When you interact with First Orion, we may collect personal information relevant to the situation, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and contact preferences, your credit card information, and information relating to an inquiry or support issue.

We also may collect information for market research purposes — such as your occupation and where you use your computer — to gain a better understanding of our website users and thus provide more valuable user experience.

We may collect information regarding user activities on our website. This helps us to determine how best to provide useful information to website users and to understand which parts of our websites and services are of most interest to them.

Publicly displayed information is public

If you use a bulletin board or chat room on a First Orion website you should be aware that any information you share is visible to other users. Personally identifiable information you submit to one of these forums can be read, collected, or used by other individuals to send you unsolicited messages. First Orion is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums. For example, if you choose to make information, which was previously non-public, available by enabling certain user features, First Orion will collect that information from your interaction and the information will become publicly available.

When we disclose your information

To help us provide superior service, your personal information may be shared with legal entities within the First Orion group globally who will take steps to safeguard it in accordance with First Orion’s privacy policy.

With our service providers, vendors, and strategic partners

There are also times when it may be advantageous for First Orion to make certain personal information about you available to companies that First Orion has a strategic relationship with or that perform work for First Orion to provide products and services to you on our behalf. These companies may help us process information, extend credit, fulfill orders, deliver products to you, manage and enhance data, provide customer service, assess your interest in our products and services, or conduct customer research or satisfaction surveys.

At times we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.

How we protect your personal information

First Orion takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

If a child under 13 submits personal information to First Orion via the website and we learn that that personal information is the information of a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible.

Cookies and other technologies

As is standard practice on many corporate websites, First Orion’s website uses “cookies” and other technologies to help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how much time they spend there. We also may use cookies and other technologies to make sure that our online advertising is bringing website users to our products and services, such as iTunes. We may use cookies and other technologies to study traffic patterns on our website, to make it even more rewarding as well as to study the effectiveness of our website user communications. And we may use cookies to customize your experience and provide greater convenience each time you interact with us.

If you prefer not to enable cookies certain features of the First Orion website may not be available once cookies are disabled.

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

In some of our email messages we may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the First Orion website. When website users click one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We may track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications. If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.

In addition we may use pixel tags — tiny graphic images — to tell us what parts of our website users have visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches website users perform on our site.

Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format website users can read. And they tell us whether emails have been opened to ensure that we’re sending only messages that are of interest to our website users.
