II. PRIVACY POLICY
INFORMATION GATHERED
We are the sole owner of the information collected on the Site. We collect personally identifiable information from our users at several different points on the Site. We gather two types of information from you when you visit the Site: information you submit to us voluntarily, whether for registration, newsletter or other purposes; and information the Site gathers automatically.
INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE US
You do not need to provide us with personally identifiable information to use many features of the Site. To respond to your requests or enable you to register on the Site, however, we may request you to submit certain personally identifiable information such as your name, residential and/or business address, email address and/or telephone number(s). Contact information you provide may be used to contact you or to respond to your requests. If you do not wish to receive information from us, you may opt-out of receiving future mailings by responding as directed in the opt-out instructions or by contacting us directly at info@egenera.com.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When users browse our Site, we may log the IP address and other typical tracking information, but the users’ identities remain anonymous. This information is aggregated into our log files as site-wide information and is used for system administration, security and auditing purposes. We may also use the IP addresses to gather statistical information for marketing purposes.
As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
SECURITY
While we try to prevent third party access to personally identifiable information, internet communications are not always secure. We cannot promise you that third parties cannot access your personally identifiable information. It is a condition of your use of this Site that you agree we are not liable for any such disclosure.
Egenera also may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements
INFORMATION SHARING
We may use personally identifiable information that you provide for support services, marketing and statistical purposes. However, it is not our business practice to rent or lease or otherwise provide personally identifiable information that you may provide to us through the Site to third parties for commercial use, except in connection with the marketing and support of our products and services. We may also disclose such personally identifiable information about our users as required by law or to protect the rights, property or safety of ourselves, our users, or others. We do not sell or rent users’ names or email addresses to other companies so that they can send unsolicited email or written promotional materials. We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as provide marketing assistance, process credit card payments, or provide customer service, but the purpose of such companies’ or individuals’ use of such information is generally limited to performing their function for us.
BUSINESS TRANSITIONS
In the event we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. It is Egenera’s policy to seek appropriate protection for personally identifiable information in these types of transactions consistent with general commercial practices.
OPT-OUT OPTIONS
We understand you may desire to stop receiving promotional messages from us. You will be given the opportunity to stop receiving future email communication, or any newsletter or other regular mailing, by following the opt-out instructions included in each mailing or by contacting us at privacy@egenera.com.
You also have a right to access your personal data we have collected. Contact privacy@egenera.com to find out how to retrieve this info
