The Type of Information That We Collect.

In the course of use of an 80/20 Web page, the type of personally identifiable information that may be collected about you (or others or businesses for whom you submit) may include name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number and information about your interests in and for use of our various products offerings, depending on the product or service for which you are seeking information.

We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit our Web pages, such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer etc.), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows XP or Mac OS X) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., Rogers, Sympatico, America Online etc.).

How We May Use the Information

  1. We may use your information, including any information that is confidential to you, to fulfill your requests for information about our offerings or for use of our offerings, including without limitation the Platform, or to notify you of standard upgrades or additional products, programs and services which you have indicated may be of interest to you. We sometimes use this information to communicate directly with you, such as to fulfill a request by you or to contact you about your account with us.

We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request or demand. In such a case, we will notify you twenty-four (24) hours prior to release of any such information.
  4. Employees, agents and contractors of 80/20 and its related entities who have access to personally identifiable or confidential information have agreed in writing to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the duties which they are performing for 80/20.

Cookies

Our web pages use "cookies" to enhance your online experience. Cookies are text files, which we place in your computer's browser to store your preferences for use at our Web pages. By themselves, cookies do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information, unless you specifically provide this information to us (for example, by registering at one of our Web pages). However, once you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. We use cookies to understand usage of our Web pages and to improve our content and offerings.  For example, we may use cookies to: (i) personalize your experience when you visit our Web pages (e.g., to recognize you by name when you return to our site); (ii) save your password in password-protected areas; and (iii) enable you to use our Platform’s features and functionality more efficiently. We also may use cookies to notify you of upgraded or new products or services.

Our Commitment to Security

We take industry standard physical, electronic, and managerial measures to safeguard, maintain and help prevent unauthorized access to the information that we collect and maintain online. To maximize security for our website visitors, we support browser versions that use 128-bit encryption. We employ a GeoTrust certificate recognized by IE 5.01, Netscape Communicator 4.7 and later browsers. Older browsers can still create a secure SSL connection at 40, 56 or 128 bits depending on the precise browser version.

Encryption is a means of scrambling information for transmissions, in this case, between your PC and our web-site. Information that is encrypted (scrambled) at one end is decrypted (descrambled) upon receipt at the other end. 128-bit encryption is the strongest, most secure form of encryption that is generally available today. 40-bit encryption is the basic minimum standard that is prevalent in most browser products. Most browsers uses 40-bit encryption, unless you have specifically obtained 128-bit encryption.

Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and Sponsors

Our web pages may contain links to other sites whose information and privacy practices may differ from ours. We do NOT have control over information that is submitted to, or collected by sites other than ours. You should consult with the privacy notices on those sites. The 80/20 Web pages covered by this Privacy Notice may from time-to-time offer content that is sponsored by or co-branded with identified third parties. By virtue of these relationships, the third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily submit in order to participate in the site activity. 80/20 has no control over use of this information by such third parties. The 80/20 website will notify you at any time if third parties will obtain such information.
