The Services of Control Techniques’ subsidiaries and affiliated companies are each owned, operated and provided by such subsidiaries and companies. This Privacy Notice ONLY governs the use of Services provided by Control Techniques companies that specifically link to this Privacy Notice. Services provided by other Control Techniques companies may link to or otherwise provide their own, separate notice.
Our privacy practices may vary among the countries in which we operate to reflect local practices and legal requirements.
By using the Services, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

We may share your information with our subsidiaries, affiliates and other third parties worldwide to inform you about products and offers that may be of interest to you, unless you have requested that we not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may also share your information with our service providers worldwide, who are required to treat your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Notice, as required by law and in certain other situations when using such service providers to provide information or services to you through our Services. Some countries or jurisdictions may not provide the same level of data protection as the country in which your Personal Information was originally collected, however we will take steps to continue to appropriately protect your Personal Information. |
Through your use of the Services, we may collect Personal Information from you if you choose to provide it, including without limitation:
We may collect your Personal Information or usage data from third parties, including without limitation:
We will apply the terms of our Privacy Notice to any Personal Information received from a third party, unless we have disclosed to you otherwise. Control Techniques is not responsible for these third parties' dissemination of your Personal Information.

We may also use your Personal Information in other ways that are consistent with the above-described purposes and to otherwise administer our websites and provide our Services to you.
Certain pages of our websites include the ability for people interested in working for Control Techniques or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates to find out more information about employment opportunities at Control Techniques, its affiliates and/or subsidiaries. To apply for open positions using our website, you must create an employment profile through our website, which includes the information that Control Techniques requests you to provide, and that you may choose to provide, to be considered for employment (the “Employment Applicant Information”).
Prior to creating an employment profile, you must affirmatively consent to the privacy terms governing the submission of your information to Control Techniques for employment purposes. The terms that you agree to in order to create an employment profile shall govern Control Techniques’ use of the information you provide to apply for employment. Control Techniques will use Employment Applicant Information for evaluation and hiring purposes, and communication in furtherance of the evaluation and hiring purposes.
We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your Personal Information, including assuring that third-party service providers who access or handle Personal Information on our behalf and affiliates maintain such safeguards.
However, no method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure or error-free, so it is not possible to guarantee absolute security. You must protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer, and be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (e.g., if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us by email at privacypolicy@mail.nidec.com.
Where we have given you or you have chosen a password which enables you to access certain portions of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should not share your password with anyone.

Unaffiliated third parties may use cookies and other technologies on our website to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites you visit in order to provide you with interest-based advertising. You can generally opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements from members of the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here for NAI and here for DAA. When you opt-out using these links, please note that you may still receive advertisements. They just will not be personalized based on your interests.
Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, our website does not currently interpret, respond to or alter its practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals. However, we do provide choices about what Control Techniques ads you receive through the opt-out links in the Cookies section above.
We only share your Personal Information with companies, organizations and individuals outside of Control Techniques as described below.
We may share aggregated data that has been anonymised (so that you are not identified) with third parties – like publishers, advertisers or connected websites – and may make this data publicly available. For example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services or products.
Our websites may offer publicly accessible blogs, message boards, or community forums. You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. You may request removal of your Personal Information from our blog, message board, or community forum by contacting us at privacypolicy@mail.nidec.com. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to remove your Personal Information from the identified blog, message board, or community forum. If we are unable to remove such Personal Information, we will notify you and provide the reason we are unable to take such action.
Our Services may contain links to social networking and other websites and mobile applications that are operated and controlled by third parties. While we try to link only to websites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we do not take responsibility for the content or the privacy practices employed by other websites. Unless otherwise stated, any Personal Information you provide to any such third party website will be collected by that party and not by us, and will be subject to that party’s privacy policy (if any), rather than this Privacy Notice. In such a situation, we will have no control over, and shall not be responsible for, that party’s use of the Personal Information you provide to them.
Personal Information collected through the Services may be stored on servers inside the EEA or in countries outside the EEA. By using any of our Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Notice, including the transfer of your information by Control Techniques to other countries where Control Techniques and its affiliates and subsidiaries operate.
