Introduction
OpenTech is committed to the highest standards in protecting
and safeguarding your right to privacy while using and interacting
with our Web site.
While you can access most areas of our Web site without submitting
any personal data, there are certain areas of our site that request
specific personal information including name, phone number, and
e-mail address. Our intent is to allow you as much control as possible
over your personal information. Below we explain how OpenTech collects,
stores, and uses your information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Data Collection Overview
- Server Logs: For each visitor to the
OpenTech Web site, our Web server automatically recognizes
the visitor's domain name, browser type, operating system,
visited pages, and average time on the Web site.
This information is used for internal purposes only in helping
us improve our Web site and better your overall experience.
- Online Forms: We use online forms in
several areas of our Web site. Online forms provide site visitors
with an opportunity to request company and product information.
All information provided by the visitor is voluntary, with
information generally including name, address, company, and
e-mail. We will sometimes use this information to contact visitors
for marketing, sales, service and support purposes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cookies
We currently do not use cookies. However, we
may at some time in the future decide to use them.

Web Bugs
OpenTech does not use Web bugs or any other type of "hidden detection
and tracking" technology or coding in its web pages. We do, however,
use them on some email correspondence so that we may ensure proper
receipt by the intended recipients.
Web bugs, or clear GIFs, are tiny images embedded in a Web page
or HTML-enhanced e-mail that transmit information to a remote computer
when the page is viewed. Businesses operating on the Internet often
use them to track visitor behavior or to measure the effectiveness
of advertising campaigns.

We do not collect e-mail addresses without the site visitor
voluntarily providing us with this information (typically via our

e-mail from us in the future, please

We do not share your e-mail

agreements or (iii) protect the rights, property or safety of OpenTech,
our visitors, or others.
Upon request, OpenTech will provide site visitors with access
to their personal information that we have on record. This may

password information), transaction information (e.g., dates on
which visitors made purchases, amounts and types of purchases),
and contact information (e.g., name, address, e-mail, and phone
number information) as well as communications (e.g., e-mails and
completed forms) that the visitor directed to our site.
