Introduction
At Thermal Instruments Ltd, we respect your privacy. We want to maintain your
confidence in our handling of any data and information that is collected during
your visit to our web site. We have developed and provided this Privacy Policy
to inform you of our practices and policies regarding the collection, use,
maintenance, and disclosure of your personal data and information.
We are committed to providing you with adequate information so you can make
an informed decision whether to visit our web site and whether you wish to
voluntarily provide any personal data or information, e.g., your name, e-mail
address, telephone number, etc. Our Privacy Policy is described in the following
sections.
Cookies
"Cookies" are small data files that are written to and stored on
your hard drive when you visit a web site. They do not read files on your
hard drive.
Unlike other web sites, we do not use cookies to personalize a user's experience
of our web site.
Log Files
We review data and information contained in log files located on our web server,
which record the date and time of each visit to our web site, the user's IP
(internet protocol) address, the referring IP address or domain (the prior
web site visited), and the files viewed on our web site (including HTML pages,
graphics, etc.). We use log file information to analyze data in the aggregate
to determine the trends and usage of our site. We can not correlate the log
data to identify specific users.
We do not, and will not, disclose, sell, rent or share any information derived
from log files with any third parties other than to Affiliates, or as otherwise
stated in this Privacy Policy.
Voluntarily Provided Information
If you respond to a request for information or make any other on-line request
of us, you will be voluntarily providing personally identifiable information.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, we ask that you please do not
provide the requested information. You may nevertheless continue to use most
of our web site, subject, however, to the collection of information through
log files as discussed above. If you have previously provided personally identifiable
information by registration through our web site, you may request to be removed
from our active database of mailing lists (see the discussion below).
Voluntarily provided information is used to send you announcements of new
products, updates, and promotional information, as well as to provide the
services or goods that you request and give you better customer service. We
share personally identifiable information with our Affiliates, as well as
with our third-party business partners, sales representatives and distributors
(collectively, "Partners") who may provide the requested goods or
services to you directly or otherwise contact you directly. Moreover, we rely
on various third-party service companies ("Service Companies") to
provide certain services (e.g., shipping,) for which it is necessary to provide
users' personally identifiable information.
We do not, and will not, disclose, sell, rent or share any personally identifiable
information received as a result of enrollment, registrations or e-commerce
transactions on our web site with any third parties, other than our Affiliates,
Partners, Service Companies, or as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy.
Please note that although we may seek to require that Affiliates, Partners,
and Service Companies use information regarding our users only in the ways
permitted by this Privacy Policy, we do not control and are not responsible
for their privacy practices, or those of any other party.
Collection of Data & Information by Our ISP
Our Internet Service Provider (ISP) also collects certain information about
your visit. It is the same information contained in a log file that we collect
and analyze, i.e., the date and time of the visit, the user's IP (internet
protocol) address, the referring IP address or domain, and the files viewed
on our web site (including HTML pages, graphics, etc.). In addition, our ISP
has access to back-up files containing the personally identifiable information
that you voluntarily provide (even if your input fails). The ISP does not
disclose, share, release, publish, disseminate, rent, or sell any personally
identifiable information to any third parties, but does use the log files
to analyze data in an aggregate form, which is not personally identifiable
information.
Links to Third-Party Web Sites
Through our web pages, you may connect to third parties' web sites via hyperlinks,
and the connections may or may not be obvious. We are not responsible for
the collection, use, maintenance, sharing, or disclosure of data and information
by such third parties. We encourage our users to be aware of the varied privacy
policies of web sites that they visit.
Correspondence
We maintain and review e-mail correspondence that you send to us. We will
use (and maintain in a file specific to you) the personally identifiable information
disclosed in the e-mail. Because such correspondence contains information
that is not transmitted through the operation of our web site, it is not subject
to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Required Disclosures of Data & Information
In addition to disclosures to our Affiliates, Partners, and Service Companies,
and regardless of anything in this Privacy Policy to the contrary, we may
disclose personally identifiable information, with or without prior notice
to you, when we believe that the law requires it, in response to subpoenas
or at the demand of governmental agencies, to protect our systems or business,
to protect other visitors to the web site, or to respond to an emergency.
If you partake, or we reasonably suspect you of partaking in any illegal activity
we may also disclose your personally identifiable information, even without
a subpoena, warrant or court order. We may also make disclosures of your personally
identifiable information with your affirmative consent.
Maintenance & Transmission of Data & Information
Although we use reasonable efforts to maintain the privacy of your personally
identifiable data and information, due to technological limitations, and the
risk of unlawful interceptions and accessing of transmissions and/or data,
we cannot completely assure you, and you should not expect, that your personally
identifiable data and information, and any other electronically communicated
information, will be absolutely confidential.
For all e-commerce transactions, we use industry-standard commercial encryption
technology to protect the data and information that you transmit to us via
our web site. Although this technology is not flawless, we believe that it
provides reasonable protection for your data and information. We will endeavor
to update our protective devices as encryption technology develops further.
Once received, personally identifiable information is protected from outside
Thermal Instruments Ltd by "firewalls," and access within Thermal
Instruments Ltd is generally limited to the sales, marketing, and information
technology departments. We also seek to require our Affiliates, Partners and
Service Companies to exercise reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality
of your information.
Your Right to Review & Modify Data & Information
You have the right, at any time, to review and/or modify any of your personally
identifiable information that you provide during registration, or any other
voluntarily provided information. You may also remove yourself from our active
databases of e-mail lists. To do so, you should send an e-mail to TILprivacy@thermal-instruments.com
requesting that (a) we provide a copy of your profile of personally identifiable
information, (b) we update or modify certain personally identifiable information,
or (c) you be removed from our databases of active e-mail lists. We will endeavor
to comply with your request as soon as reasonably possible. To protect your
confidentiality, we can only send a requested profile to the e-mail address
listed in the profile. In any event, our back-up files will maintain copies
of your personally identifiable information. We reserve the right to contact
former customers or users of the web site from time to time.
Assignment
We reserve the right to transfer any and all information that we collect from
our visitors to a third party in the event that we sell or transfer substantially
all of our assets related to the web site to such third party.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Due to changing technological and marketing demands, we must reserve the right
to change our policies regarding the privacy of your personally identifiable
information in the future. If that happens, we will endeavor to promptly update
this Privacy Policy. We may also attempt to provide a message to our customers
whose e-mail addresses we have, in conformity with this Privacy Policy, advising
of any such change(s). Your continued use of the web site following changes
to this policy will indicate that you accept the changes. For ease of your
review of any changes, the following is a list of the date of all revisions
to this Privacy Policy:
Conclusion
We hope that this Privacy Policy helps you to make an informed decision whether
to visit our web site and/or to provide us with certain information.
If you have any questions, concerns or problems, we encourage you to email
to TILprivacy@thermal-instruments.com. We greatly appreciate your suggestions
on how we can improve our Privacy Policy or any aspects of our web site.
