Other SONIQ and SONIQ Co-branded sites may operate under their own privacy and security policies.
SONIQ only asks for specific types of personal information
In a few areas on our Web site and online customer support tools, we ask you to provide information that will enable us to enhance your site visit, to assist you with technical support issues or to follow up with you after your visit. It is completely optional for you to participate.

For example, we request information from you when you:

• Provide feedback in an online survey
• Participate in a sweepstakes or other promotional offer

In each of the instances above, we may ask for your name, e-mail address, phone number, address, type of business, customer preference information, customer number and service tag number, as well as other similar personal information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. If we ever ask for significantly different information we will inform you. In the case of newsletters or mailing lists, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.

It has always been a SONIQ practice to contact customers in the event of a potential problem with your purchase or any normal business communication regarding your purchase.

CUSTOMISED EXPERIENCE

New technologies are emerging on the Internet that help us deliver customised visitor experiences. At SONIQ, we primarily use "cookies" to help us determine which service and support information is appropriate to your machine and to maintain your shopping experience in our online store. Our use of this technology does not mean that we automatically know any information about you. We might be able to ascertain what type of computer you are using, but beyond that, our use of cookies is designed only to provide you with a better experience when using www.soniq.com. SONIQ has no desire or intent to infringe on your privacy while using the www.soniq.com sites.
Cookies can be either "persistent" or "session" based. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer, contain an expiration date, and may be used to track your browsing behaviour upon return to the issuing web site. Session cookies are short-lived, are used only during a browsing session, and expire when you quit your browser.

ACCESS TO INFORMATION COLLECTED

SONIQ will not make an attempt to identify users or their browsing activities. However, in the unlikely event of an investigation, a law enforcement agency or other government agency may exercise its legal authority to inspect SONIQ's or our Internet Service Provider's logs.
You can opt-out of receiving further marketing from SONIQ at any time
We will send you information about our various products and services, or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. Only SONIQ (or agents working on behalf of SONIQ and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information.
