This document
sets forth the ZETES Online Privacy Policy (the "Privacy
Policy") for this website, (the "Site").
This Privacy Policy covers ZETES treatment of personally identifiable
information (the “Registration Data” or the “Personal
Information”) that ZETES collects when the visitors (the
“User(s)”) of this web site (the “Site”)
are linked to this Site and/or use ZETES’ services through
this Site.
The Registration Data and Personal Information are defined as
any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact,
or locate the person to whom such information pertains.
All Registration Data and personal Information that ZETES collects
and maintains will be subject to the version of the Privacy Policy
in effect at the time of such collection.
This Privacy Policy also covers ZETES’ treatment of any
Registration Data or Personal Information that ZETES’ business
partners share with ZETES or that ZETES may collect on a partner’s
site.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies
that ZETES does not own or control, or to people that ZETES does
not employ or manage.
If the Users have objections to this Privacy Policy, they should
not access or use this Site. |
| Changes in Privacy Policy |
|
ZETES reserves
the right to change the Privacy Policy from time to time at its
sole discretion, without notice. If as the result of such changes,
any User of the Site wants to alter the ways in which ZETES is
allowed to use his Registration Data and/or Personal Information,
he can do so by following the procedure described below in the
section titled "Access and change to Registration Data and
Personal Information."
The User will be deemed to have been made aware of, and will
be subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy by his continued
use of the Site after such changes.
If at the time the User provides Registration Data or Personal
Information to ZETES, the aforesaid User is given the opportunity
to limit how such information will be used to communicate with
him, either by ZETES or by third parties. ZETES will not change
their preference in this regard without their express consent.
However, if ZETES sells assets (or the assets of a division or
subsidiary) to another entity, or ZETES (or a division or subsidiary)
is acquired by, or merged with, another entity, ZETES may provide
to such entity customer information that is related to that part
of the Users’ business that was sold to or merged with the
other entity without their consent. |
| Entities collecting Registration
Data or Personal Information |
|
Registration Data
and Personal information on this Site are collected by ZETES Industries
SA (“ZETES”), a company incorporated under the laws
of the Kingdom of Belgium (Europe ), with registered offices at
Da Vinci Science Park, Rue de Strasbourg 3, 1130 Brussels (Belgium,
Europe).
The Site may contain links to other sites at which Registration
Data or Personal Information are collected. In such instances, unless
expressly stated to the contrary, the collection and use of Registration
Data or Personal Information will be governed by the privacy policy
applicable to that site. That privacy policy should identify the
entity that is collecting such personal information. |
| Collection of Registration Data
and Personal Information |
|
| The Users of
this Site can engage in several activities without providing any
Registration Data or Personal Information.
In connection with other activities, such as subscribing to the
services offered on the Site or utilizing online software applications,
ZETES may ask the Users to provide certain information about themselves
by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely
optional for them to engage in these activities. If the User elects
to engage in these activities, however, ZETES may ask that the
User provide Registration Data or Personal Information, such as
the first and last name or the company name, mailing address (including
ZIP code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department,
telephone and facsimile numbers, and so on. When ordering products
or services on the Site, the User may be asked to provide a credit
card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information
that ZETES asks the User to provide is identified as mandatory
and some as voluntary. If the User does not provide the mandatory
data with respect to a particular activity, he will not be able
to engage in that activity.
When using the Site, ZETES or third parties authorized by ZETES
may also collect certain technical and routing information about
the User’s computer to facilitate their use of the Site
and its services. For example, ZETES may log environmental variables,
such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet
Protocol ("IP") address of the computer.
ZETES uses these environmental variables to facilitate and track
the use of the Site and its services. ZETES also uses such environmental
variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site.
When the User submits Registration Data or Personal Information
to ZETES through this Site, they understand and agree that the
data and information may be transferred across national boundaries
and may be stored and processed in any of the countries in which
ZETES and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain offices.
The User also acknowledges that in certain countries or with
respect to certain activities, the collection, transferring, storage,
and processing of information may be undertaken by trusted vendors,
services or products providers and business partners of ZETES.
ZETES may, at its sole discretion, establish relationships with
various service or product providers whose services may be available
to the Users of this Site or from Web sites that are linked to
this Site. Typically, these providers may offer services or products
that ZETES’ customers might find useful, such as those that
can be used in conjunction with ZETES services and products. In
order to use those services or order such products, the Users
may be required to provide Registration Data or Personal Information
to the providers.
Unless expressly provided to the contrary, Registration Data
and Personal Information that the Users provide while they are
visiting a provider's Web site will be subject to the privacy
policy posted on such site, and Registration Data or Personal
Information that they provide while on this Site in conjunction
with a provider's service will be subject to the Privacy Policy
of such provider.
The agreements between ZETES and these service or product providers
may foresee that such providers will share with ZETES Registration
Data and Personal Information collected from the Users of this
Site. In such instances, ZETES may use the data and information
in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. |
| Use of the Registration Data and
Personal information |
|
ZETES collects
data and information about the Users for three main purposes:
to customize the content of the Site, to fulfill the Users’
requests for certain products and services, and to contact the
Users about specials and new services or products.
If the User subscribes to a service or registers a product, for
example, the information is used to register their rights, if
any, to technical support or other benefits that may be made available
to registered Users. As another example, if the User enters a
contest, information is collected to qualify the entry and contact
them regarding the contest or prize awards. The Registration Data
and Personal Information are also used to keep the Users informed
about product upgrades, special offers, and other products and
services of ZETES and selected third parties.
ZETES may collect information about the use of the Site, such
as the types of services used and how many Users the Site receives
daily.
This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying
any user individually. ZETES may use this aggregate, non-identifying
statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing, or similar
promotional purposes |
| Protection of Registration Data
and Personal Information |
|
ZETES recognizes
and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information
collected on this Site.
Without consent, which may be implicit, ZETES will not communicate
any information to anyone regarding products, services, and special
offers available from ZETES, although ZETES may find it necessary
to communicate with the User regarding their use of the services
on this Site.
Except in the particular circumstances described in this Privacy
Policy, ZETES will also not provide the name of the Users to other
companies or organizations without their consent.
There are other instances in which ZETES may divulge personal
information about the Users of the Site. ZETES may provide personal
information if necessary, in ZETES' good faith judgment, to comply
with laws or regulations of a governmental or regulatory body
or in response to a valid subpoena, warrant, or order, or to protect
the rights of ZETES or others.
The Registration Data that the Users provide in connection with
registering themselves as Users of ZETES products or services
or registering a ZETES product is classified as “Registration
Data”.
Registration Data is protected in several ways.
Individual Users may access their own User Registration Data through
a password, account number or personal code, or a unique customer
ID selected by the aforesaid User.
ZETES recommends that the Users do not divulge their passwords,
account numbers or personal codes to anyone. In addition, the
Registration Data resides on a secure server that only selected
ZETES personnel and contractors have access to via passwords,
to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information
when it is transmitted to ZETES.
Personal Information provided to ZETES that does not constitute
Registration Data also resides on a secure server and is only
accessible to selected ZETES personnel and contractors via passwords.
Since this information is not accessible by Users, they will not
be asked to select a password, an account number or a personal
code to view or modify such information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any information an User posts
to a public bulletin board or chat room, such as the ZETES Forums
(the "Forums"), is available to all persons accessing
that location.
The e-mail address of each User may be automatically posted on
the Forums, and will be available to all persons accessing the
Forums. In addition, the Forums may offer a service in which subscribers
are e-mailed a copy of all messages posted to the Forums on a
particular topic. Consequently, if the Users post messages to
the Forums, their e-mail address will be sent to those subscribers
that have indicated an interest in the message topic. |
| Use of cookies and other tracking
technologies |
|
When the User
visits this Site, they can browse the Site and access certain
areas of the Site without revealing their identity.
To improve the Site, ZETES may, at its sole discretion, use "cookies"
or other tracking technologies to track the visits.
A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to the
User’s browser by a Web server and can only be read by the
server that gave it to the aforesaid User.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. The User can
set his browser to notify him when he receives a cookie, giving
him the chance to decide whether to accept it.
For some Web pages that require an authorization, cookies are
not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies will probably
not be able to access those pages.
While ZETES may use cookies to track the visits to the Site,
and our Web servers may automatically log the IP/Internet address
of the User’s computer, ZETES does not use this information
to identify each User personally.
Once the User closes his browser, the cookie simply terminates.
Other tracking technologies used by ZETES may record information
such as Internet domain and host names, Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses, browser software and operating system types, clickstream
patterns, and dates and times that the Site is accessed.
The use of cookies and other tracking technologies by ZETES allows
ZETES to improve the Site and the web experience of the Users,
subject to the principles and provisions set forth in this Privacy
Policy. |
| Access and change to Registration
Data and Personal Information |
|
The users have
the right to access and correct their Registration Data and Personal
Information.
Registration Data and Personal Information submitted through
this Site are not accessible online. To access and/or correct
such information, the Users may write ZETES at:

Da Vinci Science Park

In the correspondence, the Users are asked to indicate with as
much detail as possible the location on this Site where they provided
the personal information. |
Privacy-related inquiries and complaints |
|
If the User believes
that ZETES has not complied with this Online Privacy Policy with
respect to his personal information or he has other related inquiries
or concerns, he may write to ZETES at the address indicated above.
The User is requested to describe in as much detail as possible
the nature of his inquiry or the ways in which he believes that
the ZETES Online Privacy Policy has not been complied with. ZETES
will promptly investigate such inquiry or complaint.
If the User provides ZETES with inconsistent privacy preferences
( for example, by indicating on one occasion that third parties
may contact him with marketing offers and indicating on another
occasion that they may not),
ZETES cannot guarantee that his most recent privacy preference
will be honored.
ZETES is not responsible for the content or privacy practices
of non-ZETES Web sites to which this Site or any other ZETES Web
site may link. The User should review the privacy policy of such
sites before using the sites. |
