This privacy policy covers the collection and use of personal information that may be collected by us anytime you interact with us. Please take a moment to learn more about our information collection, storage and usage practices.

WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use the information received from you to tailor your experiences with us and provide you with the specific information or services you are seeking. With the information you volunteer, we can customize the page content, alert you to updates or additions to our Site and products, and provide you with specific product and local event information. This information is then added to the information retained in our customer database.

COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

We use “cookies” and other technologies to help understand which parts of our web properties are the most popular and how much time users spend there. We also use cookies and other technologies to make sure that our online advertising is effective, to study traffic patterns on our web properties, and to increase the usability as well as to study the effectiveness of our customer communications.

We also gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, to analyze trends, to administer the Site, to track users’ movements around the Site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. In some of our email messages we use a “click-through URL” linked to content that we or another entity maintains. When a customer clicks one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We take precautions—including administrative, technical, and physical measures—to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required or presented. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it’s transmitted over the Internet.

We have invested time and resources to ensure that our online and internal security procedures help safeguard your information. When you see either a solid key icon or a locked padlock icon in your browser window, your connection with our Site is secured through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Pages requesting personal information should always have one of these icons. If you do not see one of these icons, please contact us to complete your transaction over the phone.

You can help us by also taking precautions to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure web browser. While we try to prevent third party access to personally identifiable information, Internet communications are not always secure. We cannot promise you that third parties can not access your personally identifiable information. It is a condition of your use of this Site that you agree we are not liable for any such disclosure.

WHEN WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

To keep your information confidential, we do not release your personal information, except as we describe below or as required by law. We only use the personal information we collect to support and develop your relationship with us, our affiliates, and our strategic business partners. Some of these partners and affiliates may be located in other countries. We will not release your personal information to our strategic business partners unless they are bound by a nondisclosure agreement.

In the event we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. If such a transaction occurs, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you in the event we share with the merging or acquiring entity some or all of your personal information to continue serving you, which may be by prominent notice on our Site.

To send you information about Wrightsoft products and services we may occasionally send your personal information temporarily to distribution services such as email or mail. These vendors and business partners are required to protect and manage the personal information to the same high standards Wrightsoft uses, and they cannot use the information for purposes other than to provide the services Wrightsoft has requested. Wrightsoft never sells, rents, or shares your personal information except as required by law. We reserve the right to release any information about you in a good faith effort to protect our systems or business. Also, we can release personal information when we reasonably believe you to be in violation of our current or later Terms of Use (noted in this Site's legal disclaimer) or other published guidelines, or reasonably believe you to have initiated or participated in any illegal activity. We can release this information without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order in response to court and governmental orders, civil subpoenas, discovery requests, and other legal requirements.

HOW DOES THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT AFFECT ME OUTSIDE THE U.S.?

To the extent applicable, we attempt to comply with local data protection rights laws. If you are unsure whether this privacy statement is in conflict with applicable local rules, you should not submit your information. If you are located within the European Union, you should note that your information will be transferred to the United States, which is deemed by the European Union to have inadequate data protection.

We have made an effort to add greater protection. Nevertheless, in accordance with local laws implementing European Union Directive 95/46/EC of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data ("EU Privacy Directive"), customers located in countries outside of the United States of America who submit personal information do thereby consent to the general use of such information as provided in this Privacy Statement and to its transfer to and/or storage in the United States of America.

IS MY INFORMATION PUBLIC IN THE PUBLIC FORUM?

Please remember that any information (including personal information) that you disclose in public areas of our Site, becomes public information that others may collect, circulate, and use. Because we cannot and do not control the acts of others, you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose information about yourself or others in public forums such as these. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Statement at any time. Use of the Site is subject to the Terms of Use outlined in the legal section of this Site.

If you are dissatisfied with the Site, by all means contact us at webmaster@Wrightsoft.com but otherwise your only recourse is to disconnect from this site.
