Privacy Policy
1. Aprilog.com is a leading global electronics company, and
is dedicated to protecting the privacy of the personally identifiable
information our customers choose to share with us, wherever they
live or travel. We follow the principles of disclosure and choice,
which allow Aprilog.com to provide desired information and services
to our customers while protecting their personally identifiable
information. Personally identifiable information is information
that can be associated with a specific individual or entity,
including, for example, a customers name, address, or telephone
number, e-mail address, personal preferences and information
about on-line activities that are directly linked to him/her.
2. Many of our visitors choose to share their personally identifiable
information with Aprilog.com by registration, with the confidence
that it will be used responsibly. By doing so, they can take
advantage of a number of useful services. Convenient on-line
warranty registration after you have purchased a Aprilog.com
product is fast and secure (available soon). Visitors who register
for our convenient SmartConnect database will be able to migrate
their registration and other personally identifiable information
to new generations of Aprilog.com digital products as these come
on line, without having to register again. Aprilog.com Passport
registrants, newsletter subscribers, direct product purchasers
and contest entrants also share personally identifiable information
with us so that we can contact them with the kinds of information
they have chosen to receive.
3. Not everyone chooses to share personally identifiable information
just because they visit a site. This web site asks you whether
you would like to receive new information or be contacted, and
gives you the opportunity to opt out of doing so. If you do register,
you also have the right to change your mind in the future, and
you can view your profile (in real time in most cases) to make
changes or withdraw your consent to receive information, or for
other uses of your personally identifiable information. Of course,
in the unlikely event that Aprilog.com receives a court order
or is otherwise legally compelled to release any personally identifiable
information, we will be legally required to comply, even if such
compliance would otherwise be contrary to Aprilog.com privacy
policy.
4. Some of our web sites will send a "cookie," a small
summary file of who you are, to your computer to give you the
courtesy of instant recognition the next time you visit, without
bothering you with another request to register. If you do not
wish to be recognized 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.
5. This web site collects personally identifiable information
that the web site uses to service our customers individual
needs and interests. This is the primary use of personally identifiable
information. As a secondary use, this web site may further meet
customer needs by occasionally sharing data with other Aprilog.com
divisions whose products or special offers you may find useful.
This web site may also from time to time share personally identifiable
information and/or aggregated data with responsible partner companies.
Such aggregated data may include warranty registration and purchasing
data, statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns
and related site information. You can tell us to restrict access
to your personally identifiable information at time of registration
or at any subsequent time. From time to time, this web site may
provide links to other web sites. You should carefully review
the privacy policies on those sites; they may differ from the
Aprilog.com privacy policy.
6. Aprilog.com takes significant steps to protect your personally
identifiable information with secure servers, from simple name
registration to encrypted financial data used in e-commerce transactions.
It is Aprilog.com policy that communications with Aprilog.com
service personnel (i.e., help lines, product inquiries) will
be treated with confidence by designated Aprilog.com personnel.
The content of such communications will be shared within Aprilog.com
on an "as needed" basis, to answer the inquiries. Because
Aprilog.com sells thousands of products in hundreds of countries,
you may have registered for a warranty through the mail or in
some other manner. Your decision NOT to register online will
not cancel contacts that occur as a result of your previous offline
registration, but you always have the option to unsubscribe to
such online contact. Also, Aprilog.com web sites may make chat
rooms, forums, message boards and/or newsgroups available to
its users. Please remember that any personally identifiable information
that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and
you should exercise caution in deciding to disclose your personally
identifiable information.
7. As a trusted indrustry name, Aprilog.com relationship with
its customers is paramount. We seek to know you better so we
can serve you better, but the choice of whether you want that
kind of service is up to you. If for some reason you believe
Aprilog.com has not adhered to these principles, please notify
us by clicking the "Talk" button at www.Aprilog.com,
and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine
and correct the problem. |
