| LIKE Seating Privacy practices on the Web |
| Your privacy is important to Lenovo. This statement discloses the information practices for Lenovo Web sites, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared. |
| Personal
information |
In general, you can visit LIKE Seating on the Internet
without telling us who you are and without giving any
personal information about yourself. There are times,
however, when we or our partners may need information
from you.
You may choose to give us personal information in a
variety of situations. For example, you may want to give
us information, such as your name and address or e-mail
id, to correspond with you, to process an order, or to
provide you with a subscription. You may give us your
credit card details to buy something from us or a
description of your education and work experience in
connection with a job opening at LIKE Seating that you wish to
be considered for. We intend to let you know how we will
use such information before we collect it from you; if
you tell us that you do not want us to use this
information to make further contact with you beyond
fulfilling your requests, we will respect your wishes.
If you give us personal information about somebody else,
such as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that
you have their permission to do
so. |
| Using and Sharing Personal Information |
| The following paragraphs describe in more detail how
LIKE Seating may use your personal information and with whom
we may share it. Depending on the type of LIKE Seating Web
site you are visiting, one or more of the paragraphs may
apply. For example, if you order a product from a LIKE Seating
Web site, your information will be handled as described
in such paragraphs as Fulfilling Your Transaction
Request and Marketing Use. |
| Fulfilling your transaction request |
| If you request something from a LIKE Seating Web site, for
example, a product or service, a callback, or specific
marketing materials, we will use the information you
provide to fulfill your request. To help us do this, we
may share information, with others, for instance, other
parts of LIKE Seating, LIKE Seating’s Business Partners, financial
institutions, shipping companies, postal or government
authorities (for example, Customs authorities) involved
in fulfillment. In connection with a transaction we may
also contact you as part of our customer satisfaction
surveys or for market research
purposes. |
| Marketing Use |
| The information you provide to LIKE Seating on certain
LIKE Seating Web sites may also be used by LIKE Seating and selected
third parties for marketing purposes. Before we use it,
however, we will offer you the opportunity to choose
whether or not to have your information used in this
way. |
| LIKE Seating Human Resources Web Sites (including Recruitment) |
| In connection with a job application or inquiry,
whether advertised on a LIKE Seating Web site or otherwise,
you may provide us with information about yourself, such
as a resume or curriculum vitae. We may use this
information throughout LIKE Seating and its related entities
for the purpose of employment consideration or your
inquiry. Except where you tell us not to, we will keep
the information for future
consideration. |
| Information for Business Partners |
| If you represent a LIKE Seating Business Partner, you may
visit a LIKE Seating Web site intended specifically for LIKE Seating
Business Partners. We may use information provided on
that site to administer and develop our business
relationship with you, the Business Partner you
represent, and LIKE Seating Business Partners generally. For
instance, this may involve using your information to
send you details of LIKE Seating Business Partner programs. It
may also include sharing certain information with other
Business Partners (subject to any confidentiality
obligations that may exist), or LIKE Seating customers or
prospects. In connection with a particular transaction
or program, we may also contact you as part of customer
satisfaction surveys or for market research
purposes. |
| LIKE Seating Supplier Administration |
| If you represent a LIKE Seating supplier, you may visit a
LIKE Seating Web site intended specifically for use by LIKE Seating
suppliers. We may use the information provided on that
site in connection with entering into or performing a
transaction with you. For example, this may include
sharing information with other parts of LIKE Seating, LIKE Seating’s
Business Partners, customers, shipping companies,
financial institutions, postal or government authorities
involved in fulfillment. It may also be used to
administer and develop our relationship with you, the
supplier you represent and/or other LIKE Seating suppliers
generally. |
| LIKE Seating Discussion Forums and Chat Rooms |
| If you participate in a LIKE Seating discussion forum or
chat room, you should be aware that the information you
provide there will be made broadly available to others,
potentially inside or outside LIKE Seating, who have access to
that discussion forum or chat room. Also, please
recognize that individual forums and chat rooms may have
additional rules and conditions. Each participant’s
opinion on a forum or chat room is his or her own and
should not be considered as reflecting the opinion of
LIKE Seating. |
| Other LIKE Seating Web Site Notices |
| In some cases, specific LIKE Seating Web sites may contain
other notices about their use and the information
practices applicable to those
sites. |
| Our Worldwide Practices |
LIKE Seating is a global organization, with legal entities,
business processes, management structures, and technical
systems that cross borders.
Our privacy practices are designed to provide
protection for your personal information, all over the
world.
We may share your personal information within LIKE Seating
and transfer it to countries in the world where we do
business.
Some countries may provide less legal protection for
your information. In such countries LIKE Seating will still
handle information in the manner we describe
here. |
| Information Security and Quality |
| We intend to protect your personal information and to
maintain its quality. We implement appropriate measures
and processes, such as using encryption when
transmitting certain sensitive information, to help us
to keep your information secure and to maintain its
quality. |
| Supplementing Information |
| From time to time we may supplement information you
give us via a LIKE Seating Web site with information from
other sources, such as information validating your
address or other available information about businesses.
This is to help us maintain the accuracy of the
information we collect and to help us provide a better
service. |
| Use of Suppliers |
| In some cases LIKE Seating uses suppliers to collect, use,
analyze and otherwise process information on its behalf.
It is LIKE Seating’s practice to require such suppliers to
handle information in a manner consistent with LIKE Seating’s
policies. |
| Mergers and Acquisitions |
| Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic
or other business reasons, LIKE Seating 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 LIKE Seating’s
practice to seek appropriate protection for information
in these types of
transactions. |
| Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies |
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information
from visits to our Web sites to help us provide better
customer service. For example, we keep track of the
domains from which people visit, and we also measure
visitor activity on LIKE Seating Web sites, but we do so in
ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This
information is sometimes known as "clickstream data."
LIKE Seating or others on LIKE Seating’s behalf may use this data to
analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide
better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data from you in a
transaction, we may extract some information about that
transaction in an non-identifiable format and combine it
with other non-identifiable information such as
clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed
only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends
and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an
individual level. If you do not want your transaction
details used in this manner you can disable your
cookies.
We collect the information we mentioned in the
previous paragraphs through the use of various
technologies, including one called "cookies". A cookie
is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your
browser, which may then be stored on your computer as an
anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you.
Some LIKE Seating pages use cookies, sent by LIKE Seating or its
third party vendors, or other technologies to better
serve you when you return to the Web site. You can set
your browser to notify you before 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 Web sites may not work
properly.
Some LIKE Seating Web sites also use Web beacon or other
technologies to better tailor those sites to provide
better customer service. These technologies may be in
use on a number of pages across LIKE Seating’s Web sites. When
a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable
notice of that visit is generated which may be processed
by us or by our suppliers. These Web beacons usually
work in conjunction with cookies. If you don’t want your
cookie information to be associated with your visits to
these pages, you can set your browser to turn off
cookies.
If you turn off cookies, Web beacon and other
technologies will still detect visits to these pages,
but the notices they generate cannot be associated with
other non-identifiable cookie information and are
disregarded. |
| Service Quality Monitoring |
| Certain Web transactions may also involve you calling
us or our calling you. Please be aware that it is
LIKE Seating’s general practice to monitor and in some cases
record such calls for staff training or quality
assurance purposes. |
| Online Advertising |
| Certain companies help us deliver interactive
on-line advertising such as banner ads. These companies
may collect and use information about customers to help
us better understand the offers, promotions, and types
of advertising that are most appealing to our customers.
After it is collected the information is aggregated so
it is not identifiable to a specific individual. If,
however, you would prefer that these companies not
collect such information, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/ and follow the "opt-out"
instructions. |
| Personalized URL Link |
On occasion, we may personalize and customize Web
sites for certain visitors. If you visit one of these
sites, you may find it customized with references to
products and/or services that we believe may be of
interest to you, based on your previous interactions
with LIKE Seating and information you have provided to us.
While you are visiting these Web sites, we may collect
information about your visit to better tailor the site
to your interests. An invitation to visit one of these
Web sites is usually presented as a personalized URL in
an e-mail, a notice on a Web site registration page, or
as a response to you logging on to a certain Web
site.
If you choose to visit one of these Web sites, you
are agreeing to let LIKE Seating collect information about
your visits and also to its association with other
information about you and your relationship with LIKE Seating.
If you do not wish your information to be used in this
way, do not accept the invitation to visit these
sites. |
