We may also supplement the information we collect from you with information obtained from other parties, including our trusted business partners and other third parties. Examples of how we may use this information include using your data to help us to improve your experience using our website, to apply appropriate discounts for which you qualify, to follow up with you after events, and to help prevent and detect fraud. 

How Digilent May Use Your Personal Information  

Digilent may use your Personal Information to:

• Deliver the products, services and support or carry out the transactions you have requested;
• Send communications to you, including information about product safety, your transaction status including notifications about products in your cart and order confirmations, specific Digilent programs in which you have chosen to participate, Digilent products and services, events, promotional offers and market surveys;

In general, we collect and process your Personal Information on one or more of the following bases:

• Your consent, for example where we have obtained your consent to process your personal data for certain activities (such as the use of cookies for online tracking and analysis). You are free to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting [email protected]. If you withdraw your consent, it will not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on your consent before you withdrew it. Where applicable, we may ask for your consent to processing at the point where you provide your Personal Information.
• To comply with a contractual obligation (for example, using your shipment details to make delivery where you have bought a product from us or using your email address where you have asked us to provide you with a quote). We will advise you upon collection whether the provision of your Personal Information is mandatory and of the possible consequences if you do not provide us with your information.
• For compliance with Digilent’s legal obligations where other laws require the processing of your Personal Information (for example, health and safety, taxation and anti-money laundering laws) or where we need your Personal Information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
• Digilent’s (and its business partners’) legitimate interests which include the provision of this website and/or relevant products and services, and/or the carrying out of marketing and personalizing activities, provided always that our legitimate interests are not outweighed by any prejudice or harm to your rights and freedoms.

If you have any questions or need more information concerning the legal basis on which we collect your Personal Information, please contact us at [email protected].

Retention of your Personal Information

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you support or services, and in accordance with Digilent’s retention practices and legal requirements.

How Digilent May Share Personal Information

Digilent only uses the personal information you provide to support and develop your relationship with Digilent, our affiliates, and our strategic business partners.

We may share your Personal Information with these categories of third parties for the following purposes:

How Digilent Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies

Digilent may use automatic data collection technologies including cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity on Digilent websites. This information may be used to improve your experience on our websites, save you time by eliminating the need to enter the same information repeatedly or to deliver targeted content to you.

A cookie is a piece of text that is placed on your computer's hard drive. Depending on the settings you have selected, your browser adds the text to your device as a small file. Many browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies as you prefer. The Help portion of your web browser, most likely found on the toolbar, typically tells you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

To learn more about cookies, how we use them on our websites, and how you can view or delete them, refer to the Digilent Cookie Policy at digilent.com/shop/legal-privacy. If you choose to decline cookies, you may still use our websites, but your ability to use some areas of our websites may be limited.

We also use scripts, pixels and similar technology, that help us manage content on our site. For example, we may use scripts to personalize your experience to show you products that support your industry. We may also use these technologies to identify the most popular locations on our site, to help us make more of our pages valuable to our customers and to troubleshoot any issues our customers raise about our site’s operation.

Targeted Display Advertising

We may use third-party advertising companies to use cookies, and Internet browsing to help us display personalized content and appropriate advertising during your visits to our websites and other websites. For example, if you view a product on a Digilent website, you may see offers for similar products on other websites you visit. Cookies placed by these advertising companies also assist us with measuring the performance of our advertising campaigns and with identifying the pages you view, the links and ads you click on, other actions you take on those web pages, and the site from which you came before arriving at a web page. These cookies can be effective whether you are on Digilent.com or another website. If you opt out of receiving targeted display advertising, the data associated with these cookies will not be used.

If you do not wish to have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out of publishers’ content by visiting preferences-mgr.truste.com (or if located in the European Union click youronlinechoices.eu). Please note this does not opt you out of being served all advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.

“Do Not Track” Signals

Please note that while you may have the opportunity to opt-out of targeted advertising through the link above and you may be able to control the use of cookies through your web browser as described in the “How Digilent Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies” section above, some web browsers may also give you the ability to enable a “do not track” setting. This setting sends a special signal to the websites you encounter while web browsing. This “do not track” signal is different from disabling certain forms of tracking by declining cookies in your browser settings, as browsers with the “do not track” setting enabled still have the ability to accept cookies. Digilent does not respond to web browser “do not track” signals at this time. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Statement. For more information about “do not track,” visit allaboutdnt.org. 

How Digilent Secures Your Personal Information

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We follow generally accepted standards to protect your Personal Information from misuse, interference and loss, as well as from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. The ways we do this include:

• using encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive information, such as credit card details;
• limiting physical access to our premises;
• limiting access to the information we collect about you;
• ensuring that we and our business partners have appropriate security safeguards to keep Personal Information secure; and
• where required by law, destroying or de-identifying Personal Information.

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We encourage you to keep any passwords you use confidential and to be careful to avoid “phishing” scams where someone may send you an email that appears to be from Digilent asking for your personal information.  Digilent will not request your ID or password through email.

When you see either a solid key icon or a locked padlock icon next to the URL in your browser window, your connection with our site including transfer of sensitive payment information you may enter, is secured through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). If you do not see one of these icons, please contact Digilent by phone to complete your transaction.

Social Media Features

Our Web site includes Social Media Features, such as the Facebook and LinkedIn buttons. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social Media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing it.

Digilent Discussion Forums and similar features

Any information (including personal information) that you choose to disclose in public areas of our website, such as Digilent Discussion Forums, message boards, blog, or other public forums such as trade shows or conventions, becomes public information that others may collect, circulate, and use. Any text you include in a message is public. Because Digilent cannot and does not control the acts of others, please exercise caution when deciding whether to disclose information about yourself or others in public forums such as these. To request removal of a posting you have made or removal of your Personal Information from our blog or Digilent Discussion Forum, contact [email protected]. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your Personal Information, in which case we will let you know the reason we are unable to do so.

Links to third-party websites

Third parties control the content of all third-party websites that are linked to our website, and are provided as a benefit to you. If you submit personal information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy statements. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy statement of any Web site you visit. Digilent uses certain application service providers (ASPs) to provide specific services to enhance your online experience. ASPs do not sell or distribute your personal information.

Accessing and Updating Your Information

Digilent wants to help you keep your Personal Information accurate. To access, correct, change, update or delete your Personal Information on www.digilent.com, visit and log into your account or contact [email protected]. We promptly record any request for changes to your communication preferences in our internal customer databases; please allow 10 business days for these changes to take effect.

In addition to the above, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that our processing of your Personal Information infringes applicable data protection law.

If you have any questions about the type of Personal Information we hold about you or if you wish to request deletion or correction of Personal Information we hold about you, or to submit a Data Subject Access Request to exercise any other data subject right, please use our Data Request Form or send a written request to [email protected] or to the postal address provided at the bottom of this Privacy Statement. While we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request, we reserve the right to reject such access requests or to impose restrictions or requirements upon such requests if required or permitted by applicable law.
