Changes in Privacy Policy
All "personal information" ("personal information" is defined as any information that
identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information
pertains) that we collect and maintain will be subject to the version of the Privacy
Policy in effect at the time of such collection. The Company reserves the right to change
the Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion, and will provide notice
of material changes on the home page of the Site. If as the result of such changes, you
want to alter the ways in which the Company is allowed to use your personal information,
you can do so by following the procedure described below in the section titled "Updating
Your Personal Information and Privacy Preferences." You will be deemed to have been made
aware of, and will be subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy by your continued
use of the Site after such notice has been posted for thirty (30) days with the following
exception: If at the time you provide personal information to The Company you are given
the opportunity (as you currently are) to limit how such information will be used to
communicate with you, either by the Company or by third parties, the Company will not
change your preference in this regard without your express consent. However, if the Company
sells assets (or the assets of a division or subsidiary) to another entity, or the Company
(or a division or subsidiary) is acquired by, or merged with, another entity, the Company
may provide to such entity customer information that is related to that part of our business
that was sold to or merged with the other entity without your consent.
Entities Collecting Personal Information
Personal information on this Site is collected by the Company.
The Site contains links to other sites at which personal information is collected. In
such instances, unless expressly provided to the contrary, the collection and use of
your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site.
That privacy policy should identify the entity that is collecting your personal information.
Collection of Personal Information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal
information. In connection with other activities, such as subscribing to the collaboration
services offered on the Site or utilizing online software applications, The Company may
ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an
online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you
elect to engage in these activities, however, the Company may ask that you provide us
personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including ZIP
code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers,
and other personal information. When ordering products or services on the Site, you may
be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information
that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do
not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be
able to engage in that activity.
When you submit personal information to the Company through this Site, you understand
and agree that this information may be transferred across national boundaries and may
be stored and processed in any of the countries in which the Company and its affiliates
and subsidiaries maintain offices, including, without limitation, the United States.
You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities,
the collection, transferring, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken
by trusted vendors of the Company. Such vendors are bound by contract not to use your
personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties. One instance
where this could occur is in conjunction with framed pages in which the URL for the pages
is not visible and the pages are being hosted by a vendor of the Company.
How Your Personal Information is Used
The Company collects your information in order to record and support your participation
in the activities you select. If you subscribe to a service or register a product, for
example, the information is used to register your rights, if any, to technical support
or other benefits that may be made available to registered users. As another example,
if you enter a contest, information is collected to qualify the entry and contact you
regarding the contest or prize awards. Your personal information is also used to keep
you informed about product upgrades, special offers, and other products and services
of the Company and selected third parties if The Company may collect information about
the use of the Site, such as the types of services used and how many users we receive
daily. This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user
individually. The Company may use this aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for
statistical analysis, marketing, or similar promotional purposes.
In addition, the Company may also use any communications sent for the purpose of showing
Testimonials. You have the right to request that your information not be used in a Testimonial.
Such requests must be made in writing and sent to the Company via e-mail or letter.
Your Choices With Respect to Personal Information
The Company recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information
collected on this Site. Without your consent, the Company will not communicate any information
to you regarding products, services, and special offers available from the Company, although
we may find it necessary to communicate with you regarding your use of the services on
this Site. Except in the particular circumstances described in this Privacy Policy, the
Company will also not provide your name to other companies or organizations without your
consent.
There are other instances in which the Company may divulge your personal information.
The Company may provide your personal information if necessary, in the Company's good
faith judgment, to comply with laws or regulations of a governmental or regulatory body
or in response to a valid subpoena, warrant, or order or to protect the rights of the
Company or others.
Protection of Your Personal Information
The personal information that you provide in connection with registering yourself as
a user of the Company products or services or registering an the Company product is classified
as Registration Information. Registration Information is protected in several ways. Access
by you to your Registration Information is available through a password and unique customer
ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge
your password to anyone. In addition, your Registration Information resides on a secure
server that only selected the Company personnel and contractors have access to via password.
The Company encrypts your personal information and thereby strives to prevent unauthorized
parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to the Company. Personal
information that you provide that does not constitute Registration Information also resides
on a secure server and is only accessible to selected the Company personnel and contractors
via password. Since this information is not accessible by you, you will not be asked
to select a password in order to view or modify such information.

server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification
card, and enables The Company to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences. It

not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.)
While the Company uses cookies to track your visit to the Site, and our Web servers automatically
log the IP/Internet address of your computer, The Company does not generally use this
information to identify you personally. However, if you expressly provide consent for
the Site to "remember" the unique identifier that you select when you register for various
activities on the site, that unique identifier will be stored on a cookie on your computer,
linked to your registration information, and your navigation path around the site will

offers and indicating on another occasion that they may not), the Company cannot guarantee
that your most recent privacy preference will be honored.
Also, please note that the Company is not responsible for the content or privacy practices
