PRIVACY POLICY
-
All "personal information" ("personal information" is defined as any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains) that we collect and maintain will be subject to the version of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of such collection. MANAGING SOFTWARE reserves the right to change the Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion, and will provide notice of material changes on the home page of the Website. If as the result of such changes, you want to alter the ways in which MANAGING SOFTWARE is allowed to use your personal information, you can do so by following the procedure described below in the section titled "Updating your personal information and privacy preferences." You will be deemed to have been made aware of, and will be subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy by your continued use of the Website after such notice has been posted for thirty (30) days with the following exception: If at the time you provide personal information to MANAGING SOFTWARE you are given the opportunity (as you currently are) to limit how such information will be used to communicate with you, either by MANAGING SOFTWARE or by third parties, MANAGING SOFTWARE will not change your preference in this regard without your express consent. However, if MANAGING SOFTWARE sells assets (or the assets of a division or subsidiary) to another entity, or MANAGING SOFTWARE (or a division or subsidiary) is acquired by, or merged with, another entity, MANAGING SOFTWARE may provide to such entity customer information that is related to that part of our business that was sold to or merged with the other entity without your consent.

Collection of personal information
As a visitor to this Website, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as subscribing to the collaboration services offered on the Website or utilizing online software applications, MANAGING SOFTWARE may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, MANAGING SOFTWARE may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including ZIP code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal information. When ordering products or services on the Website, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
When you use the Website, MANAGING SOFTWARE or third parties authorized by MANAGING SOFTWARE may also collect certain technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Website and its services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of the Website and its services. MANAGING SOFTWARE also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Website. Without expressly informing you in each particular circumstance, we do not match such information with any of your personal information.
When you submit personal information to MANAGING SOFTWARE through this Website, you understand and agree that this information may be transferred across national boundaries and may be stored and processed in any of the countries in which MANAGING SOFTWARE and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain offices, including, without limitation, the United States. You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities, the collection, transferring, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted vendors of MANAGING SOFTWARE. Such vendors are bound by contract not to use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties. One instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed pages in which the URL for the pages is not visible and the pages are being hosted by a vendor of MANAGING SOFTWARE.
MANAGING SOFTWARE has established relationships with various service providers whose services are available to you from this Website or from Websites that are linked to this Website. Typically, these providers offer services that MANAGING SOFTWARE customers might find useful, such as those that can be used in conjunction with MANAGING SOFTWARE services and products. In order to use those services, you may be required to provide personal information to the providers. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, personal information that you provide while you are visiting a provider's Website will be subject to the privacy policy posted on such site, and personal information that you provide while on this Website in conjunction with a provider's service will be subject to this Privacy Policy. You should be aware that our agreements with these service providers often provide that they will share with MANAGING SOFTWARE personal information collected from you. In such instances, MANAGING SOFTWARE may use this information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. In the situation where sites have an MANAGING SOFTWARE "look and feel," and you reasonably believe you are on an MANAGING SOFTWARE site, the site is collecting information in a solely intermediary capacity and does not use personal information for secondary purposes.

How your personal information is used
MANAGING SOFTWARE collects your information in order to record and support your participation in the activities you select. If you subscribe to a service or register a product, for example, the information is used to register your rights, if any, to technical support or other benefits that may be made available to registered users. As another example, if you enter a contest, information is collected to qualify the entry and contact you regarding the contest or prize awards. Your personal information is also used to keep you informed about product upgrades, special offers, and other products and services of MANAGING SOFTWARE and selected third parties if you have so opted to receive such communications.
MANAGING SOFTWARE may collect information about the use of the Website, such as the types of services used and how many users we receive daily. This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually. MANAGING SOFTWARE may use this aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing, or similar promotional purposes.

Your choices with respect to personal information
MANAGING SOFTWARE recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information collected on this Website. Without your consent, MANAGING SOFTWARE will not communicate any information to you regarding products, services, and special offers available from MANAGING SOFTWARE, although we may find it necessary to communicate with you regarding your use of the services on this Website. Except in the particular circumstances described in this Privacy Policy, MANAGING SOFTWARE will also not provide your name to other companies or organizations without your consent.
There are other instances in which MANAGING SOFTWARE may divulge your personal information. MANAGING SOFTWARE may provide your personal information if necessary, in MANAGING SOFTWARE's good faith judgment, to comply with laws or regulations of a governmental or regulatory body or in response to a valid subpoena, warrant, or order or to protect the rights of MANAGING SOFTWARE or others.

Protection of your personal information
The personal information that you provide in connection with registering yourself as a user of MANAGING SOFTWARE products or services or registering an MANAGING SOFTWARE product is classified as Registration Information. Registration Information is protected in several ways. Access by you to your Registration Information is available through a password and unique customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. In addition, your Registration Information resides on a secure server that only selected MANAGING SOFTWARE personnel and contractors have access to via password. MANAGING SOFTWARE encrypts your personal information and thereby strives to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to MANAGING SOFTWARE.
Personal information that you provide that does not constitute Registration Information also resides on a secure server and is only accessible to selected MANAGING SOFTWARE personnel and contractors via password. Since this information is not accessible by you, you will not be asked to select a password in order to view or modify such information.

When you visit this Website, you can browse the Website and access important information without revealing your identity. In order to improve our Website, we use "cookies" to track your visit. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a Web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card, and enables MANAGING SOFTWARE to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. (For some Web pages that require an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.)
While MANAGING SOFTWARE uses cookies to track your visit to MANAGINGSOFTWARE.COM, and our Web servers automatically log the IP/Internet address of your computer, MANAGING SOFTWARE does not generally use this information to identify you personally. However, if you expressly provide consent for MANAGINGSOFTWARE.COM to "remember" the unique identifier that you select when you register for various activities on the site, that unique identifier will be stored on a cookie on your computer, linked to your registration information, and your navigation path around the site will be tracked. We associate this data to understand how our site and services are being used so we can understand our customers and offer appropriate products and services.
