ViaTech or its service providers send cookies when you surf our site or sites, make purchases, request or personalize information, or register yourself for certain services. Accepting the cookies used on our site, may give us access to information about your browsing behavior, which we may use to personalize your experience. Cookies are typically classified as either “session” cookies or “persistent” cookies.
• Session cookies do not stay on your computer after you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your computer until you delete them or they expire. Most browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can usually refuse cookies or selectively accept cookies by adjusting the preferences in your browser. If you turn off cookies, there may be some features of our site that will not be available to you and some web pages may not display properly.

You can find information on popular browsers and how to adjust your cookie preferences in the help and support section of your browser.

For some applications and websites, ViaTech and third parties with whom we partner will use Flash local shared objects (LSOs) and similar technologies to store Flash content information and preferences. LSOs perform similar functions to HTML browser cookies and deposit small files on your computer, which are commonly called Flash cookies.

Web beacons
 
Some web pages, applications, and HTML-formatted email use web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about your website usage and your interaction with email. A web beacon is an electronic image, called a single-pixel (1x1) or clear GIF. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on your computer such as cookies, the time and date of a page viewed, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed.

You may be able to disable web beacons in email messages by not downloading images contained in the message you receive (this feature varies depending on the email software used on your personal computer). However, doing this may not always disable a web beacon or other automatic data collection tools in the email message due to specific email software capabilities. For more information about this, please refer to the information provided by your email software or service provider.

If you choose to receive marketing emails or newsletters from ViaTech, we may automatically collect personal information about you. For example, through web beacons and personalized URLs embedded in these emails or newsletters, ViaTech can track whether you’ve opened those messages and whether you’ve clicked on links contained within those messages. For more information on embedded web links, see below.
 
Embedded Web links
 
In emails, web links can allow ViaTech to determine whether you have clicked a link in an email, and this information about the interaction may be connected to your personal identity. If you do not want us to collect information about the links that you click, you can:
• change your choice about how you receive communications from ViaTech (i.e. choose a text-based version of the message where available) or choose not to click links in an email we send.


Keeping your personal information secure

ViaTech takes the trust you place in us seriously. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, we utilize reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard the information we collect and process. ViaTech retains data only as required or permitted by local law or for a legitimate business purpose.

When collecting or transferring sensitive information such as credit card information we use a variety of additional security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The personal information you provide us is stored on computer systems located in controlled facilities which have limited access. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as credit card number or password) over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, and other commercially available cryptographic techniques
Credit card numbers are used only for processing payments and are not used for other purposes.
