Your
privacy on ag-technologies.com
This
website is administered by AG Technologies. The primary purpose
of ag-technologies.com
is to be a dynamic resource and business tool to help you create
your future. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site
and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so.
The following provides an overview of how we protect your privacy
during your visit.
What information do we gather?
Information on ag-technologies.com is gathered in two ways: (1)
indirectly (for example, through our site's technology); and (2)
directly (for example, when you provide information on various pages
of ag-technologies.com).
One example of information we collect indirectly is through our
Internet access logs. When you access ag-technologies.com, your
Internet address is automatically collected and is placed in our
Internet access logs.
We
collect information directly from you in a number of ways, some
of which we describe in this Privacy Statement. One way is through
the use of cookies. Cookies are small files of information which
save and retrieve information about your visit to ag-technologies.com-for
example, how you entered our site, how you navigated through the
site, and what information was of interest to you. The cookies we
use identify you merely as a number. (If you are uncomfortable regarding
cookies use, please keep in mind you can disable cookies on your
computer by changing the settings in preferences or options menu
in your browser.)
We also collect information when you voluntarily submit it to us.
Throughout our site, we provide the opportunity to register for
an event or conference, order a white paper, or participate in an
online survey. When we collect this type of information, we will
notify you as to why we are asking for information and how this
information will be used. It is completely up to you whether or
not you want to provide it
How
do we use this information?
We analyze it to determine what is most effective about our site,
to help us identify ways to improve it, and eventually, to determine
how we can tailor ag-technologies.com to make it more effective.
We may also use data for other purposes, which we would describe
to you at the point we collect the information.
Will
we share this with outside parties?
As a global organization, data we collect may be transferred internationally
throughout AG Technologies' worldwide organization. We will not
sell individual information and will share it only with our advisors.
There will be other times when we need to share information, for
example, in the case of an event where we need to provide our caterer
with meal preference information. But again, before you submit any
information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for specific
information and it is completely up to you whether or not you want
to provide it.
What
about sensitive personal data?
We do not generally seek to collect sensitive personal data through
this site. If we do seek to collect such data, we will ask you to
consent to our proposed uses of the data. We may also collect some
sensitive personal data incidentally. By providing us with unsolicited
sensitive personal data, you consent to our using the data subject
to applicable law as described in this Privacy Statement. The references
to "sensitive personal data" are to the various categories of personal
data identified by European and other data privacy laws as requiring
special treatment, including in some circumstances the need to obtain
explicit consent. These categories comprise personal identity numbers,
personal data about personality and private life, racial or ethnic
origin, nationality, political opinions, membership of political
parties or movements, religious, philosophical or other similar
beliefs, membership of a trade union or profession or trade association,
physical or mental health, genetic code, addictions, sexual life,
property matters or criminal record (including information about
suspected criminal activities).
Do
we give you access to your information?
You are entitled to know whether we hold information about you and,
if we do, to have access to that information and require it to be
corrected if it is inaccurate. You can do this by sending us an
e-mail.
What
about data security?
We take appropriate steps to maintain the security of your data
on ag-technologies.com. You should understand that the open nature
of the Internet is such that data may flow over networks without
security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than
those for whom the data is intended.
That's it in a nutshell. The short of it is-we are interested in
maintaining your privacy and creating a valuable resource for you
to use. If you have any questions now or during your visit, please
contact us.
