ShiviTextiles Web Site Privacy Policy
Welcome to ShiviTextiles�s Web Site Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy
applies to Atom Enterprises and its subsidiaries and affiliates
(�Atom group�). The content of this Privacy Policy may vary from
country to country, to address applicable local legal requirements.
If you are seeking local contact information, including the postal
address for your local office, this information can be obtained by
clicking on the contact link and
selecting your country. You can always reach us via e-mail by
submitting a message through Feedback,
located as a link at the bottom of all pages of our site.
This Privacy Policy outlines Atom Enterprises� practices regarding
the collection and use of individually identifiable information
about you (�Personal Data�) collected and applies to all of the
services offered through the ShiviTextiles web site (the �Site�). This
Privacy Policy also represents our information statement as may be
required by certain applicable local laws.
This Privacy
Policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or
individuals, sites that may advertise or include Atom Enterprises�
services, or other sites linked from our services.
Your
privacy is very important to us and we take reasonable steps to
ensure that the Personal Data we gather from your use of our Site
is kept secure and private, and is processed in accordance with
applicable laws.
If and when our Privacy Policy changes in
any material or substantive way (such as any new uses of your
Personal Data), the changes will be posted at this location, that
is, the Privacy Policy link available on every page of the Site and
you have, as a new visitor or a former registrant, the opportunity
to consent to or opt-out of these changes, either by clicking on My Account under Lab Admin to verify your User
Profile on ShiviTextiles and make the desired changes, or submit an e-mail
through Feedback, or writing or emailing
your local office. If you are concerned about how your information
is used, please periodically review this Privacy Policy.
1. We May Collect Personal Data When You Browse the Site
You may access the vast majority of the information on our Site
without having to fill out an online collection form.
We may
use �cookies� to store your preferences, to alert
you to new areas that we think might be of interest to you, and to
record past activity at the Site in order to provide better service
to you when you return to our Site. Cookies are small data files
that our servers place on your computer�s hard drive via your
internet browser. Cookies will collect and process your IP address
and domain name. Information provided by cookies can be read or
modified afterwards only by Atom Enterprises during your subsequent
visits on our Site. You may disable cookies or refuse cookies
altogether by setting your browser accordingly. You may also
configure your browser to notify you when it is about to place a
cookie on your machine and you can then decide if you want to
accept the cookie or not. The exact procedure will vary from
browser to browser. The Help portion of the toolbar on most
browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting
cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new
cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, if you
choose not to accept cookies, you may have a less satisfactory
experience. For example, if you select your country in order to see
country-specific content, a country cookie is placed on your
machine. This simply means that when you visit the Site the next
time, the cookie recognizes your country so that you do not need to
select it again. If you disable cookies, you will need to select
your country the next time you visit the Site. Atom Enterprises
generally stores cookies for one year after your last visit to the
Site.
2. We Collect Personal Data When You Complete Online Forms
There are areas of the Site that require you to register or complete forms so that we can provide you with services or items you request, for instance on-line purchasing, on-line quote requests, event/seminar registrations, and software downloads. Information that you provide on these on-line forms may include your name, address, phone, fax, e-mail address and your interests in certain Atom products, product lines or services. If you avail yourself of the benefits of full registration in countries where we offer eCommerce, you will also need to provide payment information and a valid Atom account number. We do not collect any sensitive data such as health-related information. Our collection of Personal Data when you complete any online registration or other personal data collection form at this Site is subject to this Privacy Policy.
3. How We Use Personal Data You Provide

4. Categories of Recipients to Which Your Personal Data May Be Transmitted
Your Personal Data is held in confidence and never provided to any
organization outside of the Atom group except as noted in this
Privacy Policy.
We may provide Personal Data to third
parties in connection with fulfilling or processing your specific
requests. For example, if you purchase products on-line using a
credit card, we will contact that credit card company or its third
party service provider to process the order, and we will use a
third party shipping company to ship your order or other requested
items such as our print catalogue or literature. To enhance
security, your credit card number is encrypted as it is transmitted
over the Internet.
We do not provide Personal Data that
you supply to us to third parties for their own marketing
purposes.
We may provide Personal Data on a reasonable
need to know basis to third-parties, who are bound by nondisclosure
obligations, assisting us with the maintenance, protection or
operation of our Site and in connection with Web Site, market or
business analysis conducted on our behalf for our use only. We may
also provide Personal Data to third-parties, who are bound by
nondisclosure obligations, assisting us with marketing functions
and data management, on our behalf. Any changes in these categories
of recipients will be made only after the notification process set
forth in the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
We may share
Personal Data with law enforcement or other entities as required by
law or as we reasonably determine necessary to prevent harm to
persons or property. Personal Data may also be disclosed to third
parties, who are bound by nondisclosure obligations, in connection
with a Atom merger, acquisition or a sale.
We may monitor
internally, or using third party tools, how a user accesses or
navigates the Site by tracking IP addresses or other �click stream
data�. In order to improve this Site and our service to you. This
enables us to evaluate Site traffic and navigation data so that we
can, for instance, see which pages of our Site are visited
frequently, and which are not.
We may also use or provide
non-identifiable data to third parties in order to perform market
or business analysis, on our behalf and for our internal use. This
ultimately helps us to improve our services to you. If you choose
to register at our site, you must provide your consent to the terms
of this Privacy Policy, and therefore, to Atom�s disclosure of your
Personal Data to the third parties, for the purposes, described in
this Privacy Policy. Atom uses and discloses information only in
connection with legitimate business purposes, and therefore, if you
do not consent, you will not be able to register at our Site.
5. Transfer to Recipients Outside of Your Home Country
Some of our subsidiaries, affiliates, agents or recipients outlined above are located or operate outside of your home country, and therefore, we may need to transfer your Personal Data outside of your home country in order to enable your registration and/or to respond to certain of your requests. The data protection laws in these countries may not provide an equivalent level of protection to those in your home country, but the recipients will abide by this Privacy Policy, as well as any other applicable laws. If you choose to register at our site, you must provide your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy, including this paragraph. Please note that if you do not consent, you will not be able to register at our Site.
