Parallel is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement sets forth our current privacy practices with regard to the information we collect when you or your computer interact with our website. By accessing www.thinkparallel.com, you acknowledge and fully understand Parallel’s Privacy Statement and freely consent to the information collection and use practices described in this Website Privacy Statement.
This Privacy Statement applies only to information collected by this Website. This Website may contain links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by us. Since we do not have direct control over the policies or practices of third parties, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of those sites. We recommend and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of third parties before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction with such parties.
Parallel collects certain information from and about its users three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies:
a. Web Server Logs
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
Your Internet protocol address.
The kind of browser or computer you use.
Number of links you click within the site.

b. Use of Cookies
Parallel may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.
Parallel reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.
c. Personal Information of Users
Visitors to our website may be permitted to register to subscribe to the Parallel newsletter, download reports including the Parallel Case Studies or to apply for available positions at Parallel. When you register, we will request some personal information such as name, address, email, and other relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide services and support. We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:
To protect ourselves, our customers or our vendors from liability or to defend our rights, including investigations of fraud or misconduct.
To third parties who have agreed in writing to maintain such information in confidence and use such information solely in performance of services to us.
To respond to legal process or comply with law, including subpoenas.
To entities under common ownership or control with us or to our owners, or
In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
We use commercially reasonable procedures to protect the personal information that we collect from you against loss, theft and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. We have developed and implemented and continue to maintain and monitor a written information security program applicable to all records containing personal information. This security program is appropriate to the size, scope and type of our business, the resources available to us, the amount of stored data and the need for security and confidentiality of the personal information we store. No security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the security during transmission to us of the information you supply over the Internet. You can help us by taking precautions to protect your personal information when you are on the Internet and only disclose information that you want made public. Change your passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers and make sure to use a secure web browser.
For the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, personal information may be transferred to, processed, stored and accessed by us, our affiliates and third parties in the United States and in other jurisdictions where we or they operate. Courts and other authorities in these jurisdictions may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to access your personal information. By using the Website, you consent to this transfer, processing, storage and access of your personal information in and/or outside of the jurisdiction in which you reside.
