To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online which includes usernames, passwords and email addresses. Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on www.nexsan.com.
If we decide to change our data security and privacy policy (“Policy”), we will post a notice on www.nexsan.com. Those changes will become effective on the date stated in the notice. The new Policy will apply to all current and past users of our web site and will replace any prior policies that are inconsistent. Your continued use of our web site or services constitutes your consent to be bound by the revised Policy.
When you visit www.nexsan.com you may choose to submit to us various information, including personal information, for a number of reasons. For example, you may provide your email address so that we may send to you product updates and information. We may also collect more information such as your activity on our site. This data helps us to better understand our customers and to serve their needs as best as possible. Following are some examples of the type of information we collect, and how it is used.
Like many other web sites, www.nexsan.com makes use of log files. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol ( IP ) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider ( ISP ), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement around the site, and gather demographic information. IP addresses and other such information are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from our server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We may use cookies to tailor Nexsan’s marketing, to better suit the personal interests of you and others, estimate our audience size, track visits to our site, track status in promotions, contests and sweepstakes, and/or analyze visiting patterns. Certain of our service providers may use cookies and collect information on our behalf. However, our policy is to prohibit them from sharing that information with anyone other than us or our other service providers. If you would like to opt out of accepting cookies altogether, typically, you can set your browser to not accept cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. However, certain features of our web site may not work if you delete or disable cookies.
Google, and other third party vendor’s of ours, may use cookies to serve ads linked to www.nexsan.com. These are called DART cookies. The use of a DART cookie enables a third party to serve ads to users based on their visit to www.nexsan.com and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of DART cookies through the third party. For example, to opt-out of Google’s DART cookies, you may go to Google’s network privacy policy at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. Other technologies (such as JavaScript or Web Beacons) may also be used by third-party ad networks to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and / or to personalize the advertising content that you see. Please bear in mind that Nexsan has no access to or control over the practices used by third-party advertisers, and you should consult the respective privacy policies of the third-parties for more detailed information on their practices as well as for instructions about how to opt-out of them.
We use email addresses (and other contact information, such as telephone numbers) submitted to us to communicate product updates and promotions specific to Nexsan or its partners. We sometimes provide such contact information regarding sales leads to our channel partners or third party marketing firms. We may use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website. In addition, we may tell a third party (such as an advertiser or partner) that a certain number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that a certain number of visitors took certain actions (such as completing forms). Each email sent by Nexsan includes a link to opt-out if you so choose, and thereby discontinue email communications – however – if you are a Nexsan channel partner, you may not have the ability to opt-out of receiving information from Nexsan as is required by the terms of the relationship between Nexsan and its channel partners.
Although unlikely, in certain rare instances we may disclose your contact information when we have reason to believe it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against people or entities who may be causing injury to Nexsan or to others. We may also disclose contact information when we believe the law requires it.
Other than as described, we do not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
Our web site may contain links to third party web sites or resources that are maintained by others. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by Nexsan of the content on such third party web sites. Nexsan cannot control and is not responsible for the content of linked third party sites. If you decide to access linked third party sites, you do so at your own risk. Please note that the sites of third parties have privacy policies that differ from Nexsan’s and we ask you to please read those policies before disclosing personal information on the sites.
Unfortunately, despite the precautions that we take, no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed secure or private. As a result, while we strive to protect the personal information that you share with us, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information transmitted to and from our website, and you do so at your own risk.
If you require any more information or have any questions about our Policy, please feel free to contact us by email at marketing@nexsan.com.
