Our Privacy Policy

Unified IoT Ltd respects your right to privacy. This policy summarises what personal information we may collect, how we may use this information, and other important topics relating to your privacy and data protection.

It is the policy of Unified IoT Ltd to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws. This commitment reflects the value we place on earning and keeping the trust of our customers, business partners and others who share their personal information with us.

This Policy applies to all Internet sites and mobile applications operated by or on behalf of Unified IoT Ltd and includes Unified IoT Ltd entities worldwide (each a “Unified IoT Ltd Internet Site or App”). It also applies to personal information Unified IoT Ltd may otherwise collect: (i) through our products and services; (ii) when you interact with us by means other than a Unified IoT Ltd Internet Site or App, for example, in person, by telephone, or at a trade show or training; and (iii) from our customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, and other business partners (collectively “Business Partners”).

However, different Unified IoT Ltd Internet Sites, Apps, products, and services have different purposes and features. If additional or different disclosures are required for a specific Unified IoT Ltd Internet Site, App, product, or service, then we provide those disclosures separately on, or with, the relevant Internet Site, App, product, or service. Each such specific privacy disclosure, policy, or statement (“Specific Privacy Statement”) supplements and amends this Policy.

not use your personal information for direct marketing purposes without giving you an opportunity to “opt-out”; and
take appropriate measures, by contract or otherwise, to provide adequate protection for personal information that is disclosed to a third party or transferred to another country, including transfers within Unified IoT Ltd.

More Information

Unified IoT Ltd Internet Sites use “session cookies.” A session cookie does not identify you personally and expires after you close your browser. For example, when you use the Unified IoT Ltd Product Catalogue, we place a session cookie to note what pages you have viewed. We can use this information to provide you recommendations of other products that may be of interest.
Unified IoT Ltd Internet Sites also use “persistent cookies.” These cookies do not expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your computer until you delete them or they expire. By assigning your computer a unique identifier, we are able to create a database of your previous choices and preferences which can be provided by us automatically, saving you time and effort on future visits. For example, after you make a purchase, if you decide to make another purchase, your shipping address may have been retained and will only need to be confirmed.
Certain countries require your consent to the use of cookies when you visit Unified IoT Ltd Internet Sites. If you access a Unified IoT Ltd Internet Site for one of these countries, you will be presented with information regarding your options, including the option to accept or reject certain categories of cookies. You will be able to change these settings on subsequent visits. Please note that you will not be able to opt out of receiving certain cookies that are strictly necessary for the delivery of a service requested by you.
At any time when visiting a Unified IoT Ltd Internet Site for one of these countries, clicking on the “Cookie Preferences” link at the bottom of each page allows you to access information on cookies and change your settings.
Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit a Unified IoT Ltd Internet Site, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of the site if you reject certain cookies.
In addition, your browser may allow you to adjust settings to accept or reject cookies, or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer.

The websites for these groups provide more information on interest-based online advertising and how to opt out of receiving interest-based online ads from participating companies.
