Our Commitment to Privacy
Our
Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to
combine the highest-quality products and services with the highest
level of integrity in dealing with our clients and partners. The Policy
is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and
safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you
in making informed decisions when using our site, our products and
services. This statement will be continuously assessed against new
technologies, business practices and our customers' needs.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site, you may provide us with two types of
information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that
is collected on an individual basis and/or Web site use information
collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Email Information
If
you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the
content of your email messages together with your email address and our
responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic
communications that we employ in the maintenance of information
received by mail and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes Web server
logs to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information
gathered through Web server logs may include the date and time of
visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites
visited just before and just after our Web site. This information is
collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated
with you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of
administering our business activities, providing customer service and
making available other products and services to our customers and
prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we
collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new
services and special offers we think you will find valuable. The lists
used to send you product and service offers are developed and managed
under our traditional corporate standards designed to safeguard the
security and privacy of our customers' personal information. As a
customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire
not to receive these offers.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Web Server Logs?
In order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our
customers, we use Web site browser software tools such as Web server
logs to gather information about our Web site users' browsing
activities. This information assists us to design and arrange our Web
pages in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our
Web site to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective
customers. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our
Web site and evaluate our Web site's visitor capacity. We do not use
these technologies to capture your individual email address or any
personally identifying information about you although they do permit us
to send focused online banner advertisements or other such responses to
you.
Sharing Information with Strategic Partners
We
may enter into strategic marketing alliances or partnerships with third
parties who may be given access to personal information including your
name, address, telephone number, and email for the purpose of providing
you information regarding products and services that we think will be
of interest to you. In connection with strategic marketing alliances or
partnerships, we will retain all ownership rights to the information.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we
think you will find valuable. As our client, you will be given the
opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by
clicking on a response box when you receive such an offer or by sending
us an email request at webmaster@solsticesoftware.com.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
Email
that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that
security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the
information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential
information such as Social Security or account numbers to us through an
unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
Evaluation of Information Protection Practices.
Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for
compliance with corporate policies and procedures governing the
security, confidentiality and quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations.
Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies, and practices are
committed to the protection of customer information. In general, our
business practices limit employee access to confidential information
and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized
persons, processes and transactions.
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information
that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing webmaster@solsticesoftware.com.
Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales, Web
site traffic patterns, and related Web site information to our
affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information will not
include personally identifying data, except as otherwise provided in
this Privacy Policy.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so. In other
words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for
the protection of our legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked
to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained
therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers
to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web
site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our
Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in
effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including
Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web
site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and
policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your
personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change
our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our
Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use
it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
