This Privacy Policy Statement outlines the obligations
Electrophysics has regarding the collection, use, and disclosure
of information collected from you by means of Electrophysics website(s).
By using an Electrophysics website, you consent to the collection
and use of your information in accordance with the terms of this
Privacy Policy Statement. If you do not want your information to
be collected and used in the manner described in this Privacy Policy
Statement, you can opt-out of all email newsletter activities or
simply cease your participation in the Electrophysics websites.
Information That We Collect
Electrophysics collects information from all visitors
to the Electrophysics website,
except as described below.
Visiting
Electrophysics collects non-personally identifiable,
anonymous information from all visitors to its websites. Examples
of the types of anonymous information that we collect include a user's
IP address, browser type, and the date and time a user accessed the
website. We use this anonymous information for system administration
purposes in order to enhance the operation of our website and make
it more useful to visitors. We may share this information with outside
parties, but each user's personal identity remains anonymous.
From time to time, we may use an outside agent to collect
anonymous user information. The collection and use of such information
will be for purposes substantially identical to those described above.
As part of this service, the outside agent may use cookies.
Registration
To use certain features of our websites, you may first
be required to complete a registration procedure which requires you
to provide certain personal information, such as your name and email
address as well as other possibly optional information, such as your
job title. We collect this information and use it internally for
purposes such as marketing, customer administration, technical administration
of the website, or to contact you. We will not share this information
with outside parties except as indicated in the 'Information Sharing'
section below.
Other Information
We may, from time to time, collect other information
from you (for instance, when we make special offers, hold promotions,
or conduct surveys). Information collected by these means is used
internally for purposes such as marketing, customer administration,
technical administration of our websites, or to contact you. We will
not share this information with outside parties except as indicated
in the "Information Sharing” section below.
Cookies
Our websites may use cookies. A cookie is a small amount
of data placed on your computer's hard drive that can transmit your
information to us. We use both session ID cookies and persistent
cookies. A session cookie terminates automatically after you close
your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive, but
can be removed by following the directions on your browser. You can
set your browser to disable cookies, but this may prevent you from
enjoying all of the features of our websites.
We use cookies to deliver content that is specific to
your interests, to streamline the login process, and to collect anonymous
user data in the aggregate. The cookies make your use of our websites
easier, for example permitting you to submit your information only
once while accessing otherwise restricted files, make the website
run more smoothly, and help us to maintain the security of our sites.
Some outside parties may use cookies on our websites
(for example, banner advertisers). Electrophysics has no access to
or control over these cookies.
Email Newsletters
Electrophysics may send you an email newsletter if you
are a newsletter
subscriber, current or past customer, have previously requested
information or we feel that you may be interested in receiving information
about Electrophysics products or services. All emails sent contain
a link to unsubscribe or to modify your profile. You may subscribe
or unsubscribe to any newsletter or e-mail communication from Electrophysics
at any time.
We make use of both "open-tracking" and "click-tracking" in
our HTML newsletters (i.e. emails that contain text and images).
Open-tracking allows us to find out how many recipients have viewed
our email newsletters and click-tracking allows us to find out which
links in the newsletter were clicked on. This helps us to refine
and improve the editorial content of our newsletters, and to provide
you with relevant information.
"HTML-sensing" is used to determine if your
email client supports HTML-based emails. This is employed only if
you request our system to detect whether you can receive HTML emails.
Information Sharing
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy Statement,
Electrophysics does not disclose your personally identifiable information
to outside parties.
Third Party Service Organizations:
Electrophysics may partner with other outside parties
to provide specific services. We may share email addresses or other
contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide
these services.
Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control:
In some marketing efforts, we work with affiliated businesses
that may offer products or services related to our products. Affiliate
businesses are identified in our marketing campaigns and the materials
that you receive. For example, an affiliate business may have authored
a white paper on an important topic that we are providing. As such,
your contact information may be provided to that affiliated business.
Electrophysics uses great care in selecting business
partners with whom we share your information. However, we are not
a guarantor of outside parties' practices regarding your information.
Users of our websites permit the sharing of their personal information
at their own risk, and shall not hold Electrophysics responsible
for acts or omissions of outside parties.
Electrophysics will disclose your information when we
believe in good faith that it is legally required, such as pursuant
to a warrant, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our rights
and property.
In the event that Electrophysics is acquired by or merged
into another company, all information collected will be transferred
to the acquiring company as one of Electrophysics' assets and will
be governed by the acquiring company's privacy policy, if any.
Security
Electrophysics takes precautions to protect the user
information that we collect, both online and offline. We also protect
user information offline. All user information (not just the sensitive
information mentioned above) has restricted access. Only employees
who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
a territory sales specialist or customer service representative)
are granted access to personally identifiable information.
