5. Who we share your information with
Talkpkg.com will not sell, rent or lease
your personal information to others. Talkpkg.com will not share your
personal information with third parties except by your request. Your
permission will be requested when you submit your information.
Talkpkg.com contracts with third-party service providers to deliver web
content. Suppliers and service providers are required to keep
confidential the information received on behalf of Talkpkg.com and may
not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are
performing for Talkpkg.com. These service providers may change or we may
contract with additional service providers to better accommodate our
customers.
Talkpkg.com will not share personal information with any other third
parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly
authorized information requests of governmental authorities; (ii) comply
with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order, (iii) help prevent
fraud or to enforce or protect the rights and properties of Talkpkg.com
or its subsidiaries; or (iv) to protect the personal safety of
Talkpkg.com employees and third parties on Talkpkg.com property.
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business
reasons, Talkpkg.com decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize
businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the
disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers,
or receiving it from sellers. It is Talkpkg.com’s practice to seek
appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
6. Your choices
Talkpkg.com gives you the choice of
receiving a variety of information that complements our products and
services. You can subscribe to receive certain product- and
service-specific information and Talkpkg.com communications. Talkpkg.com
communications may include new product information, special offers, or
an invitation to participate in market research. We give you a choice
regarding delivery of Talkpkg.com communications by postal mail, e-mail
and telephone. You can make or change your choices at the data
collection point or through Talkpkg.com. Please refer to section 7 for
further instructions. We will make every effort to honor your
preferences. This option does not apply to communications for the
purpose of administering order completion, contracts, support, product
safety warnings or driver updates.

information for a different purpose than the one stated when you
provided your data. Examples of unrelated uses include sending

8. Your information and
third-party companies
Certain Talkpkg.com services are linked with
those from unrelated third-party companies, some which offer you the
option to share with both Talkpkg.com and the third party personal data
you provide. Examples include the ability to register software products
from multiple vendors from a single Talkpkg.com Web page, to request
communications from Talkpkg.com marketing or solution partners, or to
enable order completion through a reseller. We will not share your
personal information with those third-party companies unless you make
that choice.

of your information
Talkpkg.com strives to keep your personal
information accurate. We have implemented technology, management
processes and policies to maintain customer data accuracy. We will
provide you with access to your information, including making reasonable
effort to provide you with online access and the opportunity to change

take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as a password and

Talkpkg.com's websites may limit access to specific individuals through
the use of passwords and other personal identifiers.
10. Keeping your information secure

To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy,
and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, Talkpkg.com,
through its third party provider, has in place appropriate physical and

1A URL (Uniform Resource
Locator) is the global address of documents and other resources on the
World Wide Web. For example, http://www.Talkpkg.com is the URL for
Talkpkg.com's U.S. home page.
2An IP address is an
identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network, such as the World Wide Web.
Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP
address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number
that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing
the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer.
Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the
Internet, browse and shop. |
