Section A: Personal Information

Personal information is information about a natural person that is readily identifiable to that individual. Personal information includes such things as an individual’s name, address, email address, and/or phone number, and may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer.

We will actively collect your personal information through contact you make with us. You may always choose not to contact us by email, participate in a survey or to provide any personal information on our website. Your choice to not participate in these activities online will not impair your ability to browse our website, or to read or download information offered on the site.

We will passively collect personal information from you simply from your visit to our website. For more information about the data we will collect, see Sections C and D below.

We also obtain personal information from third parties who have verified their legal right to provide personal information to us.

 

Section B: Children Under the Age of 18

This Site is not directed to children under the age of eighteen (18) and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children.

 

Section C: Passive Information Collected

This is information passively collected during your visit to our website. This information is used to help us understand how our site is being used so that we may continually improve its content, performance, suitability, and usefulness. We collect two types of passive data: navigational data and device information.

Navigational Data:

Navigational data includes log files and clickstream data. Navigational data can identify a user’s Web browser and operating system, when and for how long a user visits a website, what pages a user views on a website, and the address of the website that the user was visiting previously.

We collect this information and use it to administer a website, improve website content, and compile aggregated statistics for marketing and research purposes.

Device information:

Device information is your IP address, hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information, including phone number.

We collect this information to associate your device identifiers or phone number with your Account.

 

Section D: Cookies and Internet Tags

To serve our online users, we use “cookies” and similar files to customize your browsing experience with us. Cookies are small data files transferred to your computer, mobile phone, or other device by your web browser at the request of a website. Cookies fall into two broad categories:

• Session cookies – these cookies allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browsing session. Session cookies are therefore temporary and once you close your browser, all session cookies are deleted. Session cookies are used to aid in website navigation and to collect statistical information. A common example is the shopping cart function, where the website will store details of your shopping cart as you proceed through the checkout process.
• Persistent cookies – these cookies remain on your computer or device for the time period specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created the particular cookie. Persistent cookies also aid in website navigation and collecting statistical information, and are used to customize a website for a user, such as by storing passwords and preferences so that users do not have to re-enter them each time they visit a website. A common example is an auto login or “remember me” function after you first register with a website.

Functional Cookies (Persistent)

These cookies allow our website to remember information you provide to us via our website and choices you make (such as your username, items you have put into your shopping cart and products you have viewed recently). The cookies allow our website to enhance the service we can offer you (as well as providing some degree of personalization to our website).

We require your consent to transfer these cookies to your computer or device and by using our website you agree that we can transfer these cookies to your computer or device.

Performance Cookies (Session)

In accordance with EC Regulations, we require your consent to transfer these cookies to your computer or device and by using our website you agree that we can transfer these cookies to your computer or device.

Other Type of Cookies such as “Retargeting”, “Behavioral” or Banner Advertising

We work with selected third party advertising companies who may set cookies on your computer or device during your visit to our website. These advertising companies use the information collected in these cookies to serve up ads relevant to you and your interests.

Internet Tags:

Internet tags (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are similar to cookies, but they are smaller and are used to collect data such as IP address and browser type related to the user's computer. We use this information to monitor activity for the purpose of future improvement of our website.

 

Section E: Mobile Applications

Precision Dynamics Corporation offers mobile applications to make it easier to do business with us. We obtain information through your use of our applications that you download and run on your mobile device. We may obtain information from, or access data stored on, your mobile device to provide services related to the mobile application. For example, a mobile application may: access a camera on your mobile device allowing you to upload photographs to use in the mobile application; access the camera on your device to enable you to scan a barcode for use in the mobile application; access the geographic location of your device to enable you to find assets or equipment located nearby; or access contact information on your device to enable you to synchronize contact information between information stored on the device and the mobile application.

Our mobile applications may collect information related to your use of the mobile application and information regarding your mobile device to support and improve the mobile application and associated services. For example, all actions taken in a mobile application or errors generated may be logged, along with associated device information. We may also share anonymous data about these actions with third party providers of analytics services.

Please note that you can configure our mobile applications, and limit the information accessed or obtained by the mobile application on your device, but doing so may cause your mobile application to not work as intended.

Our mobile applications may be designed to exchange information with other of our mobile applications. The information exchanged includes only the information necessary to provide services of the mobile application. For example, a mobile workflow application may transfer label printing information to a mobile printing application.

Information accessed or obtained by the mobile application on your device may be accessible to you and your organization, depending on the intended functionality of the mobile application. For example, an inspection record may include information stating you used the mobile device to scan a barcode.

We regularly update our mobile applications. If your mobile device’s settings permit and you choose to install updates, those updates will be downloaded and installed automatically on your mobile device.

 

Section F: Purchased Desktop Applications

Precision Dynamics Corporation offers various software solutions for purchase that are run from your desktop. Desktop applications may be available as on-premise applications or via the “cloud”. We obtain information through your use of our desktop applications that you download and run on your computer. Desktop applications collect contact and license key information during the product activation step to validate purchase and provide technical support.

Desktop applications may provide us with information related to your use of the desktop application in order to improve the desktop application and associated products and services. For example, actions taken in a desktop application, such as which applications or options are selected, which printers and supplies were used, the number of labels sent to a printer, and errors generated within the application may all be logged in the application. We may also share anonymous data about these actions with third party providers of analytics services.

Please note that you can configure our desktop applications to restrict collection of usage data by selecting the opt-out option presented during installation or within the settings of the desktop application. Opting-out of data collection does not affect the functionality of the desktop application.

We regularly update our desktop applications. If your computer’s settings permit and you choose to install updates, those updates will be downloaded and automatically installed on your computer.

 

Section G: Active Information Volunteered

In addition to the passive information collected as described above, this website actively collects information as you volunteer it when making certain requests on the website. Some of the information collected is personal or unique to you (see Section A: Personal Information). We collect personal information from site registrants and visitors to the website on a voluntary basis. Visitors are not required to provide this information.

If during your visit to one of our websites you complete a form, send an email, or perform some other transaction, this website may collect your name, company name, business address, business email address, business phone number, business fax number, job title, industry sector, and/or credit card information.

To protect credit card numbers, we outsource this information to a certified payment processor via a hosted payment page on our website in accordance with PCI DSS regulations. The provider returns the credit card number to us as a token. We do not see, process or store customers’ raw credit card information in any of our systems or databases. We are PCI compliant and attest to such via an annual SAQ-D and quarterly vulnerability scans performed by and attested to by an outside agency.

Precision Dynamics Corporation is a Business to Business (B2B) Service provider of people identification and security solutions. All processing of personal information is based on a commercial, contractual basis to supply goods and services to the business community. However, any data we collect that can identify an individual will be protected and treated as local laws dictate.

Personal information is actively collected when volunteered on this website through the following activities:

• Send us an email or complete and submit a "contact us" reply form. In this case, we may use the information you provide for many reasons, including to reply to your email and to learn more about our users.
• Subscribe to one of our newsletters. We may use the information you provide to verify your identity, for sending the requested information, as well as to send you information about our products and services.
• Register a product or demo online. We use the information you provide to notify you if your item has been recalled or requires an update, or when new versions of the product or demo are released.
• Submit a literature request, demo request, catalog request, or mailing list form. In this case, we use the information you provide to send to you, online or offline, materials you request, and to contact you regarding product demonstrations.
• Complete a price list application form. We use the information you provide to send you the requested price lists.
• Register as a user on the website. We use this information to verify your identity.
• Submit a product suggestion form. We use the information you submit on a product suggestion form to consider, develop, and evaluate new products and services.

We may use the information you provide to send to you, online or offline, materials you request, and to contact you regarding product demonstrations or sales.
• Complete survey, feedback, and question forms. We use the information provided in these forms to respond to your questions, evaluate products and services, and better understand our shareholders, distributors, and customers.

On orders we will request purchase order or other payment information such as a credit card number and expiration date. We will use this information to complete the transaction and to deliver the information, products or services you ordered and to collect payment.
• Submit a "Request a Return Material Authorization (RMA) Number" form. We use the information contained in this form to help you return products that you have purchased.

Other Internal Use of Personal Information

Using the legal basis of Legitimate Interest, we will also use your personal information to provide you with information on our products and services that we think might be of interest to you unless you have indicated a preference not to receive such information. If you choose not to receive this type of information, please contact us in one of the many ways outlined in Section I - Your Rights.

We use the information we collect from all of our services to improve our product and service offering. We also use this information to offer you tailored content – like giving you more relevant search results and ads.

When you contact us through our website or Customer Service, we might keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements.

The processing of your personal information does not include profiling, nor shall you be subjected to automated decisions.

We will ask for your consent before using your personal information for a purpose other than those set out in this Privacy Policy.

The disclosure or processing of personal information as contemplated in this Policy may be to a party outside your jurisdiction. To meet our contractual agreements to deliver tailored products to you we may transfer personal information you have submitted through this Site to us, to our affiliated companies, and to any other third parties described in this Policy, all or some of which may be located in foreign jurisdictions that may not provide "adequate protection" for personal information, but for which we have entered into Binding Corporate Rules or Standard Contractual Agreements.

We reserve the right to disclose or transfer any personal information collected at this Site:

• To protect the security of the Site
• To protect ourselves and our affiliated companies against liability
• To respond to subpoenas or other judicial processes
• If we believe in good faith that the law requires it
• In connection with any sale, assignment, or other transfer of all or a part of our business or company or any business or our affiliated companies.

External Use of Volunteered Information

Please note that there are instances where we share your volunteered information with third parties in order to fulfill your request.
We, like many companies that provide products and services to customers, may employ other companies and individuals to perform specific functions on our behalf. Examples include, but are not limited to: manufacturing and/or fulfilling orders; delivery of packages, mail, and email; address hygiene; credit card processing services; research that improves the quality of services or offers provided to you, including customer satisfaction surveys; performing a credit check as part of your order, or with a debt collection service in the event you fail to meet the terms of payment which might apply to your order. These providers have access to the information that they require to perform their functions but are strictly forbidden from using it for any other purposes. You may, however, “opt-out” of this use of your volunteered information at any time, but doing so may impair our ability to provide you with proper service and to process your orders (See Section I - Your Rights).

Using the legal basis of Legitimate Interest, we may use your personal information to market the products and services of other third parties that we think might be of interest to you or provide your personal information to carefully screened and selected third parties for marketing purposes. If you wish to no longer receive such marketing materials, please refer to Section I - Your Rights for ways to contact us with your request.

Public forums, refer a contact, and customer testimonials

We may provide bulletin boards, blogs, or chat rooms on our websites. Any personal information you choose to submit in such a forum may be read, collected, or used by others who visit these forums, and may be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these forums.

You may elect to use our referral program to inform contacts about our websites and services. When using the referral program, we request the contact’s name and email address. We will automatically send the contact a one–time email inviting him or her to visit one of our websites. We do not store this information.

When you enable our website or services to link content and data between Third-Party Services, the Third-Party Services may provide us with access to certain information that you have provided to the Third-Party Services, and we will use, store, and disclose that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, please remember that the manner in which Third-Party Services use, store, and disclose your information is governed by the policies of those third parties, and we shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any Third-Party Services that may be enabled within our website or services.
