stated below in our privacy policy.
CONSUMER PRIVACY
I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT:
INDIVIDUAL INTERNET CONSUMERS
A. Personally
Identifiable Information (PII).
Under no circumstances does
Discount Spectrum Analyzers request or collect sensitive PII such as
an Internet user's medical/health conditions; racial or ethnic
origin; political, religious or philosophical beliefs or
affiliations; trade union membership or sex life.
B.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII).
When a
consumer responds to or views an Internet advertisement served by
Discount Spectrum Analyzers (such as through third-party Web sites or
email solicitation) or visits an advertiser's web site, we send a
cookie and/or gif file ("Cookies") to assign an anonymous,
unique identifier to the end user's Internet browser. Cookies are
small data files commonly used on the Internet to help optimize and
personalize the Internet end user experience and identify repeat
visitors to Web sites.
Discount Spectrum Analyzers uses
Cookies to obtain information about the preferences of consumers and
the services they select; and also to optimize and personalize the
Internet user's experience. If the Internet user re-visits the
advertiser's site directly, Discount Spectrum Analyzers is able to
continue to track the user's activities.
Like most standard
Web site servers, we use log files to collect Internet protocol (IP)
addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time stamp. We use the
information to analyze site usage, administer the site, understand
usage and navigation trends in aggregate, and determine the relevance
of content. This information, however, is not linked to any
personally identifiable information.
We also may use Internet
browsing and online purchase data associated with an anonymous
identifier to develop a predictive statistical user profile of the
end user's needs and interests. Discount Spectrum Analyzers does not
use Cookies or log files to collect end users' names, physical
addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers,
social security numbers, or any other information which can be used
to identify a specific person. We may match the IP address and user
profile with email address data obtained separately in order to
better target campaigns to meet user's interests, but will not share
this information with third parties.
Discount Spectrum
Analyzers has relationships with other companies that we allow to
place ads and links on our Web pages. Please note that when you click
on one of these links, you are moving to another web site. We
encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites as
their privacy policies may differ from ours.
Some of these other companies may use marketing technology that
allows advertisers to add non-personally-identifying demographic
information, such as age, gender, area code, or ZIP code, to the
non-identifiable profile data. Thus, there is no direct connection
between an end user's online choices and his or her personal
identity.
In some cases, Discount Spectrum Analyzers receives
and records partial email addresses of Internet users, only in
circumstances where the user voluntarily provided its identity and
contact information through the Advertiser's site or third-party
marketer's site. This partial email address does not enable Discount
Spectrum Analyzers to personally identify an Internet User nor is it
shared, sold, rented, or given away.
II. INFORMATION
SHARING
Discount Spectrum Analyzers may release account
and any other personal information when we believe release is
appropriate to respond to a subpoena or otherwise comply with the
law; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Discount Spectrum
Analyzers or others. This may include exchanging information with
other companies and organizations for fraud protection.
III.
CONSUMER CHOICE AND ACCESS
A. Opting Out.
Some
Cookies have an "opt-out" option. This process does not
remove Discount Spectrum Analyzers's Cookie from your system; it
simply replaces it with an opt-out Cookie that does not contain any
unique identifiers. If Discount Spectrum Analyzers provides such a
process it is detailed below.
Some of Discount Spectrum
Analyzers's Cookies do not have an "opt-out" option, yet
you still have the option of blocking the use of Cookies by changing
a setting in your Internet browser. Please see your browser
supplier's Web site for details on how to do this.
Discount
Spectrum Analyzers does not maintain a process for an individual
consumer to opt-out of Discount Spectrum Analyzers's Cookies.
B.
Accessing Consumer Information.
Because they are not directed
towards individual Internet users, most sites do not maintain a
process for an individual consumer to review and/or request changes
to any PII collected.
Except as provided below, Discount
Spectrum Analyzers does not maintain a process for an individual
consumer to access his/her PII.
IV. SECURITY
Discount
Spectrum Analyzers employs industry standard security measures to
ensure the security of all data. Any data that is stored on Discount
Spectrum Analyzers's servers is treated as proprietary and
confidential and is not available to the public. Discount Spectrum
Analyzers allows access to this data only to those employees or third
parties who have a need to know such information for the purpose of
effectively delivering Discount Spectrum Analyzers's products and
services by means of user login and password requirements.
No
transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely
secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of
Discount Spectrum Analyzers to intercept or access transmissions or
private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your
PII, Discount Spectrum Analyzers cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us. You acknowledge and
assume this risk when communicating with Discount Spectrum
Analyzers.
V. CONSENT AND CHANGES
Discount
Spectrum Analyzers may find it necessary or be legally obligated to
update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will
post those changes on this page and update the effective date so that
you are always aware of the information we collect, how we use it,
and under what circumstances we disclose it. Except as otherwise
required by law, modifications to this Privacy Policy will not affect
the privacy of data collected by Discount Spectrum Analyzers prior to
the effective date of the policy change.
VI. CHILDREN'S
PRIVACY AND SPAM
Discount Spectrum Analyzers is very
sensitive to the issue of children's privacy and makes every effort
to protect the privacy of children using the Internet. It is possible
that Discount Spectrum Analyzers's Web site, products, and services
may may not be appropriate for or directed at children. Children
(persons under the age of 18) are not eligible to do business with us
and we do not collect personal information from any person we
actually know is under the age of 13.
Discount Spectrum
Analyzers is committed to proper Internet practices and full
compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. § 7701). It
is our policy to prohibit the sending of unsolicited or "Spam"
e-mail by Discount Spectrum Analyzers or any of our marketing
partners.
Please note that under the CAN-SPAM Act, an
advertiser is required to provide an opt-out mechanism for consumers
to unsubscribe from future emails about the advertiser. Although not
required to by law, many email marketers also include an opt-out
mechanism to enable consumers to be removed from their mailing list.
This has caused some confusion for consumers in opting out. The table
below clarifies which opt-out mechanism you should use for commercial
emails.

VII. DATA PROCESSING/SAFE HARBOR
The
European Union ("EU") maintains strict privacy laws. These
rules differ significantly from US laws. To reconcile these
differences, the US and the EU have created a Safe Harbor that
defines mutually acceptable privacy operations. Discount Spectrum
Analyzers adheres to the Safe Harbor principals. For more information
