PRIVACY POLICY
Overview
Protexic Brands is strongly committed to protecting
the privacy of users of its website. Our aim is that all persons
whose personal data is processed by Protexic Brands shall at all times
feel confident that their privacy is respected and that due
care is taken with respect to such personal data.
The purpose of this Protexic Brands privacy policy
is to inform you, as a welcome visitor to the Protexic Brands
website, what kinds of information we may gather
about you when you visit, how we may use that information,
whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have
regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information.
Information About All Protexic Brands Website
Visitors
We automatically gather certain usage information like the
numbers and frequency of visitors to the Protexic Brands
website and its areas, very much like television ratings
that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program.
We only use such data in the aggregate, and they are not tied
to any personally identifying information. This collective
data helps us determine how much our visitors use parts of
the website, so we can improve our website to assure that
it meets your needs.
For example, Protexic Brands may use a technology
nicknamed "cookies." Cookies are small data files that are
downloaded onto your computer when you visit our website and
that automatically identify your browser to the Protexic Brands
server whenever you interact with our website.
We may use cookies to tell us how and when pages in our website
are visited, and by how many visitors. We may use this information
to monitor visitor interest in our range of products and services
and to assist us in tailoring the content of this website
to our online visitors' needs. Protexic Brands
cookies do not collect personally identifiable information
and we do not combine information collected through cookies
with other personally identifiable information to tell us
who you are or even what your screen name or e-mail address
is. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will
tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies,
how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new
cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, you
may not be able to use some important features of our website
if you do not accept cookies.
Information About You
We may ask you to provide us with personal information on
a voluntary basis in certain areas of our website, such as
in connection with registering. In particular, you may be
asked to provide your name; your title; your work address,
telephone number, fax number, and email address; your supervisor's
name, position, work address and telephone number; and your
reason for accessing and using the website. You can always
choose not to provide such information, but then you might
not be able to register or take advantage of some of our features.
We use the personally identifiable information that you provide
for such purposes as improving our product recommendations,
responding to your requests, customizing future offers for
you, communicating with you, and sending you information about
Protexic Brands (provided that you have not opted
out as described below). We may also compare our visitor list
to lists received from our affiliates or from other companies,
in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our
visitors. In addition, Protexic Brands may use personally-identifiable
information to conduct other legitimate business activities,
such as protecting the security of the website and of Protexic Brands'
networks, guarding against potential
liability, engaging in debt collection, responding to a court
order or subpoena, preventing fraud, complying with law, and
complying with a legally permitted inquiry by a government
agency or regulator
Disclosure
We do not disclose any personally identifiable information,
including information about your individual visits to the
Protexic Brands website or information, such as
your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number, to
any outside companies. But as mentioned above, we may share
with our website partners aggregated statistical "ratings"
information about the use of the Protexic Brands
website.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions
on our behalf. Examples include sending postal mail and e-mail,
removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing
data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card
payments, and providing customer service. They have access
to personal information needed to perform the functions we
have asked them to, but may not use it for other purposes.
We release account and other personal information when we
believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce
or apply our Conditions
of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property,
or safety of Protexic Brands, our website visitors,
or others. This may include exchanging information with other
companies and organizations for fraud protection.
International Information Transfers
Any personally identifiable information that you provide to
Protexic Brands will be collected and maintained
directly on servers located in the United States. If you are
located outside the United States, this means that any information
you provide will be transferred abroad. While Protexic Brands
is committed to providing your information with
the highest level of privacy protection, we believe you should
know that the general level of protection for personal information
in the United States may not be the same as that provided
in other countries, including those that belong to the European
Economic Area.

information that Protexic Brands holds about you.
You also have a right to correct, amend or delete the information
that Protexic Brands holds about you if it is

policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as required
and only authorized individuals have access to the information
