Information We Collect

 

Personal information is information that identifies an individual or is directly associated with a specific person, such as a customer’s name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, credit card number, or information about activities which can be directly linked to that person, such as his or her purchases. In our web site, we do not require you providing any of your personal information. We only collect your email address if you explicitly choose to receive information from us and give us your email address. 

 

We do collect several types of information specific to you to maintain your membership account.

When registering as a member to our service, we will ask you to select a Log-in Name and Password. We recommend that you do not divulge your Password to anyone. We will never ask you for your Password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Also, remember to log off and close your browser window when you have finished using the service.

 

In case you forget your Log-in Name, you can choose to provide a Log-in Prompt, which is used to remind you of your Log-in Name. When you log-in later, you can type the Log-in Prompt in, the server will display all the possible Log-in Names. You can choose yours from them.

 

In case you forget your password, you can choose to provide a Password Prompt, which is used to remind you of your password. When you log-in later, you can input your Log-in Name first and then ask for the Password Prompt, the server will display your Password Prompt for your Log-in Name. Then you should be able to remember your password.

We recommend that you carefully choose the prompts. It is your responsibility to ensure nobody else could relate the prompts to your Log-in Name and Password.

We will use the information to manage your account on our server. We will handle the information in any necessary ways related to our products, services and web sites. Internally, we will limit access to Personal Information to those persons who need the information to provide products and services to you or maintain or service those products or services.

Use of Non-Personal and Aggregate Information

 

Our definition of Personal Information does not include “aggregate” information. Aggregate information is statistical data about use of our products, services, or web sites, such as how many times one of our web pages was visited from a country. Aggregate information helps us understand trends and customer needs so that we can better consider new products and services, and tailor existing products and services to customer desires.

 

We may use non-personal and aggregate information to better design our products, services and web sites and share with our marketing and advertising agencies.

 

Laurelsoft shares Web site usage information about our users to our Web site with one or more reputable third-party advertising companies for the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of our online advertising initiatives. For this purpose, we and our third-party advertising companies note some of the pages on our web site through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs). We may also utilize Web beacons to do the similar things. The information collected by our third-party advertising companies through the use of these pixel tags and Web beacons is not personally identifiable.

 

We may collect IP addresses and/or click-stream data for market research, for purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information.

 

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. Our servers identify your computer by its IP address. When you request web pages from our Site, our servers log your IP address.

 

Click-stream data is information collected by our servers when you request pages from our Site. Click-stream data may include such information as the page served, the time, the source of the request, the type of browser making the request, the preceding page view, and other such Non-Personal Information. When analyzed, this data helps us analyze how visitors arrive at our Site, what type of content is most popular, what type of visitors in the aggregate are interested in particular kinds of content, and the like.

 

 

Use of Cookies

 

Laurelsoft’s web sites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our products or services and to help personalise your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

 

Our web sites use cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to enter the same information repeatedly and to display your personalised content on your later visits to these sites.

 

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may or may not be able to use our products or services. Most our products and services will work without using cookies.  

 

Children’s Privacy Protection 

 

Our web site is a general audience site that is not designed nor intended to collect Personal Information from children under the age of 18. In addition, no part of our web site is designed with the purpose of attracting any person under age 18. Children under the age of 18 should not provide any Personal Information on our web site. We ask that parents supervise their children while online.

 

Links to Other Web Sites

 

We might provide links to third-party sites to help our visitors, and that we are not responsible for the content or information collection practices of those sites. These sites are not under our control, even though they may use our name or logo on their site through an agreement with us.

 

These sites have their own privacy and information security policy and terms and conditions. We encourage you to review and understand their privacy policy before providing them with information.

 

 

Security

 

We exercise commercially reasonable care to protect your information and materials saved on our server. Once we receive your transmission, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your Personal Information.

 

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. So while we strive to protect information and materials, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us.

 

 

Privacy Policy Revisions

 

We will occasionally revise this privacy policy to reflect changes in our services and customer feedback. Any revisions will be published on our web site at least seven days prior to its effective date.
