Privacy Policy

VIA is committed to protecting your privacy online. This Privacy Policy applies to personal information which is collected and used by VIA, which includes all companies in the VIA group of companies (together "VIA", "we", "our" or "us"). Please read the following to learn what information we collect from you and how we use that information. If you have any questions about this policy, please email us, embedded@via.com.tw , or write to the address given below.

Please note that by accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to be bound to all the terms of this Privacy Policy and our website Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, do not continue using the website.

Types of Information Collected and Uses of Collected Information

We collect several types of personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information:

a) Personally identifiable information – this may include your name, address, email address, and telephone number. We collect this when you subscribe to a newsletter, download products such as drivers, provide feedback, send email enquiries and/or participate in another part of the website.

In general, you can visit the website without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself; however, some online activities such as promotional events may require you to provide some personal information in order to participate.

b) Non-personally identifiable information – this type of information does not identify a specific end-user, and may include the Uniform Resource Locator ('URL') of the website you visited before coming to our website, or of the website you visit after leaving our website, the type of browser you are using and your Internet Protocol ('IP') address. We may automatically collect this information when you visit our website through the use of electronic tools like "cookies" and Web beacons.

Use of Personal Information

We may use the personal information we collect via the website for any of the following purposes: developing, enhancing and personalising our services and the website; dealing with your inquiries and requests; allowing you to take part in promotional events; sending you newsletters, and considering you for employment at VIA if you are applying for a job.

Controlling Your Information

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. If you have any questions about this policy, please email us, embedded@via.com.tw, or write to the address given below.

If we send you promotional emails, such as the VIA newsletter or eDM, each message will include instructions on how to "unsubscribe" from that communication. Alternatively, you can email us, embedded@via.com.tw, and request to be unsubscribed. If you write to us, please give your name, your email address, and the name of the newsletter or promotional email you no longer wish to receive.

Release of Information

VIA is committed to taking reasonable steps to protect the personal information that you provide. We will not disclose your personal information that we collect from the website to any third parties without your consent, except to employees and independent contractors of VIA, to and between companies within the VIA group, and other service providers and suppliers if the disclosure will enable that party to perform a business, professional, or technical support function for VIA or to perform a service that you have requested; or where you give us permission to disclose your personal data to third parties selected by us. We will also disclose information if required to do so to comply with a legal requirement or order, or where we deem it necessary, in our sole discretion, or to protect our legal rights or property or the legal rights or property of an individual who registers with the website or any third party.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any personal information about you that we pass to a third party will be held securely by that party and only be used for the purposes for which it was provided to them.

Privacy Policy of Third Party Websites

The website contains links to websites belonging to third parties. Those external websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy and we are not responsible for the privacy practices within any of these other websites. You should be aware of this when you leave the website and we encourage you to read the privacy statements of other websites.

Security of Information

VIA is dedicated to protecting your privacy online and will make every reasonable effort to keep your information secure. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we employ reasonable security measures to protect data and seek to partner with companies which do the same, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from the website, and are not responsible for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such information.

We may revise the terms of this Privacy Policy at any time by updating this posting. We encourage you to read this policy from time to time to ensure that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances.
