HOW WE COLLECT IT

Personal Information: This policy covers the following personal information that COMPU-DATA collects through your use of the COMPU-DATA Web sites and in connection with off-line communications. Specifically, COMPU-DATA may collect this information from offline and online registrations, forms and communications and interactions, and sales inquiries and transactions. COMPU-DATA also may use third party sources, such as opt-in lists, as specified in Section 4 below.

  • Contact information, such as name, physical address, telephone number, email address, and company. The majority of the information collected under this category is business contact information.
  • Transactional information, including information about the products and services you request, purchase or download.
  • User preferences, such as product requirements, areas of industry interest, newsletters, community choices and other information you select in the customer profile when registering on www.cdlac.com.
  • Financial/credit card and payment information.
  • Event and conference participation information, such as lectures, classes or booths attended or visited during an event or conference hosted or attended by COMPU-DATA. If we use electronic tracking technologies at an event, we will provide notice in the event registration materials and/or correspondence.

Electronic Communications Protocols and Cookies: In addition to the information specified above, COMPU-DATA may collect information about your use of the cdlac.com Web sites through electronic communications protocols and cookies. As is true when you visit most Web sites, COMPU-DATA may automatically receive personal information from you as part of the communication connection itself, which often consists of network routing information (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), and date and time. COMPU-DATA also uses cookies, embedded URLs and embedded pixels to capture additional information.

Cookies: COMPU-DATA's server will query your computer to see if there are "cookies" previously set by the COMPU-DATA Web sites. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a Web server to store on a Web browser so it can later be read back from that browser. Cookies on the Web sites may collect a unique identifier, user preferences and profile information and membership information. COMPU-DATA also uses cookies to collect general usage and volume statistical information (which does not include personally identifiable information). Some cookies may remain on the user's computer after they leave the Web site, and the majority are set to expire within 30 days. While we do not offer an opt-out for cookies, browsers provide you information and control over cookies. You can set your Web browser to alert you when a cookie is being used, and accept or reject the cookie. You can also set your browser to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers. Users can generally disable the cookie feature on their browser without affecting their ability to use the site, except in some cases where cookies are used as an essential security feature necessary for transaction completion.

Embedded URLs: COMPU-DATA also uses a tracking technique that employs embedded URLs to allow use of the site without cookies. Embedded URLs allow limited information to follow you as you navigate the site, but is not associated with personal information and is not used beyond the session.

Embedded Pixels: On the Web site, COMPU-DATA may use embedded pixel technologies on selected pages for the purposes of identifying unique user visits to the cdlac.com Web sites as opposed to aggregate hits. In addition, these technologies are used in emails to provide information on when the email was opened to track marketing campaign responsiveness.
