This Privacy Policy describes the policies and procedures of Noon Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we”, “our” or “us”) on the collection, use and disclosure of your information on https://www.noon.energy/ (the “Site”) and any services, features, content or applications we offer on the Site or through our owned and operated social media accounts (collectively with the Site, the “Services”).  We receive information about you from various sources, including: (i) if you complete and submit information via the “Get in Touch” box; (ii) your use of the Services generally; and (iii) from third party websites and services.  When you use the Services, you acknowledge that your information will be collected, transferred, manipulated, stored, disclosed and used as described in this Privacy Policy.

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 including as it applies in the UK pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Agreement 2018 (collectively the “GDPR”), Noon Energy Inc. is the data controller and is responsible for your Personal Information.

​

What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers the treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) expressly provided by you to us by filling out the “Get in Touch” box or gathered by us when you are using or accessing the Services. 

The term “Personal Information” as used in this Privacy Policy includes any information that enables us to identify you, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as your name, identification number, location data, online identifier or one or more factors specific to you.
 

What Information Do We Collect and How Do We Use It?

The information we gather enables us to personalize, improve and continue to operate the Services.  In connection with certain aspects of the Services, we may request, collect and/or display some of your Personal Information.  We collect the following types of information from our users.
 

“Get In Touch” Box Information:

If you complete and submit the Get in Touch section of our Website, you could choose to provide information that would be Personal Information, such as personal identifiers that include your name, your email address, and your phone number.  We may from time to time contact you using that Personal Information unless you subsequently tell us not to.  For example, we may from time to time list open positions, and if you choose to contact us via “Get in Touch” box and state that you have interest in one of our open positions, we may in response contact you to gather more Personal Information in order to determine if there is a fit  including employment-related information, such as, educational background, work history, and interests.  You acknowledge that this information may be personal to you, and by completing the “Get in Touch” box, providing Personal Information to us, you will not be anonymous.  We may use your contact information to contact you and to send you information about Noon Energy and our products and services and our open positions, but only when we feel such information is important, or where you have given your consent (if required under applicable law). Should we do so, you may unsubscribe from these messages by following the “Unsubscribe” or “Manage Email Preferences” link at the bottom of any promotional email.

We will store your Personal Information in a form that permits us to identify you for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which the Personal Information is processed.  We store your Personal Information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and rights, or if it is not technically and reasonably feasible to remove it.  Otherwise, we will seek to delete your Personal Information within a reasonable timeframe or earlier upon request.
 

Information From Other Sources:

We may also collect Personal Information from other sources, such as data that is publicly available or collected from other third parties. Personal Information obtained from such other sources will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
 

IP Address Information and Other Information Collected Automatically:

• We may automatically receive and record information from your web browser when you interact with the Services, including your IP address and information obtained from cookies and similar technologies (placed with your consent, where required by applicable law).  This information is used for fighting spam/malware and also to facilitate collection of data concerning your interaction with the Services (e.g., what links you have clicked on).

• Generally, the Site collects usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to the Site.  We may use this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, but not in a manner that would identify you personally.  This type of aggregate data enables us and third parties authorized by us to figure out how often individuals use parts of the Services so that we can analyze and improve them.

• We may collect some device-specific information if you access the Services using a mobile device.  Device information may include but is not limited to unique device identifiers, network information, and hardware model, as well as information about how the device interacts with our Services.

We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us.  We use this confirmation to improve our customer service.
 

Information Collected Using Cookies and Similar Technologies:

• Cookies are pieces of text that may be provided to your computer through your web browser when you access a website.  Your browser stores cookies in a manner associated with each website you visit.  We use cookies (with your consent, where required by applicable law) to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit the Site and otherwise use the Services through the Internet.  The cookies we use on the Site are as follows:

  • Session cookies: These temporary cookies expire and are automatically erased whenever you close your browser window.  We use session cookies to grant our users access to content and to enable actions they must be logged in to do.

  • Persistent cookies: These usually have an expiration date in the distant future and remain in your browser until they expire or you manually delete them.  We use persistent cookies to better understand usage patterns so we can improve the site for our customers.  For example, we may use a persistent cookie to associate you with your email or internet address or to remember your choices on the Site.

  • Third party cookies: We permit limited third parties to place cookies through the Site to provide us with better insights into the use of the Site or user demographics.  These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time when you use our Site.  For example, we utilize analytics provided by Wix, our webhost and website platform provider, to analyze usage patterns of the Site.  Wix analytics generates a cookie to capture information about your use of the Site which Wix uses to compile reports on website activity for us.  Wix may use a portion of your IP address to identify their cookie, but this will not be associated with any other data held by Wix.

• Our cookies do not, by themselves, contain Personal Information, and we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information to tell us who you are.  As noted, however, we do use cookies to identify that your web browser has accessed aspects of the Services and may associate that information with your email address if you provide it to us via the “Get in Touch” box.

• In addition to the ability to update your preferences via our Site, most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. 

• We may also permit third parties to place cookies through the Site, as indicated above, to perform analytic or marketing functions.  Contractually, these third parties are required to use this information only for our benefit, although we cannot actually control what they do with your information.

Aggregate Information

We collect statistical information about how both unregistered and registered users, collectively, use the Services, for example the number of people that applied for a role and/or the fact that the role was filled (“Aggregate Information”).  Some of this information is derived from Personal Information.  This statistical information is not Personal Information and cannot be tied back to you or your web browser.
