Non-personal/anonymous information collection
In some instances, Cygnet may collect non-personal (aggregate or
demographic) data through cookies, web logs etc. This information
is used to better understand and improve the usability,
performance, and effectiveness of the website. Please read the
"Cookies" section below for more information.
Sharing your Personal Information
We do not sell or rent your Personal Information to third
parties for marketing purposes unless you have granted us
permission to do so.
We may share your Personal Information within Cygnet or any of
its subsidiaries for purposes of data processing or storage.
We may also share your Personal Information with business
partners, service vendors, authorized third-party agents or
contractors in order to provide a requested service or transaction,
including processing orders, processing credit card transactions,
hosting websites, hosting event and seminar registration and
providing customer support. We only provide these third parties
with the minimum amount of Personal Information necessary to
complete the requested service or transaction, and the third
parties are not permitted to use your Personal Information except
for limited purpose of completing the requested service or
transaction.
We may respond to court orders or legal process by disclosing
your Personal Information and other related information, if
necessary. We also may choose to establish or exercise our legal
rights or defend against legal claims.
We may collect and possibly share Personal Information and any
other additional information available to us in order to
investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities,
suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the
physical safety of any person, violations of Cygnet's terms of use
or as otherwise required by law.
While navigating Cygnet's website you may be directed to content
or functionality that is hosted by a third-party supplier. This is
typically done to host special events, such as contests. When
information is collected on behalf of Cygnet exclusively, Cygnet's
privacy policy will be referenced on the site and will govern how
your information is used. For sites other than Cygnet the site
owner's privacy policy will be referenced. It is Cygnet's practice
to require such suppliers to handle information in a manner
consistent with Cygnet's privacy & security policy.
Security of your Personal Information
Cygnet is committed to protecting personal information you share
with us. We utilize a combination of industry-standard security
technologies, procedures, and organizational measures to help
protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure.
When we transfer sensitive personal data (for example, credit
card information) over the Internet, we protect it using Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.
While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot
ensure the security of the information you transmit.
We recommend you to take every precaution in protecting your
Personal Information when you are on the Internet. For example,
change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and
numbers when creating passwords, and make sure you use a secure
browser. Please visit the Linksys website for more tips for using
security features when connected to the Internet using a
router.
Cookies
Like many websites, Cygnet uses technologies such as cookies,
which allow us to make your visit to our website easier, more
efficient and more valuable by providing you with customized
experience and recognizing you when you return.
A cookie cannot read personal data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites; indeed, the only Personal
Information a cookie can contain is information you supply
yourself. Accepting the cookies used on our website may give us
access to information about your browsing behavior, which we may
use to personalize your experience and track user traffic patterns,
and to merge this info when you register. We do this in order to
determine the usefulness of our website information to our users
and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping
users reach that information. You may browse most of Cygnet's
website without accepting cookies from Cygnet; however, some
website functionality may be lost by disabling cookies on your
computer. Other Cygnet web pages, particularly those which require
a login and password, require cookies and cannot be used when you
have disabled cookies in your browser.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website
or via HTML-formatted emails, you can set your browser to warn you
before it accepts cookies or refuse the cookie when your browser
alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by
turning them off in your browser.
Data Retention
Cygnet will not retain your Personal Information longer than
necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it has been collected
or as required by applicable law or regulation.
Linked Websites
Our websites may provide links to other third-party websites
which are outside our control and not covered by this policy. We
encourage you to review the privacy policies of these (and all)
sites you visit.
Transfer of Personal Information
We may transfer your personal information to any of the Cygnet
subsidiary worldwide or to the third parties acting on our behalf
for the purposes of processing or storage.
