About ICTMicros » Privacy Policy

ICTMicros provides the following details about our privacy practices for consumers that apply for or purchase our products and services ("you").

1. Introduction

At ICTMicros, we recognize that consumers are concerned about the confidentiality and privacy of their personal information. We would like you to understand why we ask for your personal information, what personal information we collect, how we keep your personal information confidential and safe, how you can inquire about the personal information we hold about you, and what personal information we disclose and how you can limit certain disclosures. We urge you to read our Privacy Policy carefully.

2. Why We Ask You For Your Personal Information

We ask you for your personal information for the following purposes:

• to facilitate the provision of the products and services you request from us including verification of your identity;
• to provide you with information and offers on our products and services, that we believe may be of interest to you, and in certain circumstances to allow ICTMicros group companies (that is, ICTMicros subsidiaries and affiliates) to provide you with information about their own products or services; and
• to comply with the law.

3. Information We Collect and How We Use It

If you choose to order products or services from us, via telephone, mail, in person at one of our retail outlets, or from our Website, you will have to provide us with certain information, including personal information such as: your name, mailing and/or e-mail address, credit or debit card information, Driver's License or passport and/or other photographic identification. We may also obtain information about your transactions with us and/or our group companies and other information for payment purposes or to comply with legal requirements.

Federal law requires us to obtain, verify and record information in order to confirm your identity. This information will include your name, address, date of birth and any other information required in order to complete the verification process. The information provided by you and the results of the verification process will be retained by ICTMicros and our third party fraud checking agent for audit and fraud prevention purposes.

We limit the personal information we collect to only that which is required to execute a transaction, provide you with information about our products and services, and to meet the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

4. Disclosure of and Control Over Personal Information

We will only disclose personal information to other ICTMicros group companies or third parties for everyday business purposes, such as to process your transactions, maintain your account(s), perform information technology functions, respond to court orders and legal investigations, report to credit bureaus, or to offer our products and services to you. Please note that these disclosures are not subject to an opt out choice, as such disclosures are necessary to run our everyday business.

5. Protection of Personal Information

We maintain physical, organizational and electronic security measures to protect your personal information. These include the use of secure locks on doors, restricted access to our information processing and storage areas, limited access to relevant information by authorized employees and independent contractors only ("Employees"), and through the use of passwords and pass keys.

We instruct our Employees with access to your information that it is to be used only in adherence with the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy and the laws applicable to each specific business. As a condition of employment, our Employees are required to sign a confidentiality agreement binding them to this responsibility, which remains with them even if they leave or retire from ICTMicros. We hold all Employees fully accountable for adhering to this Privacy Policy and the law.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to the Website. However, your order is placed over a secure connection and your personal information is encrypted to ensure your data remains as safe as possible.

6. Accessing Your Personal Information

If you want to review or verify your personal information, find out to whom we have disclosed it, as permitted by this Privacy Policy, or if you are unsure whether we have a record containing your personal information and would like to confirm whether or not we do, you can contact us, as per the contact information in below, and we will respond to your request as soon as possible. At that time, we will need specific information from you to enable us to search for, and provide you with, the personal information we hold about you.

There may be instances where we will not be able to provide the personal information we hold about you that you request. Some of these instances include if it:

• contains references to other persons;
• is subject to attorney-client or litigation privilege;
• contains our own proprietary information that is confidential to us;
• has already been destroyed due to legal requirements or because we no longer need it for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy;
• is too costly, in our determination, to retrieve; or
• cannot be disclosed for legal reasons.
• If we are unable to provide you with access to your personal information, we will always explain the reason why, if possible.

7. Keeping Your Personal Information Accurate

We take reasonable steps to maintain the accuracy of your personal information for as long as it is being used for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, and you play an active role in keeping us up-to-date. Prompt notification of any changes, for example to your mailing address or telephone number, will help us provide you with the best possible service. Should you discover, upon review of your personal information, that amendments are required, please advise us. We will use our best efforts to advise others of any important amendments to your personal information which we may have released to them.

8. Retention

We only keep your personal information for as long as and to the extent that we need it to meet the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. The length of time we retain your personal information is also affected by: (1) the type of product or service you have with us; and (2) any legal requirements we may have to meet.

9. Unsolicited Direct Marketing

Your personal information will not be provided to any other member of the ICTMicros group of companies or third parties for their own direct marketing purposes unless you have expressly consented to such activities. If you do not wish to receive marketing materials from us you may opt out of such activities by contacting us at the e-mail address or telephone number provided in below, or by clicking the unsubscribe option in any e-mail marketing communications we send you. Consumers acknowledge that they may be contacted by mail, telephone or e-mail for customer service and/or billing purposes. We do not sell lists of consumers of our products and services to unaffiliated third parties for their use, except where necessary in connection with the sale or acquisition of some or all of the business.
