This Policy is not applicable to information collected offline or via channels other than our website. Please read this Policy carefully.

Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

When you interact with our website, for example by ordering a product or service, subscribing to a newsletter, or registering to use our Customer Portal, you may be asked to provide your name, email address, payment information, or other details to help us improve your experience. When website visitors submit one of our webforms, we collect and use that data for our own business purposes, such as improving our products and services. If you contact us directly, we may receive additional personal data, including any information in your communication to us or other information you choose to provide to us. We also use online technologies to collect visitors’ IP addresses and browser user agent strings to help detect and prevent spam.

We use the personal data we collect in various ways, including to:

Personalize your experience and allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings that may be of most interest to you;
Improve our website, products, and services in order to better serve you;
Better respond to your customer service requests;
Quickly process your transactions;
Communicate with you, including to provide you with updates and other information relating to our products and services and for marketing and promotional purposes; and
Send transactional emails regarding your order.

We also may use your personal data for other permitted purposes with appropriate notice or consent.

Media, Embedded Content, and Use of Personal Data by Other Parties

Articles on this website may include embedded content (such as videos, images, and articles) created by other parties or linked from other websites. Embedded content from other websites may be used by other parties to collect personal data about you, including through the use of cookies and tracking technologies, and to monitor your interactions with that embedded content even on our website.

Note that this Policy does not apply to the actions or privacy practices of others. We advise you to consult their privacy policies for information about their privacy practices, including their instructions about how to opt out of certain personal data uses and other rights you may have.

Disclosure of Personal Data

We may disclose your personal data as reasonably necessary to our affiliates, business partners, and vendors who help us to operate our business and the website.

In the event of a business transaction, such as if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (for example, as part of a merger, reorganization, liquidation, or any other business transaction, including negotiations of such transactions), we reserve the right to disclose any personal data.

We may disclose personal data as permitted or required by law, for example, in response to a subpoena, search warrant, or where we determine that disclosure of specific information is reasonably necessary to comply with the request of a law enforcement or regulatory agency or other legal process. We also may disclose personal data to enforce our policies or to protect legal rights, property, or safety.

Your Choices

Unsubscribing from Email Marketing. If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails or newsletters from us, please click on the unsubscribe link in the relevant email or email us at info@summitinterconnect.com. If you opt out of marketing emails, we may still send you transactional emails, such as those related to your purchases.

Privacy Rights. The laws in some states, countries, and regions – including those in California as well as the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”) – may give you specific additional rights related to your personal data. Depending on your location or residency, you may have the right to ask that we do one or more of the following:

Give you additional information about our use of your personal data;
Let you access the specific personal data we have about you;
Transfer a copy of your personal data to you or someone else you select;
Delete all or some of your personal data;
Limit or restrict our use of your personal data;
Allow you to object to, opt out of, or withdraw your consent to our use of your personal data; or
Give you information about and object to our reasons for processing personal data.

Please note that privacy rights requests will generally be subject to an identity verification process. We may ask you for specific information to help us confirm your identity prior to processing your request. Please follow any instructions provided and promptly respond to any follow-up inquiries so that we may confirm your identity and respond to your request. If you ask that we give you access to specific pieces of personal data or that we delete or correct certain types of personal data, we may apply heightened verification standards, which can require additional proof of your identity.

Only you, or someone you authorize to act for you, may make a request related to your personal data. If you designate an authorized agent to make a request for you, we may still need to verify your identity directly with you before your request can be processed.

We are not required to comply with your privacy rights request to the extent that doing so would violate our or any other person’s rights or conflict with applicable law. We may be permitted to deny your privacy rights request for other reasons. If we refuse your privacy rights request, in whole or in part, we will explain why.

You, or someone you authorize, can submit privacy rights requests by sending us an email at info@summitinterconnect.com or by mail at Summit Interconnect, 18101 Von Karman Ave, Suite 1650, Irvine, CA 92612. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your lawful privacy rights. If you want to submit a complaint or appeal our decision related to your privacy rights request, you may contact us using the information above or respond to any email communication from us regarding your privacy rights request. We will do our best to address and resolve your questions or concerns.
