Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 22, 2023
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”)describes how Nomad Data (“Nomad,” “we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and discloses information from and about you via our website at www.nomad-data.com (the “Site”) and our services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to this Policy.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand how we handle your information. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Policy and that we collect, use, and disclose your information as set forth below.
1. About the Services
Nomad’s platform is designed to help you manage your relationships with data providers and connect with the providers that best fit your needs. Our Services include a “Data Relationship Manager” (DRM) that lets you organize and track your data-related activities, including interactions with third-party providers. The “Connect” feature is an environment where you can describe your data needs and data providers can respond with relevant information. Information from and about you helps power these and our other services.
2. Information we collect
a. Information you provide to us
We collect information that you provide to us when you interact with us or use the Services, including any information you provide when you create an account, use the search function, make a payment, or contact us in any way, such as by email, phone, or an online form or chat function. This information may include your name, email address, and company name.
If you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, and job title, as well as any other information you choose to provide, such as information about your company or the types of data you are interested in acquiring. To create an account, you also provide login credentials (username and password) and, for paid accounts, payment information. Login credentials and payment information are managed by third-party service providers, so we do not collect or store this information. When you enter login credentials or payment information, you are interacting with a third-party service provider, not Nomad.

We may disclose your information as permitted or required by law, including to respond to judicial process, to provide information to law enforcement or regulatory agencies, or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety. We may also disclose your information as necessary if we believe that there has been a violation of this Policy, our rights, or the rights of any third party.
- Business transfers. We may disclose your information if we, or any of our businesses, undergo organizational restructuring (e.g., a sale, merger, or acquisition), or in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership. In such transactions or events (including in contemplation of transactions, e.g. due diligence), we may disclose your information. If any of our assets are sold or transferred to a third party, your information may be one of the transferred business assets.
- With your permission. We may disclose your information in ways you consent to at the time of collection or as you otherwise permit us.
5. Security
We take reasonable physical, administrative, and technical steps to help safeguard the information we collect from and about you. While we take efforts to protect the integrity and security of our network and systems, no security measures are perfect, and we cannot guarantee that our security measures will work perfectly.
You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a complex password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in credentials private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any unauthorized account activity.
In addition, by using the Services, you agree not to knowingly or intentionally compromise the security of the Services by, for example, uploading files that contain viruses, malware, bugs, Trojan horses, or any other form of technology that could impair the security or functionality of the Services.

c. “Do Not Track”
DoNot Track (“DNT”) is a setting that users can enable in certain web browsers. DNT signals do not have a commonly agreed up meaning and we do not currently recognize or respond to DNT signals.
d. Tailored advertising
The information we collect in connection with the Services may be used by us and by third parties to tailor the advertising you see online. You have choices about how information about you is used for this purpose.
To learn more about tailored advertising or to opt out of participating companies (including certain of our advertising partners), please visit the DigitalAdvertising Alliance’s (DAA) opt-out program at https://www.aboutads.info/ or the NetworkAdvertising Initiative’s (NAI) opt-out page at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/. We make no representation about the accuracy or effectiveness of these opt out mechanisms.
Some tailored advertising is carried out using cookies. You may be able to set your browser to refuse certain types of cookies or alert you when they are being used. Some browsers offer similar settings for HTML5 local storage and other technologies. Please see the “Help” section of your browser for more information. However, if you block or otherwise reject cookies or other similar technologies, certain features of the Services may not be available or function as intended.
Mobile devices often include settings to help you manage how your device collects and shares information for advertising purposes. For more information on how to manage those devices settings, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s mobile choice page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice.
Modifying your mobile device or browser settings, or opting out of tailored advertising via your web browser, may have different results depending on the type of device or web browser you use and the version of your device operating system. Opting out of tailored advertising does not prevent you from seeing ads online; instead, the ads you see are less likely to be customized to your interests. Opting out is generally effective only on a device-by-device, or browser-by-browser basis. If you use more than one browser or device, the effect of any opt-out mechanism may be limited to the device on which you used the mechanism.
We will consider all requests and provide our response within the time period required by applicable law.
