At Inventeering we respect your right to privacy. We understand that as a user of our website, you prefer to control your own personal information preferences. For this reason, we may ask you to register or provide personal information and preferences when you visit certain areas of our Site, download and make use of software or other materials, request information, register for events or subscribe to newsletters or email lists.  For purposes of this Privacy Statement, you and any other users are referred to as “User(s)”, “you” or “your”.

 

When you provide Inventeering with your name, email address, mailing address, or telephone number, and you don't "opt out", we may use this information to alert you to organization news and event information. We don't sell any user-provided information to third parties.    If you don't want Inventeering to contact you, you may "opt-out" of this preference at any time, whether you're online or contacting Inventeering directly. You'll always have the flexibility to opt back in at any time based on previous information or newly updated information.  See the "How Can I Update My Information or Remove Myself from Your Database" section for further information.

 

Collecting Other Personal Information

 

When you browse our Site, you can do so anonymously. Generally, we don't collect personal information when you browse - not even your email address. However, your browser automatically tells us the type of computer and operating system you're using.

 

Like most standard websites, our Site uses log files (cookies). A "cookie" is a small line of text that is stored with your Web browser for record-keeping purposes and may help you reach secure areas on the site and/or permit online ordering or purchasing to be done in a more efficient manner. Your browser has an option to accept, reject or provide you with notice when a cookie is sent.  If your browser is set to reject cookies, then certain areas of the Inventeering website and/or specific features may not be available.  Inventeering will not use information gained from cookies to provide personally identifiable information to third parties without permission. 

 

If you download or purchase a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and address), information about your system configuration, and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). We use this information for billing purposes, to fill your orders and to provide you with software updates. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you. We do not retain credit card data without your express authorization.

 

How we Protect Your Personal Information

 

If Inventeering requests or obtains general demographic information from you, such information is limited to reporting and analysis purposes only. Phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and postal addresses are never shared for demographic reports with outside entities. Though we make every effort to preserve User privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law and when we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal requirement.

 

We use any personally-identifying and/or product or system information we receive from you to tailor your Inventeering.com experience and provide you with the specific information, products or services you are seeking. This information remains confidential consistent with this Privacy Policy. With the information you volunteer, we can process your purchases, confirm your orders, customize the page content and language, notify you of updates to our site and products, and provide you with specific product and local event information. We add any information you provide to our customer database. Therefore, you may receive periodic mailings, e-mails, or telephone calls from us about new products and services, discounts, special promotions, or upcoming events.

 

At any time, you can change the information we have stored in our customer database or request not to be contacted. See "How Can I Update My Information or Remove Myself from Your Database" or visit the email preferences area of your profile. If you do not have a Inventeering.com profile, visit Inventeering.com/remove to update your email preferences. Please give four to six weeks for these changes to take effect in our internal customer databases.

Please give four to six weeks for these changes to take effect in our internal customer databases. Note, your information cannot be completely "deleted" from our database.

How Does the Inventeering Privacy Statement Affect Me Outside the U.S.?

 

To the extent applicable, Inventeering attempts to comply with local data protection rights laws. If you are unsure whether this privacy statement is in conflict with applicable local rules, you should not submit your information. IF YOU ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION, YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT YOUR INFORMATION WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE UNITED STATES, WHICH IS DEEMED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION TO HAVE INADEQUATE DATA PROTECTION. In accordance with local laws implementing European Union Directive 95/46/EC of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data ("EU Privacy Directive"), customers located in countries outside of the United States of America who submit personal information do thereby consent to the general use of such information as provided in this Privacy Statement and to its transfer to and/or storage in the United States of America.

Our Site may contain links to other websites. Inventeering assumes no responsibility for the content or the privacy policies and practices of such websites.  Inventeering encourages you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites; their privacy practices may differ from ours.

 

Notification of Changes

 

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

 

If we are going to use Users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will attempt to notify Users via email, provided that the User email address we have on record is current and valid. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their accounts, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes to our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also attempt to email Users who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
