AKM Meadville Electronics (Xiamen) Co.

Before you visit this Website or submit your personal data, AKMMV reminds you to read and understand this Privacy and Cookie Policy (hereinafter referred to as this “Policy” for short). This Policy is applicable to AKMMV’s websites, products and services displaying this Policy or linked to this Policy. This Policy describes how AKMMV would process your personal data. But this Policy might not involve all the data processing scenarios. Information about the collection of the specific data of products or services might be released by AKMMV in its complementary policies or in the notifications provided at the time of data collection.

1. Collection of Personal Data

Personal data refers to information that can be used to confirm the identity of individuals when being used separately or in combination with other information. Such data might be submitted to us directly by you when you are using our websites, products or services or when you are interacting with us, for example, when you are creating a AKMMV account or contacting us to get support; or might be obtained by us through recording how you are interacting with our websites, products or services, by using techniques such as cookie or receiving the usage data from the software running on your device. When permitted by law, we might also obtain related data from third-party public and commercial sources. For example, we might purchase statistical data from other companies to support our services. The data collected by us depends on the websites you visited or the products and services you used, and might include names, addresses, emails, telephone numbers, and login information (usernames and passwords).

You have the right to refuse to provide personal data. But if you refuse to provide certain personal data, you might not be able to use our products or services, or your refusal might have certain impact on your use of our products or services.

2. Use of Personal Data

2.1 We might use your personal data for the following purposes:

(a) Fulfill orders; deliver, activate or authenticate products or services; make changes at your request; and provide technical support.

The purpose of AKMMV collecting such data is to learn how the users use its websites, products and services, with which AKMMV can improve its services and better meet the needs of customers. AKMMV might decide at its own discretion to collect, use, process, transfer or disclose non-identifying data for other purposes. We would do our best to isolate your personal data from non-identifying data and use these two types of data separately. If personal data is mixed with non-identifying data, they will still be treated as personal data.

Meanwhile, websites can save settings, such as computer’s or mobile device’s languages, font sizes and other browsing preferences. This means that users don’t need to reconfigure their preference settings every time they visit a website. If a website doesn’t use cookie, then every time when a webpage is opened by a user, the website would see this user as a new visitor.

AKMMV will not use cookie for any purpose other than those described in this Policy. You can manage or delete cookie based on your own preferences. For details, visit AboutCookies.org.
