Introduction
As a global leader in data management solutions, Iomega knows the value of information. We also understand the privacy issues involved in using the Internet. For these reasons, we believe that you have the right to know exactly how we collect and use information at our website.
This statement describes the privacy policy, which applies to the Iomega European website (the Privacy Policy). To protect your privacy, we follow the principles described opposite.
General
We are committed to protecting your privacy. We recognize that conducting business on-line can raise concerns about the security of your information so we have attempted to adopt the necessary precautions to protect you. If at any time you feel something else is appropriate, please let us know and we will do what we can to accommodate your concerns. This Privacy Policy outlines our views and practices and how they apply to you.

They have to access Personal Information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual's hard drive and that stay there after you have left a site. If you are a frequent web user, you probably have received many cookies. They make it much easier for repeat visitors to various sites because they can help identify your computer type, operating system, and browser to deliver information accordingly. We use cookies for tracking purposes in two ways. First, we use cookies to get an accurate count of users visiting our site, what they looked for when here, how many pages they viewed and their preferences. The information is only used in aggregate form so we can improve the content of our site. Secondly, we may use a cookie in conjunction with a registration form. The purpose of this is to provide added convenience to repeat visitors and to save them the trouble of filling out the same form on multiple visits. In general, cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information unless a visitor supplies information knowingly. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.
Information Security
We offer secure pages to collect information on our order forms. We also use reasonable precautions to protect the Personal Information stored on our system from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our site reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.
