At SimTech, we are committed to protecting your privacy.
SimTech has created this privacy statement in
order to demonstrate the company’s firm commitment to privacy. This
policy is about personal information that SimTech collects and receives.
Personal information is information about you that may be personally
identifiable like your name, organization, address, zip code, email address, or
phone number, and that may or may not be otherwise publicly available. This
policy applies to the practices of companies that SimTech own or control or to
people that SimTech employs or manages.
We respect your right to privacy and we understand that visitors to our web
site (mindmapper.com) need to be in control of their personal information. We also
want to present information on mindmapper.com that is tailored to the needs of our
visitors. For this reason, we may ask you to register or to provide personal
information when you visit certain areas of our site, download and register
software, subscribe to a newsletter or join online forums. We will use this
information to ensure the content, services, and advertising that we provide
are tailored to your current and future needs. If you provide SimTech with your
e-mail, SimTech may contact you via e-mail as well. If you do not want SimTech
to contact you, you may opt out when you provide personal information or
contact SimTech directly. If you choose not to register or provide personal
information, you will still be granted to most of SimTech Web sites. However,
you will not have access to areas that require personal identification. We do
update our policy from time to time without notice so please check back
periodically. All updates will be published at this site.
What we collect
We will ask you when we need information
that personally identify you or allows us to contact you. Personal information
collected online by SimTech is often limited to e-mail address, language,
country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a
service you requested.
We collect your information
when you register a product, download free software, request a service, join
online forums, correspond with us or engage in certain other activities on our
web site.
How we use
We may use the personal information
collected on mindmapper.com to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; product upgrade, product update, newsletters,
tutorials, our terms of service and privacy policy; services and products
offered by us and other affiliates and partners; and other topics we think you
might find of interest.
Personal information collected by us may also be used for
other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of
sweepstakes and contests, and other communication with you.
With whom we may share
your information
In addition to the information provided
above with respect to how SimTech will use your personal information, you
should be aware of the following:
We reserve the right to
share this information with the subcontractors, including for example our
subcontractors for technical support. We share the information to assure that,
should you need technical support, you will be able to receive it properly.
SimTech may provide your information to more than one such subcontractor. In
many cases a technical support subcontractor and a distributor may be the same
company.
Your information will only
be transferred to authorized distributors or sub-contractors of SimTech USA, Inc.
SimTech will provide your personal information to its distributors located in
where you reside so that the distributors may notify you of upgrades, updates,
and new products. We require that these distributors or sub-contractors keep
the personal information of customers secure and confidential. We also require
that these contractors use personal information only on behalf of SimTech.
SimTech can share aggregated
demographic information with advertisers or service companies. This is not
linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
SimTech can also partner with another party to provide specific services. When
the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact
information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except
for the purpose of providing these services.
SimTech will disclose your
personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in
the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the
edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on SimTech or the SimTech
Web site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of SimTech and its Web
sites, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of
users of MindMapper, its Web sites,
or the public.
How we control
When you register, or otherwise give us
personal information, SimTech will not share that information with third parties
without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed.
It will only be used for the purposes stated above.
SimTech respects the rights
users give us when opting to receive e-mail communications and enforces
internal policies to preserve those rights. It is our objective to retain the
long-term ability to continue to communicate with our users.
If you do not want SimTech
or SimTech representatives to contact you, you may "opt out" of this
preference at any time, whether you're online or contacting SimTech directly.
As part of your preference flexibility, you'll always have the option to opt
back in and have SimTech contact you based on your previous or new preferences.
Please refer to the section "Contact Information" below.
