Effective Date: MAY 7, 2009

Welcome to the SGS Remote Approval customer web portal (the “Site”) owned and operated by SGS International, Inc., a global leader in providing package designs and packaging graphics to the consumer packaged goods industry (“SGS” or “we”).  The purpose of this Policy is to inform users of the Site (“you”) as to: (1) what information we may collect from or about you in connection to your use of the Site; (2) how we may use and share such information; and (3) your rights and choices regarding such information.  This Policy constitutes an integral part of the terms and conditions that govern the use of the Site.

PLEASE READ THIS POLICY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SITE.  By using the Site, you, on behalf of yourself and the business entity which you are representing or are affiliated with, acknowledge that you have read and understand this Policy in its entirety, and agree to be bound by its terms. 

 

SPECIAL PURPOSE OF THE SITE

 

The Site is intended for access and use solely by SGS clients and users that have registered on the Site or have been authorized by the SGS clients to access and use the Site using the SGS client’s password and/or username, and is not designed or intended for the general public.  SGS does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13.  In any event, no one under the age of 18 is permitted to register on the Site or use or access the Site.  By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you or the business entity which you are representing or are affiliated with is a current client or customer of SGS, or has purchased or used SGS products or services within the last 12 calendar months at the time of your use. SGS reserves the right to cancel your registration and terminate and disallow your use of the Site at any time without warning, if we have any reason to believe that you have misrepresented the foregoing or that you are under the age of 18. 

 

Changes and updates

 

SGS reserves the right to change and update this Policy at any time in its sole discretion.  For example, SGS may amend this Policy to incorporate additional rules and policies as may be established by SGS from time to time, and/or to comply with or adopt any changes in law or industry practices.  If we make changes to this Policy, we will announce and post such changes on the Site.  We may also notify you of such changes via email and may ask you to affirmatively consent to and accept the changes at the time of your next account login on the Site.  By continuing to use the Site after such notice and/or consent, you are bound by our Privacy Policy as modified.

 

COLLECTION AND USE OF Information about you

 

1.         Personal Information.  This is any information by which you can be personally identified.  When you register on the Site, you will be required to provide certain personal information to us, which may include your first name, last name, title, company, mailing address, email address, telephone number, mobile phone number, mobile phone service provider, and system preferences.  Also, in such case, you will be required to provide a username and password for your account login.  The foregoing information will make up your account and profile information on the Site.  We collect and use the aforementioned personal information for our internal purposes only, including, but not limited to: (1) operating, maintaining, administering and monitoring the Site; (2) setting up, maintaining, monitoring and supporting your account on the Site; (3) processing your orders and transactions; (4) providing you with products and services requested by you; (5) enabling you to view, submit, upload, download, store, transmit and exchange transaction and project documents on the Site, such as purchase orders, artwork files, reference documents, logos, CAD drawings, quotes, price lists, and invoices; (6) notifying and communicating with you on matters and issues concerning the Site, your account, and your activities on the Site; (7) responding to your questions and requests; and (8) sending you, subject to your right to opt-out, our electronic newsletters, advertisements, and promotional/marketing emails and announcements (collectively “Electronic Mailings”).

 

2.         Log File Data and Cookie Session Information.  Our web server automatically generates log files that may contain data linked to individual users, such as their IP addresses, ISP domain names, browser types, operating systems, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, clickstream data, etc.  Also, to the extent you have enabled “cookies” in your browser, we may use “cookies” to collect session information about your visits to the Site.  We use log file data and cookie session information internally for the operation of the Site as well as to generate and analyze aggregate data about our users as a group.  If we report information about the Site to our partners, sponsors and investors, we only report aggregate data and not information that is linked to individual users. 

 

3.         Aggregate Data.  This is any information collected or compiled in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually.  For example, we may collect aggregate tracking information derived mainly from tallying page views throughout the Site.  Also, we may gather or compile demographic and/or other aggregate data about our users as a group.  We use aggregate data to administer and monitor the Site, to analyze Site traffic and usage patterns and trends, to improve the functionality of the Site, and to enable us to personalize and better users’ experience on the Site.  We may report aggregate data about the Site to our partners, sponsors and investors, and may also share such data with outside vendors for market analysis, marketing and/or promotional purposes.

By registering on the Site or otherwise voluntarily disclosing your personal information to us, you acknowledge and agree that we may share and disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:

 

§           We may employ outside contractors, vendors and service providers to perform services for us in connection with the Site, and may share your personal information with such contractors, vendors and service providers to the extent necessary for them to perform such services.  For example: IT service providers may be given access to your personal information as necessary to perform support and/or maintenance for the operation of the Site, such as data backup and storage.  We require that our contractors, vendors and service providers limit their use of our users’ personal information solely to the purposes for which it was disclosed by us, and that they maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of such information and not make any further disclosure to others.

§           We may disclose your personal information to others as required or permitted by law or in response to a court or government order or subpoena or, in our good faith belief, as reasonably necessary to: (1) comply with legal process, or cooperate with law enforcement; (2) enforce this Policy and/or other terms and conditions governing the use of the Site; (3) respond to third-party infringement claims relating to any information or material you furnish to us; (4) respond to an emergency; and/or (5) protect the rights, property or safety of SGS, the Site, and/or the public.

Cookies

 

The Site may use cookies, which is a small encrypted data string stored on your computer or device.  Cookies help us deliver content specific to your interests and permit our servers to recall information from your previous visits to the Site.  We may use internally for the operation of the Site information collected from cookies together with personal information disclosed by you.  We do not, however, use cookies to access information on your computer or device.  Most Internet browsers allow you to adjust the settings to prevent cookies from being stored on your computer or device.
