Your privacy is important to THz3. This statement discloses
the information practices for THz3's web site, including what type of
information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and
with whom the information may be shared.
THz3 abides by the Safe Harbor framework as set forth
by the United States Department of Commerce regarding the collection,
use and retention of information collected from the European Union by
a web site on the THz3.com domain.
In general, you can visit THz3 on the Internet without
telling us who you are and without giving any personal information about
yourself. There are times, however, when our partners or we may need
information from you.
You may choose to give us personal information in a
variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us information,
such as your name and address or e-mail ID, to correspond with you,
to process an order, or to provide you with a subscription. You may
give us your credit card details to buy something from us or a description
of your education and work experience in connection with a job opening
at THz3 that you wish to be considered for. We intend to let you know
how we will use such information before we collect it from you; if you
tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further
contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your
wishes. If you give us personal information about somebody else, such
as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that you have his or her
permission to do so.
The following paragraphs describe in more detail how
THz3 may use your personal information and with whom we may share it.
Depending on the type of THz3 web site you are visiting, one or more
of the paragraphs may apply. For example, if you order a product from
a THz3 web site, your information will be handled as described here.
If you request something from a THz3 web site, for
example, a product or service, a callback, or specific marketing materials,
we will use the information you provide to fulfill your request. To
help us do this, we may share information with others, such as THz3's
Business Partners, financial institutions, shipping companies, postal
or government authorities (for example, Customs authorities) involved
in fulfillment, and others. In connection with a transaction, we may
also contact you as part of our customer satisfaction surveys or for
market research purposes.
The information you provide to THz3 on certain THz3
web sites may also be used by THz3 and selected third parties for marketing
purposes. Before we use it, however, we will offer you the opportunity
to choose whether or not to have your information used in this way.
In connection with a job application or inquiry, whether
advertised on a THz3 web site or otherwise, you may provide us with
information about yourself, such as a resume or curriculum vitae. We
may use this information throughout THz3 for the purpose of employment
consideration or your inquiry. Except where you tell us not to, we will
keep the information for future consideration.
We intend to protect your personal information and
to maintain its quality. We implement appropriate measures and processes,
such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information,
to help us to keep your information secure and to maintain its quality.
From time to time we may supplement information you
give us via THz3's web site with information from other sources, such
as information validating your address or other available information
about businesses. This is to help us maintain the accuracy of the information
we collect and to help us provide a better service.
In some cases THz3 uses suppliers to collect, use,
analyze and otherwise process information on its behalf. It is THz3's
practice to require such suppliers to handle information in a manner
consistent with THz3's policies.
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from
visits to our web sites to help us provide better customer service.
For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and
we also measure visitor activity on THz3 web sites, but we do so in
ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This information is
sometimes known as "click stream data." THz3 or others on THz3's behalf
may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide
better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data from you in a transaction,
we may extract some information about that transaction in a non-identifiable
format and combine it with other non-identifiable information such as
click stream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate
level to help us understand trends and patterns. This information is
not reviewed at an individual level. We collect the information we mentioned
in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies,
including one called "cookies". If you do not want your transaction
details used in the manner described above, you can disable your cookies.
A cookie is a piece of data that a web site can send to your browser,
which may then be stored on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies
your computer but not you. Some THz3 pages use cookies, sent by THz3
or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you
when you return to the web site. You can set your browser to notify
you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether
to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If
you do so, however, some web sites may not work properly.
Some THz3 web sites also use web beacon or other technologies
to better tailor those sites to provide better customer service. These
technologies may be in use on a number of pages across THz3's web sites.
When a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable notice of that
visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our suppliers.
These web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you don't
want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these
pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies. If you turn off
cookies, web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits
to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with
other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.
Please be aware that in certain circumstances, it is
possible that personal information may be subject to disclosure pursuant
to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders.
Technology will increasingly help give you more control
over your personal information. It will also help organizations to manage
their privacy practices and policies. As an information technology provider,
THz3 actively supports the development of privacy technologies to help
achieve these goals and to help create greater trust and confidence
in the way personal information is handled.
Other products and services are available which can
assist you with the control of your personal information while navigating
the web.
THz3 web sites may contain links to other web sites.
THz3 is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
those other web sites.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the site's
privacy statement, you should contact THz3 directly.
