V-TEK is committed to ensuring the privacy of our customers. This privacy policy explains our privacy practices for our customers who visit our web site at www.v-tec.cn and www.v-tec.com.cn. By using our web site, you consent to the terms of this privacy policy. You may read about the details of our privacy policy below.
What is Personal Information?
Personal information is information that specifically identifies an individual such as a customer's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other account number, and information about that individual's activities when directly linked to that person such as information about his or her purchases. Personal information also includes demographic information such as date of birth, gender, geographic area and preferences when such information is linked to other personal information that identifies you.
Personal information does not include "aggregate" information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of products, services or customers, from which individual customer identities have been removed. In other words, information about how you use a service may be collected and combined with information about how others use the same service, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. Likewise, information about the products you purchase may be collected and combined with information about the products purchased by others. Aggregate data helps us understand trends and customer needs so that we can better consider new products and services, and tailor existing products and services to customer desires.
Personal Information We Collect
You provide personal information in a number of ways when you visit our web site. And, some information is also automatically collected, such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, your computer's operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring web site, and the time and date of your visit and purchases. This information may be collected through the use of "cookies" or other devices (See Online Specifics below). We treat this information as personal information if we combine it with or link it to any of the identifying information mentioned above. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate only.
How We Use Personal Information
In general, we use personal information to process your requests or transactions and provide you with high-quality service or to inform you about other products or services we think will be of interest. When we use personal information in our marketing efforts, we provide you with choices (See Choice below) and do not disclose the information to third parties except as described in this privacy policy. Personal information provided online may be linked together or merged with other personal information so that we may better understand your needs and inform you about our products or services and those of our partners. In addition, if we receive information from third parties with whom we have business relationships, we may combine this information with the other personal information we maintain about you. In either case, this privacy policy governs this information.
Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell, rent or share personal information with third parties without your prior consent except in the limited circumstances described in this privacy policy. We may share personal information with third-party vendors who assist us in performing internal functions necessary to operate our business. These functions may include sending promotional e-mails on our behalf, serving advertisements on our behalf, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and fulfilling and delivering orders. In all cases we limit the information shared with our third-party vendors to that which is necessary to carry out those functions. Moreover, we require them to comply with our privacy practices, keep the information confidential and not to use it for other purposes except as required by law. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to these parties, and we encourage you to become familiar with their practices before disclosing information directly to them.
In addition, we may disclose personal information in the good faith belief that we are lawfully authorized to do so, or that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process or authorities, or to protect the rights, property or personal safety of our customers, our employees or the public.

Policy Changes

If our privacy practices change we will post the policy changes to our web site and notify you by indicating the date the privacy policy was last updated. We will also provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses. We encourage you to check back at our web site periodically if you are concerned about how your information is used.
