Introduction
Timewatch plc, Timewatch Inc. and our affiliated
companies worldwide ("Timewatch") are committed to respecting your online
privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of
any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with
us.
Timewatch has established this Online Privacy Policy
so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal
Information.
Personal Information means any information that may be
used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last
name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact
information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit Timewatch's
Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information
about yourself.
If you choose to provide us with your Personal
Information on the Web, we may transfer that Information within Timewatch or to
Timewatch's third-party service providers, across borders, and from your
country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.
Timewatch strives to comply with all applicable laws
around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal
requirements may vary from country to country, Timewatch intends to adhere to
the principles set forth in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection
with the above, we transfer your Personal Information from your country to
countries that may not require an "adequate" level of protection for your
Personal Information. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for
your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is
collected, transferred, or retained.
Cookies and Other Tracking
Technologies
Some of our Web pages utilize "cookies" and other
tracking technologies. A "cookie" is a small text file that may be used, for

and other technologies are used to serve to recall Personal Information
previously indicated by a Web user. Most browsers allow you to control cookies,
including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them.
You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive
a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note
that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter
your original personal information every time you use one of our Forms or your

Tracking technologies may record information such as
Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser
software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times
that our site is accessed. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies
allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze
information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and
statistics.
Notice
Where Timewatch collects Personal Information on the
web, we intend to post a purpose statement that explains why Personal
Information will be collected and whether we plan to share such Personal
Information outside of Timewatch or those working on Timewatch's behalf.
Timewatch does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent
to third parties who are not bound to act on Timewatch's behalf unless such
transfer is legally required.
Choice
You may choose whether or not to provide Personal
Information to Timewatch. The notice we intend to provide where Timewatch
collects Personal Information on the Web should help you to make this choice.
If you choose not to provide the Personal Information
we request, you can still visit most of Timewatch's Web sites, but you may be
unable to access certain options, offers, downloads, pricing, support and
services that involve our interaction with you. If you chose to have a
relationship with Timewatch, such as a contractual or other business
relationship or partnership, we will naturally continue to contact you in
connection with that business relationship.
Security
Wherever your Personal Information may be held within
Timewatch or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps
to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized
access or disclosure.
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data
accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place
appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures reasonably designed
to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We use SSL (Secure
Socket Layer) encryption to secure all personal information used in on-line
purchasing and support.
Access/Accuracy
To the extent that you do provide us with Personal
Information, Timewatch wishes to maintain accurate Personal Information. Where
we collect Personal Information from you on the Web, our goal is to provide a
means of contacting Timewatch should you need to update or correct that
Information. If for any reason those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you
may send updates and corrections about your Personal Information to
and we will make reasonable efforts to incorporate the changes in your Personal
Information that we hold as soon as practicable.

current industry initiatives to preserve individual privacy rights on the
Internet. Protecting your privacy online is an evolving area, and Timewatch's
