Kingston Technology Company knows the importance of protecting your privacy. Below are the guidelines we use for protecting your personal information based on your visit to www.kingston.com or to shop.kingston. We can be reached via e-mail at webmaster@kingston.com.

What Information We Collect

For each visitor to our Web page, our Web server automatically recognizes and logs your domain name or IP address for purposes of system administration and to report aggregated information. "Cookies" are small pieces of information stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive.

Additionally, we collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail, aggregate information on what pages you access or visit, log user-specific information on what pages you access or visit and information volunteered by you, such as survey information and/or site registrations.

Further, Kingston Technology uses pixels, or transparent GIF files, to help manage online advertising. These GIF files are provided by our ad management partner, DoubleClick. These files enable DoubleClick to recognize a unique cookie on your Web browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements bring users to our website. The cookie was placed by us, or by another advertiser who works with DoubleClick.

With both cookies and Spotlight technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address.

For more information about DoubleClick, including information about how to opt out of these technologies, go to http://www.doubleclick.net/us/corporate/privacy
