1. Can you tell me about the Privacy Rules & Practices regarding personal information on SoftNoze websites?
Yes, regarding Personal Information... normally, you can visit SoftNoze websites without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. However, there are times when we may request information from you. Also, some website functions may require you to complete a registration form. Most information requested will relate to the company that you work for or represent. However, sometimes we may request information specifically about you. We may ask you to voluntarily provide us with demographic information for market research, as well as information about your interests and experiences with our products or that of your company or employer. Occasionally, we may share provided information and e-mail addresses with our affiliates and other reputable organizations whose products or services we think you may find interesting. We also may ask you to voluntarily provide us with personal information for purposes of registering attendance at a SoftNoze sponsored event. That information may both be solicited and retained by SoftNoze directly or by third parties utilized by SoftNoze for that purpose. Information also may be collected by way of "cookies" created when accessing our site. Please read the section on "cookies" for further information below.
