Amerind Solutions and
its subsidiaries ("Amerind Solutions" or
"we") respect your privacy and are committed
to protecting personal information that you
may share with us. This Privacy Policy
describes how we may collect and use your
personal information.
Information We Collect
Personal information
means any information that may be used to
identify an individual, including, but not
limited to, a first and last name, email
address, a home, postal or other physical
address, other contact information, title,
occupation, industry, personal interests,
and other information when needed to provide
a service or product or carry out a
transaction you have requested. Unless you
choose to voluntarily provide the
information to us, we do not collect
personally identifiable information about
you, such as your name, address, telephone
number, fax number, or e-mail address. For
instance, you may be asked to provide us
with your personal information when you
apply for a job opening, register to attend
a company event, or wish to subscribe to a
newsletter. If you elect to submit any
personal information, your submission is
subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy
and you consent to such terms.
Like many other
commercial websites, the Amerind Solutions
website may use standard technologies, such
as "cookies" and other HTML tools, to
collect information about how you use the
site or to record that you opened an email
marketing message. As such, we may log your
IP address (the Internet address of your
computer) to give us an idea of which part
of our website you visit and how long you
spend there. See section entitled "Cookies"
below.
Cookies
Some parts of the
Amerind Solutions website use cookies to
track user traffic patterns. We do this in
order to determine the usefulness of our
website information to our users and to see
how effective our navigational structure is
in helping users reach that information. A
cookie is a small data file that certain web
sites write to your hard drive when you
visit them. A cookie file can contain
information such as a user ID that the site
uses to track the pages you have visited.
If you prefer not to
receive cookies while browsing our website,
you can set your browser to warn you before
accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when
your browser alerts you to its presence. You
can also refuse all cookies by turning them
off in your browser, although you may not be
able to take full advantage of the Amerind
Solutions website if you do so. In
particular, you may be required to accept
cookies in order to complete certain actions
on our website. You do not need to have
cookies turned on, however, to use/navigate
through many parts of our website, except
access to certain of Amerind Solutions' web
pages that require a login and password.
Notice
When personal
information is collected, we will inform you
at the point of collection the purpose for
the collection. Amerind Solutions will not
transfer your personal information to third
parties without your consent, except under
the limited conditions described under the
section entitled "Information Sharing and
Disclosure" below.
In most cases we will
provide you with the opportunity to "opt in"
prior to receiving direct marketing or
market research information. This means we
will require your affirmative action to
indicate your consent before we use your
information for purposes other than the
purpose for which it was submitted. At a
minimum, we will always give you the
opportunity to "opt out" of receiving such
materials. This means we assume you have
given us your consent to collect and use
your information in accordance with this
Privacy Policy unless you take affirmative
action to indicate that you do not consent,
for instance by clicking or checking the
appropriate option or box at the point of
collection.
How We Use Information
Collected
Amerind Solutions uses
personal information for several general
purposes: to fulfill your requests for
certain products and services, to
personalize your experience on our website,
to keep you up to date on the latest product
announcements, software updates, special
offers or other information we think you
would like to hear about either from us or
from our business partners, and to better
understand your needs and provide you with
better services. We may also use your
information to send you, or to have our
business partners send you, direct marketing
information or contact you for market
research.
Information Sharing
and Disclosure
We do not transfer or
share your information except as provided
below:
1.
Because
Amerind Solutions is a global company, your
personal information may be transferred or
shared with other Amerind Solutions offices
or subsidiaries around the world. This may
result in your information crossing from
your country or jurisdiction to other
countries or jurisdictions around the world.
All such entities are governed by this
Privacy Policy.
2.
Amerind
Solutions may also share your information to
third parties if we collect your information
for a specific purpose (e.g., to register
you for an event or register for the
newsletter) and such third party must
receive your information for registration
purposes (e.g., third party operates the
newsletter).
3.
Amerind
Solutions may also share your information
with our business partners in those cases
where we believe that your business might be
served and we can better provide you with
updates on services and benefits provided by
us and our business partners.
4.
Amerind
Solutions may also send your personal
information to other companies or people if:
o
* we have your consent
to share the information; or
o
* if required to do so
by law, or if we have a good-faith belief
that such action is necessary to comply with
a court order or subpoena, to cooperate with
investigations by law enforcement or
regulatory authorities or to participate or
cooperate with a judicial proceeding, or in
urgent circumstances, to protect personal
safety, the public or our websites;
5.
In the
event of a merger, consolidation or
reorganization involving Amerind Solutions,
acquisition of Amerind Solutions by another
company, a sale of all or a portion of
Amerind Solutions' assets, or other similar
transaction, your personal information will,
in most instances, be transferred to the
control of the third party that is part of
that transaction.
Data Security
Amerind Solutions and
its companies are committed to protecting
your personal information and do so with
certain physical and technological
procedures. However, we cannot ensure the
security of the information as you transmit
it to us, and so we urge you to take every
precaution to protect your personal data
when you are on the Internet. This includes
using a secure browser where applicable.
Changes to this
Privacy Policy
We may amend this
Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make
any substantial changes in the way we use
your personal information we will make that
information available by posting a notice on
this site. We may also, but are not required
to, notify you by email or regular mail.
