Introduction
Crayton Electronics is committed to helping you make the most of your time on our family of websites. A large part of helping you do this is by providing you a trusted environment where your privacy is maintained and your personal information is kept secured. The following privacy policy discloses how we collect, protect, use, and share information gathered about you from one of our family of web sites. We hope this disclosure will help increase your confidence in our website, products, and company.
Personal Information
In general, you can visit Crayton Electronics on the Internet without telling us who you are and without giving any personal information about yourself. There are times, however, when we or our partners may need information from you.
You may choose to give us personal information in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us information, such as your name and address or e-mail id, to correspond with you, to process an order, or to provide you with a subscription.
You may give us your credit card details to buy something from us or a description of your education and work experience in connection with a job opening at Crayton Electronics that you wish to be considered for. We intend to let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you; if you tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your wishes. If you give us personal information about somebody else, such as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that you have their permission to do so.
Using and Sharing Personal Info
The following paragraphs describe in more detail how Crayton Electronics may use your personal information and with whom we may share it. Depending on the type of Crayton Electronics Web site you are visiting, one or more of the paragraphs may apply. For example, if you order a product from an Crayton Electronics Web site, your information will be handled as described in such paragraphs as Fulfilling Your Transaction Request and Marketing Use.
Fulfilling Your Transaction Request
If you request something from a Crayton Electronics Web site, for example, a product or service, a callback, or specific marketing materials, we will use the information you provide to fulfill your request. To help us do this, we may share information, with others, for instance, other parts of Crayton Electronics, Crayton Electronics Business Partners, financial institutions, shipping companies, postal or government authorities (for example, Customs authorities) involved in fulfillment. In connection with a transaction we may also contact you as part of our customer satisfaction surveys or for market research purposes.
Marketing Use
The information you provide to Crayton Electronics on certain Crayton Electronics Web sites may also be used by Crayton Electronics and selected third parties for marketing purposes. Before we use it, however, we will offer you the opportunity to choose whether or not to have your information used in this way.
Information Security and Quality
Crayton Electronics intends to make every effort to protect the quality and integrity of your personal information. We implement technical and organizational measures, such as encryption methodologies, to help us maintain your information securely and accurately.
Safe Shopping Guarantee
Crayton Electronics intends to make every effort to protect the integrity of your transaction. In addition to our secure encryption technologies we guarantee that every online transaction you make will be 100% safe. Our secure server software encrypts all of the information that you give, ensuring that your transactions with us stay private and secure. Every purchase you make at Crayton Electronics is backed by our security guarantee - if any unauthorized use of your credit card occurs as a result of your purchases with us, notify your credit card company in accordance with its rules and procedures. If, through no fault of your own, the credit card provider finds credit card fraud but does not completely waive your liability, Crayton Electronics will reimburse you for the remaining liability up to a maximum of US $50.00. This guarantee applies to credit card purchases made using Crayton Electronics’s secure server.
Cookies, Web Beacons, and other Technologies
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our Web sites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on Crayton Electronics Web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This anonymous information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." Crayton Electronics or others on Crayton Electronics’s behalf may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data from you in a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed, at an aggregate level only, to help us understand trends and patterns about our website. This information is not reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner you can disable your cookies.
We collect the information we mentioned in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including one called "cookies". A cookie is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you. Some Crayton Electronics pages use cookies, sent by Crayton Electronics or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the Web site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, our web sites may not work properly.
Some Crayton Electronics Web sites also use Web beacons or other technologies to better tailor those sites to provide better customer service. These technologies may be in use on a number of pages across Crayton Electronics Web sites. When a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our suppliers. These Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you do not want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies.
If you turn off cookies, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.
Online Advertising
Certain companies help us deliver interactive on-line advertising such as banner ads. These companies may collect and use information about customers to help us better understand the offers, promotions, and types of advertising that are most appealing to our customers. After it is collected the information is aggregated so it is not identifiable to a specific individual.
Disclosures Required by Law
Under certain circumstances, it is possible that personal information may be subject to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders.
Privacy Technology
Technology will increasingly help give you more control over your personal information. It will also help organizations to manage their privacy practices and policies. Crayton Electronics supports the development of privacy technologies to help achieve goals that create greater trust and confidence in the way personal information is handled.
Links to Non Crayton Electronics Websites
Crayton Electronics Web sites may contain links to other Web sites. Crayton Electronics is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those other Web sites.

This privacy statement was last updated on January 25, 2004. A notice will be posted on our Web site home page for 30 days whenever this privacy statement is changed in a material way.
