Information Collection and Use

When accessing and using our Services and Sources, we may ask you to provide us with certain information that identifies you or relates to identifiable individuals (“Personal Information”) which may include, without limitation:

  • Your name, address, email addresses, telephone number, title, employment, and other contact information and information about your company, business or employer;
  • Behavioral or demographic information about you and others;
  • Information about your past, present and future software, service, produce and business activities and needs;
  • Past and current transactional behavior;
  • Financial and payment information provided in connection with payments and transactions with us;
  • Information obtained from third parties.

We may also collect other information about your interaction and use of the Services and Sources which may include, without limitation,  Log Data and Cookies.  These are explained below.   We may use, transfer, and disclose other information we collect for any purpose, except where applicable law requires otherwise.  If we are required to treat other information as Personal Information under applicable law, then we will only use it in the same way that we are permitted to use and disclose Personal Information.

Log Data

We may collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit or use our Sources or Services ("Log Data").  This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, behavioral data such as the pages of our Services or Sources that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, searches you may have performed to reach our Sources, and other statistics.

In addition, we may use third party services such as Google Analytics that collect, monitor and analyze this type of information in order to increase the functionality of our Services or Sources. These third party service providers have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.

Cookies, Pixel Tags, and other Tracking Technologies

We and our advertising technology partners use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels tags and device identifiers) to recognize you and/or your device(s) on, off and across different services and devices for the purposes specified above.

Cookies are small text files that contain a string of characters and uniquely identify a browser on a connected device.  We or our business partners and vendors may use cookies to, among other things, track user trends and collect information about how you use our customers’ sites or interact with advertising.  We may use remarketing services to advertise on third party web sites to you after you visited our Services.  We, and our third party vendors, use cookies to inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past visits to our Services.  Most browsers are initially configured to accept cookies by default.  You may, however, be able to change your browser settings to cause your browser to refuse third-party cookies or to indicate when a third-party cookie is being sent.  Check your browser’s “help” files to learn more about handling cookies.

Pixel Tags (also called web beacons or clear GIFs) are invisible 1 x 1 pixels that are placed on webpages that use this technology for marketing and measurement purposes.  When you access these webpages, pixel tags generate a generic notice of the visit.  Pixel tags can be used with cookies or alone.  When used with cookies, pixel tags can track activity on a site by a particular device and provide relevant online advertising to you.  When you turn off cookies or have opted out of cookies, pixel tags simply detect a unique website visit and how you interacted with the advertising but do not track an individual to provide relevant online advertising.

We may collect and share the physical location of your device for purposes consistent with this Policy, such as to provide you with personalized location-based services or content.  In some instances, you may be permitted to allow or deny such use of your device’s location, but if you choose to deny such use, we may not be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services or content.

We may use a tracking technique that employs embedded URLs to allow use of the electronic Sources without cookies.  Embedded URLs allow limited information to follow you as you navigate the electronic Sources.

When third parties are given access to Personal Information, we will take appropriate contractual, technical and organizational measures designed to ensure that Personal Information is processed only to the extent that such processing is necessary, consistent with this Policy, and in accordance with applicable law.

Third Party Websites and Resources

Our websites and other Sources may contain links to websites and resources owned by other individuals and entities, including those of our business affiliates, vendors, and sponsors, or may bring such third party material and resources into the Site via “inverse hyperlinks” and framing technology (collectively, the “Third Party Sites”).  We have no access to or control over Third Party Sites or cookies used by Third Party Sites.  When you access those links, you are leaving the Site and are accessing the Third Party Sites at your own risk.  We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other Third Party Sites; nor do we endorse, and we are not responsible for, the information and content contained on Third Party Sites; nor are we responsible for maintaining links to or availability of Third Party Sites.  We encourage you to check the privacy policies of Third Party Sites before disclosing any non-public personal information. 

Our Basis For Processing Information About You

For Personal Information collected about you in the EU, our basis for processing is the following:

  • In order to communicate adequately with you and to respond to your requests, we need to process information about you and therefore have a legitimate interest in processing this information.
  • In order to engage in transactions with customers, suppliers and business partners, and to process purchases and downloads of our products and services, we need to process information about you as necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.
  • We process Personal Information for marketing and sales activities based on your consent where so indicated on our sites at the time your Personal Information was collected, or further to our legitimate interest to market and promote our products and services.
  • We rely on our legitimate interest to analyze, develop, improve and optimize our Services and Sources, products and services, and to maintain security.
  • In order to comply with applicable laws and regulations, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process, or to process an opt-out request.

Our Retention Periods For Personal Information

Personal Information about you we collect to engage in transactions with our customers, suppliers and business partners, to perform Services, and to process purchases of our products and services, will be retained for the duration of the transaction or services period, or longer as necessary for record retention and legal compliance purposes.  It will also be held for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set forth in this Policy.

If you have registered for our newsletters or to receive information from us or on one of our distribution lists, your information will be retained for as long as you we continue to provide you with such information.

Contact information such as your email address or phone number collected online on our sites or offline from our interactions with you at events and conferences, and used for direct marketing and sales activities will be retained for as long as we have a relationship with you.  We also retain this information for our former and inactive customers.

At the end of the retention period, we will delete your Personal Information in a manner designed to ensure that it cannot be reconstructed or read.  Personal information needed to retain your opt-out preferences is retained for as is necessary to comply with applicable law. 

How We Secure Your Personal Information

We strive to implement and maintain reasonable, commercially acceptable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we store, in order to protect it from unauthorized access, destruction, loss, damage, alteration, use, modification, or disclosure, as well as all other forms of unlawful processing.

However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and we are unable to guarantee the absolute security of the Personal Information we have collected from you.

Your Opt-Out Choices

We enable you to opt out of marketing communications.  If you have subscribed to or receive our marketing emails or other communications and wish to be removed from our mailing lists, you may unsubscribe at any time via the unsubscribe page linked to every email sent by our marketing automation system. 

Some non-marketing communications are not subject to general opt-out, such as communications related to software download, performance of Services by us and our vendors, sales transactions, software updates and other support related information, patches and fixes, conferences or events for which you have registered, disclosures to comply with legal requirements, and (where permitted by law) quality assurance surveys.  Some additional communications with business partners are also not subject to general-opt out, including product alerts, updates, contractual marketing and sales materials, and other notices related to business partner status.
