HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use information that we collect from customers and visitors for the purposes of:

  • providing our products and services;
  • providing ongoing support;
  • communicating with you, including promotional communications and customer relationship management (“CRM”);
  • providing information about other products and services;
  • helping us run our company, for example to improve our products and services or our security, train staff or perform marketing activities, including CRM;
  • complying with our legal obligations; and
  • accounting and other administrative purposes.

Examples of the uses of information include:

Providing Products and Services. We use data to carry out your transactions with us and to provide products and services to you. Often, this includes personal information such as email, name and address.

  • Customer support. We use data to diagnose and address problems and provide other customer and support services.
  • Product activation. We use data, including device and application type, location, and unique device, application, network and subscription identifiers to activate software and devices that require activation.

Improving Products and Services. We use data to continually improve our products and services, including adding new features or capabilities. Data is collected throughout your interactions with our products and services that enable us to understand customer usage and tailor future capabilities.

We track general, non-personalized information (e.g., operating system, browser version and type of device being used) to know how many people visit specific pages of our Sites or utilize specific areas of our products and services so that we may improve those products and services.

Our Cookies policy (below) explains how we use Cookies and similar technologies to collect information about the way you use our Sites, products and services, and how to control them.

Please note that we use IP addresses on a highly restrictive basis to analyze trends, to administer the site, and to collect general information for aggregate use.

Service Communications. We use data we collect to deliver and personalize our communications with you. For example, we may contact you by email or other means to notify you of changes in information and updates to our products and services or to our Privacy Policy.

Marketing and Event Communication. We use personal information to deliver marketing and event communications to you across various platforms, such as email, direct mail, social media, and online via our Sites. We also may send you invitations to trade shows or trainings relating to our products and services that occur nearby you, based on your address.

Third parties may also market to you on our behalf based on your use of their third-party services. For example, some tradeshow organizers may collect precise geolocation (latitude and longitude) data when you grant permission through your mobile device’s system settings. Once you give permission, the tradeshow organizer may use your mobile device’s GPS, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections to serve geo-targeted information about us, such as booth location. You should consult and review the relevant third-party privacy statement or policy for information on their data processing practices.

If we send you a marketing email, it will include instructions on how to opt out of receiving these emails in the future. We also maintain email preference centers for you to manage your information and marketing preferences. Please remember that even if you opt out of receiving marketing emails, we may still send you important service information related to your accounts and subscriptions.

Processing Payments. If you make a payment to us, we will ask for payment data and other information requested for processing your payment.

We use a third party payment processor (“Payment Processor”), currently Cybersource, to assist in securely processing your payment data. If you pay with a credit card, the payment data that you provide through the Sites is encrypted and transmitted directly to our Payment Processor. We do not control and are not responsible for our Payment Processor or its collection or use of your information. You may find out more about how our Payment Processor stores and uses your payment data by accessing the privacy policy for our Payment Processor’s services (see https://usa.visa.com/legal/global-privacy-notice.html)

HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION

It is our policy to protect users’ information both online and off-line. Access to our users’ information is restricted to only our employees or agents, contractors or subcontractors who have valid reasons to access this information to perform any service you have requested or authorized, or for any other purpose described in this Privacy Policy. The information you provide will not be sold or rented to third parties.

We may provide your personal information to:

    • our controlled affiliates and subsidiaries;
    • outsourced service providers who perform functions on our behalf. For example, when you provide payment data to make a purchase, we will share payment data with banks and other entities that process payment transactions or provide other financial services, and for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction;
    • our authorized agents and representatives who sell products or provide services on our behalf, such as product resellers;
    • anyone expressly authorized by you to receive your personal information; and
    • anyone to whom we are required by law to disclose personal information, upon valid and enforceable request thereof.

Finally, we will access, disclose and preserve personal information, including Your Content, when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to:

      • comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal processes, including from law enforcement or other government agencies, upon valid and enforceable request thereof; or
      • operate and maintain the security of our services, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks.

Please note that some of our Sites, products and services may direct you to services of third parties whose privacy practices differ from ours. If you provide personal information to any of those services, your data is governed by their privacy statements or policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other websites. Please review the privacy policies for these other websites to understand how they process your information.

We require third parties to only use your personal information for the specific purpose for which it was given to us and to protect the privacy of your personal information. We will only disclose your personal information to third parties who agree to keep your information confidential.

HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Security of Personal Information

We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, we may hold your information in hard copy and/or electronic form. For each medium, we use technologies and procedures to protect personal information.

We will treat access to the Sites, products and services through your account credentials as authorized by you. Unauthorized access to password-protected or secure areas is prohibited and may lead to criminal prosecution.

If we become aware of a breach that affects the security of your personal information, we will provide you with notice as required by applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we will provide any such notice that we must provide to you at your account’s email address. By using the Sites, products and services, you agree to accept notice electronically.

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We respect your right to access and control your personal information. You have choices about the data we collect.

E-mail communications may also include a link to directly update and manage your marketing preferences. If you have a web account with us, you can also change your contact preferences through the Settings section of the applicable Site. Please remember that even if you opt out of receiving marketing emails, we may still send you important information related to your accounts and subscriptions.

COOKIES & SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies (small, often encrypted, text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device) and similar technologies (“Cookies”) to provide our products and services and help collect data. This Cookies policy explains how we use Cookies to collect information about the way you use our Sites, products and services, and how you can control them.

How We Use Cookies

We use Cookies to track how you use our Sites, products, and services by providing usage statistics. Cookies are also used to deliver our information (including updates) and allow product authentication to you based upon your browsing history and previous visits to the Sites. Information supplied to us using Cookies helps us to provide a better online experience to our visitors and users and send marketing communications to them, as the case may be. Information supplied to us upon launching of our products and services will enable us to manage your permissions, license, license type, and improve the functionality of our products and services.

While this information on its own may not constitute your personal information, we may combine the information we collect via Cookies with personal information that we have collected from you to learn more about how you use our Sites and products to improve them.

Types of Cookies

We use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your device until you delete them). To make it easier for you to understand why we need them, the Cookies we use on our Sites and products and services can be grouped into the following categories:

      • Strictly Necessary: These Cookies are necessary for the Sites and products and services to work properly. They include any essential authentication and authorization Cookies for our Sites, products and services.
      • Functionality: These Cookies enable technical performance and allow us to remember the choices you make while browsing our Sites, including any preferences you set. They also include sign-in and authentication Cookies and IDs that enable you to return without additional sign-in.
      • Performance/Analytical: These Cookies allow us to collect certain information about how you navigate the Sites or utilize the products and services running on your device. They help us understand which areas you use and what we can do to improve them.
      • Targeting: These Cookies are used to deliver relevant information related to our products and services to an identified machine or other device (not a named or otherwise identifiable person) which has previously been used to visit our Sites. Some of these types of Cookies on our Sites are operated by third parties with our permission and are used to identify advertising sources that are effectively driving customers to our Sites.

Cookies Set by Third Party Websites

To enhance our content and to deliver a better online experience for our users, we sometimes embed images and videos from other websites on the Sites. We currently use, and may in the future use, content from websites such as YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. You may be presented with Cookies from these third-party websites. Please note that we do not control these Cookies. The privacy practices of these third parties will be governed by the parties’ own privacy statements or policies. We are not responsible for the security or privacy of any information collected by these third parties, using Cookies or other means. You should consult and review the relevant third-party privacy statement or policy for information on how these Cookies are used and how you can control them.

Social Sharing

We also embed social sharing icons throughout our Sites. These sharing options are designed to enable users to easily share content from our Sites with others using a variety of different social networks. If you choose to connect using a social networking or similar service, we may receive and store authentication information from that service to enable you to log in and other information that you may choose to share when you connect with these services. These services may collect information such as the web pages you visited and IP addresses, and may set Cookies to enable features to function properly. We are not responsible for the security or privacy of any information collected by these third parties. You should review the privacy statements or policies applicable to the third-party services you connect to, use, or access. If you do not want your personal information shared with your social media account provider or other users of the social media service, please do not connect your social media account with your account for the services and do not participate in social sharing on the services.

Other Similar Technologies

Our Sites may use other technologies such as web beacons to help deliver Cookies on our Sites and count users who have visited those websites. We also may include web beacons in our promotional email messages or newsletters to determine whether you open and act on them, as well as for statistical purposes.

In addition to standard Cookies and web beacons, our services can also use other similar technologies to store and read data files on your computer. This is typically done to maintain your preferences or to improve speed and performance by storing certain files locally.

PerfectView, a software solution offered through our ST Imaging division, uses a web token that expires within one hour or in the event it fails to make a connection to Gmail and Google Drive.  PerfectView does not store or retain any other Google user data.

How to Control and Delete Cookies

Cookies can be controlled, blocked or restricted through your web browser settings. Information on how to do this can be found within the Help section of your browser. All Cookies are browser specific. Therefore, if you use multiple browsers or devices to access websites, you will need to manage your Cookie preferences across these environments.

If you are using a mobile device to access the Sites, you will need to refer to your instruction manual or other help/settings resource to find out how you can control Cookies on your device.

Please note: If you restrict, disable or block any or all Cookies from your web browser or mobile or other device, the Sites may not operate properly, and you may not have access to our products and services available through the Sites. We shall not be liable for any impossibility to use the Sites, products and services or degraded functioning thereof, where such are caused by your settings and choices regarding Cookies.

Do Not Track

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many website operators, including us, do not respond to DNT signals.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Sites are Not Intended for Children

Consistent with the requirements of the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, if we learn that we received any information directly from a child under age 13 without his or her parent’s verified consent, we will use that information only to inform the child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) that he or she cannot use the Sites, products or services.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy based upon evolving laws, regulations and industry standards, or as we may make changes to our business including our Sites, products and services. We will post changes to our Privacy Policy on this page and encourage you to review our Privacy Policy when you use our Sites, products or services to stay informed.
