Privacy Statement

Our Privacy Commitment

At CBiT Security Solutions we know how important it is to protect your personal information. Whether you are shopping with us or sending us feedback we want to make every customer experience safe and secure. In keeping with that goal, we have developed this Privacy Policy to outline our guidelines for the collection and use of personal information by CBiT Security Solutions.

What Information does CBiT Security Solutions collect and how is it Used?
At CBiT Security Solutions, we collect two types of information: personal information and non-personal information.
With your consent we may use your personal information for a number of different purposes, for example to:
fulfill requests for products, services or information;
provide customer services;
administer contests or promotions;
offer new products and services;
measure and improve the effectiveness of our Web Sites or our marketing endeavors; and
tailor our online or in-store offerings to your preferences.

We may also collect and summarize customer information in a format that no longer identifies the individual for statistical purposes.
Personal information typically includes your name, address, phone number and e-mail address. You can always choose not to provide us with any of your personal information. However, if you make this choice we may not be able to provide you with the product, service or information that you requested. For example, we can only offer you our “No Payments, No Interest for 60 days” if you have provided us with certain financial information.
Non-personal information does not identify you as an individual. For example, we may ask you for your postal code to assist us with planning our advertising distribution.

Your Implied Consent
In some cases, your consent is implied if we ask you to provide personal information with a stated purpose. For example, we can only deliver the product you have purchased if you provide us with your address and phone number.

Your Express Consent
In other cases, we will ask you to give your express consent to use your personal information to advise you of products or services that may be of interest. You always have the opportunity to decline having your information used for this purpose. For example, when you subscribe to the CBiT Security Solutions newsletter, we will also ask for your express consent to send you promotional information.

Withdrawing Your Consent
If you have accepted or subscribed to one of our newsletters or mailing lists, we will always provide you the opportunity to remove or unsubscribe. For example, each e-mail we send you will tell you how to decline further e-mail.
