Collection of Information Using Cookies and Other Tools

WOVEX may collect and/or log your Internet Protocol address, Internet domain name, the web browser and operating system used to access WOVEX websites or applications, the pages or files visited, the time spent in each page or file, and the time and date of each visit or use. WOVEX may collect this information automatically as you browse our websites or use our applications through the use of log files, web beacons, or other electronic tools. WOVEX may also use cookies and other electronic tools to automatically collect information about your use of our websites, applications, or emails. Cookies are text files that are sent from a website via your browser and placed on your computer’s hard drive or your mobile device.

The information collected through cookies and other electronic tools may be linked to your personal information, such as your email address or password. We may also use cookies and other electronic tools placed by a third-party service provider to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and other information and to help us understand what product information is of most interest to you and what kinds of advertising offers you like to see. Although the service provider logs the information coming from our websites or applications on our behalf, WOVEX controls how that data may and may not be used. If you do not want to assist WOVEX in improving our products, offers, and marketing strategy, you can opt out of this website analysis tool with respect to mobile applications.

Your Marketing Choices, Right to Access Your Personal Information, and Our Retention of Your Personal Information

Your Marketing Choices. Your decision to provide the personal information that we may request from time to time is voluntary. However, if you do not provide the personal information requested, you may not be able to proceed with the activity or receive the benefit for which the personal information is being requested. You can unsubscribe or choose not to receive promotional materials from WOVEX (or from specific divisions or subsidiaries) by following the specific instructions in the email or other communication you receive or by notifying us via the appropriate method(s) described below depending on which website or service is at issue. It may take a reasonable period of time to process your request, but no longer than 30 days for direct mail and telephone promotions and 10 business days for email or text promotions. In countries where WOVEX is required to do so by law, WOVEX will offer you the opportunity to provide your opt-in consent before promotional materials are sent, or promotional calls are made, to you. Your Access to Your Personal Information. WOVEX strives to keep your personal information accurate. We have implemented technology, management processes, and policies to maintain data integrity. We will provide you with reasonable access to your personal information in accordance with relevant laws, including by making reasonable efforts to provide you with online access and the opportunity to update your information. To protect your privacy and security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting access or making changes to your personal information. To request access to, or correction, deletion or removal of, your personal information, follow the applicable instructions below depending on which website or service is at issue. While we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request, we also reserve the right to reject such access requests or to impose certain restrictions and requirements on such requests, if required or permitted by applicable law. We will respond to requests for access within 30 days. Our Retention of Your Information. We will retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services.

Transfer of Your Information to Other Countries

In accordance with applicable law, personal and other information covered by this Privacy Statement may be transferred to, and processed and stored in, the United Kingdom or any other country in which WOVEX or its affiliates, subsidiaries, service providers, business partners, or customers maintain facilities, even if the level of data privacy required in that country is less than that required by the European Union. By submitting your personal information to WOVEX, you consent to such transfers and to the worldwide processing of your personal information.

Links to Non- WOVEX Websites and Third Parties

WOVEX’s websites may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the WOVEX website. WOVEX does not control these third-party websites or their privacy practices, which may differ from WOVEX’s. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal information you choose to provide to unrelated third parties is not covered by the WOVEX Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy statement of any entity before submitting your personal information.

Security of Your Personal Information

Wovex has implemented reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, alteration, or destruction. When you provide us with credit card information via a WOVEX website, we will encrypt that information via SSL. If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Please also be careful to avoid “phishing” scams, where someone may send you an email that looks like it is from WOVEX asking for your personal information. WOVEX will not request your personal information through email.

Our websites or applications may include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, and widgets, such as the ”share this” button. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our websites or applications.
