Privacy Policy

First Tek, Inc (“First Tek“) operates https://www.first-tek.com/ and may operate other websites. It is First Tek’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, First Tek collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. First Tek’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how First Tek’s visitors use its website. From time to time, First Tek may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

First Tek also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://www.first-tek.com/ blogs/sites. First Tek only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to First Tek’s websites choose to interact with First Tek in ways that require First Tek to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that First Tek gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at https://www.first-tek.com/ to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with First Tek are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, First Tek collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with First Tek. First Tek does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

First Tek may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. First Tek may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, First Tek does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

First Tek discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that

(i) need to know that information in order to process it on First Tek’s behalf or to provide services available at First Tek’s websites, and

(ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using First Tek’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. First Tek will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, First Tek discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when First Tek believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of First Tek, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an First Tek website and have supplied your email address, First Tek may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with First Tek and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. First Tek takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. First Tek uses cookies to help First Tek identify and track visitors, their usage of First Tek website, and their website access preferences. First Tek visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using First Tek’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of First Tek’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If First Tek, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that First Tek goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of First Tek may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, First Tek may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in First Tek’s sole discretion. First Tek encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a https://www.first-tek.com/ account, you might also receive an alert informing you of these changes.
