Effective as of January 6, 2010. At Nidec Avtron Automation, we respect and protect the privacy of our clients and visitors to our website. This Privacy Policy explains how visitors’ and clients’ personal information is collected and used. This Privacy Policy applies to Nidec-Avtron websites and our products and services. Visitors and clients can update their personal information by visiting one of our personal preference pages:
Nidec-Avtron collects information at several different points on our websites in order to better serve client and visitor needs. Nidec-Avtron is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. Under no circumstances will Nidec-Avtron sell, share or rent this information in any manner to any unaffiliated third parties.
Nidec-Avtron’s website offers several opportunities for visitors to register for promotional and informational mailings, online webinars and resources, and for assistance in evaluating our products and services. These registration forms enable users to opt in to Nidec-Avtron’s mailing lists and require users to give contact information (such as name and email address). We use this contact information to send the requested information about our company, products and services. Notice is given at the point of collection to enable users to choose whether or not they consent to the usage terms. Those who have signed up and subsequently wish to withdraw their participation may opt-out of receiving future mailings at any time (see the opt-out section below).
All financial and billing information we collect is used solely to check credit qualifications of prospective clients and to invoice our clients for the purchase of Nidec-Avtron products and services.
If an individual no longer wishes to subscribe to Nidec-Avtron newsletters and promotional communications, he or she can easily opt-out of receiving them by following instructions included in each newsletter or communication. If personally identifiable information changes, or if an email recipient no longer desires to receive specific mailings, he or she may correct, update or delete all information or specific details by sending an email to privacy@Nidec-Avtron.com.
Nidec-Avtron will not knowingly accept any information from children under the age of 13. For any children under the age of 13, a parent or guardian will need to contact Nidec-Avtron to provide consent for any portion of the site that gathers personal information. We require our clients to comply with COPPA with respect to their use of Nidec-Avtron products.
Nidec-Avtron takes every precaution to protect the confidentiality and security of the personal information of website visitors and clients by using industry-standard security safeguards, such as firewalls, coupled with carefully developed security procedures. These measures are designed to protect visitor and client information from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration.
Nidec-Avtron’s employees and its sub-contractors are trained and required to safeguard client and website visitor information. Using physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, we restrict access to such personal information to only those employees with a “need-to-know” for business purposes. Additionally, we conduct periodic audits (including via external security experts) to review the adequacy of our security procedures.
Following standard industry practice, Nidec-Avtron may use pixel tags and other methods to gather information about the emails it sends to registered website users and recipients of emails sent by the company’s registered users to others. Pixel tags are tiny graphic files that are included in HTML-encoded email messages. When such a message is opened in an HTML-capable email program, the recipient’s computer will access Nidec-Avtron’s servers to retrieve the pixel tag file, allowing Nidec-Avtron to record and store information such as email address, date and time the recipient viewed the email message, if the recipient’s email program is capable of receiving HTML, and other login information. Nidec-Avtron uses this information to optimize delivery of future messages to specific recipients and to provide information to registered users with respect to emails they send through the Nidec-Avtron System.
Nidec-Avtron maintains log files tracking IP addresses to analyze trends, help diagnose problems with our servers, and to monitor traffic/usage in order to provide better service to our clients and website visitors.
Nidec-Avtron uses cookies to deliver content specific to website visitors’ interests and to improve the convenience and efficiency of our clients’ experience when using our products and services. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive tied to statistical information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information in Nidec-Avtron products and email messages. Visitors can always choose not to accept cookies, but in doing so they may not be able to use some of the Nidec-Avtron products and services. These cookies are used to track visitor behavior, and Nidec-Avtron has no access to or control over these cookies. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Nidec-Avtron only and does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties.
“Sensitive information” is a subcategory of personal information. Sensitive information is defined as personal information specifying medical or health conditions, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, or the sex life of the individual. Sensitive information also includes personal information received from a third party where the third party treats and identifies it as sensitive.
Transfers of information permitted under this notice, either to third parties or within Nidec-Avtron, include the transfer of data from one jurisdiction to another, such as transfers to and from the United States of America. Nidec-Avtron will take reasonable precautions to protect personal information in its possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
Nidec-Avtron conducts compliance audits of its relevant privacy practices to verify adherence to this Policy. Any employee or sub-contractor that Nidec-Avtron determines is in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
Nidec-Avtron has a Privacy Manager who is responsible for the internal supervision of Nidec-Avtron privacy policies. Nidec-Avtron educates its employees about compliance with the privacy laws and has self-assessment procedures in place to ensure its compliance.
If an individual feels this company is not abiding by its posted privacy policy he or she should first contact Nidec-Avtron’s Privacy Manager by email at privacy@Nidec-Avtron.com.
Nidec-Avtron does not disclose personal information to third parties, except when one or more of the following conditions is true:
It is possible that as we continue to develop our business, Nidec-Avtron may be acquired. In such a transaction, client information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. If, as a result of the business transition, the users’ personally identifiable information will be used in a manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection, they will be given a choice consistent with our notification-of-changes section.
Nidec-Avtron’s website, or messages created by Nidec-Avtron, may contain links to other websites. Nidec-Avtron is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other websites. Third parties may independently collect information about website visitors when visitors view ads or other communications from third parties’ sites. If visitors do not want those companies to collect information about them, they should contact these companies directly.
Nidec-Avtron will notify its subscribers via email if any changes are made to our Privacy Policy. Any new policy will be posted on our site at least thirty (30) days prior to its taking effect. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify impacted subscribers via email. Subscribers will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
