Collection of information |
|
When you visit our website, we do not collect
personally identifiable information about you except
when you specifically and knowingly provide it.
For instance, while many areas of our website are
free to all users, we do require registration for
some services such as Product Alert. If you decide
to register for these services, or if you request
information from us, you will be asked to provide
certain information and details, including your
name, company, title, country and e-mail address.
The information you provide helps us create customized
content. You will receive current information only
for the products that interest you. Our system also
logs some basic and generic information about your
computer, including its:
- IP address (your computer's unique signature)
- Operating system (e.g. Windows NT)
- Browser software (e.g. Netscape Navigator)
We use this information about your computer to perform
routine web site maintenance and to generate various
aggregate reports for internal analysis, research
and monitoring purposes, so as to help us develop
and enhance our web site and services for our users. |

SecurityWorld respects
your privacy |
|
We will not sell, trade or rent personally identifiable
information about our users to other parties, without
our users' consent.
We do, however, share certain information about
our users with advertisers, but only in the aggregate,
i.e. XX% of site visitors is from North America.
This enables us to constantly build a large database
of products and suppliers, giving you wider sourcing
options.
We also reserve the right to disclose user information
in special cases, for example, when we have reason
to believe that such disclosure is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against
someone who may be infringing (or threatening to
infringe) or who may otherwise be causing injury
to or interference with (either intentionally or
unintentionally), our title, rights, interests or
property, or those of other web site users, or of
anyone else who could be harmed by such activities.
We also reserve the right to disclose, without notice
to you, personal information in response to a subpoena
or other judicial order or when we believe in good
faith that such disclosure is required by any law,
regulation or listing requirement, or by any stock/securities
exchange, governmental or regulatory authority. |

Use of information |
|
We may use the information you provide to respond
to your requests for additional information, to
contact you, if necessary, to service your account
or for other administrative purposes. We may also
access your information to resolve disputes, to
troubleshoot problems, to enforce agreements between
us, or for marketing purposes. In addition, for
certain transactions, our system may use your transaction
details to automate and to streamline your transaction
by checking for electronic data compliance, providing
reporting features, and transferring data from previous
forms to those of the current transaction.
We may also use the information you provide for
certain mailing initiatives. For example, you may
sometimes receive an invitation to answer surveys
or try out new products and services from SecurityWorld.
Your feedback helps us develop new products and
services based on your needs.
You always have a choice about receiving mailings,
surveys or information about products and services
from us. Each e-mail you receive has an "Unsubscribe"
option. As a registered member, you can also advise
us which types of e-mail you wish to receive by
updating your Mailing Lists page. |

Information relating to
community members |
|
For those services which require registration,
you will be asked to provide certain personal and
business information. Upon registration, you will
be enrolled as a member of our global community
network. As a community member, you have the right
to opt-out of being listed in our membership directory,
which only other members and our relevant partners
will be able to access. |

Corrections of inaccuracies |

We are committed to providing reasonable and practical
access to you to identify and to correct any inaccuracies
in or to update the information you may provide.

Co-branded and
alliance relationships |
|
We have established relationships with other parties
on the Internet to offer you the benefit of other
products and services which we ourselves do not
offer. We offer you access to these other parties
either through the use of hyperlinks to their sites
from our site, or through offering "co-branded"
sites in which both ourselves and these other parties
share the same URL, domain name or pages within
a domain name on the Internet. Generally, we do
not own the co-branded and alliance parties and
we do not control how they use any information you
supply them. It is therefore important that you
understand their privacy policy and/or terms of
use if you visit and use their sites. |

Third party service providers
|
|
You may notice that some services available through
our website are "Powered by" or "Provided
by" other third party content or technology
service providers. We contract with these third
party providers to help us provide you with better
value and service. To fully access and use such
services, you may sometimes be required to register
for them or to otherwise provide certain information
and data. In order to provide you with the services
in question, such information and data may have
to be made available to the third party provider,
who may then process or update such information
and data and transmit them back to us. We are highly
selective in choosing these third party providers,
and they are allowed to use your information and
data only for the purpose of and in connection with
providing the services which we have contracted
with them to provide.
Important Notice Although we adhere to industry
standard practices to protect your personal information
and confidential data, we cannot ensure that such
information and data will never be disclosed in
ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. |

WHAT IS A COOKIE? |
|
A "cookie" is a small piece of information
that a website can store in a designated file on
your computer. It can be used, among other things,
to identify you when you log in to a website. When
you visit a site, that site can access only the
information which it stored in your cookie -- not
information put in your cookie by other sites. SecurityWorld
is one of many sites that use cookies. |
|
|
| |
Why
does SecurityWorld use cookies? |
|
|
| |
Cookies allow SecurityWorld to recognize you as
a return user every time you visit our site. This
cookie helps you save time whenever you send an
inquiry. Whenever you want to send an inquiry or
an offer, from anywhere on the site, the inquiry
form or offer sheet is automatically filled in with
your contact and business details. You can just
type in your message and send it! |
|
|
| |
Will another website be able to steal my ID and password? |
|
|
|
| |
No. Only SecurityWorld can read the information
about your ID and password. No website has access
to it through your browser. That is how web browsers
are. However, anyone who sits down at your computer
can log on to our site using your information if
you have chosen to save your sign-on information.
We recommend you sign-on only if your computer is
located in a secure place. |
|
|
| |
Will I receive unsolicited e-mail if I accept your cookies? |
|
|
| |
No. Acceptance of cookies on our website does
not result in your receiving any e-mail from us.
When you signed up for our FREE services, you chose
whether to receive promotional e-mail from SecurityWorld.
To check or update this choice, please see Your
Profile. |

| |
What do those characters I see in the cookie alert mean? |
|
|
| |
If you have setup your browser to warn you every
time a cookie is set, you can see the contents of
a cookie before your computer accepts it. |
|
|
| |
What if I do not accept your cookies? |
|
|
| |
Some of our services or features require cookies.
If you do not accept cookies on our website, you
may not be able to use, access or participate in
such services or features fully or at all.
