Privacy
Statement
XLink Technology Incorporated
(XLink) and its subsidiaries are committed to respecting and protecting your
privacy. We've structured our web sites so that, in general, you can visit
XLink on the web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information.
Once you choose to provide us personally identifiable information (any information
by which you can be identified), you can be assured that it will only be used
to support your customer relations with XLink. This statement regarding the
privacy of the personally identifiable information you provide online covers
the five foundation principles of fair information: Awareness, Choice, Accuracy
& Access, Security, and Oversight.
Awareness
XLink provides this Online
Privacy Statement to make you aware of our privacy policy, practices and of
the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.
To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and
from the bottom of every XLink.com, its subsidiaries' and affiliates' web
pages.
What
we collect
On some XLink web sites,
you can order products or services, make requests, and register to download
materials. The types of personal information collected at these pages are
name, contact and billing information, transaction, and credit card information,
In order to tailor our subsequent communication to you and continuously improve
our products and services (including registration), we may also ask you to
provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests,
demographics, experience with our products, and more detailed contact preferences.
Some electronic newsletters record anonymous data about articles you have
expressed interested in.
How
we use it
XLink uses your information
to better understand your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically,
we use your information to help you complete a transaction, to communicate
back to you, and to update you on service and benefits. Credit card numbers
are used only for payment processing, fraud protection, and are not retained
for other purposes. From time to time, we may also use your information to
contact you for market research or to provide you with pertinent marketing
information we think would be of particular interest. At a minimum, we will
always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such direct marketing
or market research contact. We will also follow local requirements, such as
allowing you to opt in before receiving unsolicited contact, where applicable.
Who
we share it with
XLink will not sell, rent,
or lease your personally identifiable information to others. Unless we have
your permission or are required by law, we will only share the personal data
you provide online with other XLink entities and/or business partners who
are acting on our behalf for the uses described in "how we use it". Such XLink
entities and/or business partners, including those in the United States and/or
any other countries, are governed by our privacy policies with respect to
the use of this data and are bound by the appropriate confidentiality agreements.
Data collected online may also be combined with information you provide when
you register your ownership of XLink software.
Choice
XLink will not use or
share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways
unrelated to the ones described above without first letting you know and offering
you a choice. As previously stated, we will also provide you the opportunity
to let us know if you do not wish to receive unsolicited direct marketing
materials from us and we will do everything we can to honor such requests.
Local country laws and policies are applied where they differ from those in
the U.S. Your permission is always secured first, should we ever share your
information with third parties that are not acting on our behalf and governed
by our privacy policy. For example, as part of XLink's commitment to offering
you a choice, we enable you to make online purchases directly from us or through
our resellers. When you choose our resellers, we inform you that your registration
and shopping data is being transferred to the reseller you selected. This
notice is important because when you choose to make online purchases through
our resellers, use of your registration and shopping data by the resellers
is then governed by their privacy policy. Local country laws and policies
are applied where they differ from those in the U.S.

your personally identifiable information accurate. We will provide you with
access to your information, including making every effort to provide you with
the opportunity to access your information data via telephone, faxes or letters,

privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity
before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections. To access
