Online Privacy Policy |
|
AEC Software is committed to protecting the privacy of its customers, and we have taken strong measures to ensure that the information we gather from you will be secure and confidential. We hope the following information will help you understand how AEC Software collects, uses, and safeguards the personal information you provide on our website.
Collection of personal information
Visiting the AEC Software site does not require you to provide personal information about yourself. While IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer), browser type, and browser version are logged to track a user's session, the user remains anonymous. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. No other information is collected through our website unless you decide to become a registered member or conduct an online transaction.
When you engage in certain activities on our site such as downloading
demo versions, downloading product updates, registering a product,
entering contests, or purchasing a product from our online store, you
may be asked to provide personal information by completing and submitting
online forms. We do not share, sell, rent, or exchange personal information
with third parties.
When you purchase products from aecsoftware.com, we collect shipping
and billing addresses, and credit card information. Any time we ask for
a credit card number, we transmit that credit card number in an encrypted
format using industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. For
more information about security see our Security
Statement.
Use of personal information
In some instances such as product registration, purchases, contests,
or through your use of certain online transactions, there is information
that we are required to collect to enable us to process your request.
We will not share, sell, rent, or exchange personal information
with third parties without your consent. We use personally identifiable
information to better serve you when you purchase or download products.
The information that you provide is also used as part of our effort to
keep you informed about product upgrades, product updates, special offers,
and other AEC Software products and services.
If necessary, AEC Software may disclose user information if we have
reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to
identify, contact, or bring legal action against an individual who
attempts, even unintentionally, to gain unauthorized access to AEC
Software information or to disrupt our web site.
When we record such information about your session or about you
we may use it for internal research or to improve our site and the services
we offer you. AEC Software may occasionally present a special contest or
promotion that may be sponsored by another company. To qualify for entry,
we may ask you to provide personal information. If we plan to share that
information with other contest sponsor(s), we will provide a statement
to that effect.
Protection of your personal information
We intend to protect the quality and integrity of your personal information.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures,
such as using encryption for transmission of credit card numbers and
personal information, to help us keep your information secure, accurate,
current, and complete. For more information about security, see our
Security Statement.
Your choices with respect to personal information
AEC Software recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible
use of information collected on this site. If you do not
want the information you provide to AEC Software to be used to inform you
of other products, services, upgrades, free updates and special offers
available from AEC Software, and you indicate this preference when you
provide your personal information, we will honor your preference.
AEC Software provides a number of ways for you
to "opt-out" of
receiving additional information from us. If
you do not wish to receive our email bulletins you can opt-out of receiving
these communications by using our email
