Non-Personal Information Collected Automatically

Nokia is committed to the protection of the privacy of its site visitors. Please note that we may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third parties, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information.

Personal Information

In order to respond to your questions, fulfill your requests or manage customer programs, it may be necessary to ask for personal information such as your name, address, e-mail address and telephone number. We may use this information to respond to your requests, or to contact you via mail, e-mail or phone to inform you of new products, services or promotions we may offer in accordance with applicable law. If you place an order for a product, request a service or submit content to this site, we may need to contact you for additional information required to process or fulfill your order and/or request. However, unless compelled by applicable legislation, we will not provide this information to a third party without your permission, except as necessary to process your order, fulfill your requests or manage customer programs and improve Nokia services and products. You also hereby grant to Nokia the right to exchange any information provided by you between Nokia’s affiliates for the purposes mentioned before.

Security

Please note that while there are always risks associated with providing personal data, whether in person, by phone or over the Internet, and no system of technology is completely safe, “tamper” or “hacker- proof”, Nokia has endeavoured to take appropriate measures to prevent and minimize risks of unauthorized access to, improper use and the inaccuracy of your personal information. For example, we use encryption technology when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.

Accuracy of collected data

Nokia will on its own initiative, or at your request, replenish, rectify or erase any incomplete, inaccurate or outdated personal data retained by Nokia in connection with the operation of this Site

Visitor identification

In general, you can use this Site for informational purposes without telling Nokia who you are and without providing Nokia any personal information about yourself. From time to time, however, Nokia or its third-party designees may place information on your computer to allow Nokia to collect certain data. This information is commonly known as "cookies" and many Web sites use them and their use for such purposes has become commonplace in the industry. Cookies are pieces of data stored on your computer's hard drive, and not on this Site. Nokia and/or its third-party designees will only view information put on your computer in cookies set by Nokia and/or its third-party designees from this Site or other Nokia Web sites.

The use of cookies provides benefits to you, such as eliminating the need for you to enter your password frequently during a session, or re-enter items you place in your shopping cart, if any on this Site, from visit to visit if you do not finish a transaction on an earlier visit. The information is not personally identifiable; in other words, cookies identify your computer, but not you personally. By showing how and when our visitors use this Site or other Nokia sites, Nokia can continue to improve them. If you do not wish to receive cookies, or want to be notified of when they are placed, you may set your Web browser to do so, if your browser so permits. Please understand that if cookies are turned off, you may not be able to view certain parts of this Site that may enhance your visit, nor will you be able to download certain content and/or engage in certain transactions on this Site.

Also, this Site may use other technology that lets Nokia collect certain technical information, including your Internet protocol address, your computer's operating system, your browser type and the address of any referring Web sites for purpose of improving Nokia's service.

Minors

No information may be submitted to Nokia by persons under applicable age limitations or recommendations or who are under the legal age in their country. In the event you are a minor or underaged person, you will need a consent from you parent(s) or other legal guardian(s) for using this Site and any services, making any purchases or engaging in any other legal actions, unless such activities are permitted by applicable legislation.

Within the United States, no information may be submitted to this Site, or any purchase transactions be engaged in, by any person under the age of 16, and Nokia requests minors of the age 16 and above in the United States not to submit information to this Site or participate in this Site’s Services, without obtaining the prior written consent of their parent or legal guardian. To obtain and submit such consents, please follow the instructions contained in this Site’s Usage Terms and other applicable terms and instructions.
