You can visit most pages on our site without giving us any
information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information
to provide services that you request, and this privacy statement
explains data collection and use in those situations. Please
read the following policy to understand how your personal information
will be treated at this site.
Collection of your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies
you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally,
this information is requested when you are downloading trial
versions, product updates and literature; or ordering e-mail
newsletters, signing up for an event or training, or when purchasing
and/or registering Xcitex products over the internet. Personal
information collected by Xcitex, Inc. often is limited to name,
e-mail address, oganization name, country or location, but may
include other information when needed to provide a service you
requested.
When you buy, rent and install a new product, we may ask you
to register your purchase electronically at our Product
Registration page. We keep this registration information
on file with any information you have already given us on previous
visits to our Web site.
Xcitex, Inc. also collects certain information about your computer
hardware and software. Some of our security and licensing systems
tie software to specific computer hardware. This information
may include specific information about the hardware that is installed
in your computer (e.g. hard drive size, video memory, processor
type, etc.), your IP address, browser type, operating system,
domain name, access times and referring Web site addresses. If
you select one of our licensing options that involves tying software
to a specific computer, the Xcitex license manager will tell
you that it is collecting information about your computer architecture
in order to generate a unique registration code.
Xcitex, Inc. also collects information about which pages our
customers visit within Xcitex, Inc. This site visitation data
is identified only by a unique ID number, and it is never linked
with personal information unless a user provides consent.

or upgrades.

distributors.

so request.

To allow you access to limited-entry areas of our site

Xcitex may disclose your personal information 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 Xcitex or the site; (b) protect
and defend the rights or property of Xcitex and its family
of Web sites, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect
the personal safety of Xcitex employees, users of Xcitex products
or services, or members of the public.

already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated
above.
