We use this information to improve our Website, for example by enhancing pages or features that are visited frequently, and on occasion we may share this information with our affiliates or other third party companies to provide them with an indication of the amount of interest in our Website for advertising purposes and to help us plan for technical improvements.
Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technology, as explained further under the heading “Cookies and similar tracking technology” below.
Information that we obtain from third party sources
From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from other sources, including third parties, business partners, our affiliates, or publicly available sources. The types of information we collect from third parties may include marketing information provided by trade shows and professional and other relevant information available to us on social networks about employment candidates. We use the information we receive from these third parties to allow us to make more informed decisions, improve the accuracy of records we hold, and occasionally to reach out to you regarding items or issues we believe interest you
In addition to the purposes and uses described above, we use personal information in the following ways:
We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:
It is important to note that our Website contains links to other websites and that those other websites will not follow the same privacy notice. This includes links from advertisers, content providers and trade partners who may use our logo and/or style as part of a co-branding agreement. These other websites may collect data from you that we would not and may use that data in ways that we would not.
Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting and using your personal information, in many situations we have more than one purpose. For example, if you contact our technical support team we may collect your information to respond to your inquiries, but we also collect your information as we have a legitimate interest in maintaining your information after your initial inquiry is complete so that we can quickly and easily respond to any questions that may occur in the future regarding our products. As a result, our collection and processing of your information is based in different contexts upon your consent, our need to perform a contract, our obligations under law, and/or our legitimate interest in conducting our business.
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “How to contact us” heading below.
We use cookies and similar tracking technology (collectively, “Cookies”) to collect and use personal information about you, including to capture website analytics, to make our Website operate efficiently, and to serve interest-based advertising. For further information about the types of Cookies we use, why, and how you can control Cookies, please see our Cookie Notice at https://www.prosoft-technology.com/ProSoft-Technology-Legal-Terms-and-Conditions#cookieconsentpolicy.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is fully secure. While we use reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of a breach to your personal information we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.
Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country.
Specifically, certain Website assets and our corporate headquarters are located in the United States, and our group companies and third party service providers and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries. By submitting your personal information to us you agree to the transfer, storage and processing of your personal information in a country other than your country of residence including, but not necessarily limited to, the United States.
However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice. We have implemented an appropriate data transfer agreement utilizing standard contractual clauses and are in the process of initiating Binding Corporate Rules program. For further information about the Privacy Shield program, please see the heading “Privacy Shield Provisions” below.
Typically, we retain personal information we collect from you for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements), unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. More detailed information on ProSoft’s data retention programs may be provided upon receipt of an appropriate request.
In some instances, our use of your personal information may result in automated decisions being taken that legally affect you or similarly significantly affect you.
Automated decisions mean that a decision concerning you is made automatically on the basis of a computer determination (using software algorithms), without human review. For example, we may use automated decisions to screen résumés. If such automated decision making procedures are implemented, we will take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and interests of individuals whose personal information is subject to automated decision-making.
When we make an automated decision about you, you have the right to contest the decision, to express your point of view, and to require a human review of the decision. You can exercise this right by contacting us using the contact details provided under the “How to contact us” heading below.
We do not knowingly collect information from or about children age 13 and under.
Depending on your country or state of residence, you may have certain of the following data protection rights:
We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with our Data Subject Access Rights Policy and applicable data protection laws.
Our Data Subject Access Rights Policy and more detailed information on how to submit a request may be found at http://www.belden.com/about/privacy
California Civil Code Sections 1798.115(c), 1798.130(a)(5)(c), 1798.130(c), and 1798.140 indicate that organizations should disclose whether certain categories of personal information are collected, “sold” or transferred for an organization’s “business purpose”(as those terms are defined under California law). You can find a list of the categories of information that we collect and share here. Please note that because this list is comprehensive it may refer to types of information that we collect and share about people other than yourself. If you would like more information concerning the categories of personal information (if any) we share with third parties or subsidiaries for those parties to use for direct marketing, you can submit a request using the contact details provided under the “How to contact us” heading below. We do not discriminate against California residents who exercise any of their rights described in this Privacy Notice.
ProSoft reserves the right to change our Privacy Notice at any time, except as may be prohibited by law. We will post revisions online and note the effective date of the latest version at the bottom of the Privacy Notice. To the extent that our policy changes in a material way, the Privacy Notice that was in place at the time that you submitted personal information to us will generally govern that information unless we receive your consent to the new Privacy Notice.
For several years, ProSoft participated in both the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Programs. In 2020, the Privacy Shield Program was invalidated by European Data Protection Authorities as a mechanism through which the transfer of data to the United States is permitted. As a result, ProSoft elected not to renew its certifications on April 1, 2021. We are actively monitoring developments in this area as U.S. and European regulators attempt to devise a satisfactory replacement framework and ProSoft will look forward to a new cooperative data sharing framework in the future. Even though ProSoft Inc. and its subsidiaries are no longer a part of the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield programs, we remain committed to the principles enshrined in each program. We have always taken, and we will continue to take, the privacy of our associates, partners and other stakeholders very seriously and will continue to take appropriate steps to protect your personal information.
As disclosed above, ProSoft may share Personal Data with third parties that provide certain services to Belden, including but not limited to, outside accountants and lawyers, consultants and service providers. Prior to transferring Personal Data, Belden will ensure that the protection and transfer of such Personal Data complies with the Privacy Shield Principles or, in the case of Switzerland-Based Parties human resources data, the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield.
ProSoft may transfer Personal Data to a third party acting as an agent for ProSoft by having the third party enter into an agreement with ProSoft or Belden in which the third party promises to provide the same level of protection as required by the Privacy Shield Principles or, in the case of Switzerland-Based Parties human resources data, the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield. If the third party agent does not comply with its privacy obligations, ProSoft will take commercially reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure of Personal Data. Belden acknowledges that it remains potentially liable under the Privacy Shield Principles for the actions of its agents.
ProSoft may also transfer Personal Data to a third party without your consent in response to requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, including, for example, if we are required to do so by law, regulation, subpoena, court order or any other government, judicial or regulatory process.
The U.S. subsidiaries of Belden Inc. that comply with Privacy Shield include the following: Coast Wire and Plastic Tech LLC; Garrettcom, Inc.; Grass Valley USA LLC; Opterna International Corp., ProSoft Technology, Inc.; PPC Broadband, Inc.; Snell Advanced Media; Thinklogical, LLC; Tripwire, Inc.; and Tripwire International, Inc.

This Cookie Statement explains how ProSoft Technology Inc., and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively “ProSoft Technology”, "we", "us", and "ours") use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our websites at www.prosoft-technology.com, and other ProSoft Technology owned websites ("Websites"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. For additional information regarding our privacy practices, please visit prosoft-technology.com/privacy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first party cookies (cookies set by ProSoft) and third party cookies (cookies set by someone other than ProSoft) for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Websites. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for functionality, analytics, advertising, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
Types of cookies we use, and how you can control them.
The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described in the paragraphs that follow.
Essential website cookies. Essential website cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Websites and to use their features, such as to access secure areas. As a result of the essential nature of essential website cookies, they cannot be refused. You can, however, block or delete them by changing your browser settings as described below under the sub-heading, “Controlling Cookies.”
Performance and functionality cookies. Performance and functionality cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Websites but are non-essential to their use. Without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.
Analytics and customisation cookies. Analytics and customization cookies collect information that is used in an aggregate, anonymous form to help us understand how our Websites are being used, or to help us customize our Website to fit your preferences. This information is used for statistical purposes only and it is not our intention to use such information to personally identify any user. However, if you have registered and signed into this Website we may combine this information with information from our web analytic services and cookies to analyse how you use this Website in more detail.
Advertising cookies. Advertising cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
Social networking cookies. Social networking cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Websites through third party social networking websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.
Controlling Cookies?
You have the right to control and manage cookies in various ways. Please bear in mind that blocking or refusing cookies can impact your user experience, and parts of our Websites may no longer be fully accessible.
Most web browsers will allow you to see what cookies you have and delete them on an individual basis or block cookies from specific or all websites. For more information on how to modify your browsers settings to block or filer cookies, please see www.aboutcookies.org or www.cookiecentral.com/faq. In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
Our Websites also use Google Analytics, a popular web analytics service offered by Google. You can opt-out of having your anonymized browsing activity within websites recorded by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Websites, or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Our Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Adobe site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.
How often will you update this Cookie Statement?
We may update this Cookie Statement from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Statement regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Statement indicates when it was last updated.
Where can I get further information?

ProSoft Technology S.A.S., ProSoft Technology (Asia Pacific) S.B., and ProLinx Comunicacao Industrial LTDA are wholly-owned subsidiaries of ProSoft Technology Inc., all are herein referred to as “ProSoft”. Purchases made from authorized distributors or other independent resellers will be subject to terms and conditions of sale as may be separately established by each such distributor or reseller, which will in no event be binding upon ProSoft unless otherwise expressly agreed to. However, ProSoft extends its standard Manufacturer’s Warranty and Software License to Buyers purchasing ProSoft products and related services from their local authorized ProSoft Technology distributor or reseller. Such Manufacturer’s Warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, which are expressly disclaimed. Sales and services outside of the United States of America may be subject to separate or supplemental terms and conditions of sale. For further information, please consult your nearest ProSoft Technology sales office.
General
These terms and conditions of sale (along with any associated written specification, quotation and/or supplemental terms and conditions provided by ProSoft) will exclusively govern the sale or licensing by ProSoft of all goods and services (including without limitation, hardware, firmware and software products, training, programming, maintenance, engineering, site services, parts, repair and remanufacturing services – hereinafter, "Products") furnished to Buyer hereunder, whether such sale or licensing is affected by paper-based transactions or via facsimile or other forms of electronic data interchange (“EDI”) or electronic commerce, and represents the entire Contract between Buyer and ProSoft with respect thereto. ProSoft reserves the right to affect minor modifications and/or improvements to the Product before delivery provided that the performance of the Product is not adversely affected and that neither the Contract Price nor the delivery date is affected. ProSoft objects to and rejects other terms and conditions that may be proposed by Buyer or that appear on or are referenced in Buyer's purchase order or requisition and shall not be incorporated into this Contract. Buyer’s assent to the terms and conditions of sale set forth herein shall be conclusively presumed from Buyer’s failure to object thereto in writing as well as from Buyer’s acceptance of all or part of the Products. This Contract gives the Buyer specific legal rights. The Buyer may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. If any provision of the Contract is invalid under any statute or rule of law, such provision, to that extent only, shall be deemed to be omitted without affecting the validity of the remainder of the Contract.
Payment Terms
Prices are firm for delivery within the period stated in ProSoft's quotation and unless otherwise stated in the Contract, are exclusive of Value Added Tax, any similar and other taxes, duties, levies or other like charges arising in connection with the performance of the Contract. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, payment shall be made in the currency of ProSoft’s quotation within thirty (30) days from date of invoice with ongoing approved credit as determined by ProSoft. ProSoft reserves the right to render invoices electronically and to receive payment by way of electronic funds transfer. Payment by credit card, when permitted, is subject to credit card validation and authorization both at time of Contract and immediately prior to shipment. ProSoft reserves the right to suspend any further performance hereunder or otherwise in the event payment is not made when due. Interest charges may be added to overdue invoices at the rate applicable by law. Without prejudice to ProSoft's other rights, ProSoft reserves the right to suspend performance of the Contract (including withholding shipment) in the event that Buyer fails or in ProSoft’s reasonable opinion it appears that Buyer is likely to fail to make payment when due under the Contract or any other Contract; and under the same conditions require reasonable security for payment.
Delivery Terms
Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, if shipped internationally the Products will be shipped CIP ProSoft’s U.S. location, Incoterms® 2010, final destination named by the Buyer. "CIP", "FCA", “CPT” are the preferred Incoterms that may be used when placing an order and shall be defined in accordance with Incoterms® 2010. Freight, packing and handling will be charged at ProSoft’s standard rates. Risk of loss shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to the first carrier even though ProSoft has booked and paid for the main carriage and insurance. Title transfers upon delivery to the first carrier, except all title to all intellectual property rights associated with the Products remains with ProSoft or its suppliers and licensors. Acknowledged shipping dates are approximate only and based on prompt receipt of all necessary information from Buyer. If the carrier delivers all material shown on the freight bill, but Buyer subsequently discovers shorted material, any claim must be filed directly with ProSoft within ten (10) days after delivery. Claims filed later than ten (10) days after delivery will not be honored. When such shortage is verified by ProSoft, credit will be issued to Buyer’s account within ninety (90) days of such verification. If Buyer requires special production service for unusual shipments, an additional charge (expedite fee) shall be imposed by ProSoft as deemed necessary to cover any costs of such service. Where applicable, prepaid shipping will be billed as a separate invoice item. If delivery is delayed due to any act or omission of Buyer, ProSoft shall be entitled to place the Product into a suitable storage at Buyer's expense. Upon placing the Products into the storage, delivery shall be deemed to be complete and Buyer shall pay ProSoft accordingly. If a delivery is not expected to be made on-time, ProSoft will notify Buyer and will take all reasonable steps at ProSoft’s own cost to expedite delivery; provided, however, when not prohibited at the time the order is placed, Buyer reserves the right, without liability, in addition to its other rights and remedies, to cancel the order if necessary by written notice to ProSoft and arrange for completion and/or purchase of substitute items elsewhere. Any products returned for repair, whether in or out of warranty, must be shipped in accordance with the terms of ProSoft’s Return Material Authorization Policy.

Force Majeure
The Contract (other than Buyer's obligation to pay all sums due to ProSoft in accordance with the Contract) shall be suspended, without liability, in the event and to the extent that its performance is prevented or delayed due to any circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the party affected, including but not limited to: Act of God, war, armed conflict or terrorist attack, riot, fire, explosion, accident, flood, sabotage; governmental decisions or actions (including but not limited to prohibition of exports, re-exports or the failure to grant or the revocation of applicable export licenses), or labor trouble, strike, lockout or injunction. For purposes of this paragraph, a “cause beyond its reasonable control” will not include international currency fluctuations or revaluations. ProSoft shall have no obligation to supply hardware, software or technology or to provide services in the absence of government permits or fulfillment of statutory conditions of exemption from such permits within the framework of import and export control (in particular, according to the regulations applicable in the United States, the European Union and the jurisdiction in which ProSoft has its registered office or from which components of the Products are supplied) and the underlying circumstances could not be foreseen by ProSoft and are outside of ProSoft’s sphere of influence. In the event of revocation of issued government permits or in the event of a change in the applicable statutory import and export control regulations such that ProSoft is prevented from fulfilling the Contract, ProSoft is discharged from the contractual obligation without any liability of ProSoft. If the delay is caused by the delay of a subcontractor of ProSoft and if the delay arises out of causes beyond the reasonable control of both ProSoft and the subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of either of them, ProSoft will not be liable to the Buyer for damages unless the articles or services to be furnished by the subcontractor were obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to permit ProSoft to meet the required delivery schedule. If either party is delayed or prevented from performance of its obligations by reason of this Clause for more than 180 consecutive calendar days, either party may terminate the then unperformed portion of the Contract by notice in writing given to the other party, without liability provided that Buyer shall be obliged to pay the reasonable cost and expense of any work in progress and to pay for all Products delivered and Services performed as accrued at the date of termination.
Compliance with Laws
Products and associated materials supplied or licensed hereunder may be subject to various export laws and regulations. Both ProSoft and Buyer shall strictly comply with, and adhere to, all applicable U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations pertaining to environment, data protection, health and safety, economic sanction laws, trade, import and export control. Specifically, both Parties covenant that it shall not - directly or indirectly - sell, provide, export, re-export, transfer, divert, loan, lease, consign, or otherwise release or dispose of any equipment, product, commodities, services, software, source code, or technology received under this Contract to or via any individual, entity, or destination, or for any use prohibited by the laws or regulations of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction without having obtained prior authorization from the competent governmental authorities as required by all such laws and regulations. In the event that any required export authorization is denied, ProSoft will be relieved of any further obligation relative to the sale and/or license and delivery of the Product(s) subject to such denial without liability of any kind relative to Buyer or any other party.
In addition, these regulations prohibit any person, whether U.S. on non-U.S., from exporting or selling, directly or indirectly to or for any proliferation related end use (nuclear weapons, missile technology or chemical/biological weapons applications). ProSoft will not comply with boycott related requests except to the extent permitted by U.S. or international laws and then only at ProSoft's discretion.
