Y-Change, Inc. and affiliates respect your preferences concerning the collection and use of your personal data. Our goal is to deliver relevant content targeted to the industry you work in, the products you use, the role you play in your organization, and your unique preferences. In order to provide you with relevant information, fulfill your specific requests, and enhance your experience across our Web site, we will, at times, request personal information from you. This policy is our way of letting you know how we collect information, what we collect it for, and what choices you may have.
First and foremost, your personal information will be regarded with the utmost respect. Y-Change also provides links to non-Y-Change sites we believe may be of interest to you. These sites are provided as a convenience and are beyond our control. You are advised to check the privacy policies of those sites before providing your personal information to them.
1) What personally identifiable information does Y-Change collect from you?
Y-Change collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site. In general, you can visit the Y-Change Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. We track visiting domains, internet addresses of the domains from which people visit us to track a user's session and the user's browser also lets us know the type of computer and operating system being used. This allows us to analyze the information as to which parts of our site users spend their time and their length of stay but does not give us any personal information about the user. Specifically, a user's session will be tracked, but the user will be anonymous.
Sometimes however, we will ask you to voluntarily provide information about yourself. Generally this information is requested when you are asked for one or more of the following: 1) to register before downloading software; 2) registering for attendance to an online seminar, demo or a seminar or tradeshow; 3) filling out a sales information request or contact form; 4), viewing a recorded event; 5) becoming a registered user; 6) signing up for a mailing list; 7) during correspondence with us; 8) entering a sweepstakes or other promotional/informational feature via the Web site, or 9) completing a survey that we use for research, and 10) any other such activities as we deem necessary. Occasionally, we may use this information when we notify you about important changes to the Web site. Y-Change does not collect any personally identifiable financial or health-related information. However, you may be asked to provide information, including but not limited to, your name, e-mail address, postal address and telephone number.
You make the decision whether to proceed with any activity that requests personal information. If you do not wish to provide the requested information, you may not be able to complete the applicable transaction.
2) How Y-Change collects and will use information collected:
Y-Change is the owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, trade or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this privacy policy. Y-Change may collect information from several points on our website.
When we capture such information about your session or about you, we may use it for research or to improve our Web site and the services we offer you. We will ask you if you want us to use the information you provide to continue contact with you. The mediums in which we may contact you are including but not limited to e-mail, telephone, or postal mail (for example, to send you information or special offers, or for other marketing purposes). We will not contact you unless you have either given us permission to do so or are a customer of Y-Change.
When placing an order or requesting a download, we may require that you first complete the registration/order form, including contact information such as name, mailing address, and your shipping address. This contact information is also used if we have trouble processing your order.
Additionally, we will use information to assist us in creating content that is relevant to you, to assist us in creating better products and services to meet your needs, to provide you with access to services or otherwise engage in activities you select, and to help you quickly find software, services, or product information important to you.
3. With whom this information is shared:
Y-Change does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others, except as specified in this Privacy Policy. When you are at our site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information only with Y-Change and its customary business partners unless otherwise specifically stated. We may offer a service or promotion in conjunction with business partners, for example, a joint seminar or a product integration solution. In cases such as these, information collected may be shared by both companies.
We may partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact and billing 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. Y-Change is not responsible for, nor do we have any liability in connection with the control or use of the information by such third parties.
The other circumstance under which Y-Change may disclose your personal information to another party is when legally required to do so or when we believe, in good faith, that the law requires such a disclosure. For example, we will share such information if we have reason to believe that the information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be either causing injury to or interference with Y-Change's rights or property, or Y-Change customers or affiliates.
4. Your consent:
By using the Y-Change Web site, you consent to these terms of use and agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. export and re-export control laws and regulations. If you do not agree to these terms of use, please do not use Y-Change's Web site.
You further expressly agree that by using this Web site, your rights and obligations as well as Y-Change's rights and regulations shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
