2. Use of Personal Information

Novex collects personal information primarily to facilitate order processing and to contact you if there are any problems with your order. Our website may from time to time include optional registrations, promotions, surveys, and questionnaires (Novex-sponsored activities) that require you to provide information. We use the information provided by users to help us design and develop better products and provide suggestions and purchase recommendations.

We also use the information collected to provide you with customized marketing and advertising services.

We also study users' statistical characteristics, interests, and behaviors based on information provided by users when purchasing goods, participating in promotional activities, filling out questionnaires, and accessing server log files. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is collected and analyzed in an aggregated form to prevent the identification of any specific individual's personal information. We may share aggregated data with our partners.

Legal Basis

The legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above depends on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will generally only collect your personal information where we have your consent, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your privacy interests. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect your personal information or need the personal information to protect your or another person’s interests.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will explain at the relevant time why we require you to provide this personal information and whether providing it is mandatory.

Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information based on our legitimate interests, we will explain those interests to you.

Sharing of Personal Information

We share Website usage information about Users, who have received a personalized promotional campaign, with third-party advertising companies for the purpose of personalizing future campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics.

3. Your Choices
You have certain choices regarding your personal information. To learn more about these choices, please click here. Novex may, at its discretion, use one or more companies to serve advertisements for our products and third-party products on our website. We use cookies and other technologies (such as web beacons or tags) to measure advertising effectiveness and to determine what content and advertisements to show you based on your interests on our website and third-party websites you may visit.

If you do not wish to participate in this activity, you can opt out at any time by clicking here.

4. Information Security
When you place an order or provide personal information, we take certain technical and organizational security measures, such as encryption where appropriate. Encryption scrambles the data in your purchase information, including your credit card number, so that this information can only be viewed by Novex and our third-party payment processors. However, no internet data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we have taken appropriate measures to protect your personal information, Novex cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you provide to us or obtain from our website, and therefore your use of our website is at your own risk.

Information Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. However, in some cases, we may retain personal information for a longer period, for example, where we are required to do so by law (such as for warranty purposes), tax and accounting requirements. We may also retain your personal information for a longer period so that we can accurately document your transactions with us in the event of any complaints or disputes. When we no longer have a continuing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize this information. Children's Privacy
The Midland website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly or intentionally collect or solicit information from children under 13 years of age. Users under 13 years of age are not permitted to submit or post any information to our website. If a child under 13 years of age has provided us with personal information, we encourage their parent or guardian to contact us to request that we remove this personal information from our systems. If we discover that any personal information we have collected was provided by a child under 13 years of age, we will immediately delete that information.
