We gather information about the users of the Site that may include both non-personally identifiable and personally identifiable information, for one or more of the following reasons, as applicable:

  • the need to process your personal information for contract performance or to take steps to enter into a contract with you;
  • compliance with our legal obligations and maintaining our rights under the terms of the contract(s);
  • Our legitimate business interests, including operating our business properly, marketing and improving our services, protecting against fraud and other liabilities, guaranteeing the security of our networks and systems;
Non-Personally Identifiable Information

When visitors come to the Site, we may collect and aggregate non-personally identifiable information indicating, among other things, which pages were visited, the order in which they were visited and which hyperlinks were clicked.

The non-personally identifiable information that we collect helps us, among other things, to monitor our internal operations, improve our services, identify the most popular areas of the Site and determine the effectiveness of our services and promotional activities. It also helps us make available higher quality and more useful online services by performing statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of the users of the Site, and by measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Site.

Personally Identifiable Information

When visitors come to the Site, we may also collect personally identifiable information, like the logging of IP addresses, which may also determine the visitor’s Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity.  Outside of IP address and geographic location, we do not collect any other information that personally identifies you unless you provide it. We explicitly ask for information that personally identifies you in the following instances, as applicable:

Registration

You may be asked to register before accessing certain areas on the Site. We may require specific contact information (this may include one, a number, or all of the following: your name, phone number, geographic location, company name and e-mail address). This information is used to contact you about the services you are requesting on the Site or as otherwise described in this Policy. We also may ask you for additional information (such as the hardware and operating system that you use), so we can give you a more customized experience and assess and improve our products. We may also collect information such as the computer equipment you are using, versions of the operating system, system software or platforms you are using.

Ordering Products

If you are ordering a product, you need to give us your contact information (such as your name and shipping address) and financial information (such as your credit card number and its expiration date). We use this information for billing purposes and to fulfill your order, and to contact you if we have trouble processing your order. We may also use this information to contact you regarding our products or services. This information may be gathered by phone with one of our sales representatives, or this information may be gathered online through our self-service support site that is available only to customers with a registered warranty at this link: support.overlandtandberg.com

We may ask for your contact information (such as your name and e-mail address) if you wish to subscribe to our newsletters.

Surveys and Contests

Overland Storage’s, Tandberg Data’s and Overland-Tandberg’s contact input forms (based on the marketing system vendor, Pardot), optionally respects the “Do Not Track” headers and does not use cookie-based tracking for any visitors with that setting enabled.

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy companies or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that Overland Storage, Inc. or Tandberg Data GmbH is acquired or sells some or all of its assets and/or subsidiaries, customer information might be one of the transferred assets.

Information Retention

We will retain your personal information as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, usually for the duration of any contractual relationship and for any period thereafter as legally required or permitted by applicable law.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or security of other sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by Overland Storage or Tandberg Data.

Security

When you submit personally identifiable information to us on the Site, your information is encrypted unless otherwise indicated. While on a secure page on our Site, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers such as Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer become “locked”, as opposed to unlocked or open, when you are just “surfing.”

You can choose to no longer receive email communications from us by contacting us at privacy@overlandtandberg.com or by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in the email communications sent to you, except that we may continue to communicate with you in order to provide services or products you have requested. Providing us with your personal information is optional, but if you choose not to provide this information, it may impact the Service that we can provide to you, as well as result in your product warranty being invalid.

You may also choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information by looking for checkboxes to indicate whether or not you want the information to be used by us or our third-party affiliates for direct marketing purposes when you complete forms on our website.

In some countries, you have the right to request access to, correction of, restriction of, and deletion of your personal information. You also have the right to request that we transmit to you or to another controller your personal information that you have provided to us for a contract or with your consent. You can also object to our processing of your personal information in certain cases. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

You can exercise any of these rights, if they apply to you, free of charge by contacting us at privacy@overlandtandberg.com. A data protection officer has been designated by our company to address such matters. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request if it is unfounded or excessive. When examining your claim, we will ask that you provide sufficient information to identify yourself before granting your request. In some cases, we may refuse to act or impose limitations on your rights, for instance if your request is likely to adversely affect the rights and freedom of our company and others, prejudice the execution or enforcement of the law, interfere with pending or future litigation, or violate applicable law.
