privacy statement
Your privacy is important to DISTek Integration Inc. ("DISTek"). This
statement discloses the information practices for the DISTEK.COM website,
including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information
is used, and with whom the information is shared. This statement, which applies to
the DISTEK.COM website, may be updated from time to time. By using our website, you consent to DISTek's collection and use of
information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Statement.
We are
committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy.
We will not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third
parties. We will not use or disclose your information for purposes other than
those set forth in this Privacy Statement, unless you give us your permission or
we are legally compelled to do so, such as by law, subpoena, or court order, or
unless such disclosure or use becomes necessary for the protection of our legal
interests.
1. INFORMATION COLLECTION
The kind of information
we collect from you online depends on how you decide to use our website or
services. If you choose simply to browse our site, you will not need to submit
any personal information. However, you may choose to provide us with your
personally identifiable information by such means as e-mailing us, sending us
your resume, or filling out certain forms on our website.
Our system may
gather certain technical data about your visit, which helps us understand
better how our site is being used and how we can improve it. This information is gathered automatically and does not identify you personally; it may include your
computer's IP address, as well as statistics about how
visitors navigate through our site.
2. INFORMATION USE
(a)
If you choose to contact us by e-mail, we will keep your contact information
private, although we may use it to respond to your message.
No
confidentiality will apply to the subject matter of your message, however, so
we recommend that you do not send us any ideas or suggestions that you consider
proprietary or confidential. All e-mail content (except your contact
information) will be treated as volunteered to DISTek for our use in any
manner.
(b) Solicited Information: We may ask our visitors for personal
information through forms on our website, for downloading certain technical
information, or completing a request form. The personal information you choose
to provide on these forms, which would typically include your name, company
name, and contact information, may be used by DISTek in a manner consistent
with the stated purpose of the given form.
In addition, we may use
visitor responses for non-personal assessment of their preferences so we can
tailor our site's content to better suit the tastes and needs of our audience.
If we intend to use or share your personal information for any other purposes,
we will notify you of that purpose and give you a chance to opt out. For
example, if you are asked for your e-mail address, we will not add it to any
automatic mailing lists unless we've asked for permission to do so.
(c)
Employment Opportunities: Our site may provide you with a means for submitting
your resume or other personal information for consideration for employment
opportunities at DISTek. Personal information received through resume
submissions will be kept confidential. We may contact you for additional
information to supplement your resume, and we may use your information within
DISTek, or keep it on file for future use, as we make our hiring decisions.
(d) Automatically Gathered Data: We may use the non-personal
information gathered automatically by our system--such as computer IP
addresses, the kind of browsers our viewers are using, and a record of the
pages viewed on our site--so we can understand how to make our site more
convenient and useful to our audience. We may also share this anonymous
information, in aggregate form, with parties we hire to help us analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better
customer service. Also, when we collect personal data from you in connection
with a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in an
anonymous format and combine it with other anonymous information such as
clickstream data. This anonymous information is used and analyzed only at an
aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. None of this
information is reviewed at an individual level.
(e) Transfer of Data:
In order to promote continuity of services and support, if DISTek's business is
acquired or merges with another company, we may transfer the information you've
shared with us to the successor company. In the unlikely event that we cease
business operations, we may similarly transfer this data to another company
that offers comparable products or services. The use and disclosure of
transferred data may be governed by the privacy practices of the successor
company.
3. MANAGING YOUR PRIVACY
As stated above, we will
not collect personally identifying information about you without your
knowledge, so the decision whether or not to share this information is
completely up to you. You may request deletion or modification of your other
personal information by contacting us at webmaster@distek.com. Note that any
deleted information may remain in our data store as a result of routine system
back-ups, but we will no longer use that information.
4. INFORMATION
SECURITY
In order to maintain the integrity and security of your
personal information, we store this information on non-public computer systems
with firewall and password protection to prevent unauthorized access. Of course, we appreciate your help in
safeguarding the integrity of your own privacy. We encourage you to let us know
immediately if you suspect that the information you share with us is being used
in any way contrary to this Privacy Statement, and we will investigate your
inquiry as promptly as possible. To contact us, send e-mail to
webmaster@distek.com.
5. OUTSIDE LINKS
Our website may
contain links to other sites. Please be aware that these third-party sites may
collect information about you, and that they operate according to their own
privacy practices, which may differ from DISTek's. Remember that once you're

control. If you have any questions about linking to our site, contact
