Siemag Commitment to Data Privacy Protection
Protecting the security and privacy of your personal data is important to Siemag; therefore, we conduct our business in compliance with applicable laws on data privacy protection and data security. We hope the policy outlined below will help you understand what data Siemag may collect, how Siemag uses and safeguards that data and with whom we may share it.
Personal data
Through our Web sites, Siemag will not collect any
personal data about you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number or e-mail
address), unless you voluntarily choose to provide us with it (e.g. by
registration, survey), respectively, provide your consent, or unless otherwise
permitted by applicable laws and regulations for the protection of your
personal data.
Purpose of Use
When you do provide us with personal data, we
usually use it to respond to your inquiry, process your order or provide you
access to specific information or offers. Also, to support our customer
relationship with you:
·
we may store and process personal
data and share it with our worldwide affiliates to better understand your
business needs and how we can improve our products and services; or
· we (or a third party on our behalf) may use personal data to contact you about a Siemag offer in support of your business needs or to conduct online surveys to understand better our customers' needs.
If you choose not to have your personal data used
to support our customer relationship (especially direct marketing or market
research), we will respect your choice. We do not sell or otherwise market your
personal data to third parties, except to Siemag affiliates.
Purpose Limitation
Siemag will collect, use or disclose personal data
supplied by you online only for the purposes disclosed to you, unless the
disclosure:
·
is a use of the personal data for any
additional purpose that is directly related to the original purpose for which
the personal data was collected,
·
is necessary to prepare, negotiate
and perform a contract with you,
·
is required by law or the competent
governmental or judicial authorities,
·
is necessary to establish or preserve
a legal claim or defense,
·
is necessary to prevent fraud or
other illegal activities, such as wilful attacks on Siemag information
technology systems.
Communications or
Utilization Data
Through your use of telecommunications services to
access our Web site, your communications data (e.g. Internet protocol address)
or utilization data (e.g. information on the beginning, end and extent of each
access, and information on the telecommunications services you accessed) are
technically generated and could conceivably relate to personal data. To the
extent that there is a compelling necessity, the collection, processing and use
of your communications or utilization data will occur and will be performed in
accordance with the applicable data privacy protection legal framework.
Non-Personal Data
Collected Automatically
When you access our Web sites, we may automatically
(i.e., not by registration) collect non-personal data (e.g. type of Internet
browser and operating system used, domain name of the Web site from which you
came, number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed). We may
use this data and share it with our worldwide affiliates to monitor the
attractiveness of our Web sites and improve their performance or content.
"Cookies"
- Information Stored Automatically on Your Computer
When you view one of our Web sites, we may store
some data on your computer in the form of a "cookie" to automatically
recognize your PC next time you visit. Cookies can help us in many ways, for
example, by allowing us to tailor a Web site to better match your interests or
to store your password to save you having to re-enter it each time. If you do
not wish to receive cookies, please configure your Internet browser to erase
all cookies from your computer's hard drive, block all cookies or to receive a
warning before a cookie is stored.
Children
Siemag will not knowingly collect personal data
from children without insisting that they seek prior parental consent if
required by applicable law. We will only use or disclose personal data about a
child to the extent permitted by law, to seek parental consent pursuant to
local law and regulations or to protect a child. The definition of
"child" or "children" should take into account applicable
laws as well as national and regional cultural customs.
Security
To protect your personal data against accidental or
unlawful destruction, loss or alteration and against unauthorized disclosure or
access, Siemag uses technical and organizational security measures.
Links to Other Web
Sites
Siemag Web sites contain links to other Web sites. Siemag
is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of other Web sites.
