Barco respects your privacy and is committed to protect the
personal information that you share with us. Generally, you
can browse through our website without giving us any information
about yourself. When we do need your personal information
to provide services that you request or when you choose to
provide us with your personal information, this policy describes
how we collect and use your personal information.
Collection of Information
Personal information (“Personal Information”)
means any information that may be used to identify an individual,
including, but not limited to the following: a first and last
name, email address, a home, postal or other physical address,
other contact information, title, birth date, gender, occupation,
industry, personal interests, other information when needed
to provide a service you requested.
When you browse our website, you do so anonymously, unless
you have previously indicated that you wish Barco to remember
your login and password. We don't collect Personal Information,
including your email address. We may log your IP address (the
Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which
part of our website you visit and how long you spend there.
But we do not link your IP address to any Personal Information
unless you have logged in to our website. Like many other
commercial websites, the Barco website may use a standard
technology called a "cookie" to collect information
about how you use the site.
Barco collects Personal Information when you register with
Barco for a Barco account, when you use certain Barco products
or services, when you register participate in an online survey,
when you ask to be included in an email or other mailing list,
or you submit an entry for promotions, or when you submit
your information to Barco for any other reason. From time
to time, Barco receives personal information from business
partners and vendors. Barco only uses such information if
it has been collected in accordance with acceptable privacy
practices consistent with this Policy and applicable laws.
Access to certain Barco web pages require a login and a password.
The use of those web pages, and the information or programs
downloadable from those sites, may be governed by a written
agreement between your employer and Barco. Your personal information
may be retained by Barco to verify compliance with the agreement,
log software licenses granted, to track software downloaded
from those pages, or track usage of other applications available
on those pages.
Notice
When personal information is collected, we will inform you
at the point of collection the purpose for the collection.
Barco does not intend to transfer your personal information
to third parties without your consent, except under the limited
conditions described under the discussion entitled "Information
Sharing and Disclosure" below.
If you choose to provide us with your personal information,
we may transfer that information, within Barco or to Barco's
third party service providers, including across borders and
from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions
around the world.
We will always give you the opportunity to "opt out"
of receiving direct marketing or market research information.
This means we assume you have given us your consent to collect
and use your information in accordance with this Policy unless
you take affirmative action to indicate that you do not consent,
for instance by clicking or checking the appropriate option
or box at the point of collection. In some cases, when applicable,
we will provide you with the opportunity to "opt in."
This means we will require your affirmative action to indicate
your consent before we use your information for purposes other
than the purpose for which it was submitted.

presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them
off in your browser, although you may not be able to take
