PRIVACY POLICY

Effective since 01.12.2008

This privacy policy pertains to the use of FCA Software.net owned by FCA Software Caministeanu e.K. (“FCA Software”) and covers how FCA Software treats the personal information that it collects through this Site. FCA Software is the sole owner of the information collected on the FCA Software.net Site. FCA Software does not rent, sell or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personal information. Transferring information does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

By visiting FCA Software.net, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. INFORMATION COLLECTED

FCA Software automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, cookies, clear gifts, and the page you request. This is the normal website behavior.

1.1. IP Addresses

FCA Software uses IP Addresses for analyze purposes (trends, demographics, etc.). IP Addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

1.2. Cookies

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are sent to your browser from a web site and are stored on your computer's hard drive. If you prefer, you can configure your browser either to accept all cookies, or to reject them all. You can also configure your browser to warn you each time a cookie is being sent. If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use FCA Software.net products or services that require you to “Sign in” and you may not be able to take full advantage of all its services. You may, however, visit FCA Software.net Site anonymously.

1.3. Clear Gifs

Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. The main difference between the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear gifs are not tied to users' personally identifiable information.

Clear gifts help us to manage better the content of our site by informing us what content is effective.

1.4. Registration

Some of FCA Software’s sites, also FCA Software.net, restrict access to online content. To gain entry, you, as user, must first fill in a registration form. During registration you are required to give your contact information, such as name and e-mail address. For sites where online access to content is part of a subscription package, registration forms will often contain full subscriber details used to identify and fulfill that subscriber's account.

1.5. E-mail alerts

If you wish to subscribe to our alerts, updates, briefings etc., we ask you for contact and delivery information such as name and e-mail address. These e-mail lists provide opt out facilities online. In some cases, you may be asked to provide optional demographic and personal interest information that is used to keep for you our content as relevant as possible.

1.6. Sharing your Data

FCA Software will share demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. FCA Software also shares information when using an outside shipping company to ship orders or a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services.

1.7. Orders

We also request information from you on our order forms. Here you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fulfill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with you. All online transactions are processed using SSL.

1.8. Surveys & Contests

From time to time FCA Software’s sites request information from users via surveys or contests. Your participation to these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and therefore you have the choice whether or not to disclose your personal information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and e-mail address), and demographic information (such as zip code and age level).

Contact information will be used to notify the winners about the award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of FCA Software.net Site.

1.9. Third party links

At its discretion, FCA Software may include or offer third party products or services on our website. These third party sites have separate privacy policies. We have no responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of these third party sites. Please take a moment to review the Privacy Policies used by these sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

These third-party Web sites and advertisers, or Internet advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to send (or "serve") the advertisements that appear on our Web site directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, and other technologies (such as clear gifts) to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party Web sites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.

2. USAGE OF THE COLLECTED INFORMATION

FCA Software uses the information that you provide for such purposes as communicating with you, responding to your requests, customizing your shopping experience with FCA Software.net, and improving our sites.

IP addresses can be used for various purposes like to diagnose or service technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific web company or ISP; to estimate the total number of users visiting FCA Software.net from specific geographical regions; to make sure that people are not abusing the voting or submission systems.

FCA Software uses its own cookies for purposes including accessing your information when you "sign in", keeping track of preferences you specify while you are using FCA Software.net services, displaying the most appropriate advertising banners, based on your interests and activity on FCA Software.net, estimating and reporting our total audience size and traffic.

FCA Software uses clear gifs in our HTML-based e-mails to let us know which e-mails have been opened by the recipients. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of the marketing campaigns. All of our e-mail newsletters provide the facility to opt-out.

FCA Software uses the information collected from you for:

• personalizing your experience (your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs);
• processing transactions;
• administering a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature;
• sending you periodic emails (if you decide to opt-in to our mailing list, you will receive emails that may include company news, updates, related product or service information, etc.). If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
• improving our website (we improve our website offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you);
• improving our customer service (your information helps us to respond more effectively to your customer service requests and support needs).

New members receive a welcome e-mail to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Where this is the case, we present the option to not receive these types of communications at the point of sign up.

3. PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION

FCA Software implements on its sites (including this one) a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you register, log-in, and place an order on FCA Software.net.

FCA Software offers the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database, only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers. We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

4. INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE

If you post information, your FCA Software.net ID or alias that you use to log-in is visible to other users.

If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

FCA Software does not share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies without your consent.

Exception to the above is the case when it may be necessary to share information in order to protect the rights, property, or safety of FCA Software.net, our users, or others; to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities, including without limitation, fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of FCA Software’s Terms of Use , or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

We will transfer information about you if FCA Software is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, FCA Software will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the FCA Software.net web site before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

With your consent, other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
