Legal Notices and Disclaimers

Privacy Policy

At The Technology Shop, we are committed to protecting your privacy. You visit most of our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains data collection and use in those situations. By using any The Technology Shop web site, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are asked to register, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a limited-access part of the site, or when purchasing and registering The Technology Shop. Personal information collected by The Technology Shop often is limited to e-mail address, language, country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.

When you buy and install a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically. When you do, we keep this registration information on file with any information you've already given us on previous visits to our Web site. This is considered your personal profile.

Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for four primary purposes:
To make the site easier for you to use by not making you enter your personal information more than once.
To help you quickly find information on The Technology Shop sites.
To help us create and deliver content most relevant to you.
To alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new services from The Technology Shop.
Information collected may be shared within The Technology Shop, including any of its subsidiaries and affiliates. Additionally, we occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

The Technology Shop will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on The Technology Shop or its sites; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of The Technology Shop and its family of Web sites, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of The Technology Shop, its Web sites, or the public.

Control of your Personal Information
When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, The Technology Shop will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.

The Technology Shop may send out periodic e-mails informing you of technical service issues related to a product or service you requested. You will not be able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are considered an essential part of the service you have chosen.

Access to your Personal Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may review and update this information at any time at the Profile Center. You can:
View and edit personal information you have already given us.
Tell us whether you want The Technology Shop to send you marketing information.
Subscribe or cancel subscriptions to newsletters about our services and products.

Security of your Personal Information
The Technology Shop strictly protects the security of your personal information and honors your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Your personal information is never shared outside the company without your permission, except under conditions explained above. Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access.

Use of Cookies
To ensure we are publishing content customers need and want, The Technology Shop collects aggregated site-visitation statistics using cookies. We do not track individuals' use of the site. When someone visits the site, a cookie is placed on the customer’s machine (if the customer accepts cookies) or is read if the customer has visited the site previously. Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action tags, assist in delivering the cookie. This technology tells us how many visitors clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics) on a The Technology Shop Web page. We do not share tracking information outside of The Technology Shop, and do not allow other companies to place clear gifs on our sites.

Changes to this Statement
The Technology Shop will occasionally update this privacy statement. It is your responsibility to consistently visit this page for any updates.
