Privacy Policy
Summary of Key Points
1. Information We Collect
What information do we collect?
Information you provide directly
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you express interest in our products or services, participate in activities on our site, or contact us. This may include your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address.
We do not process sensitive personal information.
All personal information you provide must be accurate and complete. Please notify us of any changes.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain technical information that does not directly identify you — such as your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, and usage patterns. This information is used to maintain security, operate the site, and support internal analytics.
Specific data collected automatically includes log and usage data (timestamps, pages viewed, feature use, error reports), device data (hardware model, OS, ISP, browser), and location data (derived from IP address or device GPS, depending on your settings).
Like most websites, we also collect data through cookies and similar technologies. You can disable location sharing or cookies through your device or browser settings, though this may limit some site functionality.
Google API
Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
2. How We Use Your Information
How do we process your information?
We process your personal information to provide, improve, and administer our services, communicate with you, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your prior explicit consent.
Specific purposes include responding to your inquiries and support requests, and protecting vital interests when necessary to prevent harm.
3. Legal Bases for Processing
What legal bases do we rely on?
We only process your personal information when we have a valid legal reason to do so. Depending on your location, this may include:
- Consent. When you have given us explicit permission to use your data for a specific purpose. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Performance of a contract. When processing is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you.
- Legal obligations. When required to comply with applicable law, cooperate with a regulatory body, or defend our legal rights.
- Vital interests. When necessary to protect the safety of any person.
If you are in the EU or UK
The GDPR and UK GDPR require us to identify the legal basis for processing your personal information. The bases listed above apply to our processing activities. If you believe we are processing your data unlawfully, you have the right to complain to your Member State data protection authority or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
If you are in Canada
We process your information based on express or implied consent, which you may withdraw at any time. In limited exceptional circumstances, applicable law may permit us to process data without consent — for example, for fraud investigation, legal proceedings, or other purposes specified by regulation.
6. Data Retention
How long do we keep your information?
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, for tax, accounting, or legal obligations).
When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your data, we delete or anonymize it. If deletion is not immediately possible (for example, data stored in backup archives), we isolate it from further processing until deletion is feasible.
7. Data Security
How do we keep your information safe?
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information. That said, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your data, transmission to and from our site is at your own risk. Please access our services only from secure environments.
8. Minors
Do we collect information from minors?
No. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or market to individuals under 18 years of age. By using our services, you confirm you are at least 18, or that you are the parent or guardian of a minor using the services with your consent.
If we learn that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will deactivate the account and promptly delete the information. To report such a case, contact us at info@appliedmotionsystems.com.
9. Your Rights
What are your privacy rights?
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection law, including the right to access, correct, restrict, or delete your personal information, and to data portability. Where decisions affecting you are made solely by automated means, we will inform you, explain the key factors, and provide a way to request human review.
To exercise your rights, contact us using the details in Section 13. We will consider and act on requests in accordance with applicable law.
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, and believe your data is being processed unlawfully, you may file a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Withdrawing consent
If our processing relies on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Opting out of marketing
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us. We may still send service-related messages necessary for account administration.
10. Do-Not-Track
Controls for Do-Not-Track features
Most browsers offer a Do-Not-Track (DNT) setting. Because no uniform standard for recognizing and honoring DNT signals has been established, we do not currently respond to DNT signals or similar mechanisms. If an industry standard is adopted that we are required to follow, we will update this policy accordingly.
California law requires us to disclose our DNT practices. As noted above, we do not currently honor DNT signals.
11. US Residents
Do United States residents have specific privacy rights?
If you reside in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have additional privacy rights under state law, including rights to access, correct, copy, or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent.
