PRIVACY AND POLICY
February 10, 2010
This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") is an extension of Newland’s ("our" or "we") commitment to combine quality products and services with integrity, when you provide Personal Information to us.
What Personal Information We Collect
Some information that identifies you as an individual ("Personal Information") is gathered when you register with our Web Site (”Site”). We also collect Personal Information about you to the extent that you provide it to us online (e.g., by filling out forms on the Site or by submitting such information in an e-mail message) and offline (e.g., by filling out a comment card at one of our locations). You provide your Personal Information voluntarily.
Personal Information requested may include your name, your street mailing address, your e-mail address, your telephone number and other information, including information about your personal or business demographics. In addition, we may ask you to enter an ID, password or similar data when you access this Site, so we can verify your right to access certain portions of the Site.
How do we use the Personal Information we collect
Our goals in collecting Personal Information from you include: (i) providing you with information about Newland, and (ii) supporting business purposes and endeavors that we believe are reasonable and consistent with fair business practices. We also use your Personal Information to determine other information that will be delivered to you that may be targeted to your interests, as well as determining what periodic marketing, promotional and other notices to provide to you. You may, at any time, choose to not receive communications from us by "opting out" of specific mailing lists and services by sending an e-mail requesting removal to our Customer Service Department at: (insert URL) , or by writing us at the mailing address listed below.
How We Share Personal Information
We may disclose your Personal Information to our affiliates (i.e., companies that we own, we are owned by, or we are under common ownership with), to consultants and to other third parties with whom we have a business relationship. We may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties as we deem necessary or desirable to provide products and services that you have requested. Your Personal Information may also be disclosed to third parties on an aggregate basis and in a manner that does not reveal the personal identity of you or your business. We may also disclose your Personal Information as we believe is reasonably necessary to comply with law, regulation or other governmental authority. Finally, we may disclose your Personal Information upon a transfer or sale to another entity of all or a portion of our stock or assets to which this Policy relates, or upon any other corporate reorganization.
Retention and Protection of Personal Information
Generally, we retain your Personal Information that we collect electronically on our server(s) or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We may alter this practice according to legal and business requirements. For example, we may shorten the retention period for certain Personal Information if needed to free up storage space, and we may lengthen the retention period for other Personal Information if needed to comply with privacy standards or applicable law.
We establish and maintain certain practices to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of electronic Personal Information stored on our systems. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no computer system is completely secure, and while the measures we implement are intended to reduce the likelihood of security problems, there is no warranty or guarantee that our standard security measures will prevent access to your Personal Information.
How to modify your Personal Information
You may modify or update your Personal Information by sending an e-mail to our Customer Service Department at: (insert URL). Data management requests are administered in an orderly manner to the extent feasible and within our direct control.
Other Limits to Your Privacy and Confidentiality
We may disclose Personal Information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing the Personal Information is necessary for us to protect or enforce our legal rights, or when we believe that the law requires it, and for administrative and other purposes we deem necessary to maintain, service and improve our products and services.
We operate this Site (including, without limitation, its registration system) and provide our services in good faith, but on an AS-IS, AS-AVAILABLE basis. ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, QUALITY, TITLE, FITNESS, MERCHANTABILITY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR EVENTS BEYOND OUR DIRECT CONTROL. This Policy is governed by California law, excluding conflicts of law principles. Any provision of this Policy that is illegal or unenforceable shall be deemed automatically conformed to the minimum requirements of law. Any legal actions against us must be commenced in California within one year after the claim arose, or be barred.
