2. Quality Engineering employees or employees of partner companies that provide services to Quality Engineering may see your personal information when you order products or services from us. In addition, your graphics or personal account information may be seen by Quality Engineering employees, affiliates, licensees, vendors and/or third party contractors in order to evaluate, validate, or correct problems with your account, and in the course of maintaining and ensuring proper administration of the business and website.

3. Collected Information. Quality Engineering collects personal information online when:

• You submit questions or comments to us;
• You request information or materials;
• You register products online;
• You download trial or free versions of our software;
• You participate in online surveys;
• You participate in online promotions, premiums, sweepstakes or contests; and
• You request we send information to your friends, family and colleagues.

The type of information collected may include name, address, phone number, billing and delivery information, e-mail address, gift recipient information, credit card information, login information for Quality Engineering or partner services, and other demographic information. We may also collect general information about your computer, such as its operating system, screen resolution, web browser, etc.

4. How does Quality Engineering use collected personal information? Our primary goal in collecting your customer information is to provide you with a personalized, relevant, user-friendly experience on the websites. Here are the ways we use Customer Information to enhance this experience:

• We use your information to communicate with you. We use your email address to inform you of product improvements, feature announcements, newsletters, Quality Engineering promotional offers, and occasional third-party promotional offers that may be of interest to you. From time to time, we may also directly contact some of our users via email or phone to conduct market research which will help us improve future versions of our products. Only Quality Engineering (or agents working on behalf of Quality Engineering under confidentiality agreements) will ever have the authority to contact you directly.
  
  If you do not wish to receive these communications, you may always "opt out" by contacting us at the address provided below. (If you opt out of promotional communications, we will still contact you in response to specific requests or transactions that you initiate. For example, you will still receive emailed receipts for your online purchases and responses to your technical support requests.)
• We use your information to provide you with products and services that you have requested. For example, if you purchase merchandise through our store, we will use your billing and credit card information to charge you for the merchandise, the shipping address to deliver the merchandise, and your email address and/or phone number to inform you about the status of your order and contact you if there are any issues processing it.
• When you interact with one of our partners through our website or software, we may share your information with that partner.
• We use data about the use of our systems to monitor their proper operation, and to help us maintain and improve our products and services. For example, we might use data that the number of shows shared increases over the summer to increase our server capacity during those months, or to help us decide to offer clip art with a summer vacation theme.
• We use aggregated, anonymous data about our users as a group to help understand our business and communicate it to our partners. For example, we might inform a supplier that 100,000 of our customers order their holagen lights at least once a year. Your information, however, will never be personally identifiable when aggregated for these purposes.

5. Information Collected through Use of Cookies and Other Technologies. Quality Engineering's servers automatically receive and record data from visitor browsers and online communications from our software, including computer IP (Internet Protocol) addresses and other information through the use of cookies. This information is collected about thousands of site visits and analyzed as a whole. This analysis looks for trends among many visitors to www.tradeshowdisplaydepot.com or other Quality Engineering sites, and determines which parts of the site are accessed most frequently and what information visitors find most valuable. We may also collect and record information about what you viewed on our websites. We may use this type of information and combine it with your personal information to help customize our future interactions with you. In doing so, we hope to provide better service to you by tailoring our communications to match your interests.

6. With whom does Quality Engineering share Customer Information? Our primary goal in sharing your information with third parties is to provide you with products and services you have requested. Here are the ways we may share Customer Information with third parties:

• With third party intermediaries (for example, credit card authorization companies, photo processing labs, merchandise distributors, shipping services, etc.) who help us run the our services and the websites. Your information is provided to these third parties solely for the purpose of providing you the services you request at the time that you request them. Third party intermediaries do not store, retain, access or otherwise use your information other than as necessary to provide you with the Quality Engineering products and services.

Quality Engineering reserves the right to transfer your personal information in connection with the sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets. If the business is sold or transferred, Quality Engineering will give you an opportunity to tell us not to transfer your personal information. In some cases, this may mean that the new organization will not be able to continue providing to you the services or products that Quality Engineering provided.

7. Security. Our site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. To that end, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

8. Links to Other Sites. Our website may contain links to other sites. Quality Engineering is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other web sites.

9. Children's Privacy. Protecting the online privacy of children is especially important, and federal law protects those under the age of 13. For that reason, Quality Engineering does not knowingly permit children under the age of 13 to become registered members of our sites, or to buy goods and services on our sites, without verifiable parental consent. Quality Engineering does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information about children under 13, except with their parent's express consent.

If we ever include children under the age of 13 as part of our intended site audience, those specific web pages will, in accordance with the provisions of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), be clearly identified and provide an explicit privacy notice; and we will provide processes to obtain parental approval, provide access to information and allow parents to request removal of their children's personal information.
