Policies

We at Roundstone Systems know you take your privacy seriously. Information about our users is an important part of our business and it is necessary that we collect certain information if users wish to utilize advanced Roundstone Systems features. We are not in the business of selling user information to others. We share information only as described below.

What this Privacy Policy Covers
This privacy policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information that Roundstone Systems collects when you are on any Roundstone Systems site and when you use Roundstone Systems services. This policy also covers Roundstone Systems' treatment of any personally identifiable information that Roundstone Systems business partners share with Roundstone Systems as well as what happens to personal information in the unlikely event that Roundstone Systems sells or transfers its business assets. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Roundstone Systems does not own or control, or to people that Roundstone Systems does not employ or manage.

Information Collection and Use
Roundstone Systems is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this privacy statement.

Creating an Roundstone Systems User ID
Roundstone Systems enables members to create Roundstone Systems User IDs. During registration, a member is required to provide his or her contact information (such as name, e-mail address, state, country, and zip code), as well as some basic demographic information (such as role, title, business focus/industry, purchasing influence, and component interest). By doing so, we can provide a more personalized experience on our site. Once you register with Roundstone Systems and sign in to our services, you are no longer anonymous to Roundstone Systems administrators.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies that Roundstone Systems creates that are stored on the user’s hard drive do not store any personally identifiable information. Some of our business partners may use cookies within our network. However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

Log Files
To plan resource requirements and measure the success of certain site features, Roundstone Systems uses IP addresses to analyze trends, administer to the network, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers to measure the success of services and campaigns. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

Links
Roundstone Systems Web sites contain links to other IT-related Web sites. Please be aware that Roundstone Systems is not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by Roundstone Systems Web sites.

E-mail Lists
If a user wishes to subscribe to any Roundstone Systems e-mail list, we ask for the user’s e-mail address. The user will be notified of receipt through a confirmation e-mail. E-mail addresses provided by users for newsletter subscriptions will not be sold or provided to third parties, except as noted in Business Transfers. Roundstone Systems periodically sends service updates and topic-relevant content through its newsletters. These infrequent but useful updates keep Roundstone Systems newsletter subscribers up-to-date with important information related to the topics to which they are subscribed.

Roundstone Systems Events
If a user wishes to register for an event through Roundstone Systems events, we ask for the user’s e-mail address and some basic demographic information. Registration information will not be sold or provided to third parties, except as noted in Business Transfers. Roundstone Systems periodically sends updates and topic-relevant content through e-mail communication. These infrequent but useful updates keep Roundstone Systems event registrants up-to-date with important information related to the events and topics to which they registered.

Security
Roundstone Systems takes every precaution to protect our users’ privacy. When users submit sensitive information via any Roundstone Systems Web site, your information is protected both online and offline.

Your Roundstone Systems account information is password-protected for your privacy and security. Access to any user information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is heavily restricted within our company. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our system administrators) are granted access to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. In addition, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

If you have any questions about the security of Roundstone Systems Web sites, please contact info@roundstonesystems.com to request further information.

Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes, or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. To correct/update personal information, please contact webmaster@roundstonesystems.com with details of the requested change.

Personally Identifiable Information
We treat your personally identifiable information carefully. We may use personally identifiable information in order to offer services and functionality that are a part of our business. In accordance, your personally identifiable information will only be made available to other companies in the following circumstances:

• We have your explicit consent to share such information.
• We may employ companies to act as our agent to perform specific services on our behalf. For instance, we may employ a company to distribute and manage e-mail messages on our behalf, such as in the case of newsletters and advertisements. These companies have agreed to keep user information confidential and to use it only to perform the service(s) we have employed them to perform on our behalf. Your information will not be shared or sold by these agents under any circumstances.

Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell businesses or business assets. In such transactions, user information generally is one of the transferred assets. In the unlikely event that Roundstone Systems sells Roundstone Systems, or one or more of its properties, user information will be one of the transferred assets.

With Your Consent
Other than as stated above, you will receive notice or be prompted to provide explicit approval when information about you may go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share information.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will make these changes available from our home page so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an e-mail. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we are authorized to use their information. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
