Privacy Policy
Introduction
We at OptoTherm, Inc. are committed to respecting your
online privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and
management of any personally identifiable information ("Personal
Information") you share with us.
OptoTherm has established this Online Privacy
Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat
your Personal Information.
Personal Information means any
information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not
limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an
email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In
general, you can visit OptoTherm's Web pages without telling us who you are or
revealing any Personal Information about yourself.
If you choose to provide us with your
Personal Information on the Web, we may transfer that Information within
OptoTherm or to OptoTherm's third-party service providers, across borders, and from
your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around
the world.
OptoTherm strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that
are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary
from country to country, OptoTherm intends to adhere to the principles set
forth in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above,
we transfer your Personal Information from your country to countries that
may not require an "adequate" level of protection for your Personal
Information. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your
Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is
collected, transferred, or retained.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Some of our Web pages utilize "cookies"
and other tracking technologies. A "cookie" is a small text file that may
be used, for example, to collect information about Web site activity. Some
cookies and other technologies may serve to recall Personal Information
previously indicated by a Web user. Most browsers allow you to control
cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them.
You may set most browsers to notify you if
you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your
browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your
cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to
gain access to certain parts of the Web site.
Tracking technologies may record
information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP)
addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream
patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed. Our use of
cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site
and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not
contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.
To protect your privacy, we have adopted
the following principles:

Notice
Where OptoTherm collects Personal Information
on the web, we intend to post a purpose statement that explains why
Personal Information will be collected and whether we plan to share such
Personal Information outside of OptoTherm or those working on OptoTherm's behalf.
OptoTherm does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to
third parties who are not bound to act on OptoTherm's behalf unless such
transfer is legally required.
Choice
You may choose whether or not to provide
Personal Information to OptoTherm. The notice we intend to provide where
OptoTherm collects Personal Information on the Web should help you to make this
choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request,
you can still visit most of OptoTherm's Web sites, but you may be unable to
access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction
with you.
If you chose to have a relationship with
OptoTherm, such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership,
we will naturally continue to contact you in connection with that business
relationship.
Security
Wherever your Personal Information may be
held within OptoTherm or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and
appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with
us from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Access/Accuracy
To the extent that you do provide us with
Personal Information, OptoTherm wishes to maintain accurate Personal
Information. Where we collect Personal Information from you on the Web,
our goal is to provide a means of contacting OptoTherm should you need to update
or correct that Information. If for any reason those means are unavailable
or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your Personal
Information to
privacy@optotherm.com and we
will make reasonable efforts to incorporate the changes in your Personal
Information that we hold as soon as practicable.
Third Party Services
Third parties provide certain services
available on optotherm.com on OptoTherm's behalf. OptoTherm may provide information,
including Personal Information, that OptoTherm collects on the Web to
third-party service providers to help us deliver programs, products, information, and services. Service providers are also an important means
by which OptoTherm maintains its Web site and mailing lists. OptoTherm will take
reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are
obligated to protect Personal Information on OptoTherm's behalf.
OptoTherm does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your
consent to third parties who are not bound to act on OptoTherm's behalf
unless such transfer is legally required. Similarly, it is against
OptoTherm's policy to sell Personal Information collected online without
consent.
Children's Privacy
Optotherm.com is not structured to attract
children. Accordingly, we do not intend to collect Personal Information
from anyone we know to be under 13 years of age.
Commitment
We are committed to privacy and, through
our membership in the Online Privacy Alliance, are actively involved in
and support current industry initiatives to preserve individual privacy
rights on the Internet. Protecting your privacy online is an evolving
area, and OptoTherm's Web sites are constantly evolving to meet these demands.
If you have any comments or questions
regarding our Online Privacy Policy, please contact us at
privacy@optotherm.com. While we cannot
guarantee privacy perfection, we will address any issue to the best of our
abilities as soon as possible.
Your Consent
By using this Web site, you consent to
the terms of our Online Privacy Policy and to OptoTherm's processing of Personal
Information for the purposes given above as well as those explained where
OptoTherm collects Personal Information on the Web. Should the Online
Privacy Policy change, we intend to take every reasonable step to ensure
that these changes are brought to your attention by posting all changes
prominently on our web site for a reasonable period of time.
