ConveyanceLink.com Legal Statement
Updated: 1 January 2003
ConveyanceLink™ is committed to protecting your
privacy. You can visit most pages on our site without giving us any information
about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that
you request, and this privacy statement explains data collection and use in
those situations. This privacy statement only applies to ConveyanceLink.com; it
does not apply to other online or offline ConveyanceLink™ sites, products or
services. Please read the complete ConveyanceLink.com privacy statement.
Collection of your
Personal Information
We will ask you when we
need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows
us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are
registering before entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a
limited-access premium site, signing up for an event or training, or when
purchasing and/or registering ConveyanceLink™ products. Personal information
collected by ConveyanceLink.com often is limited to e-mail address, language,
country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a
service you requested.
When you buy and install a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase
electronically. We keep this registration information on file with any
information you've already given us on previous visits to our Web site.
ConveyanceLink.com also collects certain information about your computer
hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser
type, operating system, domain name, access times and referring Web site
addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to
maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use
of ConveyanceLink.com.
ConveyanceLink.com also collects information about which pages our customers
visit within ConveyanceLink.com. This site visitation data is identified only by
a unique ID number, and it is never linked with personal information unless a
user consents.
Use of your
Personal Information
We use your
personal information for the following purposes:
-
To ensure our site is relevant to your needs.
-
To deliver services, such as newsletters, events, training or software that you request or purchase.
-
To help us create and publish content most
relevant to you.
-
To alert you to product upgrades, special offers,
updated information and other new services from ConveyanceLink™, if you so
request.
-
To allow you access to limited-entry areas of our
site as appropriate.
We will merge site-visitation data with anonymous demographic information for
research purposes, and we may use this information in aggregate to provide more
relevant content. In some limited-entry sections of ConveyanceLink.com, with
your approval, we will combine site-visitation data with your personal
information in order to provide you with personalized content. If you decline
permission, we will not provide you the personalized service and won't merge
your personal information with site-visitation data.
ConveyanceLink™ may disclose your personal information if required to do so by
law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to
the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on ConveyanceLink™ or
the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of ConveyanceLink™ and
its family of Web sites, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the
personal safety of ConveyanceLink™ employees, users of ConveyanceLink™ products
or services, or members of the public.
Your information may be stored and processed in the United Kingdom or any other
country in which ConveyanceLink™ or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents
maintain facilities, and by using this site, you consent to any such transfer of
information outside of your country. ConveyanceLink™ abides by the Data
Protection Act
Control of your
Personal Information
When you register, or
otherwise give us personal information, ConveyanceLink.com will not share that
information with third parties without your permission, other than for the
limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated
above.
Registering also allows you to tell us how or whether you want
ConveyanceLink.com to communicate with you.
ConveyanceLink.com occasionally allows other companies to offer our registered
customers information about their products and services, using postal mail only.
If you do not want to receive these offers, you should uncheck the box in the
Contact Options. ConveyanceLink.com may send out periodic e-mails informing you
of technical service or security issues related to a product or service you
requested, or confirming you requested a product or service. You will not be
able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are considered an
essential part of the service you have chosen.
Access to your
Personal Information
We will provide you with
the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current.
Security of your
Personal Information
ConveyanceLink.com is committed to protecting the
security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies
and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you
provide in computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled
facilities. When we transmit sensitive information (such as a credit card
number) over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as
the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Use of Cookies
When someone visits the
site, a cookie is placed on the customer's machine (if the customer accepts
cookies) or is read if the customer has visited the site previously. One use of
cookies is to assist in the collection of the site visitation statistics
described above.
We also use cookies to collect information on which newsletter links are clicked
by customers. This information is used to ensure we are sending information
customers want to read. It is collected in aggregate form and never linked with
your personal information.
Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action tags, may be used to
assist in delivering the cookie on our site. This technology tells us how many
visitors clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics) on a
ConveyanceLink.com Web page. We do not use this technology to access your
personally identifiable information on ConveyanceLink.com; it is a tool we use
to compile aggregated statistics about ConveyanceLink.com Web site usage. We may
share aggregated site statistics with partner companies but do not allow other
companies to place clear gifs on our sites.
If you choose to not have your browser accept cookies from the
ConveyanceLink.com Web site, you will be able to view the text on the screens,
however you will not experience a personalized visit nor will you be able to
subscribe to the service offerings on the site.
Changes to this
Statement
ConveyanceLink.com will occasionally update this
privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the "last updated" date at
the top of the privacy statement. For material changes to this statement,
ConveyanceLink.com will notify you by placing prominent notice on the Web site.
