COSMOS
DESIGN SOLUTIONS PRIVACY POLICY
We respect and are committed to protect
your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information
is processed and explains data collection and use practices for
the Cosmos Design Solutions. The “Cosmos Design Solutions"
includes all Web pages, newsletters, discussion forums and lists
and opt-in announcement lists owned and operated by Cosmos Design
Solutions. By accessing the Cosmos Design Solutions, you are consenting
to the information collection and use practices described in this
Privacy Policy.
We promise that we will use your personal information only in
ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy as follows:
What
does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy applies to collection, use, storage and disclosure
of information by Cosmos Design Solutions. If there are any exceptions,
we will clearly disclose them prior to collecting any information,
and will give you an opportunity to choose not to participate
or provide the information. By using the Services and our Web
site, you consent to the collection and use of your information
as we outline in this Privacy Policy.
Cosmos Design Solutions may decide to change this Privacy Policy
from time to time. When we do, we will include the new language
changes here. Please be aware that, as part of the Services, Cosmos
Design Solutions provides links to Web sites operated by third
parties, and also provides search results and similar services
to third parties for display on their own Web sites or applications.
Cosmos Design Solutions is not responsible for the information
collection or privacy practices or the content of those third
party Web sites or applications.
What information does Cosmos Design Solutions collect
and how is it used? Does Cosmos Design Solutions disclose information
to third parties?
Cosmos Design Solutions may collect any or all of the following
four types of information: (a) traffic or click stream data, (b)
cookies, (c) pixel tags or (d) contact information and other personally
identifying information. Cosmos Design Solutions collection and
use of each type of data is described below, as well as the ways
(if any) in which the data may be shared with third parties. Please
note that Cosmos Design Solutions may transfer any information
in its possession in connection with a sale of assets of the company,
a sale of the company or a merger.
(a) Traffic or Click stream Data. Data about traffic and usage
is not personally identifying or identifiable, and is not supplemented
or combined with personally identifying or identifiable information.
Cosmos Design Solutions may share information it collects with
certain selected third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous
form. For example, we may tell an advertiser that a certain number
of people visited a certain area on our Web site, or searched
Web sites for the term "CAD/ CAM/ CAE services." However,
if there is consent from subscriber’s side to use its details
to third party, we may give his/ her information. Cosmos Design
Solutions collects some information regarding use of the Services
by observing browser functions and the files (pages) users access.
For example, Cosmos Design Solutions servers collect information
about the site from which you entered to enable Cosmos Design
Solutions to calculate and pay its affiliates, information about
the most frequently searched terms to help its advertisers provide
the most relevant search results, information about usage to check
for fraudulent behavior or other abnormalities and to ensure that
our Services are technically superior. In addition to the foregoing
applications, Cosmos Design Solutions uses the information (in
aggregate form) to better design the Services.
(b) Cookies. Like many sites, Cosmos Design Solutions collects
information about online behavior using cookies. These cookies
contain identification information that enables us to see how
our users are interacting with our site and how frequently they
are returning, as well as to streamline their experiences using
the Services. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifiable
information. Cookies let us know about repeat visitors and if
we are delivering quality products and services.
Cosmos Design Solutions may also use cookies to identify which
sites our repeat visitors are coming from, so that we can place
more of our online advertising on these sites, and can, where
necessary, pay our affiliates and other business partners. To
Cosmos Design Solutions, using information within cookies is an
anonymous way to survey how we are doing and to look for ways
to improve our Services.
You may set your browser software to reject cookies, but you may
not be able to use all of the features of the Services. Cosmos
Design Solutions may share information about usage of the Services
with third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous form. In
the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party
advertiser may place or recognize a unique "cookie"
on your browser. However, if there is consent from subscriber’s
side to use its details to third party, we may give his/ her information.
(c) Pixel Tags. Cosmos Design Solutions shares web site usage
information about visitors to our web site with reputable third-party
advertising companies for the purpose of targeting and measuring
the effectiveness of our Internet advertisements on this site
and other sites. For this purpose, Cosmos Design Solutions and
our third-party advertising companies note some of the pages you
visit on our Web site through the use of pixel tags.
(d) Contact Information or Personally Identifying Information.
Cosmos Design Solutions can obtain access to your name, e-mail
address and other contact information only (1) when you become
a provider or buyer with Cosmos Design Solutions, provide comments,
submit a problem, or request information from Cosmos Design Solutions
and provide your name or return contact information, or (2) in
connection with special offers or contests (such as promotions
and giveaways).
Cosmos Design Solutions may share information with companies who
work on our behalf to provide certain services, such as email
processing and delivery and conducting research and analysis.
These companies are prohibited from using this information for
any other purpose or from sharing this information with other
companies.
Contact information provided in connection with problems, comments
or requests is used only to respond to those problems, comments
or requests. This information is not stored or used in connection
with traffic or clicks stream data and is provided to a third
party only as necessary to respond to the comment, problem or
request. Finally, you may choose to provide contact information,
other personally identifying information, and demographic information
in order to participate in optional surveys or contests, which
are run for promotional purposes. Cosmos Design Solutions uses
such information to send you information about its products and
to notify you if you win the contest. Users may opt-out of receiving
such communications at any time by contacting Cosmos Design Solutions.
Do
you collect IP addresses?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name
and a set of numbers that serve as that computer's "Internet
Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any
Web site within the Cosmos Design Solutions, our Web servers automatically
recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain
name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than
the IP address from which you have accessed our Sites. We use this
information to examine our traffic in aggregate, and to investigate
misuse of the Cosmos Design Solutions, its users, or to cooperate
with law enforcement. We do not collect and evaluate this information
for specific individuals. Our Web servers do not automatically record
e-mail addresses of the visitors.
What
are cookies?
From time to time, Cosmos Design Solutions or its advertisers may
send a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a small
piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a Web server
and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data
off of your computer hard disk or read cookie files created by other
Web sites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to
identify which areas of Cosmos Design Solutions you have visited
or customized, so the next time you visit; those pages may be readily
accessible. Our advertisers may also use cookies to ascertain how
many times you've seen an advertisement. Our advertisers and we
may use this information to better personalize the content, banners,
and promotions that you see on our Site. You can choose whether
to accept cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser.
You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your
browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not
to accept these cookies, your experience at our Site and other Web
sites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.
What personal information do you collect?
Wherever Cosmos Design Solutions collects personal information we
make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy. We will
ask you when we need information that personally identifies you
(personal information) or allows us to contact you. The personal
information we collect may include your name, title, company or
organization name, e-mail address, phone number, work or home address,
information about your job function, information about your company,
and credit card information.
We may request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes
of conducting a contest or to provide additional services (for example,
subscriptions to announcement lists or information about conferences
and trade shows). Participation in contests or other promotions
on the Cosmos Design Solutions is completely voluntary and you have
a choice whether or not to disclose personal information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping
address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Contact
information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes.
If you are purchasing something on the Cosmos Design Solutions,
we, and any third party provider, need to know your name, e-mail
address, mailing address, credit card number and expiration date.
This allows us, or third party providers, to process and fulfill
your order and to notify you of your order status. Credit card and
e-mail information will not be shared or sold to third parties for
any purpose except as provided in this Privacy Policy without your
express permission.
Cosmos Design Solutions also offers access to some services that
require registration. We may use your registration contact information
to send notification to you of products and services by e-mail and/or
postal mail. We may share that information with our clients and
they may also send you promotional materials. We may also use your
IP address internally and share it with third parties.
When you sign up for a Cosmos Design Solutions e-mail newsletter,
you are given the opportunity to sign up for targeted third-party
mailings. Whether or not you want to receive these announcements
is your choice. If you choose to receive an announcement from a
specific distribution list, you will receive commercial messages
from independent third parties that have contracted with Cosmos
Design Solutions to send messages to the list. When you sign up
for a Cosmos Design Solutions discussion forum, your name or alias
is recorded solely for purposes of maintaining your own account
within the forums. This information is not used to monitor your
activity within a forum, nor is it used to identify you outside
the Cosmos Design Solutions.
When you use co-branded services, or those provided by a third party,
within the Cosmos Design Solutions, your information may be passed
to the co-brand or third party provider and their use of your information
is subject to their applicable privacy policies.
We may from time to time send e-mail announcing new products and
services. If you choose to supply your postal address in an online
form, you may receive postal mailings from Cosmos Design Solutions.
Will you disclose the information you collect to outside
third parties?
Cosmos Design Solutions will disclose personal information and/or
an IP address:
1) To contact you regarding other products and services which may
be of interest to you (including those we may offer jointly with
other companies). At any time, however, you may opt out of such
contact;
2) When required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action
is necessary to:
a) Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities
and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process
served on Cosmos Design Solutions;
b) Protect and defend the rights or property of the Cosmos Design
Solutions of sites and related properties, or visitors to the Cosmos
Design Solutions of sites and related properties;
c) Identify persons who may be violating the law, the Cosmos Design
Solutions legal notice and Web site User Agreement, the rights of
third parties, or otherwise misusing the Cosmos Design Solutions

d) Fulfill a user's order or request;
3) To process and fulfill your order or notify you of order status;
4) When we have your consent to share the information;
5) When you use co-branded services within our network of sites,
you grant us permission to pass your registration information back
to that service partner. Their use of your information is subject
to their applicable privacy policies.
We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that
we do not sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a
third-party, without your consent or as permitted by this Privacy
Policy.
What else should I know about my privacy when online?
The Cosmos Design Solutions contains many hyperlinks to third party
Web sites. The Cosmos Design Solutions also contains advertisements
of third parties. Cosmos Design Solutions is not responsible for
the privacy practices or the content of such third party Web sites
or advertisers. Cosmos Design Solutions does not share any of the
individual personal information you provide Cosmos Design Solutions
with the third parties to which Cosmos Design Solutions links, except
as stated elsewhere within this Privacy Policy, although Cosmos
Design Solutions may share general, aggregate data with such third
parties (such as how many people use our Site). Please check with
those Web sites to determine their privacy policy.
If you use Cosmos Design Solution’s discussion threads, you
should be aware that any personally identifiable information you
submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these
forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are
not responsible for the personally identifiable information you
choose to submit in these discussion threads. In order to avoid
your e-mail address or other personal information from being gathered
and used by others for inappropriate or harmful purposes, Cosmos
Design Solutions advises that you should be cautious about posting
a real e-mail address or other personal information to newsgroups,
chats, or other public forums.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal
information online - for example through e-mail, discussion lists,
or elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others.
In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible
to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties
in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy
of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible
whenever you're online.
Is data stored by Cosmos Design Solutions secure?
Any and all postings and/or transmissions done on Cosmos Design
Solutions systems can and are routinely monitored by staff for legal
and terms of service violations. To prevent unauthorized access,
maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information,
Cosmos Design Solutions has put in place physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information it
collects online. However, data security is a constantly evolving
art and science. You should consider any communication that you
transmit to Cosmos Design Solutions (such as data, questions or
answers, comments, or suggestions) as non-confidential, and agree
that Cosmos Design Solutions will not be liable or responsible if
information that belongs to you is intercepted and used by an unintended
recipient.
Business transfers
We are always seeking to improve our network of Web sites and our
business. In accomplishing these objectives, we may sell a company,
assets or websites or one or more of the companies in our corporate
family may merge with, or be acquired by, another company. In connection
with the foregoing, we may transfer some or all of your information
in order that the service being provided to you may continue or
for other business purposes.
Your Consent To This Agreement
By using the Cosmos Design Solutions, you consent to the collection
and use of information by Cosmos Design Solutions as specified above.
We reserve the right to modify this Policy. If we decide to change
our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page so that
you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use
it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
