This information is used to understand better and improve the usability, performance, and effectiveness of the website. Please read the “Cookies” section below for more details.
SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
MECHteam does not sell or rent your Personal Information to third parties for marketing purposes.
MECHteam may share your Personal Information within MECHteam or any of our related companies worldwide for the purposes of data processing or storage.
MECHteam may also share your Personal Information with business partners or contractors to provide a requested service or transaction, including processing orders, processing credit card transactions, hosting websites, hosting event and seminar registration and providing customer support. MECHteam will only provide these third parties with the minimum amount of Personal Information necessary to complete the requested service or transaction, and the third parties are not permitted to use your Personal Information except for the limited purpose of completing the requested service or transaction. MECHteam may respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal processes by disclosing your Personal Information and other related information, if necessary. MECHteam may also choose to establish or exercise their legal rights or defend against legal claims.
MECHteam may collect and possibly share Personal Information and any other additional information available to us to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of MECHteam’s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
While navigating MECHteam’s website you may be directed to content or functionality hosted by a third-party supplier, not on MECHteam.com. This is typically done to host special events, such as contests or to organise online payments. When information is collected on behalf of MECHteam exclusively, MECHteam’s privacy policy will be referenced on the site and will govern how your information is used. For other non-MECHteam sites, the site owner’s privacy policy will be referenced. It is MECHteam’s practice to require such suppliers to handle information in a manner consistent with MECHteam’s privacy and security policies.
MECHteam will ask for your consent before using or sharing your information for any purpose other than the reason you provided it or as otherwise provided by this policy. In order to let MECHteam know your preferences, MECHteam will require an action on your part, such as checking the appropriate option, to indicate your consent.
SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
MECHteam is committed to protecting the Personal Information you share with them. MECHteam utilises a combination of industry-standard security technologies, procedures, and organisational measures to help protect your Personal Information from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure.
When MECHteam transfers sensitive personal data (for example, credit card information) over the Internet, MECHteam protects it using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. While MECHteam strives to protect your Personal Information, MECHteam cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit.
MECHteam recommend you to take every precaution in protecting your Personal Information when you are on the Internet. For example, change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers when creating passwords, and make sure you use a secure browser. Please visit the Linksys website for more tips for using security features when connected to the Internet using a router.

Like many websites, MECHteam uses technologies such as cookies and web beacons to make your visit easier, more efficient, and more valuable by providing you with a customised experience and recognising you when you return.
A cookie cannot read personal data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites; indeed, the only Personal Information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. Accepting the cookies used on the MECHteam website may give MECHteam access to information about your browsing behaviour, which may be used to personalise your experience and track user traffic patterns and to merge this info when you register. MECHteam does this in order to determine the usefulness of their website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.

Other MECHteam web pages, particularly those that require login and password, require cookies and cannot be used when you have disabled cookies in your browser. In addition, MECHteam uses web beacons in conjunction with cookies to understand user behaviour. Web beacons are simply a convenient way of gathering basic statistics and managing cookies, and do not give away any extra information from your computer. Turning off your browser’s cookies will prevent web beacons from tracking your specific activity.
