Software By Design Inc. Website Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Software By Design Inc. collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Software By Design Inc.’s purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how SoftwareByDesign.com visitors use the website. From time to time, Software By Design Inc. may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Software By Design Inc. also collects potentially-personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Software By Design Inc. does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Collecting Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Software By Design Inc.’s websites choose to interact with SoftwareByDesign.com in ways that require SoftwareByDesign.com to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that SoftwareByDesign.com gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, SoftwareByDesign.com asks visitors who post comments or use the Resource Library to provide a username and email address. In each case, SoftwareByDesign.com collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with SoftwareByDesign.com. Software By Design Inc. does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Software By Design Inc. discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Software By Design Inc.’s behalf or to provide services available at Software By Design Inc.’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Software By Design Inc.’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Software By Design Inc. will not rent or sell potentially-personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Software By Design Inc. discloses potentially-personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Software By Design Inc. believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Software By Design Inc., third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Software By Design Inc. website and have supplied your email address, Software By Design Inc. may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Software By Design Inc. and our products. Software By Design Inc. takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially-personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
