PRIVACY
Your privacy is important to us at VaST Systems Technology Corporation. This Privacy Policy discloses the information practices for VaST websites, including the type of information gathered, how the information is used, and VaST's policy regarding sharing information with others. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy. By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Personal Information You Provide to Us
VaST Systems Technology collects Personal Information and Anonymous Information from you when you visit the Site. "Personal Information" means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to: a first and last name; e-mail address; a home, postal or other physical address or other contact information; title, occupation, industry, place of employment, or personal interests; and other information necessary to provide a service that you requested. "Anonymous Information" means information that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information; Anonymous Information does not permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Information and Anonymous Information, as described below.
Cookies
We may use cookies on the Site to allow us to understand the areas of the Site that are of interest to you. This helps us to better serve you and to provide you with tailored information upon your visit. A cookie is an element of data that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing a website but does not allow us to identify who you are. VaST Systems Technology uses both session cookies (which expire once you close your Web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them). You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some areas of the Site may not function properly.
Use of Personal Information
We collect Personal Information from you to fulfill your requests. For example, we may use your Personal Information to process an employment application, should you submit one to us. We may also use your Personal Information to send you information that you requested, or to confirm registrations, purchases, or service request submissions.
We may create Anonymous Information records from Personal Information by excluding information (such as your name) that make the information personally identifiable to you. We use this Anonymous Information to perform statistical analyses of users' aggregate behavior so that we may enhance the content of our services and improve site navigation.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Your Personal Information will generally not be shared, sold, traded, or rented to individuals or other entities (such as direct mail organizations).
Although we currently do not share your Personal Information with our affiliates, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (collectively, "affiliates"), we may in the future. If we decide to share some or all of your Personal Information with any of these affiliates, we will require such affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. If our company or our assets are acquired by another company, that company will possess the Personal Information collected by us and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your Personal Information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on VaST Systems Technology; or (b) protect and defend the rights or property of VaST Systems Technology or users of the Site.
Security of Your Personal Information
We safeguard the Personal Information you send to us with reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. We store your Personal Information behind our firewall and utilize appropriate security measures in our physical facilities to prevent loss or unauthorized use of sensitive information. Except as provided elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, VaST Systems Technology limits access to Personal Information in electronic databases to those persons (including employees and contractors) in VaST Systems TechnologyÕs organization who have a business need for such access.
