Privacy Policy

Shure Incorporated has created this Privacy Policy to disclose the information gathering and dissemination practices of Shure Incorporated and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Shure", "we", "us" or "our") for all Shure websites (the "Shure Sites").
 
Shure does not require users of the Shure Sites ("user", "you" or "your") to provide us with any personally identifiable information when you visit and use many of the features of the Shure Sites. However, in order to use certain features of the Shure Sites (for example, product registration), it will be necessary for you to provide us with personally identifiable information. If you choose not to supply personally identifiable information, you may not be able to use these features.

IP Address
When you visit the Shure Sites, our Web servers automatically recognize, collect, and sotre information about your IP address and domain name.  We use this information to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer the Shure Sites, and to gather broad, non-personally identifiable demographic informaiton.


Cookies
We use cookies to keep track of your shopping cart activity.  We may also use third-party ad tracking services that may place cookies on your computer (See “Third-party Advertising Technology” below).” If you prefer to leave your cookies turned off, you will not be remembered by our shopping cart, you may need to re-identify yourself each time you shop, and you may be unable to use other features or functionality on the Shure Sites. We reserve the right to use cookies for other purposes as well.

 
User Contact Information
We use registration forms, contests, and online surveys that require users to provide us their contact information, such as name, address, email, etc. We may use this information to provide additional information about Shure that we feel will interest our users. You are offered the option to opt-out of receiving these messages if you so desire. The ability to opt-out is provided at the points where we request contact information, and, in all subsequent online communications to you from Shure. We also provide visitors with the option of removing their personal information from our database should they no longer wish to receive future communications from Shure. To do this, simply send an email to webmaster@shure.com with enough detail so that we can identify your record and delete it.  You may also visit www.shure.com/optout. At this time, we do not share your personal information with businesses outside of Shure.


Third-Party Advertising Technology
We use DoubleClick DART, a third-party advertising technology, on some sections and/or pages of the Shure Sites to collect information when you visit the Shure Sites and serve ads on sites upon which we advertise. This technology uses information about your visits to the Shure Sites and the sites upon which we advertise (not including your name, address, or other personal information).

In the course of browsing the Shure Sites, a unique, persistent third-party cookie may be placed on your computer or recognized on your browser.

In addition, we use electronic images known as Web bugs (sometimes called transparent GIFs, clear GIFs, or beacons), provided by our ad serving partner, that allow us to track general user traffic patterns. The information we collect and share through the use of tracking technologies cannot be matched with any personally identifiable information. In this specific example, we are still talking about tracking in association with traffic sent to Shure through advertising programs.

Public Forums
The Shure Sites do not engage in public forums, such as chat rooms, message boards, or newsgroups at this time. We do operate a FAQ/Knowledge Base function that accepts questions from users. These inquiries and Shure's answers become part of the Shure Sites Knowledge Base and will be publicly accessible. No user personal data is published as part of this process.


Shure may, from time to time, solicit and accept user input of anecdotal stories or personal experiences with Shure products for the express purpose of public posting on the Shure Sites. If you provide us with this information you grant us the right to copy, adapt, display, perform and distribute your information as we see fit. If you participate, you agree that any information that you submit can be made publicly available. We advise that you exercise caution when deciding to disclose this information to us for these purposes.
