Privacy Policy - Summary
At Natural Intelligence, we are committed to protecting user privacy. Therefore, we have created and are maintaining an ongoing privacy compliance framework that enables users to access and exercise their privacy rights.
This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what options you have about certain uses. Key elements of our full privacy policy are summarized below for your convenience. However, the full version of our privacy policy is the legally binding one.
During your visit to our websites, we will collect information about your visit, your interaction with content, the site from which you came and the one to which you are headed, and some technical information about the device and system from which you are accessing the services.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your above rights, by denying you goods or services, charging you different rates, providing different quality of service, or suggesting different prices.

8. Information Security
We, and respective third-party services/affiliate entities implement data security systems and procedures to secure the information transmitted, processed and stored on the Site, our computer servers and systems. For example:
- The Site is encrypted by using SSL and so as any other information at transport
- We periodically review our information and data collection practices to ensure constant monitoring
- We use third party processing and serving services that implement various information security standards and certifications (at rest and transmission)
- We monitor and filter access to data when it comes to personnel in our organization
Security Limitations
Such systems and procedures reduce the risk of security breaches, but they do not provide absolute security, as there is no such thing when it comes to the world-wide network. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the Site and our servers are immune to unauthorized access to the information stored therein and to other information security risks.
9. Children's Privacy
The Site or the Services are not designed to attract users under the age of 18. Accordingly, we do not intend to collect Personal Information from anyone we know to be under 18.

If you believe that we might have any such information, please contact us through our contact form immediately.
