This statement sets forth Cordys’ Privacy Statement for Cordys.com and other Cordys websites and describes the practices that Cordys will follow with respect to the privacy of users of these sites.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT, THE PRACTICES OF THIS SITE, OR YOUR DEALINGS WITH THIS WEB SITE, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT OUR WEBMASTER AT: WEBMASTER@CORDYS.COM

What is personally identifiable information?

"Personally identifiable information" is information about you, such as name, address, e-mail address, user ID, mailing address, and so on.

What is the scope of the CORDYS network?

As a global company, Cordys operates a number of websites around the world. Any information that you submit to one of our sites in any one country or language may be sent electronically to a server for one of these sites. As such, the information may be used, stored, or processed outside the country where it was recorded.

How is information collected, used, and disclosed?

We do not collect personally identifiable information — including your e-mail address — unless we first ask you for it. On some of our sites, we may request that you voluntarily supply us with information, including your e-mail address, street address, telephone number or other information so that we may enhance your site visit or follow up with you after your visit. Whether you provide any information is entirely up to you. If you have voluntarily provided information, you consented to the collection and use of your personally identifiable information as described in this Privacy Statement. In some circumstances, Cordys may share information you voluntarily provided with authorized business alliances. Cordys makes available a communication and collaboration tool to users of the Cordys’ websites; you acknowledge and agree that other users of the Cordys website may have access to your personally identifiable information (e.g. because it has been added to an address book). We do not sell or rent personally identifiable information collected through these sites to anyone. You hereby agree that you will not use any personally identified information available on the Cordys’ websites for any purposes other than the purpose for which it is made available on the website.

During the period you are logged onto our site we log IP addresses, browser and platform types, domain names, access times, referral addresses, and your activity while using or reviewing our site. Cordys may also disclose information in special cases when we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) enforce the Web site Terms and Conditions of Use; or (d) act to protect the interests of our users or others.

If you have voluntarily provided personally identifiable information, we may, from time to time, send you mail or e-mail regarding products and services.

What are cookies and how are they used?

Some Cordys sites, like many other commercial websites, may utilize a standard technology called "cookies" to collect information about how our site is used. Cookies were designed to help a website operator determine that a particular user had visited the site previously and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. Cookies are small strings of text that websites can send to your browser. Cookies cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or obtain your e-mail address. If you are simply browsing a Cordys informational site, a cookie may be used to identify your browser as one that has visited the site before.

We may also make use of memory-based cookies in support of authenticating the user of certain Cordys web applications. Similarly, if you are a registered user of a site providing service to Cordys’ clients (and have a user ID and password), we may use cookies so that we can provide personalized information based on preferences you have indicated while using the site. Although you have the ability to modify your browser to either accept all cookies, notify you when a cookie is sent, or reject all cookies, it may not be possible to utilize Cordys’ services which require registration if you reject cookies. We do not follow your browsing path outside of the Cordys site, except for referral data discussed above. Advertising networks that serve ads onto our websites may also use their own cookies; we have no access or control over these cookies.

How can you correct, access, and update your information?

You may view and edit your personally identifiable information at any time by contacting us using the link provided on the website. Or if you prefer, you may contact our Webmaster at webmaster@cordys.com

How do we protect your information?

We use reasonable commercial efforts to protect your personally identifiable information. This includes, among other things, using industry standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection and site monitoring. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our servers. Internally, we will restrict access to your personally identifiable information to employees and authorized business partners who need access to the information in order to do their jobs. These employees and authorized business partners are limited in number, and are committed to our privacy policies. We will review our security arrangements from time to time as we deem appropriate. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post the changes on this page so that you always will know what information we collect, how we use it, and when and how we will disclose it.

How can you help protect your information?

If you are using a Cordys website for which you registered and chose a password, we recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. Also remember to sign out of the registered site by closing your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personally identifiable information and correspondence if others have access to your computer.

What about links to other sites?

Cordys’ sites may contain links to other sites, including those of our authorized business partners. While we seek to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by other sites.
