    To offer and provide a customized portal experience, Lenovo may use cookies to store and help track information about you. Where required by applicable law, Lenovo will acquire consent from you prior to using certain cookies during your Lenovo Partner Hub experience.

     

    The portal uses cookies, pixels, and related technologies (including via session replay analytics tools) that allow Lenovo to measure portal trends and traffic patterns, such as which areas of the Lenovo Partner Hub portal you visited, to, among other things (a) reduce user frustration and simplify portal navigation, (b) to help design the portal to make it more efficient and enjoyable, (c) to make recommendations to Partners and users, and (d) to prevent fraud. We also use two main types of functional cookies, which are classified as essential: (1) “JSESSIONID” cookie in order to record the session ID to link user with session, and (2) “GUEST_LANGUAGE_ID” cookie to record the user language ID.

    In order to provide the portal, we will share your information with Lenovo service providers to enable certain functionalities of the portal; for instance, we use AWS for hosting purposes. Lenovo also uses service providers to, among other things, enable content production, provide loyalty program functionality, and enable chat functionality. Lenovo requires its service providers to maintain information security best practices, make all reasonable efforts to secure your data, and only processes your data for the original and necessary purposes.

     

    Partners using the portal must identify one individual as the Partner’s administrator (“Partner Admin”) who will be responsible for managing that Partner’s account on the portal and will have access to business overview and dashboard information about Partner. The portal shares certain information about the Partner’s authorized users with the Partner Admin, including the actions they take on the portal as well as the history and status of any trainings they take through the portal. 

     

    The portal also makes available to Partners certain modules and features that are provided directly to Partners by third parties.  For instance, the Market Builder module and the training and certification module are provided to Partners directly by third parties. In these cases, data is considered shared directly by the Partner to the third party and Lenovo shall not be liable to Partner or to you for any damages arising from this data.

     

    In the event you leave the employment of one of Lenovo’s Partners but later gain employment at another of Lenovo’s Partners, Lenovo may share, upon your request and via the portal, personal data about you (such as your trainings and certifications) with your then current employer. 

    When we design a product or a service, we focus on delivering the best user experience. To do this, we process personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice and retain your personal information as long as necessary to achieve proper performance of the portal. In some cases, we may need to retain your personal data longer when it is required by law.
