Tekelec has long recognized that individuals with whom we conduct business value their privacy. However, in order to conduct global business in this increasingly electronic economy, the collection of personal information is often necessary and desirable. It is Tekelec’s goal to balance the benefits of e-commerce with the right of individuals to maintain the confidentiality and prevent the misuse of their personal information.

The collection of personal information
In some circumstances, Tekelec may request personal information from you, like your name, e-mail address, company name, or telephone number. Your response to these inquiries is strictly voluntary. Tekelec uses this information to customize your experience on our Web site. In addition, Tekelec may use this information for other business purposes, such as alerting you to products and services that can assist you in your business, promoting site registration, and assisting in order processing.

In general, you can visit our site without divulging any personal information. However, there are areas of our site that require this information to complete its customization functions, and may not be available to those choosing not to reveal the information requested.

Collecting domain information
Tekelec also collects domain information as part of its analysis of the use of this site. This data enables us to become more familiar with which customers visit our site, how often they visit, and what parts of the site they visit most often. Tekelec uses this information to improve its Web-based offerings. This information is collected automatically and requires no action on your part.

Disclosure to third parties
In cases where we believe your business interests will be served, Tekelec may share your information (with the exception of account, credit card, and ordering information) with Tekelec change partners, who can alert you about new products and services to improve your competitive edge. If you receive unwanted marketing or wish to cease receiving materials from any of our Tekelec change partners, please let them know that you wish to be removed from their contact list.
