Projé understands that your privacy is important to you and is committed to safeguarding the confidentiality and privacy of the information entrusted to it.

This Privacy Policy describes how Projé handles and protects your information in connection with its consulting services, healthcare solutions, strategic communications and technology services. It is intended for users in the United States and is governed by applicable U.S. federal and state law.

Scope of this Policy

The scope of this policy includes all potential and existing client information captured as part of Projé’s activities related to communication, pre-sales, and delivery of Projé services.

When do we collect information?

Projé may collect information about you if:

  • you use our website;
  • you enquire about, or engage Projé to provide, its Services (either in direct capacity, or as a representative for your employer or client);
  • the use of the information is reasonably necessary to provide those Projé services;
  • you apply for a position with Projé;
  • you attend a Projé hosted or sponsored event or webinar; or
  • you contact us with any other inquiry, complaint or notice.

What types of information are collected and what do we use it for?

The following is a summary of the types of information we collect, and the purposes for which that information is used.

Website Users. Projé collects your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and any other personally identifiable information which you voluntarily provide as “comments” when you submit an enquiry through the “Contact Us” tool. Projé also collects other background information about you in connection with career-related inquiries that you submit through its website.

Projé’s Former, Current and Prospective Clients. If you submit an enquiry to Projé about our Services (either over the website, or by emailing, telephoning or meeting with one of our colleagues), then we will capture information such as your name, job title and contact information in order to respond to your enquiry.

If you attend a Projé event or webinar, or if you associate with a Projé colleague at, for example, an industry event, then Projé may collect basic personal information, such as contact details, which you voluntarily provide (for example, by filling in a form or handing over a business card) in order to facilitate your participation in the event, and for the management of our relationship with you as an actual or prospective client.

If you or the organization you are associated with becomes a Projé client, then we may use your personal information in order to:

  • carry out “Know Your Client” checks and screening prior to starting a new engagement;
  • carry out client communication, service, billing and administration; and
  • deal with client concerns;
  • send our clients company news and updates, know-how, promotional material and other marketing communications;
  • invite our clients to events (and arrange and administer those events);
  • many of our Services involve the capture and analysis of client information. In the majority of cases, client information is provided to us in strict confidence, subject to restrictive undertakings on its use / disclosure.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to provide and improve our Services, respond to your inquiries, manage our client and business relationships, carry out client on-boarding and administration, send communications relevant to you, and meet our legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.

Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties

Projé will not disclose your information to third parties other than as described in this Privacy Policy unless Projé has your permission or is required or permitted by law. Projé may share such information with its contractors and consultants engaged by Projé to provide services. These contractors and consultants have entered into a written agreement with Projé which addresses the protection of your information.

Do Not Sell or Share

Projé does not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose information only to service providers and contractors who support our operations under written agreements, or where required or permitted by law.

Information Security

Projé through its IT vendor has reasonable technical safeguards, security policies and procedures in place to protect client and personal information from unauthorized loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Measures we take include placing confidentiality requirements on our staff members and service providers, limiting access to your information on a “need to know” basis, and providing training to all Projé personnel. We also maintain comprehensive policies addressing data incident response protocols. Our IT Security Program is audited on a regular basis.

Retention of your Information

Projé retains your information for the period of time required for the purposes for which it was collected, any compatible purposes which we subsequently establish, or any new purposes to which you subsequently consent. This period of time will usually be the period of your, or the relevant client’s, relationship or contract with Projé plus a period reflecting the length of time for which legal claims may be made following the termination of such relationship or contract. Some information (such as tax records and certain information required to demonstrate regulatory compliance) may need to be kept for longer.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, U.S. state privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and comparable laws in states including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Texas, may provide you with the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to know and access the personal information we have collected about you and how we use and disclose it.
  • Right to correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
  • Right to delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information (as noted above, Projé does not sell or share personal information).
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising any of your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@projeinc.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before completing your request. Where permitted by law, you may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.

Marketing

Projé may send you information related to its services, products and events that we believe are of interest to you. This information may be sent by post or via email.
