Protecting your privacy is important to Industrial News. We strive to keep your personal information confidential. By ensuring that you are aware of and understand the Industrial News Customer Privacy Policy, we can provide you with better service. Please take a moment to read the following policy to learn how we handle your personal information.
Collection of Personal Information
In order to give you superior customer service, Industrial News collects your personal information in several ways. For example, Industrial News may ask you to provide certain information such as your first and last name, mailing address (including postal code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal information. When ordering products or services on the Site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
When you use the Site, Industrial News or third parties authorized by Industrial News may also collect certain technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of the Site and its services. Industrial News also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site. Without expressly informing you in each particular circumstance, we do not match such information with any of your personal information, except in cases of abusive use and/or not respecting our Terms of Use.
In order to reduce the number of errors in our database, authenticate our users and prevent abuse of our system we may occasionally supplement the personal information you submit to us with information from third party sources. For example, we may supplement your registration information with address information provided by the Postal Service to qualify your information and prevent errors in our database.
How Your Personal Information is Used
Industrial News respects your personal and professionnal information, as well as that of your company. We believe it is important to protect your private information and we take all possible measures to respect the confidentiality of the information you provided to us.

How We Protect your Personal Information
