Why we
collect personal information
We collect your personal information via the website because it
helps us deliver a superior level of user experience. It enables us to give you
convenient access to our products and services and your personal information may
help us keep you posted on the latest product announcements, software or
service updates, special offers, and events that you might like to hear about.
What
information we collect and how we may use it
There are a number of situations in which your personal
information may be collected help us give you better products and services or a
better user experience. For example:
When you interact with First Orion, we may collect
personal information relevant to the situation, such as your name, mailing
address, phone number, email address, and contact preferences, your credit card
information, and information relating to an inquiry or support issue.
We also may collect information for market
research purposes — such as your occupation and
where you use your computer — to gain a better
understanding of our website users and thus provide more valuable user
experience.
We may collect information regarding user
activities on our website. This helps us to determine how best to provide
useful information to website users and to understand which parts of our
websites and services are of most interest to them.
We may use personal information to provide
products or services that you have requested as well as for auditing, research,
and analysis to improve First Orion’s products and services.
We may transmit personal information to or from
the United States for processing, storage or other purposes related to First
Orion products or services.
Publicly
displayed information is public
If you use a bulletin board or chat room on a First Orion website
you should be aware that any information you share is visible to other users.
Personally identifiable information you submit to one of these forums can be
read, collected, or used by other individuals to send you unsolicited messages.
First Orion is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you
choose to submit in these forums. For example, if you choose to make
information, which was previously non-public, available by enabling certain
user features, First Orion will collect that information from your interaction
and the information will become publicly available.
When we
disclose your information
To help us provide superior service, your personal information may
be shared with legal entities within the First Orion group globally who will
take steps to safeguard it in accordance with First Orion’s privacy policy.
With our
service providers, vendors, and strategic partners
There are also times when it may be advantageous for First Orion
to make certain personal information about you available to companies that
First Orion has a strategic relationship with or that perform work for First
Orion to provide products and services to you on our behalf. These companies
may help us process information, extend credit, fulfill orders, deliver products
to you, manage and enhance data, provide customer service, assess your interest
in our products and services, or conduct customer research or satisfaction
surveys.
At times we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your
personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we
determine that for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of
public importance, disclosure is necessary.
How we
protect your personal information
First Orion takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against
loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration, and destruction.
You can help us by also taking precautions to protect your
personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often using a
combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure web browser.
Kids
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under
13 for marketing purposes. If a child under 13 submits personal information to
First Orion via the website and we learn that that personal information is the
information of a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as
soon as possible.
Cookies and
other technologies
As is standard practice on many corporate websites, First Orion’s website uses “cookies” and other technologies to
help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our
visitors are going, and how much time they spend there. We also may use cookies
and other technologies to make sure that our online advertising is bringing website
users to our products and services, such as iTunes. We may use cookies and
other technologies to study traffic patterns on our website, to make it even
more rewarding as well as to study the effectiveness of our website user
communications. And we may use cookies to customize your experience and provide
greater convenience each time you interact with us.
If you prefer not to enable cookies certain features of the First
Orion website may not be available once cookies are disabled.
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information
automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users,
to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather
demographic information about our user base as a whole.
In some of our email messages we may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the First Orion website. When website users
click one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at
the destination web page. We may track this click-through data to help us
determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our
communications. If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or
graphic links in the email.
In addition we may use pixel tags — tiny graphic images — to tell us what parts of our website users have visited or to
measure the effectiveness of searches website users perform on our site.
Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format website
users can read. And they tell us whether emails have been opened to ensure that
we’re sending only messages that
are of interest to our website users.
Links
First Orion’s website has links to the
sites of other companies. First Orion is not responsible for their privacy
practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those
companies.
Updates
First Orion reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change,
modify, add or remove portions of its privacy policy from time to time by
posting the updated privacy policy and effective date. It is your
responsibility to check this privacy policy periodically for changes.
