We Respect Your Right To Privacy
Phybridge Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Phybridge” or “We”) strongly believe in your right to privacy, and are committed to preserving your right through the implementation of this Privacy Policy. We have structured this policy to reflect this core belief and put you in control of how your personal information (“Personal Information”) is processed, the information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information, recorded in any media or form, about an identifiable individual (including name, telephone number, and email address) but does not generally include business contact information.

This Privacy Policy applies to Phybridge, but it does not apply to the websites of our business partners (i.e. any subcontractor, vendor or other entity with whom we have an ongoing business relationship to provide products, services or information) or to any other third parties, even if their websites are linked to our website. We recommend that You review the privacy policies of the other parties with whom you interact.

Before we collect any personally identifiable information, we will provide an explanation for the possible use of your data. The information You supply will be used by Phybridge or our business partners (i.e. value added resellers & distributors) to respond to your inquiries, and supply You with requested information on Phybridge’s products or services.
Phybridge will only collect personally identifiable information (such as name, title, company name, address, telephone number, credit card information or e-mail address) that You voluntarily provide through our Site or email correspondence.
