Privacy Statement
Skywood Systems respects your privacy and is committed to protect the personal
information that you share with us. Generally, you can browse through our website
without giving us any information about yourself. When we do need your personal
information to provide services that you request or when you choose to provide
us with your personal information, this policy describes how we collect and
use your personal information.
Information Collection
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an
individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email address,
a home, postal or other physical address, other contact information, title,
birth date, gender, occupation, industry, personal interests, other information
when needed to provide a service you requested.
When you browse our website, you do so anonymously, unless you have previously
indicated that you wish Skywood Systems to remember your login and password.
We don't automatically collect personal information, including your email address.
We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us
an idea of which part of our website you visit and how long you spend there.
But we do not link your IP address to any personal information unless you have
logged in to our website. Like many other commercial websites, the Skywood
Systems website may use a standard technology called a "cookie" to
collect information about how you use the site. Please go to "Cookies
and Tracking Information" below for more information.
Skywood Systems collects personal information when you register with Skywood
Systems for a Skywood Systems account, when you use certain Skywood Systems
products or services, when you register to attend a seminar or participate
in an online survey, when you ask to be included in an email or other mailing
list, or you submit an entry for a sweepstakes or other promotions, or when
you submit your personal information to Skywood Systems for any other reason.
From time to time, Skywood Systems receives personal information from business
partners and vendors. Skywood Systems only uses such information if it has
been collected in accordance with acceptable privacy practices consistent with
this Policy and applicable laws.
Access to certain Skywood Systems web pages require a login and a password.
The use of those web pages, and the information or programs downloadable from
those sites, may be governed by a written agreement between your employer and
Skywood Systems. Unless you request deletion of your personal information as
specified below, your personal information may be retained by Skywood Systems
to verify compliance with the agreement, log software licenses granted, to
track software downloaded from those pages, or track usage of other applications
available on those pages.
Notice
When personal information is collected, we will inform you at the point of
collection the purpose for the collection. Skywood Systems will not transfer
your personal information to third parties without your consent, except under
the limited conditions described under the discussion entitled "Information
Sharing and Disclosure" below.
If you choose to provide us with your personal information, we may only transfer
that information, within Skywood Systems or to Skywood Systems's third party
service providers with your permission. Upon receiving your permission, we
may transfer your information across borders and from your country or jurisdiction
to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.
We will always give you the opportunity to "opt out" of receiving
direct marketing or market research information. This means we assume you have
given us your consent to collect and use your information in accordance with
this Policy unless you take affirmative action to indicate that you do not
consent, for instance by clicking or checking the appropriate option or box
at the point of collection. In some cases, when applicable, we will provide
you with the opportunity to "opt in." This means we will require
your affirmative action to indicate your consent before we use your information
for purposes other than the purpose for which it was submitted.
Cookies and Tracking Technology
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive
when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user
ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only personal
information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie
can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other
sites. Some parts of Skywood Systems's website use cookies to track user
traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our
website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational
structure is in helping users reach that information.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set
your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when
your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by
turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full
advantage of Skywood Systems's website if you do so. In particular, you may
be required to accept cookies in order to complete certain actions on our website.
You do not need to have cookies turned on, however, to use/navigate through
many parts of our website, except access to certain of Skywood Systems's web
pages may require a login and password.
How We Use Information Collected
Skywood Systems uses information for several general purposes: to fulfill your
requests for certain products and services, to personalize your experience
on our website, to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements,
software updates, special offers or other information we think you'd like
to hear about either from us or from our business partners, and to better
understand your needs and provide you with better services. We may also use
your information to send you, or to have our business partners send you,
direct marketing information or contact you for market research.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Because Skywood Systems is a global company, your personal information may
be shared with other Skywood Systems offices or subsidiaries around the world.
All such entities are governed by this Privacy Policy or are bound by the
appropriate confidentiality and data transfer agreements.
Your personal information is never shared outside Skywood Systems without
your permission, except under conditions explained below. Inside Skywood Systems,
data is stored in controlled servers with limited access. Your information
may be stored and processed in the United Kingdom or any other country where
Skywood Systems, its subsidiaries, affiliates or agents are located.
Skywood Systems may send your personal information to other companies or people
under any of the following circumstances: when we have your consent to share
the information; we need to share your information to provide the product or
service you have requested; we need to send the information to companies who
work on behalf of Skywood Systems to provide a product or service to you (we
will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the
service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other
purpose); or we want to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements,
software updates, special offers or other information we think you'd like to
hear about either from us or from our business partners (unless you have opted
out of these types of communications). We will also disclose your personal
information if required to do so by law, to enforce our Terms of Use, or in
urgent circumstances, to protect personal safety, the public or our websites.
Your Ability to Review and Delete Your Account and Information
If you are a registered user you may request deletion of your Skywood Systems
account or any of your personal information held by us by sending an email
to privacy@miriax.net
Data Security
Your Skywood Systems account information is password-protected for your privacy
and security. Skywood Systems safeguards the security of the data you send
us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. In certain areas
of our websites, Skywood Systems uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to
enhance the security of data transmissions. While we strive to protect your
personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you
transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to protect your
personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often,
use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure
browser.
Children and Privacy
Our websites do not target and are not intended to attract children under the
age of 13. Skywood Systems does not knowingly solicit personal information
from children under the age of 13 or send them requests for personal information.
Third Party Sites
Skywood Systems's website contains links to other sites. Skywood Systems does
not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible
for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy
policies of those companies.
Our website may contain links to websites operated by other companies. Some
of these third-party sites may be co-branded with a Skywood Systems logo, even
though they are not operated or maintained by Skywood Systems. Although we
choose our business partners carefully, Skywood Systems is not responsible
for the privacy practices of web sites operated by third parties that are linked
to our site. Once you have left our website, you should check the applicable
privacy policy of the third party website to determine how they will handle
any information they collect from you.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Skywood Systems will amend this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial
changes in the way we use your personal information we will make that information
available by posting a notice on this site.
