Personal Data You Provide through Websites or Online Communication Services
In general, you do not need to provide personalized information to access our websites. However, you might provide personal data to benefit from online communication services. Your personal data (e.g. your name, address, telephone number, email address, etc.) is stored only if you provide us with this information in order to use one of the services on our website (e.g. registering warranties/service, registering for a personalized web experience, signing up for the newsletter (e-mail only) or taking part in competitions). This data is then processed and used to perform the requested services.

Your consent is also required to transmit your personal data to third parties outside the legally permitted circumstances.

You then need to use these details to access our website. Your registration is not activated until you have logged in with your username and password.

Security
TVS REGZA Corporation have implemented technical and organizational security measures to guarantee the security of your personal information. Users’ personal information is stored in our secure networks and access is restricted to those employees and partners who are entitled to access our systems.
In areas where you enter data, we work with the “Secure Socket Layer” (SSL) standard encryption system. Please note that your browser must support encryption protection. You can find this SSL encryption, for example, in Internet Explorer version 3.0 or a higher version and most other browsers. Data is stored in databases which are protected against unauthorized access by security firewalls and software. Whenever your browser displays a closed padlock symbol at the bottom of the screen, or a similar icon/highlighted web address in a different browser, this indicates that your data is being transmitted in an encrypted format.
If the SSL certificate is not available for technical reasons, an error page is displayed to ensure that under no circumstances your data is transmitted without encryption.
