MEDION USA, Inc. ("MEDION," "we," "us") recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of our customers. This privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") describes the types of information about you that MEDION collects and the ways in which it processes and otherwise uses such information. By visiting the MEDION website (the "Site") and/or using MEDION's services, you agree to accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you have entered into any other agreements with us (such as a sales or service agreement), different and/or additional terms and conditions may apply as set forth in such agreement.

This Privacy Policy is the sole authorized statement of MEDION's practices with respect to the online collection of personally identifiable information and the usage of such information. Any summaries of this Privacy Policy generated by third party software or otherwise (for example, in connection with the "Platform for Privacy Preferences" or "P3P") shall have no legal effect, are in no way binding upon MEDION, shall not be relied upon in substitute for this Privacy Policy, and neither supersede nor modify this Privacy Policy.

Please note that MEDION reviews its privacy practices from time to time, and that those practices are, therefore, subject to change. We ask that you bookmark and periodically review this page to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of our Privacy Policy. To contact MEDION about privacy issues, to report a violation of our Privacy Policy or to raise any other issue, please e-mail us at webmaster@medionusa.com.

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
In connection with our customers' use of the Site and services MEDION may collect certain data and other information about its customers ("Customer Information"). Customer Information may include, without limitation, the following:

1. Personally Identifiable Information. We collect personal information that you provide voluntarily for specific purposes, such as when you send an email to us. Such information may include, for example, your name, address, and email address. If you contact us, by email or regular mail, we may keep a record of your correspondence.
2. Financial Information. MEDION may collect and retain certain financial information from you, such as a credit card number, credit card expiration date, billing address and other account information (including dates and times of purchase of any services, dates, times and amounts of any payments and refunds and information regarding the means of payment).
3. Web site use information. When visitors come to the Site, we collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things, which pages of the Site were visited; the date, time and order in which they were visited; and which hyperlinks were "clicked." Collecting such information involves the logging of the IP addresses, operating system and browser software used by each visitor to the MEDION site. We may be able to determine from such information a visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity.
4. Cookies. MEDION and its third party advertising partners also use "cookies" - that is, small text files placed on a user's computer hard drive - to help us and such partners determine the type of content and sites to which a visitor to the Site links, the length of time each visitor spends at any particular area of the Site and the MEDION services visitors choose to use. Cookies also tell us and our partners which advertising a visitor has seen on our site. Essentially, cookies are a visitor's identification card for the MEDION computers, or servers, that placed them there. Cookies allow MEDION and our partners to serve you better and more efficiently, and to personalize your experience at the Site. Nevertheless, you should be able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web browser. For more information on how to do so, please refer to the documentation accompanying your browser.
5. Children. MEDION does not knowingly collect personally identifiable.
information from children under 13 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age, you may not use the MEDION site without parental consent.

USE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION
MEDION will not disclose, use, copy, distribute, publish, modify or otherwise process (collectively "Process") any Customer Information submitted by you in a manner incompatible with the purposes and limitations set forth herein. MEDION may share with third parties and Process or allow Processing by third parties of Customer Information as reasonably deemed necessary or useful by MEDION in connection with its services or other purposes not inconsistent herewith, except to the extent expressly prohibited by applicable law. Keep in mind that, while MEDION encourages all third parties involved to adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our customers and to otherwise handle personal information in a responsible manner, we cannot and do not assume any responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties, including the manner in which they use information received either from MEDION or independently.

MEDION may engage other companies or individuals to perform various services, such as processing credit card payments, providing marketing assistance, providing customer service, sending you email and postal mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, and analyzing data.

MEDION may disclose Customer Information to, and permit further disclosure and Processing thereof by, our contractors, delegates, successors and assignees in a manner consistent herewith.
2. Disclosure required by law or for the protection of MEDION and others. In some circumstances, MEDION may be required by law, court order, or other governmental authority to disclose information about you.

We provide statistical information based on this data to advertisers, affiliates and other current and potential business partners.

In addition, if another company were to acquire all or substantially all of MEDION's assets, Customer Information would be among the acquired assets and accordingly would be disclosed to and Processed by such other company.
