VALcoa respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This statement describes how VALcoa collects and uses your personal information to provide services that you request or when you choose to provide us with your personal information.  This statement applies solely to information collected at VALcoa’s Web site.

Information Collection

Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email address, a home, postal or other physical address, other contact information, title, occupation, industry, personal interests, and other information when needed to provide a service or product or carry out a transaction you have requested.
When you browse our website, you do so anonymously, unless you have previously registered with us. We do not automatically collect personal information, including your email address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which part of our website you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to any personal information unless you have registered with us.
Access to certain VALcoa web pages requires a login and a password. The use of those web pages, and the information or programs downloadable from those sites, may be governed by a written agreement between your employer and VALcoa. Unless you request deactivation of your personal information as specified below, your personal information may be retained by VALcoa to verify compliance with the agreement, log software licenses granted, track software downloaded from those pages, or track usage of other applications available on those pages.

How We Use Information Collected

VALcoa uses information for several general purposes: to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, to personalize your experience on our website, to keep you up to date on the latest service announcements, newsletters, special offers or other information we think you would like to hear about either from us or from our business partners, and to better understand your needs and provide you with better services. We may also use your information to send you, or to have our business partners send you, direct marketing information or contact you for market research.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Your personal information may be shared with other VALcoa offices or subsidiaries around the world. All such entities are governed by this Privacy Statement or are bound by appropriate confidentiality and data transfer agreements.
Your personal information is never shared outside VALcoa without your permission, except under conditions explained below. Inside VALcoa, data is stored in controlled servers with limited access.

We will also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, or in urgent circumstances, to protect personal safety, the public or our websites.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your computers hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you have visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of VALcoa's website use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.

While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.
