How We Collect Your Personal Information

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a "Do Not Track" signal to websites and online services you visit.

Third-Party Sites

FUTEK's Website and communications through the Website may contain links and pointers to other third-party websites, including, without limitation, business and advertising partners. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these third-party websites, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, or content of any such third-party websites, even if you link to them through FUTEK's Website.

Website Security

We maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to help us protect your nonpublic Personal Information against loss, misuse, disclosure and alteration. For example, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt your credit card information when you purchase products through our Website.

When you establish an account at FUTEK, you choose a password to help protect your account information. A password is only as strong as you make it: you should select a unique password and keep it safe. You may change your password as often as you wish.

While we endeavor to use reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your information, the Internet is not totally secure. Due to the possibility of transmission errors, hacking or other unauthorized third-party activities, we cannot guarantee that data related to the services will remain secure. If we become aware of a security breach involving such data, FUTEK will make all legally required disclosures, consistent with our ability to determine the scope of the breach, our need to restore the integrity of the system and the needs of law enforcement.
