about your visit to our sites, including what pages you
view, the number of bytes transferred, the links you click,

In order to offer you a more consistent experience in your

make our websites easier to use by eliminating the need for
you to repeatedly enter the same information or by customizing
our websites to your particular preference or interests.
Communications
With your permission, we may use your personal information
gathered via our websites to inform you of products or services
available from OWIS. When collecting information that might
be used to contact you about our products and services, we
will always give you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving
such communications. Moreover, each e-mail communication
we send includes an unsubscribe link allowing you to stop
delivery of that type of communication. If you elect to unsubscribe,
we will remove you from the relevant list within 10 business

Employment Applications

you may provide us with information about yourself, such
as a resume or curriculum vitae. We may use this information
throughout OWIS and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates
for the purpose of employment consideration. We will keep
the information for future consideration unless you direct
us not to do so.
Our use of cookies and web beacons
Cookies are small files that websites save to your hard disk
or to your browser's memory. We may use them to track the
number of times you have visited the site, to track the
number of visitors to the site, to determine and analyze
visitors' use of our sites (including the effectiveness
of online advertising), to store information that you provide
such as your preferences, and to store technical information
useful for your interactions with our websites. We may
use session cookies (cookies that are deleted when your
browser session ends) to store your user ID, elements of
your user profile, to facilitate your movement around our
websites (particularly in connection with information searches
and order placement) and other information useful in administering
the session. You have the ability to accept or decline
cookies. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies,
but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline
cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being placed
on your computer. If you choose to decline cookies, you
may not be able to fully experience the features of OWIS's
websites or other websites that you visit. Our sites also
may contain electronic images known as web beacons - sometimes
called single-pixel gifs - that allow us to count the number
of users who have visited those pages. We may include web
beacons in promotional e-mail messages or Newsletters in
order to determine whether messages have been opened and
acted upon.
Disclosure of your personal information
Except as described below, personal information you provide
to OWIS through our websites will not be shared outside
of OWIS and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates
without your permission.
Disclosure to service providers
OWIS contracts with other companies to provide
services on our behalf, such as hosting websites, sending
out information, processing transactions, and analyzing our
websites. We provide these companies with only those elements
of your personal information they need to deliver those services.
These companies and their employees are prohibited from using
that personal information for any other purpose.
Disclosure to partners
In responding to a request made by you, we may share your
personal information with companies that distribute our products.
In those cases, we provide these companies with only those
elements of your personal information they need to respond
to your request, and these companies and their employees
are prohibited from using that personal information for any
other purpose. In some cases, we may seek your permission
to share your information with partners for marketing purposes
other than responding to a request from you. However, we
will not share your information for such marketing purposes
unless we have obtained your express consent to do so.
Disclosure in connection with transactions
In connection with certain transactions, we may disclose
some or all of your personal information to financial institutions,
government entities, and shipping companies or postal services
involved in fulfillment.
Disclosures in connection with acquisitions or divestitures
Circumstances may arise where for strategic or
other business reasons OWIS 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 OWIS's practice to seek appropriate protection
for information in these types of transactions.
Disclosure for other reasons
We may disclose personal information if required
to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action
is necessary to comply with legal requirements or with legal
process served on us, to protect and defend our rights or
property, or in urgent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of any individual.
Security
OWIS is committed to protecting the security of your personal
information. We use a variety of security technologies and
procedures to help protect your personal information from
unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we
store the personal information you provide on computer systems
with limited access that are located in facilities to which
access is limited. For sites to which you login, it is your
responsibility to ensure the security of your password and
not to reveal this information to others. When you move around
a site to which you have logged in, or from one site to another
that uses the same login mechanism, we verify your identity
by means of an encrypted cookie placed on your machine.
Reviewing your personal information
In some cases, you can review and correct personal information
provided through our websites by going to the page on which
you provided the information. In all cases, you can make
a request to review and correct your personal information
collected via our websites or ask OWIS to stop using it by
completing our Contact Us form. We may take steps to verify
your identity before providing you access to your personal
information. You can help us to maintain the accuracy of
your information by notifying us of any change to your mailing
address, phone number, or e-mail address.
Consent to international transfers of personal information
The personal information we collect on our websites may be
sent to the United States or to any other country in which
OWIS or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities.
We may also store and process the information there. Although
the laws that protect personal information in those countries
may differ from the laws where you live, we will take reasonable
steps to ensure that your privacy is protected. By using
our websites and giving your information to us, you consent
to the transfer of the data outside of your country.
Children's information
OWIS does not knowingly collect information from children
and does not target its websites that collect information
to children.
Links to other sites
Our websites may contain links to other sites such as OWIS
partners and sales affiliates, professional and government
organizations, and publications. We also link to third-party
providers that host, maintain and operate on-line training
curricula. While we try to link only to sites that share
our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible
for the content, security, or privacy practices employed
by other sites.
Enforcement of this privacy statement
If you have questions regarding this statement or our handling
of your personal information, please Contact Us. We will
promptly address your concern and strive to reach a satisfactory
resolution.
Changes to this privacy statement
OWIS may occasionally update this privacy statement. When
we do, we will revise the "last updated" date
at the top and bottom of the privacy statement. We will
obtain your opt-in consent for any updates to this privacy
statement that materially expand the sharing or use of
your personal information in ways not disclosed in this
privacy statement at the time of collection.
