Privacy Policy 

Last updated: 4 October 2021
Effective 4 October 2021

Interaction with the iris3.net site may involve the collection of user data, as described below.

The site does not sell your information.

The information that users provide— We collect two main types of information. The first is information that you voluntarily provide when you register for updates, newsletters and event alerts. This may also include personal data such as name, postal code, e-mail address, postal address and demographic information. The second type of information is collected anonymously as aggregated data, such as traffic patterns on the site (including the number of users visiting the site daily).

Automatic collection — When you interact with us through our site, we receive and store certain information about usage patterns. We may store this information and this information may be placed in a database that is owned and operated by affiliates, representatives or service providers. The domain owner can use this information and group it with others to track, for example, the total number of users visiting their site.

Aggregate Information — Aggregate information, such as information about the pages that are visited, is collected by various means. One of these uses the IP address, which is a number that is automatically assigned to the user’s computer whenever the user connects to the Internet. Web servers, that is, computers that “serve” web pages to users, automatically identify users’ computers through the IP addresses that mark them. When a user requests a page from our site, our servers register his/her IP address. The iris3.net site does not link the IP addresses to anything that identifies the person, so that although they are recorded, the user session remains anonymous to us. IP addresses are recorded for system management purposes only. In our constant effort to understand and best serve the users of our website, we can carry out research on the demographic characteristics, interests and behavior of our users, based on the information collected. This research may be conducted and analyzed on an aggregate and anonymous basis, and the aggregated data used may be shared with our affiliates, our representatives and our members. Aggregated user statistics can be disclosed to explain our goals, events and services to current and potential users, as well as to third parties for other lawful purposes.

The use of cookies

iris3.net uses cookies to automate the process of connecting to certain areas of the site. A cookie is a small data file stored on the user’s computer that contains a unique user identification number, which is randomly assigned. By recognizing this identification number, the site may automatically provide the user with the personalized content that the user has requested. Cookies can neither read any other files on your computer nor damage your computer. Most browsers are designed to automatically accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to reject cookies or warn you when cookies are sent. Cookies can be disabled by changing your browser settings. Further information on how to disable cookies can be found on the website of your Internet browser provider.  iris3.net may use the analysis tools of third-party websites such as Google Analytics, and others, that use cookies to collect certain information regarding the use of our website. In addition, some of the third-party analytics tools we use also direct “tracking pixels” to data logs, such as counting emails that are opened. Users interested in knowing how their information is managed can review the Privacy Policies of the aforementioned analysis tools.
