Updated February 3, 2014
Your privacy is important to us. When you provide information to us via our website, we protect it according to this policy.
Information We Collect Online
OpCenter collects only voluntarily provided information from users browsing this website (OpCenter.com) or any other OpCenter website, unless another privacy policy is provided on that website. Our website logs do not identify users and we make no attempt to link them with the users who actually browse our website.
We collect various data at certain registration or subscription locations on our website. This data may be used to enhance your visit, to assist with technical support issues, to deliver product announcements, or to provide follow-up information after your visit. We also collect other information you send to us, including forum postings and email messages.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
Mollom
This website uses Mollom, a web service provided by Mollom BVBA. Mollom analyzes messages posted to this website in an attempt to determine whether the messages are unsolicited (“spam”). Websites that allow visitors to contribute or post comments (such as blogs, discussion forums and wikis) are frequently flooded with inappropriate commercial messages. Mollom screens messages before they are posted to this website. By posting a message or submitting a form on this website, you accept that your message and other personal details will be analyzed and stored for anti-spam and quality monitoring purposes, in accordance with Mollom’s privacy policy.
Use or Disclosure of Information
OpCenter maintains several email lists to keep interested parties informed about our company, events, products, support and more. Users may voluntarily request to join our mailing lists by signing up or opting in through a form on our website. We do not sell the addresses on our list, but we may share information with specific business partners. To be removed from an OpCenter email list, follow the “unsubscribe” instructions on emails from OpCenter.
When you choose to submit personal information to OpCenter, OpCenter and its affiliates may transfer, process and store the information in countries in which OpCenter and its affiliates maintain offices, including the United States. The United States does not regulate data protection in the same manner as other countries, including the Member States of the European Union. Accordingly, the personal data that you submit to OpCenter may be transferred to, processed, or stored in countries where the data protection laws are different than those of your country of residence.
We may disclose any material posted to public areas of our website, but otherwise, except as stated above, we will not share or disclose information except in the following cases: we may disclose any information to protect our rights or property, to enforce our terms of use and legal notices, or as required or permitted by operation of law or the request of government regulators or other law enforcement officials and the courts (including the issuance of a valid subpoena). We shall have no duty to notify you of such compliance with the law.
Access to Information
You can update your contact information by sending a message to privacy@opcenter.com. We may keep all information in an off-line form, for archival purposes or as otherwise required by law. Please note that if your information is removed from our databases, you may no longer be able to access certain areas of our website requiring registration or a subscription.
Cookies and Other Issues
“Cookies” are small data files sent to your browser and stored on your hard drive. We use cookies to offer customized services and to collect information on Internet usage. For example, a cookie can remember your password for logon procedures, maintain a “stateful session” with a server, or store encrypted form data in order to simplify future form submissions. Using your browser’s tools or options, you can choose never to accept cookies or to be notified when a cookie is sent so that you can reject them some of the time. Note that cookies may help you navigate the site, particularly on return visits. If you choose not to accept cookies, you may not be able to find what you want on the site most easily.
Some areas of our website are password protected, or require that you license OpCenter products or join one of our programs. In other select areas of our website we may request that you provide us with basic information before accessing that area. If you choose not to register and not to provide this information, you can still use most of our website. However, you will not be able to access the areas that require registration.
Please note that anything that you post on any forum or any similar environment on our website is not protected. We assume no responsibility for these environments or the information revealed in them. Note that certain links on our website will redirect you to websites operated by third parties. OpCenter will have no control over the information you enter or the cookies your browser accepts while on third parties’ sites. You should examine the terms of service and privacy policies of other websites whenever you leave OpCenter’s website.
Security
OpCenter will make reasonable efforts to use the latest appropriate security technologies to ensure that the information its users provide is secure. However, OpCenter would like to remind its users that the Internet is not a secure environment and technology is no substitute for common sense. For this reason, we strongly encourage each user to keep login names and passwords secret and to change passwords when they may have become compromised. Furthermore, we recommend that our users communicate over secure channels wherever possible, disable the automatic login features found in some browsers, and empty their browser caches regularly. See Tools or Options on your browser’s menu.
Updates and Contact
We periodically update the features of our website to better serve you and all of our customers, so this policy may also be updated from time to time. OpCenter may modify this policy without advance notice and any modifications are effective when they are posted here. By using our website, you indicate your understanding and acceptance of the terms of the policy posted at the time of your use.
If you have any questions, please contact us by sending a message to privacy@opcenter.com.
