Marshall Electronics maintains high standards for the protection of privacy over the Internet. The purpose of this statement is to explain the types of information Marshall Electronics obtains about visitors to our websites, how the information is obtained, how it is used, and how visitors can restrict its use or disclosure.

The only information Marshall Electronics obtains about individual visitors to our websites is information supplied voluntarily by the visitor. This means that you can visit our websites without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself--we DO NOT track where you go on our sites, so you never receive unsolicited emails from us.

You can choose to provide individually-identifiable information to Marshall Electronics in a number of ways through our websites - by ordering products from us, sending us email, registering to receive news or website update information. When visitors supply information about themselves for a specific purpose, Marshall Electronics uses the information for that purpose (such as to provide the information the visitor has requested). In addition, when visitors use our websites to order product, or to request information about our products, we may use the individually-identifiable information as we would use the same information obtained off-line--for example, to evaluate your service needs and contact you regarding additional services you may find useful.

We do not sell or disclose individually-identifiable information obtained on-line about our visitors to anyone outside of Marshall Electronics unless it is required by law, or disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of customers, employees or property.

While we do not disclose individually-identifiable information obtained on-line about our visitors to anyone outside of Marshall Electronics, including distributors, those signing up for product information may receive site-specific information regarding updates, news, conferences, or other information which we deem to be important to our visitors.

Some of Marshall Electronics websites may use "cookies" to improve our level of service to visitors. Cookies are lines of text that are transmitted to your web browser when you click on a site. Your browser stores the information on your hard drive and when you return to that site later, the cookie is transmitted back to the server that originally sent it to you. Cookies provide a way for a server to recall a previous request or previous registration, or to keep track of a transaction as it progresses, so that information does not have to be repeated. To be notified when you are about to receive a cookie you can configure your browser to alert you when a site is attempting to send you a cookie and at that time you will have the option of refusing the cookie. You can check your hard drive for cookie files, on the "cookies.txt" file on your PC's hard drive; or under "magic cookies" on a Macintosh.

Marshall Electronics is committed to safeguarding customer privacy on all Marshall Electronics websites. We require our employees to protect the privacy of information about our customers and expect our partners and suppliers to do so as well. You can feel confident that your individually-identifiable information will be protected when you access our webpages or order products from us over the Internet.

The Marshall Electronics websites may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by other sites.

To improve the services it can offer you, Marshall Electronics may opt to expand its capabilities for obtaining information about users in the future. Marshall Electronics will update this privacy statement continually to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area. Marshall Electronics has adopted Privacy Principles that state our commitment and define our policy on safeguarding customer privacy in all of our businesses.
