Our web servers may also place a "cookie" (a small data file) on your computer’s hard drive which allows the server to identify the computer when it visits again in order to track statistical information about navigation to and throughout certain areas of our site. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any personal data. The information that is tracked is used only for internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation. Any information obtain is never shared with anyone outside of Switch Components Inc., its affiliates and/or independent contractors who help us to design and manage a better website (who are engaged with a signed confidentiality agreement). However, if you prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your browser to reject them or to alert you before one is placed.
In addition, there are certain private areas of the Switch Components Inc. website where we do require you to register your e-mail address, your name, your company’s name and your address and zip code before granting access to these areas. Some of the information in these areas is considered proprietary to Switch Components Inc. and it is in Switch Components Inc.’s best interest to understand who is gaining access to these private areas.

When other information is collected from you, such as your name and e-mail address, we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal information.

This information is never shared with any other company or persons outside Switch Components Inc.
We may use some of the provided information (via the site registration process), such as your name and e-mail address, to send you product and/or application information by e-mail from time to time. There is always an “opt-out” feature attached to any e-mail that we send to you effectively removing you from our email list and preventing you from getting any such e-mail notifications in the future.
