In addition, ADI reserves the right to collect and share personal information as part of (i) an investigation or response to a violation of ADI terms and conditions of use, fraud, illegal activities or other actions or threats that may damage ADI, the Site, or other property, or injure or threaten ADI's customers or other persons, (ii) compliance with a court order, subpoena, government investigation or other legal process, or (iii) transfer or sale of a business unit.

Links on the Site to third party websites are provided solely as a convenience to you. If you use these links, you will leave the Site. ADI has not reviewed such third party sites and does not control and is not responsible for their content or their privacy and security policies. Accordingly, ADI does not endorse or make any representations about these third party sites, or about any information, software or other products or materials found there, or about any results that may be obtained from using them.

Security Statement: How ADI Protects Your Personal Information
ADI provides three levels of protection. First, access to the servers that store your information is limited to those ADI employees and third parties with a need to know the information. Second, ADI servers use commercially-available security measures to prevent unauthorized access. Finally, when you purchase ADI products through our Web site, ADI will take reasonable steps to establish a secure connection to your Web browser. ADI does not use credit card information for any purpose other than to process payment for sales, and does not provide your credit card information to anyone other than the financial services institutions and contractors responsible for the confidential processing of your payment.
While ADI will continue to exercise diligence and use reasonable measures to protect the security of this Site, ADI cannot warrant that all internet communications will be absolutely secure. If you have any questions about this Security Statement, please contact external.webmaster@analog.com.
ADI is committed to the responsible use of the internet. ADI reserves the right to change or amend this policy from time to time, but will post any such changes as part of its privacy and security statement on this Site.
