Emprise Corporation is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please read the following policy to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make full use of the Emprise Corporation site. This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically.
This policy will let you know:
What personally identifiable information is collected from you.
The Emprise Corporation website collects information in several different ways for different parts of our website. Some personal information is gathered when you register to use our support forums. During registration, we ask for your name and email address. The system will also ask for additional contact information such as your location, URL of your website, interests, and online messaging service ID numbers, although only fields that are marked with an asterisk (*) on the registration form are required. More information on how this information is used is available on the forum registration page. In addition to forum registration we may ask you for personal information such as name and email address at other times, including (but not limited to) when your request for the download of certain files from our downloads area. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
What cookies are and how they are used.
As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, the Emprise Corporation website may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Several features of the Emprise Corporation website require that you accept cookies in order to work properly. (See "What choices are available to you regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information" for more information on cookies.)
Generally, we use cookies for the following purposes:
To identify and label all "new" posts since your last visit to the support forums section. Optionally to permanently save your download registration information on your computer so you don't have to re-enter it each time you want to download a file from our site. The Emprise Corporation website may also collect IP addresses for system administration.
How your information is used.
The primary goal of the Emprise Corporation website in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience and to assist your navigation throughout the site.
Who is collecting your information.
When you are asked for personal information on the Emprise Corporation website, you are sharing that information with Emprise Corporation alone, unless specifically stated otherwise. However, some activities will, by their very nature, result in your personal information being revealed to other users of the Emprise Corporation website. For example, when you enter personal information in the support forums, this information will generally be available to other forum users.
With whom your information may be shared.
As a general rule, Emprise will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. Please see the Terms of Service or Use Agreements for each of our products and services for more detailed information about how your personal information may be shared. Emprise Corporation may disclose registration information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating the Terms of Service or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights or property of other users or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. Emprise Corporation may disclose or access registration information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
What choices are available to you regarding collection, use, and distribution on your information.
If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of the Emprise Corporation website, but you will not be able to access areas or use features that require registration.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services of the Emprise Corporation website that require registration in order to participate.
Emprise Corporation does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data will be shared with a third party and you will always have the option of not permitting the transfer. If you do not wish to allow your data to be shared, you can choose not to use a particular service.
How you can access, update, and delete your information.
We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may edit or delete your user profile at any time by clicking on the "Profile" link or graphic provided by the system once you are logged in to the support forums.
Your support forum account can be deleted, but doing so will result in not being able to access any of the features of the program that require user registration.
The kind of security precautions that are in place to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information.
Other than the administrator of the Emprise Corporation website or other authorized personnel, you are the only person who has access to your personal information. Your user registration is password-protected to prevent unauthorized access.
We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Emprise Corporation will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. As an extra security precaution, you may want to logoff once you have completed a session in the support forums. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we can neither ensure or nor warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
How your children's privacy is protected.
When you are asked for personal information on the Emprise Corporation website, you are sharing that information with Emprise Corporation alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. However, some activities will, by their very nature, result in your personal information being revealed to other users of the Emprise Corporation website. For example, when you enter personal information in the support forums, this information will generally be available to other forum users.
What else you should know about your online privacy.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example in listings that you post or through email - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
