Privacy Policy

Welcome to Edvotek’s Website Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy outlines the data processing and privacy practices of Edvotek, Inc. This Privacy Policy outlines Edvotek’s practices regarding the collection and use of individually identifiable information (“Personal Data”) that Edvotek collects about you on or via www.edvotek.com. This Policy does not apply to other data or processing practices, such as data collected offline or via other web pages (which may have their own privacy statements).

If and when our Privacy Policy changes in any material or substantive way (such as any new uses of your Personal Data), the revised Privacy Policy will be posted on this Site and the Effective Date will be updated.

Privacy Policy

1. We Collect Personal Data When You Complete Online Forms

You can access the vast majority of the information on our Site without having to fill out an online collection form.

There are areas of the Site that require you to register or complete forms so that we can provide you with services or items you request; for instance, online purchasing or online catalog requests. Information that you provide on these online forms may include your name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, and your interests in certain Edvotek products, product lines, or services. If you avail yourself of the benefits of full registration in countries where we offer e-commerce, you will also need to provide payment information. Our collection of Personal Data when you complete any online registration or other Personal Data collection form at this Site is subject to this Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Personal Data You Provide

The Personal Data you provide through online collection forms may be used by Edvotek to provide you with the products, materials, and services you request, as well as:

• To improve, maintain, and protect our Site and to ensure that the content is relevant to your needs and preferences;
• To enable you to view the local list prices (available for selected countries)
• To respond to any other inquiries or requests that you might make;
• To notify you about updates to our Site;
• To conduct market, customer, and general business analysis for Edvotek’s internal use; and
• To improve and/or develop our products, materials, and services

If you do not provide your personal data to Edvotek we will not be able to provide you with the products, materials and services you request or the additional services listed above.

3. Categories of Recipients to Which Your Personal Data May Be Transmitted

Your Personal Data is held in confidence and never provided to any organization outside of the Edvotek group except as noted in this Privacy Policy.

We may provide Personal Data to third parties in connection with fulfilling or processing your specific requests. For example, if you purchase products online using a credit card, we will contact that credit card company or its third-party service provider to process the order and we will use a third-party shipping company to ship your order or other requested items such as our print catalog or literature. To enhance security, your credit card number is encrypted as it is transmitted over the internet.

We do not provide Personal Data that you supply to us to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may provide Personal Data on a reasonable need-to-know basis to third parties bound by nondisclosure obligations. These third parties may be assisting us with the maintenance, protection, or operation of our Site and may work in connection with website, market, or business analysis conducted on our behalf for our use only. We may also provide Personal Data to third parties, who are bound by nondisclosure obligations, assisting us with marketing functions and data management. Any changes in these categories of recipients will be made only after the notification process set forth in the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

We may share Personal Data with law enforcement or other entities as required or permitted by law. Personal Data may also be disclosed to third parties, who are bound by nondisclosure obligations, in connection with an Edvotek merger, acquisition, or sale.

We may monitor internally, or using third-party tools, how a user accesses or navigates the Site by tracking IP addresses or other “click stream data.”

We may also use or provide nonidentifiable data to third parties in order to perform market or business analysis, on our behalf and for our internal use. This ultimately helps us to improve our services to you.

If you choose to register at our Site, you must provide your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy, and therefore, to Edvotek’s disclosure of your Personal Data to the third parties, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Edvotek uses and discloses information only in connection with legitimate business purposes, and therefore, if you do not consent, you will not be able to register at our Site.

4. Transfer to Recipients Outside of Your Home Country

Some of our subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, or recipients outlined above are located or operate outside of your home country, and therefore, we may need to transfer your Personal Data outside of your home country for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. The data protection laws in these countries may not provide an equivalent level of protection to those in your home country, but the recipients will abide by this Privacy Policy, as well as any other applicable laws. In addition, all recipients of your Personal Data will adhere to an adequate level of security as required by the laws of your home country. If you choose to register at our Site, you must provide your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy, including this paragraph. Please note that if you do not consent, you will not be able to register at our Site.

5. Personal Data Storage

The Personal Data you provide to us is retained for the term reasonable necessary to process your requests as described herein; however, we may need to retain archival copies of Personal Data as required by applicable laws. In such cases, your Personal Data will be stored in a readable format only, so that no further processing activities may be conducted.
