Newsletter and info
If you order information material, newsletters or brochures, you may be asked by FT-TEC Electronics GmbH for your name and other personal information, or at least your e-mail address. It is your decision as to whether you disclose this data. FT-TEC Electronics GmbH stores your data on specially protected servers in Germany. Access is restricted to authorised persons who are involved with the technical, commercial and editorial support of the servers. If you no longer wish to receive our services, simply click on the link located at the bottom of each newsletter. When registering for our newsletter your e-mail address is used, with your permission, for advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter again. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Alternatively, you can write an e-mail to FT-TEC Electronics GmbH: In connection with your access, data may be stored on the FT-TEC USA Corp.servers for security purposes, which may allow identification (e.g. IP address, date, time and pages viewed). The IP address is not used to identify the user and neither individual nor fictitious user profiles will be created. The statistical analysis of the data remains anonymous.
How do we protect your information?
We use a secure transmission protocol - the 'Secure Socket Layer' - (SSL) transmission, to process customer data. Your personal data such as name and address is encrypted through our secure server software by being transformed into a code. Therefore, this data can not be read by unauthorised persons during transmission via the Internet. Most of the newer browsers already support this secure transmission technology.

Using Social Plugins from Facebook and Google+
So-called social plugins ('plugins') for the social networks Facebook and Google+ are used on our website. These services are offered by the companies Facebook Inc. and Google Inc. ('Provider'). Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ('Facebook'). Google+ is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ('Google'). You can find an overview of the plugins and their appearance here (pages in English): Social Plugins (Facebook) or Plugins (Google+) If you call up a page from our online shop that contains a social plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Google or Facebook. The content of the plugin is transferred directly to your browser by the Provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugin the provider receives the information that yourbrowser has accessed the corresponding page of our online shop, even if you don't have a profile with the corresponding social network or are not logged in. This information (including your IP address) will be transmitted from your browser directly to a server of the Provider in the US and stored there.
If you are logged in to a social network, the Provider can directly assign the visit to our site to your profile on Facebook or Google+. When you interact with the plugins, for example pressing the 'Like' or the '+1' button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the Provider and stored there. The information will also be published on the social network and be shown to your friends. Please see the privacy policies of the Providers for the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of data by the providers as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy.
If you do not want Google or Facebook to assign the data collected via our website directly to your profile in the respective social network, you must log out of the corresponding network before you visit our site.
You can also completely block the loading of the plugin with add-ons for your browser, e.g. the Facebook plug-ins with the Facebook Blocker', which you can find here (page in English).
