Our use of cookies and web
beacons
Cookies are small files that websites save to your hard disk or to your
browser's memory. We may use them to track the number of times you have

Except as described below, personal information you provide to Devisinc
Automation through our websites will not be shared outside of Devisinc
Automation and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your

Disclosure to service providers. Devisinc Automation
contracts with other companies to provide services on our behalf, such as

analyzing our websites. We provide these companies with only those elements
of your personal information they need to deliver those services. These
companies and their employees are prohibited from using that personal

Disclosure to distributors. In responding to a request made
by you, we may share your personal information with companies that
distribute our products. In those cases, we provide these companies with
only those elements of your personal information they need to respond to
your request, and these companies and their employees are prohibited from
using that personal information for any other purpose. In some cases, we
may seek your permission to share your information with distributors for

Circumstances may arise where for strategic or other business reasons
Devisinc Automation decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize
businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure
of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving
it from sellers. It is Devisinc Automation 's practice to seek appropriate
protection for information in these types of transactions.
Disclosure for other reasons. We may disclose personal
information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that
such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or with legal
process served on us, to protect and defend our rights or property, or in
urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of any individual.

you provide on computer systems with limited access that are located in
facilities to which access is limited. For sites to which you login, it is
your responsibility to ensure the security of your password and not to
reveal this information to others. When you move around a site to which you
have logged in, or from one site to another that uses the same login
mechanism, we verify your identity by means of an encrypted cookie placed
on your machine.

steps to verify your identity before providing you access to your personal
information. You can help us to maintain the accuracy of your information
by notifying us of any change to your mailing address, phone number, or

take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy is protected. By using
our websites and giving your information to us, you consent to the transfer
of the data outside of your country.

Automation distributors and sales affiliates, professional and government
organizations, and publications. We also link to third-party providers that
host, maintain and operate on-line training curricula. While we try to link
only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are
not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices employed by
other sites.
