PRIVACY
Technomics, Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy (the “Policy”) describes our information collection and use practices. The Policy applies only to the websites controlled by Technomics, Inc. and its subsidiaries, affiliates, and related companies (“Technomics,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), inducing www.technomics.net and www.galaxycharts.com, and where this Policy is posted (collectively, the “Websites”). This Policy is incorporated by reference into Technomics’s Terms of Use.
Please read this Policy carefully because, by accessing and using the Websites, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use our Websites.
What We Collect
We collect two types of information about you when you visit the Websites: (i) personally identifiable information; and (ii) non-personally identifiable information.1. Personally Identifiable Information
Personally identifiable information includes information such as, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number, and any other information about you that is not otherwise publicly available. The only personally identifying information that we collect and store about you is the information that you have chosen to provide to us. For example, if you contact us through our Websites with a request for information, we may collect your name, address, e-mail address, and any other personal information you provide so that we can respond to your request or question.
2. Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-personally identifiable information includes information regarding the pages on our Websites you have visited, your IP address, and other information that does not identify you personally. When you visit our Websites, we may collect non-personally identifiable information about you through the use of cookies, clear gifs, referrers, web beacons, or other technologies. By accessing our Websites, you agree to allow us to collect and record information on our server logs from your browser, including among other things, your IP Address, cookie information, the time you accessed our Websites, the type of web browser and operating system or platform you use, your interaction with our Websites, the Internet address you left to visit our Websites, and/or the Internet address you visit after you leave our Websites.
What We Use and Share
Technomics does not use, share, or disclose your personally identifiable information to any nonaffiliated third parties, except as described in this Policy or when Technomics has your permissions.
Technomics may share your personally identifiable information with third parties, such as credit card processing companies or service providers and third-party processors who work on behalf of or with Technomics, in order to fulfill your request or otherwise complete a service requested by you. For example, if you purchase a product from us, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as your name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date). We or a third party fulfillment vendor will use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.
Technomics may share your personally and non-personally identifiable information with third parties that help manage our Websites.
Technomics may use your personally identifiable information to customize the advertising and content you may see on the Websites and improve our products and services.
Technomics reserves the right to disclose your personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information if we reasonably believe we are required to do so by law, to protect our company or to protect the rights of a customer, to reduce the risk of fraud, and to comply with a court order.
Technomics reserves the right to transfer personally identifiable information we have collected about you if Technomics is acquired by or merged with another company, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of Technomics’s assets, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy.
Technomics reserves the right to share non-personally identifiable information with third-parties in aggregate form for research, auditing, marketing, administration of the Websites, and other purposes. Because aggregated data is not associated with any particular person, the third parties with whom we share this information will not have access to your personally identifiable information.
Data Uploaded to Our Websites
If you choose to upload data to our Websites for the purpose of creating a galaxy chart or other product or service offered by the Websites, the data you provide will be used solely for the requested purpose and neither the data nor the resulting product will be retained by Technomics after the requested product or service has been provided.
Children
The Websites are not targeted to children under the age of 13 and Technomics does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from any child under the age of 13 without parental consent. When we receive such information, we delete it as soon as we discover it and do not use it or share it with third parties.
Your Preferences
Technomics respects your right to control what personally identifiable information about you is collected and used by Technomics. If you have questions about the collection or use of your personally identifiable information, please contact us at it@technomics.net.
Technomics reserves the right to send you certain communications relating to Technomics’s products and services, such as service announcements and administrative messages that are considered part of your business relationship with Technomics, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.
Third Party Websites
This Policy only applies to the Websites and does not apply to the websites of other companies, individuals, or organizations to which we may provide links. These third-party websites may have different polices relating to your privacy and the information they collect about you. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OR PRACTICES OF ANY OTHER WEBSITES. We encourage visitors to our Websites to read the privacy policies of each and every website you visit.
Security
Technomics takes reasonable security measures to protect any personally identifiable information under our control against loss, misuse, or alteration. Except as otherwise stated in this Policy, access to your personally identifiable information is limited to only those employees and third parties with a specific need to access and use this information.
International Transfer of Information
Technomics may transfer your personally identifiable information from your country (or jurisdiction) of residence to another country (or jurisdiction). If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions outside of the United States, please note that the United States may not have the same data protection laws as your country of residence. By providing your personally identifiable information to Technomics, you consent to: (i) the use of your personally identifiable information for the uses described in this Policy; and (ii) the transfer of your personally identifiable information to the United States.
Changes to this Policy
Technomics reserves the right, at any time and without notice, to makes changes to this Policy. If we make changes to the Policy, we will post these changes on our Websites so you will always be aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. Any change will be effective immediately upon posting.
If Technomics makes a material change to its policy regarding use of your personally identifiable information after such information has been collected, Technomics will notify you via e-mail, if you provided us your email address, or by posting notice on the Websites, if we do not have your email address. If you do not opt-in to the proposed changes to the use of your personally identifiable information, we will continue to use any personally identifiable information we have collected about you in accordance with the privacy policy in effect when we collected the information from you.
