Privacy Policy

At WidePoint Corporation, we are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information you share with us.

WidePoint has established this Privacy Statement so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your personal information.

“Personal Information” means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address, and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit WidePoint’s Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.

Information Gathered

WidePoint gathers two types of information about users:

(1) Non-personally identifiable information

When visitors come to our website, Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet Protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; click-stream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our website and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.

WidePoint cannot and does not access specific IP addresses or use any information acquired via tracking technologies to personally identify its visitors.

Cookies

Some of our Web pages may utilize “cookies” and other tracking technologies. A “cookie” is a small text file placed on a user’s computer hard drive that may be used, for example, to collect information about website activity. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to recall Personal Information previously indicated by a Web user. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them.

Our website, https://www.widepoint.com (hereinafter: “the website”) uses cookies and other related technologies (for convenience all technologies are referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are also placed by third parties we have engaged.

Cookies allow WidePoint to serve you better and more efficiently, and to personalize your experience at WidePoint’s website. Nevertheless, you should be able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your Web browser. For more information on how to do so, please refer to the documentation accompanying your browser.

We do not sell or share personal information to third parties for monetary consideration. However, we respect and understand that you may want to be sure that your personal information is not being sold or shared. You may request that we exclude your personal information from such arrangements, or direct us to limit the use and disclosure of possible sensitive personal information, by contacting us via the methods below under “How to exercise your privacy and rights”. You may need to provide additional identifying information before we can process your request.

The WidePoint website may contain links to other Internet websites, including co-branded or other affiliated sites which may or may not be owned or operated by WidePoint. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites, including such sites’ use of any information (such as IP numbers, browser types or operating systems) collected when visitors to the WidePoint website click through to those sites. Even though such information might not identify you personally, we strongly encourage you to become familiar with the privacy practices of those sites.

(2) Information Submitted via a Contact Form:

The contact forms on our website may require you to voluntarily submit personal information to us in order to help us meet your needs as a WidePoint customer. This information may include your first and last name, name of the company you work for, your phone number, and email address.

Notice: WidePoint does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on WidePoint’s behalf unless such transfer is legally required.

Choice: You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to WidePoint. The notice we intend to provide, where WidePoint collects Personal Information on the web, should help you to make this choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you can still visit most of WidePoint’s websites, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you, such as our services for agents and customers. If you choose to have a relationship with WidePoint, as a customer, agent or through a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship.

Security: Wherever your Personal Information may be held within WidePoint or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Access/Accuracy: To the extent that you do provide us with Personal Information, WidePoint wishes to maintain accurate Personal Information. Where we collect Personal Information from you on the web, our goal is to provide a means of contacting WidePoint should you need to update or correct that information. If for any reason those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your Personal Information to [email protected] and we will make reasonable efforts to incorporate the changes in your Personal Information that we hold as soon as practicable.

Third Party Services: Third parties may provide certain services on WidePoint’s behalf. WidePoint may provide information, including Personal Information, which WidePoint collects on the Web to third-party service providers to help us deliver services, programs, products, and information. Service providers are also an important means by which WidePoint maintains its website and mailing lists. WidePoint will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on WidePoint’s behalf. You may choose to opt out of our mailing lists.

WidePoint does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on WidePoint’s behalf, unless such transfer is legally required. Similarly, it is against WidePoint’s policy to sell Personal Information collected online without consent.

While WidePoint encourages all third parties to adhere to our policies regarding your privacy and to otherwise handle personal information in a responsible manner, we cannot and do not assume any responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties, including the manner in which they use information received either from WidePoint or independently. Nevertheless, in the event that you encounter any third party associated with, or who claims association with, WidePoint who you feel is improperly collecting or using information about you, please contact [email protected]; we will be happy to forward your message to the third party.

Commitment: We are committed to protecting privacy. Protecting your privacy online is an evolving area, and WidePoint’s website is constantly evolving to meet these demands.

Other

Your Consent: By using this website, you consent to the terms of our Privacy Statement and to WidePoint’s processing of Personal Information for the purposes given above as well as those explained where WidePoint collects Personal Information on the Web.

How to exercise your privacy and rights

How to make a request to remove your information from our records

At WidePoint, member and consumer privacy are very important to us. As a result, before we process any requests we first must verify your identity and ensure we have enough information. To exercise rights described throughout the Privacy Policy, you must submit to us a “verifiable request by:

• Contacting us via the information provided below under “Contact Us”.
• providing sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and
• describing your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
• You can submit a maximum number of 2 requests over a period of 12 months.

If you choose to exercise your privacy rights, you will not receive discriminatory treatment or a lesser degree of service from us.

How and when we are expected to handle your request

Unless otherwise specified in this Policy, the following applies for timing and expectations around how and when we will respond to your requests. If our response to a privacy request is restricted by an agreement between us and your Employer, we will process your requests in accordance with that agreement and related authorization. Otherwise, the following applies.
To the best of our ability, we will confirm receipt of your verifiable request within 10 days and provide information about how we will process your request.

For CCPA-related requests, we will respond to your request within 45 days of its receipt, and for all other requests within 30 days of receipt. Should we need more time, we will explain to you the reasons why, and how much more time we need. In this regard, please note that we may take up to 90 days to fulfill your request.

Our CCPA disclosures will cover the preceding 12 month period.
Should we deny your request, we will explain to you the reasons behind our denial.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless such request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. In such cases, we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act on the request. In either case, we will communicate our choices and explain the reasons behind it.
