Overview
Privacy is of great concern to most users of the
Internet, and is a critical part of an enjoyable and satisfactory user
experience. We at Modern Display are acutely aware of and sensitive to the
privacy concerns of our subscribers and other visitors to our Web site. Whether
you are a customer of our various products and services, or a visitor to our
site, we assure you that we do not collect personal information from you unless
you explicitly provide it to us. If you are enrolling for a Modern Display
customer account, you may be asked to provide certain personal information.
Please note, however, that we are asking for this information for the limited
purposes of creating your customer account and providing the services that may
be part of your customer account. You should be assured that we do not
provide or sell personal information about our customers or site visitors to
vendors that are not involved in the provision of Modern Display's services.
This Privacy Statement applies to the ModernDisplay.com
site. We strive to provide our visitors and subscribers with the highest level
of privacy possible, and therefore require that our Affiliates offer no less
protection than that offered in this Privacy Statement.
Please note that our site
contains links to other sites. Modern Display is not responsible for the
privacy practices, privacy statements, or content regarding these other sites.

Statement, please contact us at Info@ModernDisplay.com.

Information We Gather from You
We do not collect any personal information from a
visitor to our site unless that visitor explicitly and intentionally provides
it. Under no circumstances do we collect any personal data revealing racial or
ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade
union membership, health, or sex life. If you are simply browsing our site, we
do not gather any personal information about you.
There are two ways in which you may explicitly and
intentionally provide us with and consent to our collection of certain personal
information:
-
E-mail Request for Information or Registrations -
We use links throughout our site to provide you with the opportunity to contact
us via e-mail to ask questions, request information and materials, register or
sign up for product notifications, or provide comments and suggestions. To do
so, we may request additional personal information from you, such as your name
and telephone number, to help us satisfy your request.
-
Enrollment - If you choose to enroll
for one of our products or services, we will request certain information from
you. Depending on the type of product or service that you request, you may be
asked to provide different personal information. For certain products and services,
we may require your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit
card number, and/or IP address.
Statistical Information About Your Visit
When you visit our site, our computers may automatically
collect statistics about your visit. This information does not identify you
personally, but rather identifies information about a visit to our site. We may
monitor statistics such as how many people visit our site, the user's IP
address, which pages people visit, from which domains our visitors come and
which browsers people use. We use these statistics about your visit for
aggregation purposes only. These statistics are used to help us improve the
performance of our Web site.
Use of Cookies
We only use "cookies" as described in this
Section. A "cookie" is a piece of information that our Web site sends
to your browser, which then stores this information on your system. If a cookie
is used, our Web site will be able to "remember" information about
you and your preferences until you exit your current browser. Many users prefer
to use cookies in order to help them navigate a Web site as seamlessly as
possible. You should be aware that cookies contain no more information than you
volunteer, and they are not able to "invade" your hard drive and return
to the sender personal or other information from your computer.
Our use of "cookies" is limited to the
following situation. There are two instances in which we use temporary cookies.
First, if you are accessing our services through one of our online applications
(such as through our enterprise ExpoNet services) our Web server may
automatically send your browser a temporary cookie, which is used to help your
browser navigate our site. The only information contained in these temporary
cookies is a direction value that lets our software determine which page to
show when you hit the back button in your browser. This bit of information is
erased when you close your current browser window. Second, if you are using
Modern Display's online retail shopping services, we set a temporary session
cookie to establish that you have been authenticated and to maintain your
shopping cart integrity. The information contained in these cookies consists of
random data that is used by the server to authenticate the browser requests to the
server for that particular session. It does not include any type of personally
identifiable information. This bit of information is erased when you close your
current browser window. If you choose not to accept a temporary cookie, you
will not be able to navigate in these online applications or use the online
retail shopping services.
To find more information about cookies, if you are using
Microsoft Internet Explorer® as your browser, go to the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/info/cookies.htm?RLD=291
or if you are using Netscape Navigator® as your browser, go to the Netscape Web

How We Use and Share the Personal Information We Gather
We assure you that the personal information we gather
from you is used by us only as explained below.
Sending you responses and updates
We generally respond to any e-mail questions, requests
for product or service information, and other inquiries that we receive. We may
also retain this correspondence to improve our products, services, and Web
site. Frequently we retain contact information so that we can send individuals
updates or other important information about our services and products. Our
subsidiary companies may also send you information about their services and
products. In situations where you have supplied your information in connection
with a question or request for information about a product or service offered
by a Modern Display business partner, we may also send the information you have
supplied to the Modern Display business partners that offer such products or
services. Please be assured that these Modern Display business partners have
agreed to ensure the privacy and security of any transferred information and
may only use the shared information to send you information about products or
services about which you asked.
Processing payments
If you use the Modern Display payment gateway for online
transactions, we may provide your personal information to appropriate financial
institutions, processors, and third parties under contract with Modern Display
for providing a subset of the payment services (for example, credit
authorization and fraud screening). For financial institutions and processors,
the use of personally identifiable consumer information is governed by federal
and state privacy laws. For other third parties under contract with Modern
Display, the use and distribution of your personal information will be used by
such entity for its internal use related to fulfilling the transaction services
for Modern Display, will be treated as confidential by this entity, and will be
transferred between Modern Display and this entity only via encrypted means. We
may also permit the merchant through which you placed your order to review the
personal information you provide. The merchant's use of your personal
information should be governed by your agreement with the merchant.
Disclosure by Law and Protection of Modern Display and
Others
If we are required by law to disclose certain
information to local, state, federal, national or international government or
law enforcement authorities, we will do so. We will also disclose information
to third parties as necessary in order to comply with applicable laws and
regulations. In addition, Modern Display may share information in order to
investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or suspected
fraud, or to enforce or apply Modern Display's agreements.
Surveys
From time-to-time we may request information from
customers via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Survey information will be used for purposes of improving the use
of and satisfaction with this Web site, and improving our customer service and
product offerings.
Your Ability to Opt-Out of Further Notifications
From time-to-time, we notify our subscribers of new
products, announcements, upgrades and updates. If you would like to opt-out of being
notified, please contact us at the address given at the end of this Privacy
Statement.

We consider the protection of all personal information
we receive from our Web site visitors and subscribers as critical to our
corporate mission. Please be assured that we have security measures in place to
protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of any personal information we
receive from you. As with any transmission over the Internet, however, there is
always some element of risk involved in sending personal information. In order
to try to minimize this risk, we encrypt all information that you submit in
ordering one of our products or services using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocol.
