Fishman & Decea supports the highest standards of integrity for every online visitor. When you register at the Fishman & Decea Web site, our goal is to respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy sets forth how we handle information we obtain from you and learn about you when you visit our Web site, including:

 

The information we collect;

 

The choices that are available to you regarding how the information is used and to whom it is disseminated;

 

Your rights to access and correct or update your personally identifiable information; and Our pledge to have reasonable security procedures that are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control.

 

NOTICE: Information We Collect and How We Use It

Fishman & Decea collects two types of information about you when you visit our site: personal information (including, by way of example only, your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address) and non-personal, aggregate information (such as information regarding the pages on our site that you have visited and your IP address).

 

1. Personally-Identifiable Information And What We Collect

The only personally identifying information we collect and store about you is the information that you choose to provide to us. By registering or providing any of your personal information on this site, you consent to the collection, use and transfer of your information under the terms of this policy.

 

Electronic Mail

We will also gather your personally identifiable information when you send us an e-mail. We will use this information to respond to your e-mail. We may also use the information to send you notifications about our services. Business partners and professional visitors requesting access to specialized content areas of this Web site may be required to provide identifying information.

 

2. Sharing Your Information/Disclosure of Information

The information you provide to us will be held on our computers in the United States and may be accessed by or given to our staff working in the United States and elsewhere and third parties including companies within the Fishman & Decea group located in the United States, Europe and Asia who act for us for the purposes set out in this policy or for other purposes approved by you. Those parties process information and provide support services on our behalf.

 

Where you have consented when providing us with your details, we may also allow carefully selected third parties, including other companies in our group, to contact you occasionally about products and services that may be of interest to you. They may contact you by mail, telephone, fax or e-mail. If you change your mind about being contacted by these companies in the future, please let us know.

 

Finally, if our business enters into a joint venture with or is merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed to our new business partners.

 

Countries outside the European Economic Area do not always have strong data protection laws. However, we will always take steps to ensure that your information is used by third parties in accordance with this policy.

 

Unless required to do so by law, we will not otherwise share, sell or distribute any of the information you provide to us without your consent.

 

3. Non Personally-Identifiable Information:

 

What We Collect

The Fishman & Decea Web site may collect non-personally identifiable information during your visit, such as type of browser, operating system, domain name or IP address. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that "serve" up Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you visit pages on Fishman & Decea' Web site, our servers log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. This means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us. IP address information is used only to improve the service of the Fishman & Decea' site, and is then discarded at the end of each session on our site.

 

Fishman & Decea also collects information through "referrers" and various environmental variables. A "referrer" is information the Web browser passes along to Fishman & Decea' Web server that references the URL from which you came. "Environmental variables" include, among other things, the domain from which you access the Internet, the time you accessed our Web site, type of Web browser and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the Web site you left to visit Fishman & Decea, the names of the pages you visit while at our Web site, and the Internet address of the Web site you then visit. We collect all of this information to allow us to detect broad demographic trends, to provide information tailored to your interests and to enhance your experience on Fishman & Decea' Web site. Fishman & Decea may store "referrer" information for a limited period of time prior to deleting this information.

 

Profiling

To help us improve our Web site and to ensure that we make every effort to provide you with information and offers that are of interest to you, we may merge your personally identifiable information with click-stream data and other data we have (including cookies and offline data). We will provide notice of this, as well as an opportunity to opt-out of it, at the time and place of information collection and before data is entered on our system.

We may also develop a non-identifiable profile on you based on the pages within our site that you visit.

 

4. Links

This Web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that they visit. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected when you visit our Web site.

 

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our home page so you will always be aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

 

Special Policy Regarding Information from Children Under Thirteen

This Web site is not targeted to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly request personally identifiable information from any child under the age of 13 without parental consent. When we do receive such information, we delete it as soon as we discover it and do not use it or share it with third parties.

Employees who violate our security and privacy policies will be subject to our normal disciplinary process.
