This Statement of Privacy applies to the Stratonics Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the Stratonics website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
Stratonics collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Stratonics also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by Stratonics. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Stratonics for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Stratonics Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensi-tive data through Stratonics public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Stratonics does not read any of your private online communications.
Stratonics encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Stratonics so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Stratonics is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Stratonics and Stratonics family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
Stratonics collects and uses your personal information to operate the Stratonics Web site and deliver the services you have requested. Stratonics also uses your personally identifiable information to in-form you of other products or services available from Stratonics and its affiliates. Stratonics may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
Stratonics does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Stratonics 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. In addition, Stratonics may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal infor-mation except to provide these services to Stratonics, and they are required to maintain the confiden-tiality of your information.
Stratonics does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
Stratonics keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Stratonics, in order to de-termine what Stratonics services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Stratonics to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
Stratonics Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only 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 Stratonics or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Stratonics; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Stratonics, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The Stratonics Web site 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 pro-grams or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, 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 Stratonics pages, or register with Stratonics site or services, a cookie helps Stratonics 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 Stratonics Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Stratonics features that you customized.
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. If you choose to de-cline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Stratonics ser-vices or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Stratonics secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Stratonics secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, se-cure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of en-cryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Stratonics will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feed-back. Stratonics encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Straton-ics is protecting your information.
