EPC Privacy and Data Protection Policy

Your privacy is important to Executive Personal Computers (EPC), Inc., and its global affiliates (collectively “EPC” or “we” or “our”). This Policy explains what Personal Data we collect from you, why we collect and process your personal data, when and with whom your personal data is shared, and your rights with respect to your Personal Data.

This policy applies to all EPC employees and employees of the EPC global
solutions affiliates.

In this Policy the term “Personal Data” means data that identifies or may be used to identify an individual person, including, but not limited to, a person’s name, date of birth, job title, address, email, phone number, or employer. In order to provide outstanding service, we must collect, maintain and process certain Personal Data about our customers, suppliers and other business contacts. We recognize and respect your privacy concerns and expectations about how we use this information. We want you to know about our privacy policies and practices, and what we do to protect your Personal Data.

Personal Data We Collect on our Website
In general, you can visit EPC websites without telling us who you are and without giving any personal data about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you. When you select the “Contact EPC” button, we will ask you to read and agree to this Privacy Policy before you submit your Personal Data to us.

If you apply for a job through our websites, we may collect and process Personal Data you submit to us such as name, address, references, and employment history in order to evaluate your qualifications for a job and contact your references. We will retain your information until the position is filled and for up to six months after the position is filled in case other positions become available.

In all cases in which you submit personal information over our websites, you may tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, and we will respect your wishes. If you give us personal information about someone else, such as a spouse, a reference, or a work colleague, we will assume that you have that person’s permission to do so. In any case, we will only retain your personal data for as long as we have a legitimate and lawful reason to do so.

When you visit our websites, EPC may collect certain non-personal data by various means, one of which is “cookies.” Cookies tell website operators to recognize your computer when you revisit a site. Cookies help to improve the use of the website. Cookies also allow Web sites to analyze aggregate traffic on the site, in order to streamline navigation and keep the content fresh for all visitors. You can configure your browser to reject cookies. Cookies do not contain personal data, nor can they read or transmit any data on your computer’s hard drive. Regardless of cookies, all web-browsers transmit the IP address of the computer on which they are running. For most users accessing our websites from an Internet Service Provider (ISP), the IP address will be different every time you log on. IP addresses may be used for various purposes, including to: (1) diagnose service or technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific Web company or ISP, (2) develop the most appropriate advertising based on geographic area or information derived from IP addresses, (3) estimate the total number of users visiting EPC from specific countries or regions of the world, (4) assist EPC to track visits to our Web site, and (5) help determine which users have access privileges to certain EPC Web site content.

EPC does not tolerate spam and is committed to proper Web practices and full compliance with the CANSPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. §7701.) We do not sell or rent e-mail addresses to any unauthorized third party. This does not mean that we can prevent all spam from happening on the internet. If you believe that you have received an unsolicited e-mail from us, please contact EPC at privacy@epcusa.com and we will investigate.

Children
EPC websites are not intended for visitors under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal data from or about children, nor do we knowingly market our products or services to children.
