VORTEC
is aware that the security of your private information from the use of our
web-site is an important concern. We take the protection of your personal data
very seriously. Therefore we would like you to know what data we maintain and
what data we discard. With this privacy statement, we would like to inform you
about our security measures.
Collection of Data
You can use
our web site without disclosing your personal data. You are not required to
provide personal information as a condition of using our site, except as may be
necessary to provide you a product or service at your request. When you use our
web site, we store data on our servers for various security purposes. This data
may include the name of your internet service provider, the web site that you
used to link to our site, the web sites that you visit from our site and your
IP-Address. This data could possibly lead to your identification, but we do not
use it to do so. We do use the data from time to time for statistical purposes,
but maintain the anonymity of each individual user so that the person cannot be
identified. In cases when personal data is provided to others to provide you
products or services you have requested, or for other purposes you have
authorized, we rely on technical and organizational means to assure that
applicable data security regulations are followed.
Collection and processing of
personal data
We collect
personal data only when you provide it to us, through registration, completion
of forms or e-mails, as part of an order for products or services, inquiries or
requests about materials being ordered and similar situations in which you have
chosen to provide the information to us.
The database and its contents remain at our company and stay with data
processors or servers acting on our behalf and responsible to us. Your personal
data will not be passed on by us or by our agents for use by third parties in
any form whatsoever, unless we have obtained your consent or are legally
required to do so.
We will retain control of and responsibility for the use of any personal data
you disclose to us. Some of this data may be stored or processed at computers
located in other jurisdictions, whose data protection laws may differ from the
jurisdiction in which you live. In such cases, we will ensure that appropriate
protections are in place to require the data processor in that country to
maintain protections on the data that are equivalent to those that apply in the
country in which you live.
Purposes of Use
The data we
collect will only be used for the purpose of supplying you with the requested
products or services or for other purposes for which you have given your
consent, except where otherwise provided by law.
Right of Access and
Correction
You have the
right to review and amend any personal data stored in our system if you believe
it may be out of date or incorrect. Just send an e-mail to the address given in
the imprint or contact the Data Security Officer at the address below.
Right of Cancellation
You have the
right at any time to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data in
the future. Again, just send an e-mail to the address given in the imprint or
contact the Data Security Officer at the address below.
Data Retention
We only
retain personal data for as long as is necessary for us to render a service you
have requested or to which you have given your consent, except where otherwise
provided by law (e.g. in connection with pending litigation).
Use of Cookies
In some web
sites, so-called Cookies are used in order for us to improve the efficiency of
your individual use of the web site. Cookies are identifiers that our web-server
could send to your computer in order to identify the computer being used for the
duration of the session. Most browsers are set-up to accept these Cookies
automatically. In addition, you can deactivate the storing of cookies or adjust
your browser to inform you before the Cookie is stored on your computer.
Security
VORTEC uses
technical and organizational security precautions to protect your data from
manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Any personal
data that is provided to VORTEC by you will be encrypted in transit to prevent
its possible misuse by third parties. Our security procedures are continuously
revised based on new technological developments.
Children
In light of
the importance of protecting children’s privacy, we do not collect, process or
use on our website any information relating to an individual whom we know to be
under 13 years old without the prior, verifiable consent of his or her legal
representative. Such legal representative has the right, upon request, to view
the information provided by the child and/or to require that it be deleted.
Contacts
Please
contact the Data Security Officer of VORTEC with any problems, questions or
suggestions that you may have. The constant development of the internet requires
occasional adjustments to our privacy statement. We retain the right to make
changes when necessary.
