Helpful Definitions
Personally identifiable information is information, like your name, birth date, e-mail address or mailing address, that can be used to uniquely identify you.
Anonymous information is not personally identifiable information. Anonymous information is information about how you use our site (such as sites you visit and searches you do). Anonymous information also includes the domain names and/or I.P. addresses (as explained below) of internet browsers that visit our site, the time of day the site was visited, and other non-personal information. Anonymous information is information that is not tied to any person who is not registered as an Manfrotto Distribution member, but helps us know what our users do (for example, the average stay on the Products area lasts over 10 minutes).
Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Registration
You can visit our site and use many of our services without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself to us. It is only when you register to become a Manfrotto Distribution member that will you be asked to provide us with personally identifiable information.
Most of our services do not require any form of customer registration, but we do require registration for some services, like e-mail and warrant registration. When you register with us, you need to complete certain fields (some are required and some are optional), as well as pick a user name and password. We may use this information in several ways:
- to tell you about new features and services available on our site
- to highlight content that closely match your interests
- to share your information with select third parties who work with hk, only if you give us permission (as we explain below)
Contests, Etc.
Sometimes we run contests on our site. We ask people who participate to give us their contact information (like their email address). If you participate in contests, your contact information will be used primarily to reach you in connection with the contests. If you authorize us, we may also give this information to some of our advertisers and sponsors so they can send you offers of their services. If you do not want to be contacted, please let us know when you register for the contest.
Anonymous Information
We collect anonymous information when people use our site, even if they have not registered with Hong Kong. We use this information to personalize your experience on our site, to show you more relevant advertising messages, and to improve our services in general. We share this anonymous information with some other companies, so you can see more relevant advertising messages.
We will not share any anonymous information about the use of our site with third parties if we know that this information will be linked with your personally identifiable information obtained from another source, unless you have given us permission.
These companies analyze anonymous information that we collect during your visit to Manfrotto Distribution and other sites to understand how to improve our website and web marketing efforts.
Cookies
How They Are Used
A "cookie" is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies to help us provide personal services and to allow you to sign-in to our site without having to enter your name and password each time. For example, we can store your zip code in a cookie so we can show you local weather each time you visit our site. Cookies also make web surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're on our site. Cookies may also be used by other companies on co-branded Web pages, as explained below in "third party relationships."
You can also ask to have all information related to your registration removed by sending an email to info@manfrottodistribution.hk.
Special Categories of Information
We will not share with third parties any personally identifiable information about you that is of medical, financial or sexual nature.
Children/Family Filter
We are concerned about protecting the safety of the children who use our site, so we have created the Family Filter. The Family Filter helps ensure that children can search online without seeing inappropriate material. See our Terms of Use for more information.
Our site complies with the terms of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information on users under the age of 13 without parental consent.
Use of IP Addresses
An Internet protocol (I.P.) address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you log on to your internet service provider or through your company's local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). Web servers, the powerful computers that provide web pages for viewing, automatically identify your computer by the IP address assigned to it during your session online.
We may collect I.P. addresses for some purposes (for example, to report anonymous user information to our advertisers and to audit the use of our site). We do not ordinarily link a user's I.P. address to a person's personal information, which means we will have a record of each user's session but the user remains anonymous to us. We will use I.P. addresses to identify users of our site when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our site's Terms of Use or to protect our service, site, or other users.
PLEASE NOTE: Under certain circumstances, I.P. addresses and/or domain names may be linked to personally identifiable information, when said information is stored in databases managed by Internet registrars or registries such as Network Solutions or ARIN.
Third-Party Relationships
We have relationships with many media and services companies throughout the world. You can recognize these sites by the joint branding of Manfrotto Distribution and these companies. For example, if you see a logo in the upper-right corner of the page that says 'Powered by ______', you will know you are on a co-branded Web page. If you ever have any questions about whether certain information, content or services pertain to us, or are "powered by" one of our partners, please contact us at info@manfrottodistribution.hk.
When you give us registration information on certain co-branded Web pages or for services provided in conjunction with third party partners, we want to be clear that some data you give us is shared with these partners. You should make every effort to read the privacy policies of these third parties and decide whether or not to continue using the services based upon the privacy policies posted. We will make every effort to make sure that you have the chance to tell us and/or these companies that you do not want your personal information shared. Please email us at info@manfrottodistribution.hk and we will forward your request to the appropriate company. No third-party sites are covered by our Privacy Policy.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you feel that a site using the Manfrotto Distribution brand and/or logo has not posted an acceptable privacy policy, or is not following the privacy policy it has posted, please send us an email at info@manfrottodistribution.hk. We will forward complaints to the appropriate third parties and help you follow up to ensure that your concerns are adequately handled. Of course, if any of these third party companies does not have a privacy policy that is acceptable to you, you should refrain from providing information until your concerns have been satisfactorily addressed.
Security
We operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our control.
Only certain employees have access to the information you provide us. For example, we impose strict rules on our employees who have access either to the databases that store user information or to the servers that host our services. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
