Cookies
When you visit our Site we send one or more “cookies” to your computer or other device. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences and other information. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service, including for storing user preferences, tracking user trends and providing relevant advertising to you (See Advertising, below).
HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
To Provide Products, Services, and Information
As described above, we collect information from you so that we can provide you with information and support that you request from us. We use your personal information to contact you about your requests. We may send you information about our products and services, and new offerings. We may provide information to third party service providers that help us process orders, and to fulfil and deliver products and services that you purchase from us.
We may use third parties to help host our Site, send out email updates about the Site, provide marketing and advertising services for us, remove repetitive information from our user lists, and process payments. These service providers will have access to your personal information in order to provide these services, but when this occurs we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to helping us provide the service. We use demographic information to better understand our customers, and improve our products and services.
Advertising
We may use how you browse and shop in order to show you ads for Auditory Systems or our advertising partners that are more relevant to your interests. We may use cookies and other information to provide relevant interest-based advertising to you. Interest-based ads are ads presented to you based on your browsing behaviour in order to provide you with ads more tailored to your interests. These interest-based ads may be presented to you while you are browsing our site or third-party sites not owned by Auditory Systems.
We belong to ad networks or use marketing companies that may use your browsing history across participating websites to show you interest-based advertisements on those websites. Please note that if you choose to opt out, you will continue to see ads on our Site, but they will not be based on how you browse and shop.
Our Site does not respond to “do not track” signals or similar mechanisms to indicate you do not wish us to collect information about your online activity or receive interest-based ads. To learn more about interest-based advertisements and your opt-out rights and options, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative websites (www.aboutads.info and www.networkadvertising.org).
Your Consent
In addition to sharing for reasons as described elsewhere in this Policy, we will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of the Auditory Systems when we have your consent to do so.
Legal Requests or Requirements and to Prevent Harm
We will share personal information with third party companies, organizations or individuals outside of Auditory Systems if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:
Meet any applicable law, regulation, subpoena, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
Enforce applicable Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations.
Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Auditory Systems, our users, customers or the public as required or permitted by law.
Transfer in the Event of Sale or Change of Control
If the ownership of all or substantially all of our business changes or we otherwise transfer assets relating to our business or the Site to a third party, such as by merger, acquisition, bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, we may transfer or sell your personal information to the new owner. In such a case, unless permitted otherwise by applicable law, your information would remain subject to the promises made in the applicable privacy policy unless you agree differently.
ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION AND CHOICES
If you have questions about personal information we have about you or need to update your information, you can Contact Us. You can opt-out of receiving marketing and promotional e-mails from Auditory Systems by sending us an email saying “Please remove,” or using the opt-out or unsubscribe feature contained in the e-mails.
SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
In order to help secure your personal information, access to your data on our Site is password-protected, and sensitive data (such as a social security number) is protected by encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and our Site. To protect any data you store on our servers, we also regularly audit our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we use a tier-one secured-access data center. However, since the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot guarantee, ensure, or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. There is no guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information. Please note that e-mails and other communications you send to us through our Site are not encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information through these means.
INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY PRACTICES
Auditory Systems’s websites, including websites directed to residents in countries and jurisdictions outside of the Netherlands, are operated and managed on servers located and operated within the Netherlands. By using and accessing our Sites, residents and citizens of countries and jurisdictions outside of the Netherlands agree and consent to the transfer to and processing of personal information on servers located in the Netherlands, and that the protection of such information may be different than required under the laws of your residence or location.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your consent in accordance with applicable law. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes). We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.
