Audiovox is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Audiovox collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
Information Collected
We collect non-personally identifiable information about you, including your IP address, computer settings or most-recently visited URL. Personally identifiable information is information about you including your name, address, e-mail address, or phone number, and that which is not otherwise publicly available. We may also ask you to provide certain non-personally identifiable information about yourself, such as your age, household income, buying preferences, etc. Personally identifiable information about you is collected when you voluntarily submit such information to us, by, for example, filling out a survey or registration form. We may combine personal information collected from you with information from other Company services or third parties to provide a better user experience, including customizing content for you
Orders
We also request information from you when you order products through our order form. Here a user must provide contact information (such as name and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date). The information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Project Registration Widgets
You provide certain personal data to officially register your product(s) with Audiovox. This will require you to accept a download widget on to your desktop. We may use some of the information you provide to us, but nothing which will personally identify you. We use one or more third party, independent companies, to collect statistical information for us. This practice may be changed or discontinued at any time. By installing the widget you may receive notifications (authorizing us to send information) about your product, be notified of contests, giveaways, special offers and discounts or rebates from Audiovox or our partners. You may be notified when product information about your product or product group is updated by our customer services web self help system.
After completing the registration, you may remove the widget. Uninstalling the widget does not remove product registration.
Music Downloads
You provide certain personal data to access the music downloads online. We may use some of the information you provide to us, but nothing which will personally identify you. We use one or more third party, independent companies, to collect statistical information for us related to these downloads. This arrangement may be changed or discontinued at any time.
Use of Information
We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal information, except as described here. In general, we will only use the information you provide to us for the purpose for which such information was provided. We may also use this information to deliver to you information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners and affiliates, trend analysis, pattern detection, and site administration. Your information may also be used to contact you when necessary and may be shared with other companies that may want to contact you with offers consistent with your stated preferences. Users may opt-out of receiving future communications from Audiovox and other entities by following the instructions set forth in the opt-out section below.
Non-personal demographic and profile data is used to tailor your experience at our site, showing you content we think you might be interested in. This information may also be shared with advertisers on an aggregate non-personal basis. We may also share information with third parties in limited circumstances, including when we are required to do so by law or legal process, or to prevent fraud or imminent harm, and to ensure the security of our network and services.
In order to provide you with certain services offered through the Audiovox Website, Audiovox may share information provided by our visitors (such as user name and password) with third parties with whom Audiovox has contracted in order to provide you with such services. These third parties are restricted from using or disclosing the information except as necessary to provide you with services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.
Audiovox may also disclose your information in the event that we transfer or sell all or a portion of our business or assets or upon any other corporate reorganization. In the event of such a sale or transfer, we will use reasonable efforts to request that the transferee or acquirer will use personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Children's Privacy
This Website is not directed to children under the age of thirteen and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a visitor under the age of thirteen on the Website, we will delete the information from our records. We encourage parents and guardians to take a proactive role in their children's online activities and interests.
Use of IP Addresses
We use your IP Address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Website.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are an industry standard used by most major Websites. When you view our Website we might store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a "cookie" or similar file. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Cookies do not spy on you or otherwise invade your privacy, and they cannot invade your hard drive and steal information. Rather, they help you navigate a Website as easily as possible. We use cookies to improve the quality of our services, deliver content specific to your interests and to prevent you from reentering all your registration data at each connection.
We may use an outside advertisement server company to display ads on our site. These ads may contain cookies. Through banner ads the advertisement server company may set and access their cookies on your computer. We do not have access to information that would confirm the use of cookies by the advertisement server company. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policy, not this one. You may decline to provide personal information to us and/or refuse cookies in your browser, although some of our features may not function properly as a result.
Security
Our site has industry standard security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line. While there is no such thing as "absolute security" on the Internet, we make good faith efforts to take every step to ensure the safety of your personal information, whenever reasonably possible.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is secure and protected with secure socket layer (SSL) technology to help keep the personal information you provide on this Website secure. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just "surfing".
Other Website Links
Our Website contains links to other Websites. Because this Policy only applies to the Audiovox Website itself and not linked Websites, you should examine the privacy policy of any other Websites that you access from the Audiovox Website. Audiovox is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other Websites.
Correct; Update
Audiovox allows its users the option to change or modify information previously provided. This may be done through the following methods:
(1) Click the "update user profile option" found on select email correspondence you receive from us.
Visit the Customer Service section of the site and follow the appropriate instructions.
Unfortunately, to the extent that such information is also stored in other databases, we cannot always ensure that such corrections or deletions will reach the other databases. We will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that your information is removed from or corrected in our records.
Choice; Opt Out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our registration form and order forms have an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
Also, you may opt-out of receiving communications from our partners, and from us, by the following means:
(1) Click the "opt out" link on any email correspondence you receive and follow the appropriate instructions(Note: we never use customer service info for marketing.)
We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to the Audiovox service, such as service announcements and administrative messages, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them absent a cancellation of services with Audiovox.
Public Forums
This site may make chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
