Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to WINSYSTEMS, Inc., and its related companies (collectively, “WINSYSTEMS”).
This Privacy Policy provides important details regarding the various types of information about you that might be collected when you use any of our websites, how that information might be used, with whom it might be shared, and how it will be protected. By accessing or using WINSYSTEMS websites, you consent to our use of your information as described below, and you agree to this Privacy Policy and to WINSYSTEMS’ Terms of Use, as well as any subsequent updates of those documents. You should read both documents carefully.
INFORMATION ABOUT YOU THAT WE COLLECT OR OBTAIN ONLINE
Forms. Our web pages contain various online forms you can use to request further information about our products and services and to request support. When you submit information through these forms, you provide us with personally identifiable information (PII) about yourself: your name, email address, phone number, company name, and more. By submitting these forms, you will receive an acknowledgement email and may be added to our newsletter mailing list and receive information from us from time to time. You may unsubscribe at any time. Submission of your PII and any other information is purely voluntary and by your action and consent—you are not required to submit such information to visit and use our websites, nor will you be subscribed to our mailing list simply by visiting and using our website. To submit your information, you are required to check a box on the form agreeing with the storage and handling of your data by our website and permitting us to contact you using the information you provide.
Cookies. Cookies are small text files that a website transfers to the visitor’s hard drive or web browser to track website usage and to improve the visitor’s experience when using our websites. Cookies cannot be used to deliver viruses to your computer, and they can only be read by our web servers. Most web browsers give you the option to decline cookies selectively or completely.
Web Beacons. A web beacon is an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger than one pixel, that is placed on a website to monitor the activity of a visitor while using the website, often used in combination with cookies. Like cookies, web beacons cannot be used to deliver viruses to your computer. Web beacons help us learn which pages of our websites are visited, how often, and for how long.
Technical Information. When you visit any website, including any of our websites, certain information is collected automatically, including your internet protocol or IP addresses, unique device identifiers, the type of browser you are using, and other technical data about your computing environment (collectively, “Technical Information”). You should understand that it is possible for website publishers to combine such Technical Information with information provided by third parties to identify you specifically and learn more about you. WINSYSTEMS does not do that. As discussed further below, WINSYSTEMS only uses Technical Information for anonymous metrics.
Links. Our websites might contain links to other websites not under our control. You should carefully review the privacy policies and terms of use of any linked websites before using them. We can’t control those third-party websites, and we are not responsible for how they use your information when you visit them.
There may be other locations on our website where we provide you with email links or other opportunities to communicate with us, and of course your use of those methods is purely voluntary and by your action and consent. When you send us an email or contact us by phone and provide your contact information, we may use your email address to send you newsletters or other emails. You may unsubscribe at any time.
INFORMATION ABOUT CHILDREN
Our websites are not designed or intended to collect information from or about children under the age of 13. Children under 13 should not use our websites or provide any information to us through any of our online forms. If you believe information about a child under 13 has been collected or provided through our websites, please use the Privacy Contact Information below to inform us and we will delete that information.
HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
WINSYSTEMS does not sell your PII to third parties. Your information will not be sold to, or used by, any third parties to market their products or services to you. Except as disclosed herein, your PII will not be shared with third parties. We use a third-party technology vendor to maintain our website, and we do not permit this vendor to use your information for any purpose other than maintaining and reporting on our website. We use third-party advertising vendors who collect information about those who click on our banner ads or otherwise interact with our advertising and provide that information to WINSYSTEMS. We use third-party vendors to host our customer relationship management service, phone service, and email campaigns, and we do not permit these vendors to use your information other than in support of our service to you.
We use cookies, web beacons, and the Technical Information described above as part of developing anonymous statistical reporting on aggregate website-usage data, which might be shared with third parties (such as providers of web analytics services), but we do not use that information to discover additional PII about you. We use the aggregate statistics to understand what visitors find useful on our site and to make related improvements.
WINSYSTEMS shares your PII internally for a variety of purposes, including sales fulfillment, customer support, marketing and promotion of our products and services, and evaluation of potential job candidates. Company information may be provided to existing or potential investors, although investment decisions should be made solely based on formal disclosures such as our prospectuses and public filings, not on information provided on or through our website.
Although WINSYSTEMS has operations in many countries, it is based in the United States. No matter where you are, you should expect that your information will be processed and viewed in the United States. Your use of our websites constitutes your consent for any cross-border data transfer resulting from such use.
Where permitted or required by applicable law, WINSYSTEMS will provide your PII in its possession, custody, or control, to third parties without your consent to comply with court orders, subpoenas, or other legal or regulatory requirements.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
WINSYSTEMS and its Web Vendor and advertising partners use industry standard computer security measures and industrial security practices as part of our commitment to protect the information on our networks and servers, including your information. We also use reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or improper destruction, regardless of the form in which that information is stored.
CORRECTING OR DELETING YOUR INFORMATION
If you wish to correct or delete any of your PII in our possession or have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us. Information you provide to WINSYSTEMS for this purpose will be used solely to correct or delete your information or respond to your questions.
