In addition, SEG America may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to SEG America, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

SEG America keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within SEG America’s Web site, in order to determine what SEG America Web site services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within SEG America to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Use of Cookies

The SEG America Web site use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize SEG America’s pages, or register with SEG America site or services, a cookie helps SEG America to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same SEG America Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the SEG America features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the SEG America services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

SEG America secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. SEG America secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
