Signatec Privacy Policy

The following statement discloses Signatec's privacy practices for the Signatec Web Site. We do update our policy from time to time without notice so please check back periodically. All updates will be published at this site.

Personal Information

We request personal information when you register with us to request additional information regarding Signatec products or to obtain download access to Signatec product materials such as data sheets, manuals, firmware logic updates, and software updates. We also request personal information when requesting technical support. We will ask you for information necessary to support these online processes.

You make the decision whether to proceed with any activity that requests personal information. If you do not wish to provide the requested information, however, you will not be able to utilize our online support services.

How We Use the Information We Gather

We use personally identifiable information in the following ways:

    ● To provide you with information about product updates, new products, services,
       newsletters, informative emails, and research on future product ideas or improvements.

    ● To assist us in creating content that is relevant to you.

    ● To provide you with special offers that may be of interest to you.

    ● To assist us in creating better products and services to meet your needs.

    ● To allow you to download product materials.

With Whom We May Share your Information

We may provide your information to one of our authorized Signatec International Sales Representatives if you are geographically located within their sales region. Authorized Signatec International Sales Representatives can often provide quality service that is prompt and better suited to meet native languages and customs for your local region.

We require that these authorized Signatec International Sales Representatives keep the personal information of customers secure and confidential; and that they use personal information only on behalf of Signatec. If you prefer that we do not provide your information to our international sales representative partners, you may let us know using one of the methods described in this policy. Please visit our International Sales Representatives page for a complete listing of our authorized representatives.

Signatec handles all customer relationships directly from our USA headquarters for all other international regions that do not currently have a local authorized Signatec International Sales Representative and for all domestic USA customers.

Please be advised that in certain instances, it may be necessary for Signatec to disclose your personal information to government officials or otherwise as required by our legal obligations.

Choice/Opt-Out

Signatec provides a number of ways for you to 'opt-out' of receiving additional information from us or having us provide your personal information to our partners. We may offer you these choices at the time you give us your information or at a future time through additional follow-up communications.

If you are on a Signatec web page that requires personal information but does not offer opt-out communication choices, or would like to change your preferences for information that you have previously provided, please e-mail the Signatec Sales team directly at sales@signatec.com to notify us of your desired preferences.

If you do not wish to continue receiving our e-mail newsletters or bulletins, you can opt-out of receiving these communications by sending a reply message with the word "Unsubscribe" followed by the exact e-mail address the message was originally addressed to in the subject line of your reply message. You will then receive one additional confirmation e-mail message to notify you that you have been successfully unsubscribed from future related communications.

Security and Quality of Personal Information

We take security measures to protect your personal information that includes technical and procedural steps to protect your data from misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, loss, alteration, or destruction. These technical and procedural steps are continually updated to help protect your data to the maximum extent possible.

We also make a sincere effort to respond to your requests to update or correct your personal information. If you believe that Signatec does not have your current personal information or that your personal information we have on file is in error, please e-mail the Signatec Sales team directly at sales@signatec.com to notify us of any discrepancies so that we may correct it promptly.
