Introduction
We at ADI 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.
ADI 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 or business, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a company name, a home or other physical address, a phone or fax number, and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit ADI’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 or otherwise, we may transfer that Information within ADI or to ADI's third-party service providers, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. This information sharing is solely used to assist us in the transmission of sales and product information to you, our customer.
ADI 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, ADI 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.

ADI will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on ADI's behalf.
