The ITE Story

Our Commitment to Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. This website, www.iteonline.com (the “Site”), is owned and operated by Information Technology Engineering , Inc. (“ITE”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and disclose information that we may obtain about you through the Site. When you provide information to us via our Site, we protect it according to this Privacy Policy. By using this Site, you acknowledge that you have reviewed, and agree to, the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, do not use this Site.

ITE, unlike many companies and websites, does not focus on consumer users or the collection of consumer data. To the extent we collect information online, our purpose is to better serve our business customers.

The Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information when you browse this Site, any other ITE website, or any affiliate site:

Information you provide directly when you register or make an online order, join an online community or other group, inquire about ITE products, or request ITE support or services at any ITE interactive message board, or via any e-mail messages you send us, including personally identifiable information such as your name, contact information (phone, fax and pager numbers, address, and email address), ordering information, and payment data.
Information you provide directly, including personally identifiable information you submit through this Site as part of the online job application process or in the process of registering for a ITE sponsored training, event, user group, or conference.
Passively collected information, including through the use of “cookies” described below, such as IP addresses, web browser and operating system information, date and time of visits, and the web pages your Internet browser visits when browsing this Site, any other ITE website or any affiliate site;
Click-through information related to ITE emails and related marketing activities; and
Aggregate, non-personally identifiable information, such as the number of hits per week or per web page.

“Cookies” are small text files that store information about your interactions with a particular website, either temporarily (known as a “temporary” or “session” cookie, and deleted once you close your browser window) or more permanently on the hard drive of your computer (known as a “permanent” or “persistent cookie”). Cookies can make it easier to use a website by allowing servers to access certain information quickly:

Session cookies can be used to help a user’s browser navigate a website more smoothly and may show up if the user comes from a website with which the subsequent website has some relationship (e.g., a website of an affiliated company) and can give helpful information.
Persistent cookies can be used to customize a website for a user, such as by storing passwords, preferences, and registration and account information so that users do not have to reenter this information each time they visit a website.

This Site may use both session/temporary cookies and persistent/permanent cookies to store information that allows us to offer you better customer service and to navigate through the Site with ease. To make the Site easier to use, we combine information collected via cookies with personally identifiable information. Note that if you configure your browser to reject cookies, you might not be able to access important functions or areas of the Site or enjoy certain conveniences at this Site.

For information you provide online, including actions or clicks from hyperlinks and subscriptions, we use the information to customize future communications and web pages in accordance with communication preferences you have established with ITE.
For some registration, email and use data you provide, we may direct you to particular web pages, customize the web pages you see, or otherwise increase the relevance of the information you receive.

When We Share Customer Information

ITE shares information for business purposes only on a need-to-know basis and only with: (a) its own employees and affiliates; (b) the customer from which ITE received the information; (c) ITE subcontractors, consultants, and third-party service-provider companies, that have agreed to safeguard such information in a like manner to the way that ITE safeguards such information and that have signed confidentiality agreements with ITE; and (d) other entities authorized to have access to such information under applicable law or regulation. ITE does not share non-public individually identifiable information with third party marketers.

ITE may disclose information to protect our rights or property, to enforce our terms of use and legal notices, as required or permitted by law, or at the request of government regulators or other law enforcement officials and the courts (including the issuance of a valid subpoena). We shall have no duty to notify you of such compliance with the law.

We will not use or share information in ways unrelated to those described above without first notifying you and offering you a choice as to whether or not we may use your data in this different manner.

Our Commitment to Data Integrity and Security

ITE processes information only in ways compatible with the purpose for which it was collected. To the extent necessary for such purposes, we take reasonable steps to make sure that customer information is accurate, complete, current and otherwise reliable with regard to its intended use. However, ITE expects customers will update their personal information with ITE as necessary.

ITE takes reasonable and appropriate measures to maintain the confidentiality and integrity, and prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure, of information. This includes maintaining a system of appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards to secure such information.
