PAROS Web Site Privacy
Statement
PAROS believes that
privacy is important to the success and use of the Internet. This statement sets
forth PAROS's Privacy Statement for
http://myparos.parosscm.com
and http://www.parostechnologies.com
or any of other PAROS designated websites
and describes the practices that PAROS will follow with respect to the privacy
of users of this site. From time to time, we
may change this Privacy Statement. For example, as we update and improve our
service/s, new features may require
modifications to the Privacy Statement. Accordingly, please check back
periodically.
What is personally
identifiable information?
"Personally
identifiable information" is information about you, such as name, address,
e-mail address, user ID, and so on.
How is information
collected, used, and disclosed?
We do not collect
personal information -- including your e-mail address -- unless we first ask you
for it. On some of our sites, we may request
that you voluntarily supply us with information, including your e-mail address,
street address, telephone number or
other information so that we may enhance your site visit or follow up with you
after your visit. Whether you provide
any information is entirely up to you. If you have
voluntarily provided information, you consented to the collection and use of
your personally identifiable information as
described in this Privacy Statement. In some circumstances, PAROS may share
information you voluntarily provide us with
trustworthy business partners. We do not sell or rent personal information
collected through this site to
anyone. Also, PAROS
may provide aggregate statistics about visitors to our sites, such as volume,
traffic patterns, and related site
information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include
no personally identifiable information. PAROS may
also disclose information in special cases when we have a good faith belief that
such action is necessary to: (a)
conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect and
defend our rights or
property; (c) enforce
the Web site Agreement and Terms and Conditions of Use; or (d) act to protect
the interests of our users or others.
What are cookies and
how are they used?
Some PAROS sites, like
many other commercial web sites, may utilize a standard technology called
"cookies" to collect information about how
our site is used. Cookies were designed to help a web site operator determine
that a particular user had visited the site
previously and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set
while the user was browsing the site.
Cookies are small strings of text that web sites can send to your browser.
Cookies cannot retrieve any other data from your
hard drive or obtain your e-mail address. If you are simply browsing a PAROS
informational site, a cookie may be used to
identify your browser as one that has visited the site before. We may also make use
of memory-based cookies in support of authenticating the user of certain PAROS
web applications.
Similarly, if you are a registered user of a site providing service to PAROS
clients (and have a user ID and password), we may use
cookies so that we can provide personalized information based on preferences you
have indicated while using
the site. Although you have the ability to modify your browser to either accept
all cookies, notify you when a cookie is sent,
or reject all cookies, it may not be possible to utilize PAROS services which
require registration if you reject cookies.
What are your choices
regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information?
If you have
voluntarily provided information, you consented to the collection and use of
your personally identifiable information as
described in this Privacy Statement. If, in connection with your use of a
particular service, we ask to use your data in a way not
described in this Privacy Statement and you do not wish to permit that use, you
can choose not to use the particular
service. If you have
voluntarily provided personally identifiable information, we may, from time to
time, send you mail or e-mail regarding products and
services. If you do not want to receive such offers and mailings, you can easily
indicate that by checking the
appropriate box on the submission form.
How can you correct,
access, and update your information?
You may view and edit
your personally identifiable information at any time by contacting us using the
link provided on the web site.
How do we protect your
information?
We exercise great care
to protect your personally identifiable information. This includes, among other
things, using industry standard
techniques such as intrusion detection and site monitoring. Unfortunately, no
data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your
personally identifiable information, we cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive
from us. This is especially true for
information you transmit to us via e-mail. We have no way of protecting that
information until it reaches us. Once we receive
your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our
servers. Internally, we will
restrict access to your personally identifiable information to employees who
need access to the information in order
to do their jobs. These employees are limited in number, and are committed to
our privacy policies. We will review our
security arrangements from time to time as we deem appropriate.
How can you help
protect your information?
If you are using a
PAROS web site for which you registered and chose a password, we recommend that
you do not divulge your password
to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call
or in an unsolicited e-mail. Also remember
to sign out of the registered site and close your browser window when you have
finished your work. This is to
ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if
others have access to your computer. The CML/Store data
stored on our server belongs to you and users to whom you have given permission
either by you or by Paros, based on
your request.
Other sites
PAROS sites may
contain links to other sites, including those of our business partners. While we
seek to link only to sites that share our high
standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the privacy
practices employed by other sites.
