Safesoft International Inc. has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate
our firm's commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering
and dissemination practices.
|
Links to Other Sites
|
|
This privacy statement applies only to information collected by a Safesoft web site.
The Safesoft web site might contain links to other sites that are not owned or administered
by Safesoft. Please be aware that Safesoft is not responsible for the privacy practices
of such other third party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements
of every web site you visit.
|
Active and Passive Collection
|
On our sites, we collect information in two ways: actively and passively. Active
information collection refers to instances in which you voluntarily provide information
to us, such as by completing a registration form, signing up for an electronic newsletter,
or sending us a message via an e-mail reply mechanism provided by any of our sites.
Passive information collection refers to instances in which we collect information
from you that you have not actively provided.
Generally, collected information can be in a personally identifiable form ("personal
data" or "personally identifiable information") as well as in a manner that does
not allow you to be identified.
|
Collection and Use of the Personal Data You Provided To Us
|
|
You can visit most of our sites without disclosing your personally identifiable
information and we do not collect personal data from you unless you may choose to
voluntarily provide it to us. When a visitor chooses to provide personally identifiable
information to Safesoft, Safesoft uses this information solely for the purposes
for which it was provided as described at the time of collection. For example, you
may choose to provide us with your name and postal or e-mail address to correspond
with you or to provide you with the service or information you requested but we
will not contact you for any unrelated reasons. If you give us personal information
about somebody else, we assume that you have that person's permission to do so.
We generally retain personal data only for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose
for which it was collected.
|
We Collect when You Access our Sites
|
When you access our sites, our servers automatically log information about your
visits in the normal course of establishing and maintaining web connections. Server
logs record statistical information, such as visitors' IP addresses, type of operating
systems, time and duration of visit, web pages requested, and identify categories
of visitors by items such as domains and browser types. These statistics are reported
in aggregate form and are used to optimize the web experience for visitors. This
site uses Internet protocol (IP) addresses. IP addresses are unique identifiers
automatically assigned to each computer when logging onto the Internet. IP addresses
allow us to collect much of the same information we collect through cookies, including
browser type, what pages you visit, and how long you stay on the Site. In general,
IP addresses allow us to identify problems with our servers, prepare aggregate demographic
information and other information regarding this use of this Site, and improve the
functions of this site.
We use "cookies" and other technologies to collect personally non-identifiable information
from your visits to our website to enhance your overall site experience and for
statistical purposes. A cookie is a block of data that a web server places on a
user's PC. Typically, it is used to ease navigation through the site. However, it
is also a useful means of the website identifying the user, tracking the user's
path through the site, and identifying repeat visits to the site by the same user
(or same user's machine). This can then lead to a website owner being able to profile
an individual user's browsing habits - and all potentially done without the knowledge,
or consent, of the user.
Most browsers can be set to prevent cookies being downloaded onto a PC. You can
look into the "cookie" or "Temporary Internet" folder of your PC and see if you
can identify a cookie placed by your site. Cookies often, but not always, contain
site names. However, if you turn off the "cookies", some websites may not work properly.
We employ a technique called data tagging to collect web site traffic information.
Data tagging works by embedding tags on the website that transmit relevant data
to a centralized data collection facility. The data tags are a small piece of JavaScript
code that transmits page-specific information via query string parameters. We do
not tie the information gathered by data tagging to our visitors' personally identifiable
information.
We generally do not link passively collected non-personally identifiable information
with personal data you have actively provided elsewhere on any of our sites. We
do not link server log information to any other data in a way that would enable
us to identify individual visitors. However, we may review server logs for security
purposes, for example, to detect threats to our IT system. Please be advised that
it is possible for server log data containing IP addresses to be used in instances
of suspected criminal activities to identify an individual. In such instances, raw
data logs may be shared with authorized law enforcement agencies.
|
Disclosure to Third Parties
|
Safesoft does not share personal data provided by visitors of Safesoft web sites
with external third parties unless explicitly requested by the visitor. We sometime
provide information to other companies that work on our behalf in order to help
deliver publications or services as requested by a visitor or to facilitate the
purpose for which the personal data was received. BearingPoint's website is hosted
on servers owned and operated by a third party. These third party agents are required
to keep personal information confidential and are prohibited from using it for any
unrelated purpose.
Safesoft does not use personal data collected from its websites to facilitate unsolicited
marketing activities.
Please be aware that it is possible that personal data you provide to Safesoft may
be subject to disclosure under the law (e.g., pursuant to a statutory provision,
a court order, or a subpoena) or in case BearingPoint needs to defend its rights.
|
Access, Correction and Deletion of Personal Data
|
|
You have the right to reasonably access your personal data collected by Safesoft
and we will provide you with a possibility to verify that your personal data is
accurate and up to date.
|
Security of Your Personal Data
|
|
Safesoft takes various organizational and technical steps to protect your personal
data from unauthorized or unintended use or disclosure. However, you should note
that no transfer of data over the internet is completely secure. While we use reasonable
efforts to protect personal data under our control, when data is transferred over
the Internet it may potentially be accessed and used by unauthorized parties. Safesoft
has no control over the performance or security of the Internet and does not warrant
that any communication through the Internet is secure and is not liable for any
damages resulting from a data breach due to any reason beyond Safesoft's reasonable
control.
