BuyTech.com Privacy Policy
BuyTech.com respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how BuyTech.com
uses personally identifiable information about our customers collected on the
BuyTech.com Web sites operated around the world. By using one of our Web sites
or providing any personal information using one of our sites, you are agreeing
to the collection and use of information in the manner described in this Privacy
Policy.
Global Scope
Because BuyTech.com is a global company, information that you submit to one of
our Web sites in one country or language may be sent electronically to a server
for one of these sites in another country. As a result, the information may be
used, stored, or processed outside the country where it was recorded. However,
we safeguard your data, wherever we may use, store or process it, by ensuring
that it is treated in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.
Information Tracked
Our server software gathers in log files, general demographic information from
all users of our Web sites. This includes browser types, IP addresses and
referring domains. We use this information to help us understand our visitors'
needs.
If you choose to receive information regarding BuyTech.com's products and/or
services, you will need to complete our information request forms. These forms
require your name, company name, e-mail address, company address, phone number
as well as other information to help us determine and respond to your needs
related to the products and/or services requested. We use this information to
send updates about our company and our products and to contact you if requested
or necessary. We also use the demographic information you provide on these forms
in connection with studies and reports regarding our Web sites, such as Web site
usage patterns, in order to better understand the needs of visitors to our Web
sites. We will not, however, associate any personally identifiable information
which you provide with the information in these studies and reports.
We may occasionally run contests or other special promotions on our Web site in
which we ask persons who choose to participate for contact information (like an
e-mail address) or demographic information (like a zip code, industry or
country). We may use the data we collect from you in these contests and
promotions to send you promotional material about our company or our partners.
Your customer contact information collected from these contests and promotions
may be used to contact you when necessary. In addition, if you elect to provide
us information regarding others you believe may be interested in receiving
information about our products or services, such as in our 'refer a friend'
program, we will use the information you supply to contact these persons. Any
mailings we provide to these persons will contain a method for them to opt out
of receiving future mailings.
We currently contract with several online partners to help manage and optimize
our Internet business and communications. We use the services of marketing
companies to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how
visitors use our site. To do this, we use Web beacons and cookies provided by
our marketing company on this site. The type of information we collect includes:
Access your profile information when you "sign in," so that we can provide you
with customized content, such as MyBuyTech.com.
Estimate and report our total audience size and traffic patterns.
Conduct research to improve our content and services.
Track and measure the success of a particular marketing campaign
By supplementing our records, this information helps us learn things like what
pages are most attractive to our visitors, which of our products most interest
our customers, and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. Although our
marketing companies log the information coming from our site on our behalf, we
control how that data may and may not be used. If you do not want to help us
learn how to improve our site, products, offers and marketing strategy, you can
"opt-out" of this website analysis tool by disabling your cookie and/or by email
the webmaster at BuyTech.com
If you disable your cookie, you may still use our Web sites; however, you may
not be able to access certain areas within a particular Web site.
Security and Disclosure
We use security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and
alteration of the information under our control which is gathered from
our Web sites. BuyTech.com personnel with access to this
information have been advised of the importance of maintaining the
confidentiality of such information and of using it only for the purposes
described in this Privacy Policy.
To facilitate mailings to our customers, BuyTech.com may provide the necessary
mailing information to bonded third party contractors which will perform the
mailing on our behalf.
Other than as expressly described in this Privacy Policy, we will not share,
sell, or rent personally identifiable information with anyone outside of
BuyTech.com, without your prior permission or unless ordered by a court of law.
For purposes of this paragraph, "BuyTech.com" means BuyTech.com Corporation, its
subsidiaries, and any successor to the assets or business of any such entities.
BuyTech.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any
other Web sites to which we link.
Notification of Privacy Policy Changes
BuyTech.com may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If BuyTech.com
decides to make substantial changes in the way we use your personal information,
we will post the changes on this page so that you always will know what
information we collect, how it is used, and when and how it will be disclosed.
Your use of any BuyTech.com Web site following notice of such change will be
deemed acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy, which may include application
of the new policy to information provided prior to the date of such change.
Choice/Opt-Out and Updating Information
If you receive marketing or similar e-mail messages from us and wish to opt out
of receiving such messages, then you may simply follow the opt-out procedure
specified in such e-mail. In addition, if you have registered on one of our
