Privacy Statement

Kingston Technology Europe Limited knows the importance of protecting your privacy. Please read the following privacy statement to understand how we use and protect your personal information based on your visit to www.kingston.com. We can be reached via e-mail at webmaster@kingston.com.

By using or placing an order on this site, you consent to the collection, use and transfer of your information under the terms of this privacy statement.

Please be aware that other websites that may be accessed through our site, e.g. via a hyperlink, may collect personally identifiable information about you. This Privacy Statement does not cover the information practices of those third-party web sites.

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, we use 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

How we use information

Disclosure of your information

The information you provide to us will be held on our computers and may be accessed by or given to our staff working outside the UK including staff employed by other companies within the Kingston Technology Company Inc group. Some of these companies are located in the US and others are located outside the European Economic Area.

Countries outside the European Economic Area do not always have strong data protection laws. However, we will always take steps to ensure that your information is used in accordance with this policy.

If our business enters into a joint venture with or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed to our new business partners or owners.

The information we collect is not shared with other organisations for commercial purposes other than those listed in this document.
