TABLE OF CONTENTS
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Website, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Website or otherwise when you contact us.
The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Website, the choices you make and the products, features, and Services you use. The personal information that you disclose to us may include, but is not limited to, the following: name, title, contact information (such as email address), company name, country or region where the Services are being used or from where the Website is being visited, and secondary log-in information (such as a Google, Apple, or Microsoft account).
All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.
We automatically collect certain information when you use any Services and/or visit, use, or navigate the Website, including subdomains. This information may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, and location. We may also collect information about how and when you use our Website and Services, including information about how you run simulations. Such technical information may include, but is not limited to, information about component types, information about optimized parameters, grid configuration, diagnostic and usage data, object identifiers, and other technical information. These pieces of automatically-collected information are primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Website and for our internal analytics, reporting, and diagnostic purposes. Flexcompute does not collect users’ specific geometric arrangements, coordinates, parameter values, or field data.
Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.
We may disclose your information under one or more of the following bases:
In any of the above cases, we will disclose only the information necessary to achieve the objective(s).
We may also collect, process, and/or analyze technical data, including data about simulations as described above, for the purposes of building, maintaining, or improving products and Services; troubleshooting problems; better understanding users’ experiences and needs; and ensuring security for all users. Such technical data will be analyzed and reported on an aggregated, anonymized, and/or de-identified basis and, subject to the above enumerated bases, users’ individual usage details with respect to the Website or Services will not be disclosed to third parties in a way that allows that user to be identified.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information.
Our servers are located in the United States. Please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information, in the United States and other countries.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, your country or region may have different data protection laws or requirements. We will take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.
We will keep your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete such information or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
We do not knowingly solicit personal information or data from individuals under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly market to such individuals. By using the Website, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Website. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected without the consent of a parent or guardian, we will deactivate the relevant account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from individuals under 18 years of age, please contact us at info@flexcompute.com.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to contact your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find contact details at http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm (for Switzerland: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html).

Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you may choose to adjust your browser settings to remove cookies and/or reject cookies. If you choose to do so, this may affect certain features or Services of our Website.
Opting out of email marketing: You can unsubscribe from our marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send or by contacting us using the contact information provided below. You will then be removed from the marketing email list, but we may still communicate with you, for example, to send service-related emails that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. We reserve the right to revise this privacy notice in the event that a standard for online tracking is adopted in the future.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.
If you are under 18 years of age, reside in California, and have a registered account with the Website (in connection with the consent of a parent or guardian), you have the right to request removal of unwanted data that you may have publicly posted on the Website.

If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.

Online retargeting is another form of online advertising that allows us and some of our advertising partners to show you advertising based on your browsing patterns and interactions with a web site away from our web sites.
We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.
We may also partner with selected third-party website analytics vendors, such as Google Analytics, Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting, Google Marketing Platform integration, HubSpot, Adobe Analytics, AWS, Azure and others, to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Website through the use of first party cookies and third-party cookies, to, among other things, analyze and track users’ use of the Website and better understand online activity. By accessing the Website, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these third-party vendors. You are encouraged to review their privacy policies and contact them directly for responses to your questions. If you do not want any information to be collected and used by tracking technologies, you can contact the third-party vendor or use tools provided by the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) (https://optout.networkadvertising.org) or Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) (https://digitaladvertisingalliance.org).
If you wish to opt-out of Google Analytics and Advertising, Google has made available a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/).
Some of the technologies described above—in particular, remarketing and interest-based advertising cookies—may constitute a “sale” or “share” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. If you are a California resident, you may opt out of this sharing at any time by enabling the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal in a supported browser, which we will honor as a valid opt-out request. Opting out will not affect your ability to use the Website or Services, though some personalization features may no longer be available to you. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals we know to be under 16 years of age.
This section describes the categories of cookies and similar tracking technologies used on the Website, consistent with Section 13 above.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can adjust your browser settings to remove or reject cookies, though doing so may affect certain features of the Website. For example, in Google Chrome you can manage cookies at chrome://settings/cookies.
These cookies are required for the Website and Services to function—for example, maintaining your login session, authenticating users, and preventing fraud—and cannot be disabled through browser cookie tools without affecting core functionality.
These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make, such as language preference, and to provide maintained or improved product features, including information relating to your session.
These cookies—for example, those set by Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Adobe Analytics—help us understand how visitors interact with the Website, including which pages are visited and for how long, so we can improve content and performance.
These cookies (for example, those set through Google Marketing Platform and the Google Display Network) build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertising on other websites. These cookies may be considered a “sale” or “share” of information under California law; see “Your California Privacy Choices” in Section 13 above for how to opt out.
These cookies enhance your experience by providing personalized content and features.
