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

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.

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, Canada. 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 you have so opted to receive such communications.
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.

Protection of Your Personal Information

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 the selected 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.
