Personal information |
|
| In general, you can visit Computer
PRO on the Internet without telling us who you are and without
giving any personal information about yourself. There are times,
however, when we or our partners may need information from you.
You may choose to give us personal information in a
variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us
information, such as your name and address or e-mail id, to
correspond with you, to process an order, or to provide you with a
subscription. You may give us your credit card details to buy
something from us or a description of your education and work
experience in connection with a job opening at Computer PRO that you
wish to be considered for. We intend to let you know how we will use
such information before we collect it from you; if you tell us that
you do not want us to use this information to make further contact
with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your
wishes. If you give us personal information about somebody else,
such as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that you have
their permission to do so. |

|
Using and Sharing Personal Information |
|
|
| The following paragraphs describe in
more detail how Computer PRO may use your personal information and
with whom we may share it. Depending on the type of Computer PRO Web
site you are visiting, one or more of the paragraphs may apply. For

|
|
Fulfilling your transaction request |
|
|
| If you request something from an
Computer PRO Web site, for example, a product or service, a
callback, or specific marketing materials, we will use the
information you provide to fulfill your request. To help us do this,
we may share information, with others, for instance, other parts of
Computer PRO, Computer PRO's Business Partners, financial
institutions, shipping companies, postal or government authorities
(for example, Customs authorities) involved in fulfillment. In
connection with a transaction we may also contact you as part of our
customer satisfaction surveys or for market research purposes. |
|
|
|
|
|
Marketing Use |
|
|
| The information you provide to
Computer PRO on certain Computer PRO Web sites may also be used by
Computer PRO and selected third parties for marketing purposes.
Before we use it, however, we will offer you the opportunity to
choose whether or not to have your information used in this way. |

|
Computer PRO Human Resources Web Sites (including
Recruitment) |

throughout Computer PRO and its related entities for the purpose of
employment consideration or your inquiry. Except where you tell us
not to, we will keep the information for future consideration. |

information provided on that site to administer and develop our
business relationship with you, the Business Partner you represent,
and Computer PRO Business Partners generally. For instance, this may
involve using your information to send you details of Computer PRO
Business Partner programs. It may also include sharing certain
information with other Business Partners (subject to any
confidentiality obligations that may exist), or Computer PRO
customers or prospects. In connection with a particular transaction
or program, we may also contact you as part of customer satisfaction
surveys or for market research purposes. |

or performing a transaction with you. For example, this may include
sharing information with other parts of Computer PRO, Computer PRO's

information you provide there will be made broadly available to
others, potentially inside or outside Computer PRO, who have access

Other
Computer PRO Web Site Notices |
|
|
| In some cases, specific Computer PRO
Web sites may contain other notices about their use and the
information practices applicable to those sites. |
|
|
|
|
|
Our Worldwide
Practices |
|
|
| Computer PRO is a global
organization, with legal entities, business processes, management
structures, and technical systems that cross borders.
Our privacy practices are designed to provide
protection for your personal information, all over the world.
We may share your personal information within
Computer PRO and transfer it to countries in the world where we do
business.
Some countries may provide less legal protection
for your information. In such countries Computer PRO will still
handle information in the manner we describe here. |
|
|
|
|
|
Information Security and Quality |
|
|
| We intend to protect your personal
information and to maintain its quality. We implement appropriate
measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting
certain sensitive information, to help us to keep your information
secure and to maintain its quality. |
|
|
|
|
|
Supplementing Information |
|
|
| From time to time we may supplement
information you give us via an Computer PRO Web site with
information from other sources, such as information validating your
address or other available information about businesses. This is to
help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect and to
help us provide a better service. |
|
|
|
|
|
Use of Suppliers |
|
|
| In some cases Computer PRO uses
suppliers to collect, use, analyze and otherwise process information
on its behalf. It is Computer PRO's practice to require such
suppliers to handle information in a manner consistent with Computer
PRO's policies. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mergers and
Acquisitions |
|
|
| Circumstances may arise where,
whether for strategic or other business reasons, Computer PRO
decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in
some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of
personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or
receiving it from sellers. It is Computer PRO’s practice to seek
appropriate protection for information in these types of
transactions. |
|
|
|
|
|
Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies |
|
|
| We sometimes collect non-identifiable
information from visits to our Web sites to help us provide better
customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from
which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on Computer
PRO Web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the information
non-identifiable. This information is sometimes known as "click
stream data." Computer PRO or others on Computer PRO's behalf may
use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us
provide better customer service. Also, when
we collect personal data from you in a transaction, we may extract
some information about that transaction in an non-identifiable
format and combine it with other non-identifiable information such
as click stream data. This information is used and analyzed only at
an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. This
information is not reviewed at an individual level. If you do not
want your transaction details used in this manner you can disable
your cookies.
We collect the information we mentioned in the
previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies,
including one called "cookies". A cookie is a piece of data that a
Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your
computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not
you. Some Computer PRO pages use cookies, sent by Computer PRO or
its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you
when you return to the Web site. You can set your browser to notify
you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide
whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off
cookies. If you do so, however, some Web sites may not work
properly.
Some Computer PRO Web sites also use Web beacon or
other technologies to better tailor those sites to provide better
customer service. These technologies may be in use on a number of
pages across Computer PRO's Web sites. When a visitor accesses these
pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which
may be processed by us or by our suppliers. These Web beacons
usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you don't want your
cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages,
you can set your browser to turn off cookies.
If you turn off cookies, Web beacon and other
technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the
notices they generate cannot be associated with other
non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded. For more
information, please see "How
to work with Cookies". |
|
|
|
|
Service Quality Monitoring |
|
| Certain Web transactions may also
involve you calling us or our calling you. Please be aware that it
is Computer PRO's general practice to monitor and in some cases
record such calls for staff training or quality assurance purposes. |
|
|
|
|
Online Advertising |
|
| Certain companies help us deliver
interactive on-line advertising such as banner ads. These companies
may collect and use information about customers to help us better
understand the offers, promotions, and types of advertising that are
most appealing to our customers. After it is collected the
information is aggregated so it is not identifiable to a specific
individual. If, however, you would prefer that these companies not
collect such information, please visit
www.networkadvertising.org and follow the "opt-out"
instructions. |
|
|
|
|
Personalized URL Link |
|
| On occasion, we may personalize and
customize Web sites for certain visitors. If you visit one of these
sites, you may find it customized with references to products and/or
services that we believe may be of interest to you, based on your
previous interactions with Computer PRO and information you have
provided to us. While you are visiting these Web sites, we may
collect information about your visit to better tailor the site to
your interests. An invitation to visit one of these Web sites is
usually presented as a personalized URL in an e-mail, a notice on a
Web site registration page, or as a response to you logging on to a
certain Web site. If you choose to visit one
of these Web sites, you are agreeing to let Computer PRO collect
information about your visits and also to its association with other
information about you and your relationship with Computer PRO. If
you do not wish your information to be used in this way, do not
accept the invitation to visit these sites. |
|
|
|
|
Disclosures Required By
Law |
|
| Please be aware that in certain
circumstances, it is possible that personal information may be
subject to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government
subpoenas, warrants, or orders. |
|
|
|
|
Privacy Technology |
|
| Technology will increasingly help
give you more control over your personal information. It will also
help organizations to manage their privacy practices and policies.
As an information technology provider, Computer PRO actively
supports the development of privacy technologies to help achieve
these goals and to help create greater trust and confidence in the
way personal information is handled. Other products and
services are available which can assist you with the control of your
personal information while navigating the Web. See
http://www.privacyalliance.org/ resources/rulesntools.shtml for
an overview of many privacy-related tools. Please note that Computer
PRO has not formally evaluated these tools. |

links to other Web sites. Computer PRO is not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of those other Web sites. |
