You may choose to provide personal information (such as your name, address, telephone number and email address) on this Web site. Here are the ways you may provide the information and the types of information you may submit. We also tell you how we may use the information.
Information or Support Requests
If you wish to obtain information or support from Itronix you may do so by contacting us through various email or information request links on this site. The specific personal information you must submit will depend on the information or support you are requesting. Itronix will use your information to contact you and provide the information or support you requested.
Some contact or registration forms will also give you the opportunity to provide additional, non-mandatory information about your industry and specific interest. We have indicated on each form whether the data field is required for your information/support request or whether it is non-mandatory additional information. If you choose to provide the additional information, we may use it for statistical data gathering purposes. We may also use it to provide you with marketing materials directed at your specific interests. However, we will not send you any marketing materials unless you have provided your opt-in consent to do so, for example, by registering to receive information about our products or services. If you have become a customer by buying a product online, though, we may send you marketing materials about similar products and services by email unless you have indicated to us that you do not wish to receive such materials.

We have designed whitepapers to help with your understanding of cost savings and assist you in selection of products. To ensure that each user’s intent and interest in the white papers is legitimate, we ask that you register certain information with us before accessing our white papers. If you choose to provide the additional information, we may use it for statistical data gathering purposes. We may also use it to provide you with marketing materials directed at your specific interests. However, we will not send you any marketing materials unless you have provided your opt-in consent to do so.
Questionnaires and Surveys
We occasionally may ask visitors to our Web site to complete online surveys and opinion polls about their activities, attitudes, interests, and satisfaction as a customer. These surveys help us understand the needs of our visitors. We do not process, use or keep any personal information about you in connection with your participation in a Web site survey unless you specifically agree to provide that information.
Cookies and Log Files
Like many companies, we use cookies and log files on our Web site. Cookies are small text files that Web sites often store on the computer hard drives of visitors to their sites. A cookie contains a unique code, which is used to recognize your computer when a user of your computer returns to a Web site that was visited previously. Log files are web server files that are automatically created when a user visits a site. We use cookies and log files to enhance the online experience of our visitors and to better understand how our site is used. Cookies and log files may tell us, for example, whether you have visited our site before or whether you are a new visitor.
The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Remember, though, without cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of all of our Web site features.
Information We Share
We do not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose personal information about our Web site visitors, except as described here. We may share information provided by our Web site visitors with service providers we have retained to perform various services on our behalf. These service providers are contractually required to comply with our privacy notice and are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services or functions for Itronix or to comply with legal requirements. They are not authorized by Itronix to use the information for their own marketing purposes. In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process or (ii) to law enforcement authorities.
We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to require that the transferee uses personal information you have provided through this Web site in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice. If you do not want the transferee to further process your data in such case, you should contact the transferee.
Links to Other Sites
Occasionally we provide links to other non-Itronix Web sites for your convenience and information. These sites operate independently from www.gd-computing.com and www.gd-itronix.com and are not affiliated with Itronix or under our control. These sites may have their own privacy notices in place, which we strongly suggest you review if you visit any linked Web sites. We are not responsible for the content of these sites, any products or services that may be offered through these sites, or any other use of these sites.
In addition, some of the links provided on www.gd-computing.com and www.gd-itronix.com will open a new window and link you to General Dynamics C4 Systems Web site. Any use of these General Dynamics C4 Systems sites are governed by the separate privacy policy available and located on those sites.
Security
The security of personal information is important to us. We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and all other unlawful forms of processing of the personal information in our possession. When you provide personal information online, such as when you provide credit card information to buy a product online, we use the industry standard for encryption on the Internet—Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology—to help protect the information that you provide. This Internet encryption standard scrambles data as it travels from your computer to our server. You will know that you are in a secure area of our website when a lock icon appears on your screen that the “http” prefix of our URL address changes to “https.” The “s” represents “secure.”
Updates to this Privacy Notice
We may change or update portions of this Privacy Notice at any time and without prior notice to you. However, if there is an update to this Privacy Notice, it will not reduce the level of privacy protection. Please check back from time to time so you are aware of any changes or updates to the Notice. We will indicate above the effective date of the Notice.
How to Contact Us
If you would like us to (i) tell you about the personal information we process about you, (ii) rectify your data, (iii) delete your information, (iv) withdraw your consent given for processing of personal data, (v) remove your information from our mailing lists, or if you have any questions about our information practices, please contact us by:
