We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. We have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Cookies
To enhance your experience with our sites, some of our web pages download small files known as cookies to your computer that store your preferences. Cookies can allow web applications to respond to you as an individual and can help eliminate repetitive tasks such as re-entering personal data. The web applications can tailor their operations to your needs by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better, more efficient and functional website. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over the other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide while visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Online Sales Transactions
Due to the potential for misuse of credit card data for unauthorized purposes, CTC handles data differently for online sales of our product than for other interactions you have with our site.

• All credit card transactions are conducted using secure (SSL) technology. All personal information is encrypted during its transfer to our site.
• CTC has no personal knowledge of, physical possession of, or access to your full credit card number at any time during or after online sales transactions. All credit card numbers are held in a separate location from other data about the customer order. Credit card numbers are used solely to process financial transactions you have requested. CTC may hold the last four digits of your credit card in its databases, which are maintained in accordance with PCI (Payment Card Industry) standards for data security. This data may be used in non-secure communications such as email to provide you with confirmation of the credit card used for the transaction.
• When you place an online order with us, your credit card number will be sent directly to a third party, known as an online merchant account, who will coordinate validation of your card with other parties, such as your card's issuing bank. Validation includes but is not limited to name/address verification, fraud checks, and ensuring that there are sufficient funds in the account to cover the purchase.
• CTC never uses or transfers information obtained about your credit card or financial status to any third parties except:
• in the course of established business procedures that pertain to processing sales transactions
• when CTC is required to do so by law. In this case, when it is legitimate and practical to do so, Control Technology will notify you before it discloses information to third parties.
• Information about your order may be used at a later time to provide customer or sales support to you.

This policy applies to online sales as and when they become available on CTC's site.
