Privacy & Security Policy

PEO's Commitment to Privacy

The Peak Electronics Online Web Site ("PEO Site" or "Site") is owned and operated by PEO. PEO is committed to protecting your privacy. To better protect your privacy, we provide this Privacy and Security Policy to explain how we collect and disclose customer information. Our Privacy and Security Policy also addresses our data security practices and the options available to you. We may periodically make changes to this Privacy and Security Policy. It is your responsibility to review this Privacy and Security Policy frequently in order to remain informed; as a result, we encourage you to review this Privacy and Security Policy often.

This Privacy and Security Policy only describes how PEO uses the information that you submit on the PEO Site.

Information We Collect

This Privacy and Security Policy applies to all information collected or submitted on this PEO Site. When using this Site, we may request personal information including your first and last name, home or other physical address, e-mail address, phone number and credit/debit card information. Some information is collected automatically every time you visit the Site, including navigational and clickstream data that shows the pages that are visited and how long various features are used.

Use of Information

PEO uses the information you provide about yourself when placing an order to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties, except to the extent necessary to complete that order. PEO uses the information you provide about someone else when placing an order only to ship the product and to confirm delivery. We may use your e-mail address to communicate with you about your order, for example, to notify you of order status and order tracking information, and to respond to inquiries. We will not send you promotional emails or emails not related to fulfillment of your order unless you have opted-in to receive such emails. We will never sell, rent, or license your personal information to any other company. We will only give your personal shipping information to a third party if it is necessary to fulfill your order.

PEO may use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our Site. We do not disclose any information that could be used to personally identify you to any third party.

We never use or share personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above unless you have opted in to such unrelated uses.

Consent to Processing

By providing any personal information to this Site or PEO, you are acknowledging that you fully understand and unambiguously consent to the collection and processing of such information.

Cookies

"Cookies" are small items of data that some websites either write to your hard drive upon you visiting their site(s) or store in your browser. These data files contain information the site can use to organize the pages you have visited on a particular website. Our Site uses "cookie" technology to measure site activity and tailor information to fit your personal interests. In this way, we can deliver tailor-made information suited to your personal interests upon your next visit to our Site. Our use of "cookie" technology is to provide you with a more individualized delivery of information and an optimal viewing experience.

Pixel Tags

PEO may use "pixel tags", which are small graphic files that allow us to monitor the use of our Site. A pixel tag can collect information such as the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that fetched the pixel tag; and the identification number of any cookie (please see "Cookies" above) on the computer previously placed by that server. When corresponding with you via HTML capable e-mail, we may use "format sensing" technology, which allows pixel tags to let us know whether you received and opened our e-mail.

Data Security

Because your privacy is important to us, we have installed safeguards to secure the credit card information we collect online. Our e-commerce site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator/Communicator, and other popular browsers to protect your online transactions. SSL encrypts your credit card number, name, address, and phone number before they travel over the Internet. We also use additional technologies and measures to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure appropriate use of this information.

The checkout and confirmation areas of our Site are secured using SSL encryption. This ensures that your credit card number and personal information are never sent over the Internet unencrypted. Your credit card information is immediately stored in its encrypted form within the data center. Once it is encrypted, no one except the credit card authorization company can decrypt it. Encryption is provided by THAWTE, a recognized leader in secure e-commerce payment technologies and services.

Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our Site from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Site is structured to attract anyone under 13.

Correcting Information

You can access and maintain all your personally identifiable information that PEO collects online through the "My Account" section of our Site. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information. You can correct factual errors in your personal identifiable information. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
