Privacy details
Portolano Privacy practices on the Web
Your privacy is important to Portolano. This statement discloses the information practices for Portolano Web sites, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared.
Personal information
In general, you can visit Portolano on the Internet without telling us who you are and without giving any personal information about yourself. There are times, however, when we or our partners may need information from you.
You may choose to give us personal information in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us information, such as your name and address or e-mail id, to correspond with you, to process an order, or to provide you with a subsc ription. You may give us your credit card details to buy something from us or a desc ription of your education and work experience in connection with a job opening at Portolano that you wish to be considered for. We intend to let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you; if you tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your wishes. If you give us personal information about somebody else, such as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that you have their permission to do so.
Using and Sharing Personal Information
The following paragraphs describe in more detail how Portolano may use your personal information and with whom we may share it. Depending on the type of Portolano Web site you are visiting, one or more of the paragraphs may apply. For example, if you order a product from a Portolano Web site, your information will be handled as described in such paragraphs as Fulfilling Your Transaction Request and Marketing Use.
Fulfilling your transaction request
If you request something from a Portolano Web site, for example, a product or service, a callback, or specific marketing materials, we will use the information you provide to fulfill your request. To help us do this, we may share information, with others, for instance, other parts of Portolano, Portolano's Business Partners, financial institutions, shipping companies, postal or government authorities (for example, Customs authorities) involved in fulfillment. In connection with a transaction we may also contact you as part of our customer satisfaction surveys or for market research purposes.
Marketing Use
The information you provide to Portolano on certain Portolano Web sites may also be used by Portolano and selected third parties for marketing purposes. Before we use it, however, we will offer you the opportunity to choose whether or not to have your information used in this way.
Portolano Human Resources Web Sites (including Recruitment)
In connection with a job application or inquiry, whether advertised on a Portolano Web site or otherwise, you may provide us with information about yourself, such as a resume or curriculum vitae. We may use this information throughout Portolano and its related entities for the purpose of employment consideration or your inquiry. Except where you tell us not to, we will keep the information for future consideration.
Information for Business Partners
If you represent a Portolano Business Partner, you may visit a Portolano Web site intended specifically for Portolano Business Partners. We may use information provided on that site to administer and develop our business relationship with you, the Business Partner you represent, and Portolano Business Partners generally. For instance, this may involve using your information to send you details of Portolano Business Partner programs. It may also include sharing certain information with other Business Partners (subject to any confidentiality obligations that may exist), or Portolano customers or prospects. In connection with a particular transaction or program, we may also contact you as part of customer satisfaction surveys or for market research purposes.

If you represent a Portolano supplier, you may visit a Portolano Web site intended specifically for use by Portolano suppliers. We may use the information provided on that site in connection with entering into or performing a transaction with you. For example, this may include sharing information with other parts of Portolano, Portolano's Business Partners, customers, shipping companies, financial institutions, postal or government authorities involved in fulfillment. It may also be used to administer and develop our relationship with you, the supplier you represent and/or other Portolano suppliers generally.
