Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains information we may collect from you through this web site, how we may use or disclose that information, and other related matters.

Information We Collect

We collect anonymous information about the use of our web site, such as the number of visitors, the length and time of their visits, the pages they view, the web browsers they use, and other similar information. Such anonymous data may be used by us and disclosed by us to third parties to improve our web site and to better understand your needs.

We collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from all visitors to our web site. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our web site, analyze usage trends, track users' interactions with the web site, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in order for us to improve our web site. Your IP address is not linked to any personally identifiable information about you.

We collect certain personally identifiable information about you (including, among other things, your name, address and email address) when provided by you to request information or services, register for events, register for product service and support, register for notification of support issues or register for training or education, or other similar purposes.

We do not intentionally collect information about children under the age of thirteen. If you are under thirteen, please do not give us any personal information about yourself. If we discover that a person under the age of 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will use reasonable efforts to delete that information from our database.

How Your Personally Identifiable Information is Used

We use personally identifiable information that you provide to us to respond to your requests for information. We may also use the information you provide us to provide you with information about other matters we believe may be of interest to you. From time to time we may provide you with information about third parties or their products and services.

We do not disclose any personally identifiable information about you to any third parties except under the following circumstances:

• We will provide your information to a third party if you specifically agree that we may provide your information to a third party.
• We may use a third-party service provider to assist with sending information by email, mail or other means. In our contracts with these providers, we have them agree that they will not retain, share, store or use your personally identifiable information for any purpose other than as stated in the contract.
• We may need to disclose your personally identifiable information when required by law or if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to protect our rights or property, to comply with a court order or subpoena, to cooperate with investigations by law enforcement or regulatory authorities or to participate in or cooperate with a judicial proceeding.
• In a merger, acquisition by another company, or a sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information will, in most instances, be transferred to the control of a third party. If a portion of the business is sold or transferred to a third party, we may provide that third party with a copy of your information.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information you provide to us. However, the Internet has an open structure that prevents us from being able to guarantee that your information will remain secure. We do not currently encrypt your personally identifiable information.

Third Party Privacy Policies

Our privacy policy does not apply to any other third party web sites that may be reached through links provided on our web site. You should contact such third party sites directly for information regarding their privacy policies.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right, at any time, to add to, modify or remove portions of this Privacy Policy. Please check back to this page from time to time to determine if any changes have been made. Your continued use of this web site after any changes have been made will constitute acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.
