AWARENESS
What we collect
User Provided Information: You may provide to Marvell what is generally called "personally identifiable" information when you register or at other times (for example, in connection with correspondence between you and Marvell), such as name and e-mail address.
"Cookies" Information: When you visit the Open-RD Service, we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer. Marvell uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Open-RD Service. By using these cookies, we can "remember" what you have done on the Open-RD Service before and personalize our site for you. These persistent types of cookies can be removed, but each web browser is a little different, so please look through your browser "Help" file to learn the correct way to modify your cookies set-up. Please note that disabling cookies may prevent you from accessing some of the functionality and site offerings available via the Open-RD Service.
"Automatically Collected" Information: When you visit the Open-RD Service or open one of our HTML emails, we may record certain information from your web browser by using different types of technology. This "automatically collected" information may include your Internet Protocol address ("IP Address"), web browser type, the web pages or sites that you visit just before or just after the Open-RD Service, the pages you view on our site, and the dates and times that you visit.
How we use it
Marvell uses your information to better understand your needs and provide you with better service. We may use your email address, without further consent, for non-marketing or administrative purposes such as notifying you of major updates.
