This page describes how the site processes the personal data of users who visit it or who wish to access its services. Thinkalize Global operates in the field of open innovation. Among other things, the organisation offers services related to the development and distribution of innovative technologies.

It also provides support, enhancement, promotion and dissemination of technological and stylistic research. Moreover, Thinkalize Global offers the transfer of technologies (the “Services”) that are electronically accessible from www.thinkalizeglobal.com (the “Site”).

During the course of their normal operation, the computer systems and software procedures
used to operate this Website acquire personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols.

This information is not gathered for association with identified interested parties but it could, by its very nature, cause users to be identified through the processing and association of data held by third parties.

This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of computers used by users
who connect to the Site, the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) addresses of the requested
resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the
size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response
given by the server (success, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the operating system and the user’s computer environment.

This data is used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the Site, and to ascertain that it is functioning correctly. The data could be used to assess civil, criminal or administrative liability, in cases of crimes against the Site or third parties, for example.
