IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

INOVA GEOPHYSICAL and its affiliated companies (collectively, INOVA or Company) provide this Web site and other related or linked INOVA sites (Site) and certain services, interfaces and functionality on or via this Site (the Services) to you subject to your agreement to comply with the following terms of use (the General Terms). Your use of this Site or the Services will constitute your acceptance of the General Terms. Once accepted, the General Terms will constitute a binding agreement between INOVA and you governing your use of the Site or Services (the Agreement). If you are not willing to abide by the General Terms, do not use this Site or the Services.

INOVA appreciates your interest in this site. Your privacy is important and we want you to understand our practices with respect to gathering information from visitors to the Site and with respect to the uses we make of that information. Please check each portion or page of the Site that you visit. Certain portions or pages of the Site may contain changes to the Privacy Policy applicable to your use of that portion or page, for example, certain applications may request additional information from you.

1. Information and Uses

Privacy concerns focus on Personal Information that could identify a specific individual such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers. If during your visit you submit information to us, you may provide us with Personal Information. We may collect and use that Personal Information to provide you with products or services you request, to market products and services which we think may be of interest to you, or to communicate with you for other purposes.

As explained below in the section on Dissemination of Information to Third Parties, we do not distribute or sell Personal Information to third parties for the purpose of allowing them to market their products and services to you; moreover, as explained in the Opt Out/Modify Information section, we will make a reasonable effort to remove your Personal Information from our database in such a way that you will not receive future communications from us. If you notify us that Personal Information previously submitted to our site is no longer accurate, we will make a reasonable effort to make appropriate corrections. To facilitate our efforts, it would be helpful if you could let us know the context in which you provided Personal Information, e.g in connection with promotion of a specific product or service.

2. Information From Children

The Site contains information that may be of special interest to children, but INOVA does not seek through the Site to gather Personal Information from or about persons under the age of 17.

3. Hyperlinks

We cannot be responsible for their privacy policies and practices and we make no representations or warranties about the privacy practices of those sites. Similarly, we cannot be responsible for the policies and practices of any site from which you linked to our Web site. We recommend that you check the privacy policy of other sites and contact the operator if you have concerns or questions.

4. Dissemination of Information to Third Parties

Communicating via the Internet and sending information, products, and services to you by other means necessarily involves your Personal Information passing through or being handled by third-parties, but INOVA does not sell or distribute your Personal Information to third parties for purposes of allowing them to market their products and services to you.

We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, deliveries, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service. They have access to Personal Information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Personal data collected by INOVA may be transferred among its various divisions and affiliated companies, around the world which may involve transfer from countries within the European Economic Area to countries outside the E.E.A. By submitting data on the Site, the visitor is providing explicit consent to these transfers, including transborder transmission of data covered by this Privacy Policy.

5. Sensitive Information

INOVA does not seek any sensitive information from visitors to our Site, unless legally required to do so, for example, in connection with recruiting or hiring. Sensitive information includes a number of types of data relating t race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or other similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health, sexual life or criminal record. We suggest that you do not provide sensitive information of this nature. However, if you do provide such information, INOVA accepts your explicit consent to use that data in the ways described in this Privacy Policy or in the ways described at the point where such information is disclosed.

6. Opt Out/Modify Information

You can request the removal or modification of your Personal Information by sending an e-mail to the appropriate area under "Contact Us". We will then make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request. As previously noted, it would be helpful to let us know the context in which you provided Personal Information.
