PRIVACY POLICY
SocketLabs wants to build trust and confidence by promoting fair
information practices and ensuring that its visitors retain their privacy
when they provide us with personal information or purchase our products. SocketLabs reserves the right to update the
Privacy Statement at any
time without notice to you. The most current version of the Privacy
Statement can be
reviewed by clicking on the "Privacy Statement" hypertext link located at the
bottom of our Web pages.
Use of Your Personal
Information
The personal information we collect from you will be used by SocketLabs and
its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates to provide the service or carry
out the transaction you have requested or authorized. This may include
using the personal information for the following purposes:
- To provide you with important information about the product or service
that you are using, including critical updates and notifications;
- To make a site or service easier to use by eliminating the need for you
to repeatedly enter the same information or by customizing the site or
service to your particular interests or preferences;
- To improve the product or service and to provide better customer service
to users.
SocketLabs does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.
SocketLabs may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external
business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to
you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information
(e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third
party.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our
behalf, such as packaging, sending and delivering purchases and other
mailings, answering customer questions about products or services,
processing event registration, or performing statistical analysis of our
services. We will only provide those companies the personal information
they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that
information for any other purpose.
SocketLabs may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or
in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to
the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on SocketLabs or
the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of SocketLabs and
its family of Web sites, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect
the personal safety of users of SocketLabs, its Web sites, or the public.
Personally identifiable information collected by SocketLabs may be stored
and processed in the United States or any other country in which SocketLabs
or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities.
Controlling and
Accessing Your Personal Information
SocketLabs believes that you should be able to exercise control over how the
personal information you provide will be used. If you provide personal
information to SocketLabs for one purpose, you will be able to opt-out of
that personal information being used for other unrelated purposes.
Please be aware that the choices you make in one context will not
necessarily apply to personal information you may have provided to
SocketLabs in the context of other, separately operated, SocketLabs products,
sites or services.
Security of Your
Personal Information
SocketLabs carefully protects the security of the personal information you
provide. Personal information we collect is stored in password-controlled
servers with limited access, and we protect this information from loss or
misuse, and from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or
destruction. When sensitive personal information (such as a credit card
number) is transmitted over the Internet, it is protected through the use
of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Use of Cookies On SocketLabs Sites
Many SocketLabs web sites use "cookies" to help you personalize your online
experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a
web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses
to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you or your computer,
and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie
to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature
to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that
you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize a
SocketLabs web page, or register with a SocketLabs site or service, a cookie
helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This
simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as
billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the
same SocketLabs web site, the information you previously provided can be
retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized. While
some cookies contain personal information, others allow you to customize a
site while remaining anonymous.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, if you choose to
decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive
features of the sites or services you visit.
Contact Information
At SocketLabs, we are working hard to protect your privacy, while delivering
products that bring you the speed, power and convenience you desire in
your personal computing. Our privacy principles represent our commitment
to ensuring that your personal information is safe and secure. If you
believe that SocketLabs has not adhered to these policies, please contact us
by email
and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and
remedy the problem.
