies Policy.
   * For example, we collect this data from you when you visit our site, so that
     we can enhance our site. We may disclose this data to our vendors.
 * Account information (such as user ID, contact details, answers to security
   questions, or similar identifiers); and
   * For example, we collect this data from you when you sign up on our site, so
     that we can identify you. We may disclose this data to our vendors.
 * Commercial information about your usage of our services or the websites (such
   as support requests, recordings of or information from phone calls with our
   sales or support teams, or information provided to us to resolve such support
   requests).
   * For example, we collect this data from you when you submit service requests
     or when engaging with our sales or support teams, to allow us to assist
     with your requests. We may disclose this information with vendors.

  Some of our services (such as our CGLytics and Diligent Director Network
services) include personal information that has not been directly collected from
you. For these services, we collect information from publicly available websites
and filings (such as publicly available proxy statements), our business partners
(such as associations of directors), and other users of the services (such as
those who seek to invite you to use the services). 1.2 Special categories of
personal data We collect sensitive categories of personal data (known under some
laws as sensitive personal information or protected classifications of data)
with your consent when you directly submit it to us through our services such as
Diligent Director Network. This information may include information revealing
racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religious or philosophical beliefs
or trade union membership, or data concerning health. We also process this kind
of information solely on behalf of our customers where our customers upload this
information to our services. We will not process such information for any
purpose other than as a provider of the services in accordance with the terms of
use for the relevant services.

within a reasonable timeframe. Personal information processed under this section
will be retained as long as needed to provide services to our customer. We will
