Overview
In the course of conducting our information
services and technology business worldwide, Netteck collects and

confidentiality of Personal Data and handling it correctly is
central to the way we conduct our business activities. This policy
describes how we handle Personal Data.
Personal Data is information that can be used
directly or indirectly to identify a living individual. Personal
Data may include sensitive categories of information, such as
information that reveals racial or ethnic origin, political
opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership or health

This policy applies to Netteck, LLC and any of
its subsidiaries, and is effective as of January 1, 2004. All
employees will be required to abide by this policy.
This policy is designed to protect Personal Data
under applicable law as it is currently exists. However, Netteck
realizes that this policy cannot address every potential issue and
circumstance. Therefore, we acknowledge that this policy is subject
in all respects to applicable local legal and regulatory
requirements and existing agreements and confirm that we will comply
with such requirements and existing agreements.
Privacy Principles
We will observe the privacy principles described
below of Notice, Choice/Fair Processing, Access, Security/Integrity,

how and for what purposes it is being collected, how it is being
used and to whom it will be disclosed.

We will process Personal Data only with consent
or when such processing is permitted by applicable law. If we need
to process Sensitive Personal Data, we will obtain explicit consent
for such processing, unless such processing is permitted by
applicable law.
We will not process Personal Data in a manner
incompatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected
unless later authorized by the affected individuals or allowed by
law; we will take reasonable steps to ensure that such data is
accurate, adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to such
purposes; and we will not keep such data longer than is necessary
for such purposes.
We will enable individuals to choose whether
their Personal Data can be disclosed to a third party for direct
marketing purposes.

their Personal Data to verify, correct or delete their data, where

only by (i) Netteck employees, suppliers, business partners and
others who require access for the performance of their obligations

through appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect
against unauthorized or unlawful access or processing, disclosure,
alteration, destruction or accidental loss of Personal Data.
We will utilize reasonable means to keep Personal
Data accurate, complete and current in order to protect the quality
and integrity of Personal Data, however, we rely on individuals to
provide all relevant information and to advise us of any changes to
their Personal Data to ensure that it remains accurate, complete and
current.

provide at least the same level of protection for such data as
specified by the standards stated in this policy.
