PRIVACY POLICY
We respect the privacy of visitors to our site. This Privacy Policy governs
the use and collection of information from you by Sylex-10 ("we"
or "us") through your use of this site. This Privacy Policy does
not apply to any information you may provide to us through other means; for
example, at a live event, via mail, or via telephone. Please read this Privacy
Policy carefully so that you understand our online privacy practices. By visiting
this site, you agree that your visit, and any dispute over our online privacy
practices, is governed by this Privacy Policy and our Visitor Agreement. Questions
regarding privacy issues should be directed to: webmaster@sylex-10.com.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any
information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses, and phone
numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else. We won't knowingly allow
anyone under 13 to register with our site or to provide any other personally
identifying information. If you’re under 13, please do not provide us with
any personally identifying information about yourself (such as your name,
your email address or your phone number).
TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The information we gather falls into two categories: (1) information (for
example, your name and address) that you voluntarily supply when you register
or initiate transactions, and (2) information gathered on usage patterns and
preferences as visitors navigate through our site, use our services such as
procurring a developer, or read our email newsletters. In some cases, it is
an agent or affiliate of ours that collects the information on our behalf.
Third party providers featured on or linked to by our site, such as vendors
of products and services offered through our site, may be gathering the same
kinds of information.
Registration Information.
To make use of certain features on our site (such as to receive email newsletters)
visitors need to register and to provide certain information as part of the
registration process. We may also ask for information from those who buy products
or services or conduct other transactions on our site. The information you
supply will help us to offer you more personalized features, to tailor our
site to your interests, and to process e-commerce transactions that may be
made available on our site.
The more you tell us about yourself, the more value we can offer you. Supplying
such information is entirely voluntary. But if you don't supply the information
we need, we may be unable to provide you with services we make available to
other visitors to our site. For example, we can't send you our email newsletters
if you don't give us your email address.
Contests and Other Promotions.
From time to time, we may offer contests, sweepstakes or other promotions
on our site. If you enter one of these promotions, you'll have to provide
information about yourself (such as your name, address, telephone number and
email address) so that we can contact you if you win. We may share this information
with any wholly or majority-owned subsidiary of Sylex-10 and any co-sponsor
of the promotion (we will identify any co-sponsor in the official rules for
the promotion). If you don't want us to collect the information requested
in the registration form or to provide it to any wholly or majority-owned
subsidiary of Sylex-10 or contest co-sponsors, please do not enter the contest
or sweepstakes.
Cookies.
To help make our sites more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we use
a standard feature of browser software, called a "cookie," to assign
each visitor a unique, random number that resides on your computer. The cookie
doesn't actually identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor uses
to access our site. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration,
for example), we won't know who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your
computer. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information
you supply. A cookie can't read unrelated data off your hard drive. Our advertisers
and the third parties that provide products or services through our site may
also assign their own cookies to your browser, a process that we don't control.
We use cookies to help us tailor our site to your needs, to deliver a better, more personalized service. For example, we may use cookies to avoid showing you the same ad, repeatedly, during a single visit. In addition, we may use cookies to track the pages on our site visited by our users. We can build a better site if we know which pages our users are visiting and how often. Of course, you can set your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to our site.
Other Methods of Collecting Information.
Our web pages may contain electronic images (called "single-pixel GIFs"
or "web beacons") that allow us and our vendors to count users who
have visited particular pages or to access certain cookies. We may use these
tools and other technologies to recognize which pages users visit, and which
links they click on. These features may also be included in our email newsletters
so that we can learn which messages have been opened and acted upon. We may
also be able to verify your online purchases from us or from third party sites
that have agreed to share such information with us.
Browser Level Information and IP Addresses.
Our web servers may automatically collect limited information about your computer
configuration when you visit our site, including the type of browser software
you use, the operating system you're running, the resolution of your computer
monitor, the website that referred you, and your IP address. (Your IP address
is a numerical address that is used by computers connected to the Internet
to identify your computer so that data (such as the web pages you want to
view) can be transmitted to you. We may also use IP address information for
systems administration and trouble shooting purposes. (Your IP address does
not tell us who you are.) We may use this information to deliver our web pages
to you upon request, to tailor our site to the interests of our users, and
to measure traffic within our site.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Advertisers.
Without your permission, we will not share the personally-identifiable information
you provide when registering on our site with advertisers. We may, however,
take the information you provide and aggregate it with data from all the other
people that use this site and associated services. Then we will use that pool
of information to inform advertisers about our audience without identifying
you personally.
Vendors and Service Providers.
To make our site more valuable to our visitors, we may offer some features
in conjunction with other providers ("Provider Partners"). Our email
newsletters and promotional items, for example, may be made available through
cooperative arrangements with providers that specialize in operating such
services. In some instances, our Provider Partners will have the same access
to your information as we do. Their use of the information will be subject
to the terms of their respective privacy policies, which you can find on their
websites.
Our Affiliates.
We may share the information that we collect from you with any wholly or majority-owned
subsidiary of Sylex-10 so that we and they can provide you with products and
services provided by these entities that we believe may be of interest to
you.
Statistical Information.
Much of the information we collect is in the form of aggregated statistics,
such as the traffic that visits various pages within our sites, and the habits
and preferences of our audience. Such aggregated information does not include
any information that would identify you personally. We may use such aggregated
information and disclose it to third parties as we see fit.
Sites to which we link.
Our site includes links to other websites, and provides access to products
and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we don't control.
When you access another site or purchase products or services or conduct other
transactions through our site, use of any information you provide is governed
by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you're visiting or the provider
of such products or services, even if it appears that you’re on Sylex-10 branded
pages.
Other Disclosures.
We may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is
appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our Visitor Agreement, or to protect
the rights, property or safety of visitors to our site, the public, our customers,
or our company and its employees, agents, partners and affiliates. As our
business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event that
our company, or the bulk of our assets relating to this site, is acquired
by another company, information on our visitors would be among the transferred
assets.
NEWSLETTERS AND PROMOTIONS
Newsletters.
We may offer you the opportunity to subscribe to email newsletters on various
topics that we believe are of interest to our visitors. If you have opted
to receive a particular newsletter, you can always unsubscribe later by sending
an email to webmaster@sylex-10.com or by clicking on the unsubscribe link
at the bottom of the newsletter.
Promotional Emails.
If you provide us with your email address, from time to time we may send you
emails about Sylex-10 properties, services and special offers that we believe
may be of interest to you. When you register, you will also be given an opportunity
to tell us whether you would like to receive emails about products, services
and special offers from third-party providers. Though we hope that you will
find both types of promotional emails helpful, if you decide that you no longer
wish to receive either or both types of emails, please send an e-mail to webmaster@sylex-10.com
or by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the newsletter. Of
course, you may change your preferences at any time. We will make any changes
you request as quickly as we can.
SHOPPING
For e-commerce transactions (such as purchasing software) that may be made
available on this site, when you are ready to make a purchase on our site,
we will ask you to provide us with certain information, including your contact
details (such as your name, address, telephone and email), and your billing
information (such as your credit card number and the date that your card expires).
We may also ask you to provide additional information such as unique identifiers
(such as your date of birth), and registration information (login name and
password).
We will use the information you provide us to process your transaction and to contact you regarding your purchase if necessary. We will share this information with our Provider Partners to the extent necessary to facilitate your purchase (for purposes such as customer service, verification, fulfillment and billing purposes).
REVIEWING INFORMATION; OPTING OUT
If you register with us, you will have the opportunity to review, update,
or delete the information you have provided us at any time (except, of course,
any information that we do not store) by entering your user name and password
in the “User Login” portion of the “Register” section of our site. If you
remove your registration information completely, you may not be able to continue
using certain services that require registration (such as receiving email
newsletters). You agree that we may use your information to contact you for
customer service, to inform you of important changes or additions to our site
or the services offered over our site and to send you administrative notices
or any communications relevant to your use of our site. If you do not wish
to receive these notices, please do not register with our site.
If you have submitted your information on a page provided in conjunction with one of our Provider Partners, the information you submit may be jointly maintained by us and the Provider Partner. If you decide to opt out on our site, you may also need to contact the Provider Partner separately to request the Provider Partner to remove your information from its database.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
A final note: The Web is an evolving medium. If we need to change our privacy
policy at some point in the future, we'll post a revised Privacy Policy on
this website and update the reference to the effective date that appears at
the top to reflect the effective date of the revised Privacy Policy.
