SGI's Privacy Policy And You
The Internet contains a wealth of information; unfortunately, it may also contain personal details about you that you don't want everyone to know, such as your real name (lots of people on the Internet use aliases, alter egos, or nicknames), street address, phone number, or email address. When you go online, websites you visit may be gathering information about you without your knowledge.
At SGI, we strive to help our customers protect their privacy while using our services. The following information is designed to give you additional information about your privacy rights and the use of information you provide to the ACCU-CHEK product fulfillment center.
Use of Personal Information
SGI, a fulfillment and data management firm, receives, stores, maintains, and analyzes the data obtained from you on behalf of the ACCU-CHEK product fulfillment center. Thus, all information provided by you and obtained from your computer is passed directly to SGI. SGI agrees to abide by the terms of this Privacy Policy as it pertains to the use of your information.
Personal information provided to SGI is not shared outside our company. You can use our website with the assurance that we will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent. We may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) SGI's rights or property, other SGI clients, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. SGI may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
The ACCU-CHEK product fulfillment center will ask you for personal information, such as your name and address. We collect this information for fulfilling requests, as well as complying with federal, state, and local laws, and/or for feedback solicitation purposes.
In case you change your mind or some personal information changes, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update, or remove the personal data you give us. You can do this by contacting us.
Children's Privacy Policy
The ACCU-CHEK product fulfillment center takes special care to protect children under age 13. If you are under age 13 and want to use sections of this site where personal information is requested, we must receive your parent's permission via email, (roche@sgi-net.com). If a child under 13 years of age wants to use the ACCU-CHEK product fulfillment center, we encourage parental guidance. Parents have the right to review their child's information and request deletion or changes at any time.
Use of IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the web. Web servers--the big computers that "serve up" web pages--automatically identify your computer by its IP address.
SGI collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to audit the use of our site. When guests request pages from SGI, our servers log the guests' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers, or others.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make web surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at our site. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard--you'll find them at most major web sites.
By showing how and when guests use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our users' needs. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of the SGI site will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies.
Links to Other Websites
Users should be aware that when they are on the SGI website, they could be directed to other websites that are beyond our control. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online--for example, via message boards or chat--that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While we strive to protect our users' personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk.
SGI's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond SGI's control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.
Security
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, SGI can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Your Acceptance Of These Terms
By using this site, you signify your consent to the SGI Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our website. Your continued use of the SGI website following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
