We have outlined our privacy policy below.

We are committed to conducting our business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained. Startec’s may change this privacy policy from time to time at Startec’s sole discretion.

We do not automatically gather any personal information from you, such as your name, phone number, email, or address.

Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job have access to personal information. Email transmission and messages sent via the internet can be accessed by other Internet users. If you want to keep certain information confidential you may contact us by telephone, in person, or via mail.

• the page from which you arrived,

• the name and size of the file you request.

This information is collected in order to help make our site more useful to visitors, to learn about the number of visitors to our site, and to learn about the types of technology our visitors use. We do not track information about individuals and their visit.

Cookies

We may use ‘cookies’ that identify you as a return visitor. A cookie is a piece of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then store the cookie on your hard drive.

If you agree to receive e-mail communications from us, every e-mail message we send you will include an e-mail address to which you can respond.
