Protecting the security and privacy of your
Personal Information is important to us and
to the way we conduct our business in compliance with
laws on privacy, data protection and data security.
We hope the policy outlined below will help you understand
what information we may collect,
how we use and safeguard that information and with whom
we may share it. This policy may change from time to
time so please check back periodically.
Personal Information
Through our Web site, we will not
collect any personally identifiable information about
you (e.g., your name, address, telephone number or e-mail
address ("Personal Information")), unless
you voluntarily choose to provide it to us (e.g., by
registration, survey). If you do not want your Personal
Information collected, please do not submit it to us.
When you do provide us with Personal Information, we
usually use it to respond to your inquiry, process your
order or provide you access to specific account information.
Also, to support our customer relationship with you:
- we may store and process Personal
Information and share it with our worldwide affiliates to better
understand your business needs and how we can improve our products
and services; or
- we (or a third party on our behalf) may use Personal
Information to contact you about an offer in support of your business needs or to
conduct online surveys to understand better our customers'
needs and profiles.
If you choose not to have your Personal Information
used to support our customer relationship (especially
direct-marketing or market-research), we will respect
your choice. We do not now (and do not intend to) sell,
rent or otherwise market your Personal Information to
third parties.
Non-Personal Information Collected Automatically
When you access our Web sites, we may automatically
(i.e., not by registration) collect information that
is not personally identifiable (e.g., type of Internet
browser and computer operating system used; domain name
of the Web site from which you came; number of visits,
the date and time of your visit, average time spent,
pages viewed). We may use this information and share
it with our affiliates to measure the use of our Web
site and improve its content.
Use of Feedback Utilities
Any information submitted to us through
the Feedback or Contact utilities in this site will be considered
non-confidential and we reserve
the right to use and reproduce such information and/or
disclose it to other parties without restriction.
"Cookies" - Information Placed Automatically
on Your Computer
When you view one of our Web sites, we may store some
information on your computer in the form of a "Cookie"
to automatically recognize you the next time you visit.
Cookies can help us in many ways, for example, by allowing
us to tailor a Web site to better match your interests
or to save your password so that you do not have to
re-enter it each time. If you choose not to be recognized,
please refer to your Internet browser to erase Cookies
from your computer hard drive, block all Cookies or
receive a warning before a Cookie is stored.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to
ensure the security of your Personal Information and
protect it from loss, destruction, falsification, manipulation,
and unauthorized access or unauthorized disclosure.

other web sites that are provided as a convenience only.
