WHO SHOULD USE THIS SITE This Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from Site users in this age group. SCOPE OF PRIVACY POLICY / LINKS This Privacy Policy applies only to this Site. Although this Site may provide you with links to other websites, those websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Likewise, although we may provide links to websites that may be owned or operated by Jordan & Partner Büromöbel GmbH or its affiliated companies, this Privacy Policy does not apply to such websites. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit, including those websites to which we provide links. Whenever you link to a website from this Site (including whenever you click on a banner ad on this Site), you are solely responsible for any interactions you may have with that website. The information we collect Upon subscribing to the Jordan & Partner Vital-Office International Network, you will be asked to provide various personally identifiable information such as name, address, e-mail address, profession, date of birth, gender, telephone number, fax number, and general description about yourself and/or your work. ACTIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION At various points on this Site, you might choose to actively provide certain kinds of information, including personally identifiable information, such as full name, address, phone number, e-mail address, etc. We typically will indicate which information is required and which is optional at the information collection point in question. In any case, by submitting information via an active information collection point at this Site, you specifically consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Active information collection points at this Site may include: E-Mail Reply Mechanisms This Site may provide you with one or more e-mail reply mechanisms through which you may send us questions or comments. Information you provide to us via such e-mail reply mechanisms is typically all optional. We may retain whatever information you submit in your e-mail, including your name, e-mail address, and any comments or other information that you send via the e-mail reply mechanism. Because e-mail submitted via this Site is not protected by the same security measures we use in other areas where we actively collect information, you should be particularly careful in deciding what information you wish to send to us via e-mail. Question, Comment, and Feedback Forms This Site may post a form for you to use in submitting questions, comments, and other feedback about us, this Site, our products and services, and other topics. We use such feedback information to improve this Site and our products and services as well as for marketing and research purposes. Most information you provide in such forms is optional, but you will need to provide at least some personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, e-mail address, and phone number, so that we may respond to your inquiry. Product/Service Information or Quote Request Forms This Site may include a form for requesting information about, or price quotes on, our products and services. In addition to asking you to identify the products and services in which you are interested, these forms may request, among other things, your name, address, and e-mail address, so that we may send you the materials or price quote you request. We may also request certain demographic information about you to help us better understand your interests and needs. Surveys and Evaluations We may ask you to complete surveys and evaluations about us, this Site, our products and services, and other topics. These surveys might request personally identifiable information, such as your name and e-mail address, so that we can follow up with you. Employment Applications and Resume Submissions We may use this Site to post job openings. We may encourage you to submit your resume via e-mail or to complete an online employment application to be considered for potential employment opportunities.

Our online employment application requests certain types of personally identifiable information, including your name, address, e-mail address, and social security number, as well as your previous work experience and salary expectations. We may use and circulate this information internally as necessary to consider your application and to contact you regarding our decision. We may also use this information from time to time to inform you of other employment opportunities that may be of interest to you. Please contact us as specified below in the "Contact Us" section if you no longer wish to receive such information or be considered for employment opportunities. To comply with various government recordkeeping requirements, we may also ask you to provide certain other optional categories of information about yourself. Providing or not providing such information will not adversely affect your employment prospects, and such information will not become part of your employment application or employment file.

This may be accomplished through the use of a chat room, a bulletin or message board, or some other interactive forum. Please remember that any information you choose to share in a public forum will typically be viewed by other users of the Site, even where access to the area is restricted by certain criteria, and that such information may be preserved for future reference.

Please carefully consider whether you wish to share information with other users of the Site in this fashion. We are not responsible for the information you reveal in a public forum. Purchasing/Order Processing Information This Site allows you to purchase some of our products and services online. As a result, we gather certain personally identifiable information (e.g., your name and address) and financial information (e.g., your credit card number) to process your order. We may: (1) retain this information to create an account for later use (so that you do not need to re-enter the information for each subsequent order); (2) group your de-identified information with that of other Site users to provide information to us about group purchasing and preferences; and (3) share this information with business partners, related companies, dealers, and affiliates. Leasing Credit Application The Site may post an online credit application for businesses interested in leasing our products. Among other things, this application asks for your business's name, address, and phone number, the nature of your business, certain insurance information, and background information about the officers and owners of your business.

OTHER USES OF YOUR INFORMATION As indicated above, we use information we collect from you via this Site for a variety of purposes.
