SMLC PRIVACY POLICY

This is the official privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) of the Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition, managed by Advanced Manufacturing International, Inc. (“AMI”) and forms part of our Terms of Use and together forms your agreement with us. Any terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meanings set forth in the Terms of Use. Our Privacy Policy does not supersede the Terms of Use but supplement its terms and conditions and is incorporated herein by reference. Any conflict between the two shall be determined in favor of the Terms of Use.

This Privacy Policy governs the personally identifiable information collected by us (“Personal Information”) and does not cover any other information.
Our privacy standards are designed to ensure that we will:

  • collect and use only the minimum necessary Personal Information required for us to deliver services to you and to let you know of products and services that are available;
  • protect your Personal Information, maintaining strict standards of security and confidentiality;
  • not disclose your Personal Information to any external organization unless we have previously notified you and obtained your consent;
  • require any other organization that we retain or engage to provide support services for us to conform to our privacy standards; and
  • make every effort to keep your Personal Information complete, up to date, and accurate.

Keeping your Personal Information secure and ensuring your understanding of how we use and maintain your Personal Information is important to us. SMLC maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your Personal Information and while no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure from intrusion, we have used and will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the protection of your Personal Information.

Your Personal Information and any data, personal or otherwise, that you disclose is used to provide services to you in a manner consistent with our Terms of Use as well as all applicable laws, rules, regulations and other legal obligations. We may from time to time, store such Personal Information in an electronic format as well as combine your Personal Information with information available from other sources.

Sometimes we may use your Personal Information to advise you of products or services that may be available through SMLC or its affiliate partners. You may choose to “opt-out” of receiving emails from us by sending us an email to info@advmfg.org. However, we may contact you via email for administrative or informational purposes, including follow-up messages regarding the administration of products or services you indicated an interest in or other transactions you have initiated with us.

We will not use any of your Personal Information for any purpose other than to provide services and as set forth in our Terms of Use, unless we provide advance notice to you of any other use. We will not share your Personal Information with any non-affiliated parties, unless you “opt-in”, except as otherwise stated within our Terms of Use or as otherwise necessary to provide services. We will share your Personal Information with our operational service providers that assist in delivering our services to you. You can always visit our website without submitting any Personal Information.

Although your privacy is very important to us, in this legal and technical environment, we cannot fully ensure that your Personal Information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may be compelled to disclose your Personal Information to a governmental agency or a court. Additionally, we may (and you authorize us to do so) disclose your Personal Information to private entities, law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries or to protect our own business and assets. In such circumstances, we will, where possible, require such third parties to maintain the confidentiality of any information so disclosed.

Our website contains links to the websites and services of our affiliate partners and other third parties. We are not responsible for and have no control over the privacy and data collection policies and practices implemented by such affiliate partners or third parties, some of which may be substantially different from our corresponding policies and practices. SMLC has no obligation and is not liable for the treatment or maintenance of any information, content, data or materials transmitted, distributed or otherwise provided by you via any such affiliate partner or third party website or service. It is your sole responsibility to review their respective policies and practices and determine whether the same are adequate.

We may use cookies and related technologies to enhance your online experience on our website. Cookies tell us nothing about who you are unless you specifically give us Personal Information. You may elect not to allow cookies to be collected by selecting certain options on your browser although this may affect your access to certain portions of our website.

We have the right to revise this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time by posting an updated version on our website, without advance notice to you. The revisions shall be effective immediately upon posting. We encourage you to check this Privacy Policy often so that you are aware of the most current terms and conditions that apply to you. We may also, at our discretion, email you about these changes. Your continued use of our website and/or services indicates your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and of the collection, use, disclosure, maintenance, management and storage of your Personal Information, as described. This Privacy Policy remains applicable to your Personal Information for as long as your Personal Information is in our possession, even if you terminate or discontinue your use of our website or services.

If you have any questions concerning our Privacy Policy, what information about you we collect and use, or if you do not understand any of the terms or disclosures noted above, you may contact us at: info@advmfg.org or SMLC Privacy Policy at 14141 46th Street North, Unit # 1203, Clearwater, FL 33762 USA.
