At Trade Electronics we believe that, as our online visitor,

information we collect when you visit our websites,
and what type of information is collected. The guidelines
contained herein only apply to your visits to www.Trade
Electronics.com, which is operated by Trade Electronics
Corporation of America ("Trade Electronics").
This includes web pages on www.tradeelectronics.com
that contain "tradeelectronics.com" in
their URLs, but does not include any redirect URLs
that link the user to another internet domain. Other
websites which are linked to/from www.tradeelectronics.com
(including other Trade Electronics affiliates, other
Trade Electronics websites, and via banner ads) may
have different policies; therefore, please review the
privacy policy notices on those websites for details.
While Trade Electronics does not generally require that you provide
us with personally identifiable information in order
to visit and use the Trade Electronics websites, please note that in
order to participate in some activities, it will be necessary
for you to provide this information. If you choose not
to provide it for those activities, you may not be able
to participate in them.
Collection of Information: Cookies; Personal
For each visitor to an Trade Electronics website, Trade Electronics's web server
automatically recognizes and stores information, such
as the visitor's IP address/domain name combination and
any referring websites. We use this information to understand
visitor traffic patterns through our websites for purposes
such as enhancing their usability. Your computer provides
this information automatically each time you log on,
unless you've activated blocking technology available
in some browsers.
When you visit Trade Electronics's websites or advertisements appearing
thereon, or use one or more of the Trade Electronics website services,
we may use an industry-wide technology called "cookies" which
stores certain information on your computer and which
will allow us to customize your experience to better
match your interests and preferences, or to simply facilitate
your signing in to use the services. Most browsers will
allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive,
block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before
a cookie is stored. However, if you block or erase cookies,
we may not be able to restore any preferences or customization
settings you previously specified, and our ability to
personalize your online experience would be limited.
Please refer to your browser instructions or "help" screen
to learn more about these functions.
Also, Trade Electronics, or third parties on its behalf, may collect
anonymous information from visits to our sites through
the use of "Web Beacons." Web Beacons are electronic
Web Page images that enable us to record anonymous data
about visits to our web site. This anonymous information
is sometimes known as "clickstream data." We
may use this data to analyze trends and statistics to
improve your online experience, or customer service.
No personal data is collected through the use of Web
Beacons on our sites.
Additionally, Trade Electronics may ask you to provide "personal
information," meaning individually identifiable
information such as your e-mail address, name, mailing
address, telephone number, social security number, credit
card number, or persistent identifier (such as a customer
number held in a cookie) which is associated with individually
identifiable information, to enable you to participate
in contests, chatrooms, on bulletin boards, to fill out
a registration, or to order products and services using
these websites. Trade Electronics may combine the information you provide
on our websites with other information we may collect
from you offline or from third parties so that we can
more effectively tailor our website, services, and offerings
to you. If you provide Trade Electronics with personal information,
you shall have the right, on reasonable prior notice,
to inspect, change, amend, or delete such information.
Instructions on how to update personal information will
be given at the point of data collection.
Unless you instruct us otherwise,
Trade Electronics may contact you to provide information about products,
services, promotions, contests, or other activities or
offerings that may be of interest to you. You can instruct
us whether or not you wish to be contacted by checking
or removing the check from the box indicating your preference
as applicable at the place where your information is
collected, or by other means (such as an e-mail request).
In addition, with each communication you receive from
Trade Electronics, you will be given the opportunity to indicate if
you do not wish to receive future communications.
Unless it is for the purposes you have requested or originally
agreed, Trade Electronics will not share the personal information you
provide on the Trade Electronics websites with any other parties, except
(a) with your consent; (b) as may be required by law
or court order; (c) to persons or companies with whom
Trade Electronics contracts to carry out the internal operations of
the website or our business; or (d) under exigent circumstances
to protect the personal safety or property of our users,
the public, or ourselves.
Additionally and with your consent,
Trade Electronics may share your personal information with other affiliated
Trade Electronics companies -- i.e., (i) Trade Electronics Corporation, (ii) any
company of which more than 50% of its outstanding shares
are owned by Trade Electronics Corporation, directly or indirectly,
or (iii) any company with the name "Trade Electronics" as
a part of its trade name -- who may want to contact you
about products, services, or other offerings that may
be of interest to you. Further, only with
your consent, Trade Electronics may share your personal
information with specific third parties outside of the
Trade Electronics group of companies who may want to contact you about
products, services, or other offerings that may be of
interest to you. Please consult the respective privacy
policies of each of these companies for further clarification
as to their own privacy policy. Trade Electronics will seek to obtain
your consent at the place where the information is collected
either by an "opt-out" or "opt-in" method,
or by other means (such as an e-mail request). If you
consent to receiving communications from any of these
affiliated Trade Electronics companies, or third parties, you will
need to communicate with them directly if you later decide
that you no longer wish to receive their communications.
Until we advise you, except as indicated above for the
initial decision made with your consent to share your
personal information with Trade Electronics affiliates and/or specific
third parties outside of the Trade Electronics group of companies,
changes or amendments to your personal information must
be given both to Trade Electronics and to each such Trade Electronics affiliate
or other company directly, as these changes, amendments,
and/or deletions will not be exchanged among Trade Electronics and
other Trade Electronics affiliates or third parties.
Use and Disclosure of Anonymous Aggregated Information
Trade Electronics may also collect, aggregate, and maintain anonymous
information about the visitors to our websites, such
as visitors' hobbies, interests, purchasing habits, music
preferences, and the like. This data can then be used
to tailor Trade Electronics's website content and advertising to deliver
a better experience for our visitors. In addition, Trade Electronics
may also share such aggregate information about our visitors
with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other
third parties; for example, to inform them about the
percentage of male/female visitors or percentage of visitors
within a particular age range.
Security
While Trade Electronics cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will
never occur, rest assured that Trade Electronics takes great care in
maintaining the security of your personal information
and in preventing unauthorized access to it through the
use of appropriate technology and internal procedures.
Notice To/Regarding Children Under the Age of
13
If you are under 13 years of age, you should not provide
any personally identifiable information (for example,
your last name, home address or e-mail address) on these
sites without the knowledge and permission of your parent
or guardian. If Trade Electronics learns that you are under 13 years
of age, Trade Electronics will not maintain or use any personally identifiable
information about you without the verifiable consent
of your parent or guardian, except as allowed by law.
This may mean that you will be unable to participate
in some activities on the sites without that verifiable
consent.
Trade Electronics believes that children using the Internet require
special protection, and we urge parents or guardians
to explain Internet safety to their children. Parents
are urged to spend time online with their children to
become familiar with the types of content available on
the Trade Electronics websites and the Internet in general. Control
tools are available from online services and software
manufacturers to help create a safer environment for
children.
If a child under 13 years of age wishes to participate
in any Trade Electronics website activity, or wishes to take advantage
of a product or service offering, available to children,
and to do so necessitates the furnishing of any of the
child's personal information, please note the following:
(i) Before any collection of a child's personal information
takes place at a website directed to children or where
Trade Electronics is knowingly collecting children's personal information,
the child will be asked to provide his/her parent's or
guardian's e-mail address. Trade Electronics will then send an e-mail
(the "Initial Notification") to the parent/guardian
indicating, among other things, the information that
the child is requested to provide; the intended use(s)
of the information; and information on how the parent/guardian
can, at their election, delete the child's information
from Trade Electronics's database or records. Upon receipt of the Initial
Notification, a parent or guardian may respond back to
Trade Electronics to grant his/her consent or to deny consent, in which
case Trade Electronics will delete the parent or guardian's e-mail
address. Upon Trade Electronics's receipt of the parent/guardian consent,
Trade Electronics will send a confirming e-mail to the parent/guardian's
e-mail address
(ii) The e-mail address of the operator collecting or
maintaining personal information from children through
this website is: contact@tradeelectronics.com
(iii) The types of personal information collected from
children may include the name, e-mail address, home address,
telephone number, and/or any other information reasonably
necessary for the child to participate in a particular
activity. This information may be collected directly
and/or passively (e.g., through a web server that automatically
recognizes and stores information, such as a visitor's
IP address/domain name combination)
(iv) The information collected may be used for purposes
such as fulfillment of a requested transaction, record
keeping, marketing back to the child, or making it publicly
available through a chatroom or by other means
(v) Unless specific consent is obtained from the child's
parent or guardian, the child's personal information
will not be disclosed to third parties who are not contractors
hired to carry out the internal operations of the websites,
other than as may be required by law. We have required,
or will require, such contractors to agree to use personal
information of website visitors only for the purposes
of carrying out these operations and to keep such information
confidential. A parent or guardian has the option of
consenting to the collection and use of the child's personal
information without consenting to the disclosure of that
information to third parties
(vi) Trade Electronics is prohibited from conditioning a child's participation
in an activity on the child's disclosing more personal
information than is reasonably necessary to participate
in such activity
(vii) A parent can review and have deleted the child's
personal information, can refuse to permit further collection
or use of the child's information, and can revoke or
limit consents previously given. For instructions on
how to do so, please send an e-mail to: contact@tradeelectronics.com.
(viii) If Trade Electronics desires to use a child's information for
purposes other than that for which the parent/guardian
consent was previously given, Trade Electronics will not do so without
first getting the parent/guardian consent
Consent to Processing
By providing any personal information to the Trade Electronics websites,
all users, including without limitation users in the
member states of the European Union, fully understand
and unambiguously consent to the collection and processing
of such information in the United States of America.
Policy Governs Use; Changes to Privacy Policy
The terms of this policy will govern the use and any
information collected while it is in place. Trade Electronics reserves
the right to change this policy at any time, so please
re-visit this page as often as you wish. In case of any
material change, we will make a notation near the "Privacy
Policy" link on the home page of our Site. Changes
to this privacy policy are effective at the time they
are posted to this Site, and your continued use of this
Site after posting will constitute acceptance of, and
agreement to be bound by, those changes.
