GDPR Ready

Last updated: March 1, 2024

WE HAVE CREATED THIS PRIVACY POLICY BECAUSE WE HIGHLY VALUE YOUR PERSONAL DATA.
THIS PRIVACY POLICY INCLUDES IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN RESPECT TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA.

Privacy statement

Kramer Electronics Ltd. and its affiliated corporations (“Kramer” or “We”) develop, manufacture, and market video, audio, and control products, solutions, and services (the “Products”). Kramer also creates and operates various websites (the “Website/s”).

This Privacy Policy sets forth Kramer’s policy with respect to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. (“Personal Data”).
