Privacy policy |
||||
|
The last modification to this privacy policy was done on May 30th 2006. Interbyte® is very sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. We believe it is important you know how we treat the information you may provide to us. Unless prominently and specifically stated otherwise, the information you provide is never shared outside of Interbyte®. This privacy statement applies only to information collected by web addresses in the interbyte.be and interbyte.eu domains, hereafter referred to collectively as Interbyte®. |
||||
|
How we gather information |
||||
|
If you purchase a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form.
You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card
number, expiration date). We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an
order, we will use this information to contact you. We also use the mailing address to send you conference brochures and other
items of interest. Interbyte® may occasionally provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code). We may share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners and advertisers. This information does not identify individual users. |
||||
|
Log files |
||||
|
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may
include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and
click stream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. |
||||
|
Cookies |
||||
|
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a users' computer for record-keeping purposes. We do use cookies on this site.
Interbyte® may use both session ID cookies and/or persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to
navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for
an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browsers help
file. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site, such as contests or surveys, will be limited. The Interbyte® Store requires the use of cookies for the shopping cart. |

|
How we protect your personal information |
||||
|
Interbyte® safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. Likewise, we
urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often,
use a combination of letters, numbers and symbols, and make sure you use a secure browser. The Interbyte® website uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. When entering personal information, we strongly recommend an SSL-enabled web browser. Web browsers developed after Internet Explorer 3 and Netscape 3 use SSL version 3. (For the best experience at the Interbyte® web site, recommend using Internet Explorer 5, or better browsers.) This protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it is transmitted over the Internet. On some areas of the Interbyte® web site, users do have the option to use a non-SSL connection. We do this for compatibility for older browsers. When you enter credit card information on the Interbyte® web site, we do not store credit card numbers on our servers. Credit card numbers are submitted to a credit card authorization service. This service provides Interbyte® with credit card validation information only. We do not have access to your personal financial data. |
||||
|
Newsletters and promotional E-mail |
||||
|
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletters and promotional communications from Interbyte®, you may opt-out of receiving
them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing us at info@interbyte.be. |
||||
|
Links to other sites |
||||
|
The Interbyte® web site contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by Interbyte®. Please be aware that Interbyte®
is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to
read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. |
||||
|
Information obtained from third parties |
||||
|
Interbyte® does not sell or trade your personal information. We may at times receive contact lists from other organizations.
We may send mailings such as brochures to these addresses. Typically, these are one-time mailings, and the data is not entered
into our database. If you want to remove yourself from the third partys' database, you must contact them directly. These mailings
have a brochure code printed on the mailing label. By providing this code, we may be able to tell you from where we received
your contact info. |
||||
|
Changes to this privacy statement |
||||
|
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places
we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any,
we disclose it. We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page. |
