UpClock Software Privacy Statement

Last Updated: 7/5/2006

At UpClock Software, we respect the privacy of our customers and the visitors to our website. This statement describes the current information gathering, sharing and privacy practices for our website, www.UpClock Software.com.

Collection of personal information

We will ask you when we need information that identifies you individually or allows us to contact you directly (personal information).

We may ask for personal information when you purchase a product, enter a contest, request a service, complete a survey, subscribe to a newsletter, or engage in some other activity on our site. In connection with these activities, we may ask you for contact information such as your name, telephone number, and email address. We will request billing information such as credit card number and expiration date if you order products and services from us.

When you visit our website, we collect standard information about your hardware and software such as your IP addresses, browser type, operating system, pages visited on our site, referring and exit pages, and the dates and times of the visits.

This site visitation data is used to administer the site and provide general statistics regarding the use of UpClock Software.com. Site visitation data is never linked to your personal information, and we do not use it to identify you individually.

Navigating from within an UpClock Software product to UpClock Software.com using an option from the Help menu or a product-related link embedded in a dialog will transmit the product build number associated with that installation of the product. This information is not linked to personally identifiable information. It is only used to identify the need for updates and for aggregate analysis.

Use of personal information

We will not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for their promotional use without your permission.

We will use the personal information you give us to fulfill the services and provide the products you request from us. This may include billing for and shipping of products that you order, sending information that you have requested, or contacting you about products and services that you have purchased. If you do not opt-out of communications from UpClock Software, we may send you marketing notices including promotions of our products and services. You can opt-out of communications from UpClock Software at any time (see control of personal information below).

We sometimes contract with other companies to provide services such as packaging and mailing products, answering user questions, or processing credit card transactions. We will only provide these partners with the information they need to conduct their services, and they will be prohibited from using the information we provide for any other purpose.

We may disclose your personal information when we reasonably believe that it is required by a law or legal process and to protect and defend the rights and interests of the company, its affiliates, suppliers, or users. In the event the Company goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Notifications of such a transition will be made using the mechanisms described in the Changes to this statement section.

Control of personal information

You can confirm, change, or update personal information you have provided to us by contacting us directly at support@upclock.com with your request.

If you want to opt-out of communications from the company, you can do so by emailing your request to support@upclock.com. If you change your mind, you can opt-in again, by emailing this same address. When you opt-out of promotional communications from us, you may still receive service messages (such as an order confirmation), legally mandated notices, and critical messages that relate to the ability to use software or services you have purchased from us.

Security of the information we collect

We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information, and we use a range of technologies and procedures to protect your personal information. For example, we store personal information in a secure, limited access facility; sensitive information transmitted to us through our store (such as a credit card number) is encrypted for transmission using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol; and we do not save credit card numbers on our servers after orders are processed.

Protection of children's privacy

UpClock Software.com is a general interest website, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you are under 18, you must be accompanied by an adult to purchase products from UpClock Software.com.
