We collect such information in order to make our Websites function correctly and provide you the functionality that you see on these Websites, as our servers use this information to deliver to you the pages on these Websites. We also use this information to better understand how visitors use our Websites and how we can better tune our Websites, its contents and functionality to meet your needs.

Information We Collect

As a visitor to these Websites, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information as described above in Section Browsing above.

It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities and/or make any purchases.

When you use the Websites, AKVIS or third parties authorized by AKVIS may also collect certain technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Websites and its services. When you surf the Internet, your Internet browser (such as Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer) automatically transmits some information to AKVIS every time you access content on one of our internet domains within the Websites. Examples of such information include the URL of the Web page you were just on (known as the “Refer”), the IP (or Internet Protocol) address of the computer you are using, or the browser version you are using to access our site. All of this information may be collected by AKVIS and used to help improve our offerings to you.

We use such data to facilitate and track your use of the Websites and its services. AKVIS also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Websites. Without expressly informing you in each particular circumstance, we do not match such information with any of your personal information.

When you submit personal information to AKVIS through these Websites, you understand and agree that this information may be transferred across national boundaries and may be stored and processed in any of the countries in which AKVIS and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain offices. You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities, the collection, transferring, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted vendors of AKVIS. Such vendors are bound by contract not to use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties.

AKVIS may establish relationships with various service providers whose services may become available to you from these Websites or from other websites that are linked to these Websites. Typically, these providers would offer services that AKVIS customers might find useful, such as those that can be used in conjunction with AKVIS services and products. In order to use those services, you may be required to provide personal information to the providers. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, personal information that you provide while you are visiting the provider's Websites will be subject to the privacy policy posted on such site, and personal information that you provide while on these Websites in conjunction with a provider's service will be subject to this Privacy Policy.

Information Relating to Children

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) was passed by the U.S. Congress in November 1998. COPPA provides parents with specific rights regarding their children's privacy. For additional information and resources on COPPA, please visit the Federal Trade Commission Web site at http://www.ftc.gov/. The AKVIS Websites and any products or services available on that site are not directed at children under 13 years of age and, therefore, COPPA does not apply. However, we recognize that children under the age of 13 may access these Websites and subscribe to the newsletter, purchase products and services, or download software programs. The collection of information is covered above. Parents and Legal Guardians may request from us to review, delete or stop the collection of the personally identifiable information of their child. You may do so by contacting us by letter (using the address information provided at the bottom of this page).

Securing the Transmission and Storage of Information

AKVIS operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary, and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our users. AKVIS takes steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you use these services at your own risk.

We treat the information you provide to us as confidential information; it is, accordingly, subject to our company’s security procedures and corporate policies regarding protection and use of confidential information. After personally identifiable information reaches AKVIS it is stored on a server with physical and electronic security features as customary in the industry, including utilization of login/password procedures and electronic firewalls designed to block unauthorized access from outside of AKVIS. Because laws applicable to personal information vary by country, our offices or other business operations may put in place additional measures that vary depending on the applicable legal requirements. Information collected on the sites covered by this Privacy Policy is processed and stored in the United States and possibly other jurisdictions and also in other countries where AKVIS and its service providers conduct business. All AKVIS employees are aware of our privacy and security policies. Your information is only accessible to those employees who need it in order to perform their jobs.

C. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

How your personal information is used

AKVIS collects your information in order to record and support your participation in the activities you select. We will use your e-mail address to send a confirmation and, if necessary, might use the other information to contact you for help to process the purchase or service you have selected.

Cookies

Our Websites use “cookie” technology. “Cookies” are short pieces of data generated by a web server that a website stores on a user’s computer. Certain pages on our Websites may require the use of a cookie for purposes of keeping information you enter on multiple pages together. Cookies also enable us to customize our Websites and offerings to your needs and provide you with a better online experience with us. In addition, cookies are used to:

• measure usage of various pages on our Websites to help us make our information more pertinent to your needs and easy for you to access;

• identify and categorized the internet webpages from which the visitor came to the Websites and observe the browsing patterns; and

• provide functionality such as online orders, AKVIS’ services and other functionality that we believe would be of interest and value to you.

The types of cookies that we use are referred to as “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you leave the Websites. Persistent cookies remain on your computer hard drive until you delete them. We do not use cookies to gather information concerning your visits to other websites, nor ascertain any personally identifiable information about you apart from what you voluntarily provide us in your dealings with AKVIS. Cookies do not, under ordinary circumstances, corrupt or damage your computer, programs, or computer files.

In addition, the service providers we use to serve and host our advertisements, and/or deliver our e-mails, use session and persistent cookies, to track the number of times the Websites are accessed and whether the site was accessed from an advertisement. There are no cookies in the advertisement or e-mail. A cookie is placed on your computer only if and when you click on an advertisement or open the e-mail. The cookie generated from the advertisement or e-mail does not contain any personally identifiable information and will remain on your hard drive until you delete it.

You may set your browser to block cookies (consult the instructions for your particular browser on how to do this), although doing so may adversely affect your ability to perform certain transactions, use certain functionality and access certain content on our Websites.

Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

AKVIS may use the services of third parties, such as e-mail service providers, purchase, shipping and order processing merchants and marketing companies that act as independent contractors on behalf of AKVIS. These parties are contractually prohibited from using personally identifiable information for any purpose other than for the purpose AKVIS specifies. We do provide non-personally identifiable information to certain service providers for their use on an aggregated basis for the purpose of performing their contractual obligations to us. We prohibit the sale or transfer of personal information to entities outside of the AKVIS’ affiliates for their use without your approval.

AKVIS may disclose your personally identifiable information if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, a subpoena, or other legal process. AKVIS may also disclose personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating this Privacy Policy, the terms of your agreements with the Company or to protect the safety of our users and the public or under confidentiality and licensing agreements with certain third parties which assist us in developing, operating and maintaining the Websites and their content.

In the event that all or substantially all of AKVIS’ stock and/or all or substantially all assets are transferred or sold to another entity, AKVIS may transfer personally identifiable information to the acquiring entity. If, as a result of such a business transition, your personally identifiable information will be used in a materially different manner, you will be given choice consistent with our policy regarding notification of changes.

Choices available to you

You can always choose whether or not to disclose personally identifiable information and that choice will not prevent you from using the AKVIS Websites. Please note, however, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with some of the services dependent upon the collection of this information and you will be given an opportunity to “opt-in” and make your preference choices for any items that are optional and which are not prerequisite for our rendering such services.

We reserve the right to send a one-time registration confirmation email after receiving the subscription request.

If you do not wish to receive e-mails with updates and information please unsubscribe by sending email to: info@akvis.com.
