Companies who work on our behalf
Occasionally, we work with third parties to provide a better user experience, such as for fulfilling online orders, emailing updates, or collecting voluntarily-provided feedback. These third-party sites will either follow our privacy policy, in compliance with USA and EU legal requirements and data protection best practices or prominently display their own. They are prohibited from transferring the information to another party except as needed to provide those services. Other than these exceptions, and for authorized government law enforcement activities, we do not provide personal information to outside organizations without first obtaining your consent.
Business Transfers: Adesso reserves the right to transfer your personal information in connection with the sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If the business is sold or transferred, Adesso will give you an opportunity to tell us not to transfer your personal information. In some cases, this may mean that the new organization will not be able to continue providing you with the services or products that Adesso provided.
Law Enforcement: Adesso may disclose personal information to third parties without your consent for any of the following reasons: to comply with any law, regulation, or court order; to cooperate with government investigations; to help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the rights of Adesso.
What emails will be received?
Adesso may send you an e-mail about your orders or your account in response to your questions. Adesso and its subsidiaries may also send you e-mails with information and/or special offers about products and services that may be of interest to you, provided you agreed to receive such e-mails in accordance with applicable law.
We will give you an opportunity to let us know your preference regarding the receipt of the promotional e-mail. This option applies to promotional e-mail only, as we may find it necessary to send you an e-mail relating to your account, order, product, or pricing changes.

If you are under 18, you may use our website only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian.
Cookies
To help provide website visitors with the best experience possible, we use commercial software to report and analyze aggregated web metrics data. The data is generally retained indefinitely to help improve website performance.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) when you visit our site. It enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember your actions and preferences. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember your login, language, font size, or process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
How do we use cookies?
We use cookies to:
- Identify you.
- Help remember and process the items in the shopping cart.

What cookies do we use?
Our sites use three types of tools: session cookies, persistent cookies, and other customization tools.
Session cookies do not contain personal information and disappear once the browser window is closed. We use session cookies for technical purposes such as enabling you to navigate the websites. Session cookies only collect non-personally identifiable data.
Persistent cookies store information on your computers for longer periods of time and across multiple visits. We do not use persistent cookies to collect personally identifiable information about visitors. However, we do use persistent cookies to improve web metrics by distinguishing between new and returning visitors, to anonymously aggregate data on how visitors use our websites, and to remember your voluntarily-provided preferences to create a smoother browsing experience.
Customization tools allow you to voluntarily provide information to personalize and improve your online experience. Information from customization tools is saved on our servers.
