Information Collection
Peer Software deems privacy a central issue of Internet use. Peer Software attempts
to have reasonable measures in place to assure the anonymity of visitors to our
web site. Peer Software feels as part of responsible disclosure that our web site
users are made aware of what information is being logged. To maintain and improve
site quality and integrity, IP addresses are logged (the Internet Protocol addresses
of computers). This log is a standard method of reporting to statistically find
out which parts of our web site are visited and how long visitors spend there. We
also log the type of browser and operating system you are using. We do not link
IP addresses to personally identifiable information. Like many other commercial
web sites, the Peer Software web site may use a standard technology called a "cookie"
to collect information about how you use the site. Cookies were originally designed
to help a web site distinguish a user's browser as a previous visitor and thus save
and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing
the site. A cookie is a small string of text that a web site can send to your browser.
A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses,
or capture your e-mail address. Currently, web sites use cookies to enhance the
user's visit; in general, cookies can securely store a user's ID and password, personalize
home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited or keep track of selections
in a "shopping cart." It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie
is being placed - this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept
or not accept the cookie. At times we may request that you voluntarily supply us
with personal information, such as your e-mail address, for purposes such as corresponding
with us, registering at a site, making a purchase, entering a sweepstakes, registering
a new product, or participating in an online survey.
Information Use
When you supply Peer Software with your personal information, we may use the information
to learn more about you so that we can develop better products and services or use
the information, sharing it with our business partners, to inform you about new
products, services and offers that may be of interest to you.
Declining E-mail Offers
Although most customers tell us they appreciate receiving notice of these opportunities,
we recognize the importance of providing you with choices. At any time after receiving
an e-mail offer from Peer Software, you may request to discontinue receiving these
offers. All e-mail offers that you receive from Peer Software will tell you how
to decline further e-mail offers. Our partners may have different policies.
Children
While Peer Software's product ad campaigns and marketing materials may be viewed
by children; we do not wish to receive data from children. Peer Software encourages
parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate
in the interactive activities offered on the sites their children visit. No information
should be submitted to, or posted at, Peer Software's web site by visitors under
18 years of age without the consent of their parent or guardian. Peer Software Inc.'s
privacy statement is subject to change at any time and without notice.
