YOUR CHOICES ABOUT RECEIVING EMAIL
3DISC may send you email about your orders or your account and in response to your questions. 3DISC and its subsidiaries may also send you email with information and/or special offers about products and services that may be of interest to you.
Under most circumstances, we will give you an opportunity to let us know your preference regarding the receiving of promotional emails. This option applies to promotional emails only, as we may find it necessary to send you emails relating to your account, order, product, or pricing changes.
We provide you with the opportunity to update or delete certain Personal Information and to opt-out of having your Personal Information used or disclosed for certain purposes. For example, you may
- correct or update your Personal Information;
- change your preferences for certain communications;
- request that we do not share your Personal Information with third parties for their marketing purposes; or
- request access to your Personal Information.
Because we plan our communications in advance, it may take up to several weeks for your request to become effective. If you continue to receive our communications after expressing an opt-out preference, please let us know so that we can investigate the situation. We will, however, continue to send transaction-based communications if you place an order, request a sample, request customer support, register a product, or make similar requests.
Please be aware that if you do not allow us to collect and use your Personal Information, we may not be able to deliver certain products, promotions, and offerings to you.
INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
3DISC automatically receives and records data on our servers from visitor browsers including computer IP (Internet Protocol) addresses and other information through the use of cookies. This analysis looks for trends among many visitors to 3disc.com or other 3DISC sites and determines which parts of the site are accessed most frequently and what information visitors find most valuable.
We may also collect and record information about what you viewed on our website. We may use this type of information and combine it with your personal information to help customize our future interactions with you. In doing so, we hope to provide better service to you by tailoring our communications to match your interests—to give you more of what you want and less of what you don’t want.
PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION
3DISC implements a variety of administrative, managerial, and technical security measures to help protect your personal information. 3DISC has Internal Control Standards that relate specifically to the handling of personal information. These include certain controls to help safeguard the information we collect online. 3DISC employees are trained to understand and comply with these controls and we communicate our privacy policy, practices, and guidelines to our employees.
However, while we strive to protect your personal information, you must also take steps to protect your information. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal information while you are on the Internet.
