INTRODUCTION

The information we receive, and how we use it, depends on what you do when visiting our website. We collect and use your non-personal information (information that is not identifiable to you personally) differently than your personal information.

COOKIES

Our website uses a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a tiny element of data that our site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return. All pages on our site where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable may require that you accept cookies. If you have registered with our site, these cookies: (a) may let us know who you are, (b) are necessary to access your information (stored on our computer or yours) in order to deliver personalized services, and (c) will provide us and third parties we may contract with information that we will use to personalize our site in accordance with your preference. Our site may also use other technology such as "Clear GIFs" or "Web Beacons". This technology allows us to understand which pages you visited on our site. These tags are used to help us optimize and tailor our site for you and other future website visitors. These tags or cookies could be from a third party.

WHAT IS NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Non-personal information is information that we collect through this website that does not identify you as an individual person. It may include information such as the following:

• the name of the domain from which you access the Internet

If you visit our website to read or download information, such as information about one of our products, we may collect certain non-personal information about you from your computer. This information is collected from your computer's web browser. If you only read or download information on our website, we do not collect or learn your name, email address, home address, or other personal information about you.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Because non-personal information cannot identify you or be tied to you in any way, there are no restrictions on the ways that we can use or share non-personal information. We are always looking for ways to better serve you and improve this website. We will use non-personal information from you to help us make this website more useful to visitors. We will also use non-personal information for other business purposes. For example, we may use non-personal information or aggregate de-identified personal information to:

• create reports for internal use to develop programs, products, services or content
• customize the information or services that are of interest to you
• share it with or sell it to third parties
• provide aggregated "traffic statistics" and "response rates" to third parties

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

In some places on this website you have the opportunity to send us personal information about yourself. For example, you may fill out a registration form, a survey, or an email form.

Personal information is information we collect through this website that we can use to specifically identify you, such as your:

• for analytical purposes and to research, develop and improve programs, products, services and content
• to remove your personal identifiers (your name, email address, social security number, etc). In this case, you would no longer be identified as a single unique individual. Once we have de-identified information, it is non-personal information and we may treat it like other non-personal information.
• to enforce this Privacy Policy and other rules about your use of this website
• to protect our rights or property
• to protect someone's health, safety or welfare
• to comply with a law or regulation, court order or other legal process

We will not share your personal information collected from this website with an unrelated third party without your permission, except as otherwise provided in the Privacy Policy or as further set forth below.

In the ordinary course of business, we will share some personal information with companies that we hire to perform services or functions on our behalf. For example, we may use different vendors or suppliers to ship you products that you order on our website. In these cases, we provide the vendor with information to process your order such as your name and mailing address. In all cases in which we share your personal information with a third party, we will not authorize them to keep, disclose or use your information with others except for the purpose of providing the services we asked them to provide. In addition, we may hire a vendor for marketing assistance or research, and they may need some information to assist them in their process.

We will not sell, exchange or publish your personal information, except in conjunction with a corporate sale, merger, dissolution, or acquisition.

We may be legally compelled to release your personal information in response to a court order, subpoena, search warrant, law or regulation. We may cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting website visitors who violate our rules or engage in behavior which is harmful (or illegal) to other visitors.

• enforce this Privacy Policy and the other rules about your use of this website
• protect our rights or property
• protect someone's health, safety or welfare

WHAT ABOUT PRIVACY ON OTHER WEBSITES?

We provide the links for your convenience, but we do not review, control, or monitor the privacy practices of websites operated by others. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other website, except our website. We are not responsible for the performance of websites operated by third parties or for your business dealings with them. Therefore, whenever you leave this website we recommend that you review each website's privacy practices and make your own conclusions regarding the adequacy of these practices.

ARE THERE SPECIAL RULES ABOUT CHILDREN'S PRIVACY?

We care about protecting the online privacy of children. We will not intentionally collect any personal information (such as a child's name or email address) from children under the age of thirteen. If you think we have collected personal information from a child under the age of thirteen, please contact us.

WHAT ABOUT WEBSITE SECURITY?

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, email sent to or from this site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.

SAFE HARBOR PRIVACY POLICY

Enforcement and Dispute Resolution

We utilize the self-assessment approach to ensure compliance with our Privacy Policy.

We encourage interested persons to raise any concerns with us by emailing us through the contact form on this site or by mailing us at InterValve, Inc., 2445 Xenium Lane North Plymouth, MN 55441 Attn: Privacy Officer or General Counsel. We will investigate and attempt to resolve complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of personal information in accordance with the principles contained in this policy.

Claims arising out of or relating to our adherence to the Principles, or the breach thereof, that cannot be resolved through our internal processes after thirty (30) days may be settled by a binding independent recourse mechanism, the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), unless those claims relate to human resources data collected in Europe. Claims regarding human resources data collected in Europe will be resolved under the conflict resolution procedures of the appropriate local European Data Protection Authorities. The AAA and the European Data Protection Authorities provide dispute resolution services using a neutral arbitrator who will provide resolution of disputes under applicable rules. Written notice of arbitration shall be delivered to InterValve at the address above. AAA arbitrations will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, USA or other location agreed to by InterValve. Human resources data conflicts will be resolved in the home of the appropriate local Authority. Each party shall bear its own costs of arbitration. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive damages. For more information regarding AAA, please see http:/www.adr.org/drs. For more information regarding the various local European Data Protection Authorities, please see http://ec.europa.eu/justice_home/fsj/privacy/nationalcomm/index_en.htm.
