Statement
EMLab P&K* respects your privacy and is committed to protect the
personal information that you share with us. Generally, you can browse through

we collect and use your personal information.

Information Collection
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an
individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email
address, a home, postal or other physical address, other contact information,
title, birth date, gender, occupation, industry, personal interests, other
information when needed to provide a service you requested.
When you browse our website, you do so anonymously, unless you have previously
indicated that you wish EMLab P&K to remember your login and password.
We don't collect personal information, including your email address. We do log
your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of
which part of our website you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not
link your IP address to any personal information unless you have logged in to
our website. Like many other commercial websites, the EMLab P&K website
may use a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information about
how you use the site. Please go to "Cookies and Tracking Information" below for
more information.
EMLab P&K collects personal information when you register with EMLab
P&K for a EMLab P&K account, when you use certain EMLab P&K
products or services, when you register to attend a seminar or participate in
an online survey, when you ask to be included in an email or other mailing
list, or you submit an entry for a sweepstakes or other promotions, or when you
submit your information to EMLab P&K for any other reason. From time to
time, EMLab P&K receives personal information from business partners and
vendors. EMLab P&K only uses such information if it has been collected
in accordance with acceptable privacy practices consistent with this Policy and
applicable laws.
Access to certain EMLab P&K web pages require a login and a password.
The use of those web pages, and the information or programs downloadable from
those sites, may be governed by a written agreement between your employer and
EMLab P&K. Your personal information may be retained by EMLab P&K
to verify compliance with the agreement, log software licenses granted, to
track software downloaded from those pages, or track usage of other
applications available on those pages.

Notice
When personal information is collected, we will inform you at the point of
collection the purpose for the collection. EMLab P&K does not intend to
transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent,
except under the limited conditions described under the discussion entitled
"Information Sharing and Disclosure" below.
If you choose to provide us with your personal information, we may transfer
that information, within EMLab P&K or to EMLab P&K's third party
service providers, including across borders and from your country or
jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.
We will always give you the opportunity to "opt out" of receiving direct
marketing or market research information. This means we assume you have given
us your consent to collect and use your information in accordance with this
Policy unless you take affirmative action to indicate that you do not consent,
for instance by clicking or checking the appropriate option or box at the point
of collection. In some cases, when applicable, we will provide you with the
opportunity to "opt in." This means we will require your affirmative action to
indicate your consent before we use your information for purposes other than
the purpose for which it was submitted.

Cookies and Tracking Technology
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive
when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID
that the site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only personal
information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie
can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.
Some parts of EMLab P&K's website uses cookies to track user traffic
patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website
information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is
in helping users reach that information.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set
your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when
your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by
turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full
advantage of EMLab P&K's website if you do so. You do not need to have
cookies turned on to use/navigate through many parts of our website, except
access to certain of EMLab P&K's web pages require a login and password.
