We will never share your information with third parties unless you give express permission for us to do so, or unless we are required to do so under applicable law.
In order to participate in some activities, you might be asked to provide some personally identifiable information. This could be in connection with the following:
- software evaluation registration
- subscription registration for sites or services which require subscription (such as email newsletters)
- purchase transactions
- content submissions, community postings (i.e., forums or bulletin boards), comments and suggestions, or voting
- contest or sweepstakes registration
- bug and application log submission

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
If you chose to have a relationship with us such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship.
Our employees, approved contractors or resellers have access to personally identifiable customer information. All employees, contractors, and resellers are legally bound by standard non-disclosure agreements to uphold this policy and observe your right to privacy and confidentiality.
We store all email transactions with customers, partners, and software evaluators to have a history of our interactions that can be used for Pre-Sales Support and Technical Support.
We may occasionally conduct online surveys that may ask you for demographic information (your location, position, tool use, etc.) If the online survey collects contact data such as your e-mail address (although generally they do not), we will use that data to send you further information only if the form specifically asks for your permission and you give it. You are free to revoke any such permission at any time.
