Security
While there are always risks associated with providing
personal data, whether in person, by phone, via the
internet or otherwise, and no technology is completely
safe or "tamper" or "hacker" proof, Nokia takes
appropriate technical and organizational information
security measures to prevent and minimize such risks.
Such measures include, where appropriate, the use of
firewalls, secure server facilities, encryption,
implementing proper access rights management
systems and processes, careful selection of processors
and other technically and commercially reasonable
measures to provide appropriate protection for your
personal data against unauthorized use or disclosure.
Where appropriate, we may also take back-up copies
and use other such means to prevent accidential
damage or destruction to your personal data. If a
particular part of a Nokia website supports on-line
transactions, we will use an industry standard security
measure, such as the one available through "Secure
Sockets Layer" ("SSL"), to protect the confidentiality
and security of online transactions.
Use of Cookies and Web Beacons
From time to time when you visit a Nokia website,
information may be placed on your computer to allow
us to recognize your computer. This information is
commonly in the form of a textfile known as a "cookie".
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your
72
computer's hard drive, rather than on the website.
Typically, they enable collection of certain information
about your computer, including your internet protocol
(IP) address, your computer's operating system, your
browser type and the address of any referring sites. Our
use of cookies is intended to provide benefits to you,
such as eliminating the need for you to enter your
password frequently during a session or the need to
re-enter items you place in a shopping cart if you do
not finish a transaction in a single visit. Cookies are also
used for website traffic analysis and anonymous
demographic profiling so that we may improve our
services.
Nokia may use so called web beacons (or "pixel tags")
in connection with some websites. However, we do not
use them to identify individual users personally. Web
beacons are typically graphic images that are placed
on a website and they are used to count visitors to a
website and/or to access certain cookies. This
information is used to improve our services. Web
beacons do not typically collect any other information
than what your browser provides us with as a standard
part of any internet communication. If you turn off
cookies, the web beacon will no longer be able to track
your specific activity. The web beacon may, however,
continue to collect information of visits from your IP-
address, but such information will no longer be unique.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, or want to be
notified before they are placed, you may set your web
browser to do so, if your browser so permits. Please
