If you use our website/services, we may ask you to provide further information, including but not limited to technical specifications, financial information, and other business-related information. When you visit our Site, we collect certain routing information such as the Internet Protocol address of your originating Internet Service Provider, and information provided by "cookies" stored on your hard drive. Cookies are small data files containing a unique identifier so that we can recognize you each time you return to our Site, and which keep track of the pages you view on our Site and which services you use. This information allows us to provide more tailored and user-friendly services.

We also collect aggregate information about the use of our Site, such as which pages are most frequently visited, how many visitors we receive daily, and how long visitors stay on each page.

With Whom Do We Share Information?

We may provide the information we collect about you and your company, including your e-mail address or other identifying information, to our affiliates and to third parties, such as manufacturers, suppliers or others involved in the distribution chain to provide the products and/or services. We may provide aggregate statistics about visitors, Site transactions or other Site activity.

We may disclose information about you or your company if we have a good faith belief that we are required to do so by law or legal process, to respond to claims, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Cimetrics or others.

Other companies that provide services on our Site, or advertise on or link to our Site, may use cookies or collect other information about you when you go to their site. We do not control the collection or use of information by these companies.

Does Cimetrics share the information they receive?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information as described below:

Agents

We employ other parties to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, 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 their functions, but they may not use this information for other purposes.

Business transfers

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, customer information may be one of the transferred business assets.

Protection of Cimetrics and others

We release account and other information when we are legally required to do so. We also release information to protect the rights, property, and safety of Cimetrics, our users, and others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

With your consent

Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share that information.

Use of your Personal Information

In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Cimetrics may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Cimetrics, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Cimetrics web sites 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 Cimetrics or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Cimetrics, a Cimetrics web site; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Cimetrics, its web sites, or the public.
