Metrosharp.Net Statement of Privacy
This document was last updated January 2, 2006.
At Metrosharp, we are committed to protecting your privacy and to developing technology that gives you the most powerful and secure online experience. You can travel through most of our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains data collection and use in those situations. Please read the complete Metrosharp.Net privacy statement.
Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are asked to register before entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a limited-access premium site, or when purchasing and registering Metrosharp products. Personal information collected by Metrosharp.Net often is limited to e-mail address, language, country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.
For example: If you choose to make a purchase on our Web site, we will request personal information such as: name, address, telephone number, credit card number and shipping information.
When you buy and install a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically. When you do, we keep this registration information on file with any information you've already given us on previous visits to our Web site. This is considered your personal profile.
If you ever want to review or update your profile, simply visit the Profile Center and edit your personal information. We'll ask you to disclose your e-mail address and password so that only you can access your profile.
Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for four primary purposes:
  • To make the site easier for you to use by not making you enter your personal information more than once.
  • To help you quickly find software, services or information on Metrosharp.Net.
  • To help us create and deliver content most relevant to you.
  • To alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new services from Metrosharp.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Metrosharp will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Metrosharp or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Metrosharp and its family of Web sites, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Metrosharp, its Web sites, or the public.
Control of your Personal Information
When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, Metrosharp will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.
Registering also allows you to tell us how or whether you want Metrosharp.Net to communicate with you. After registering, go to the Profile Center and establish your preferences in the Contact Options sections. There, you can decide what information you want to receive and how you want to receive it. Or you can tell us not to contact you.
Metrosharp occasionally allows other companies to offer our registered customers information about their products and services, using postal mail only. If you do not want to receive these offers, you should uncheck the box in the Contact Options section in the Profile Center stating, "Metrosharp partners can send me postal mail about their services or products."
Metrosharp may send out periodic e-mails informing you of technical service issues related to a product or service you requested. You will not be able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are considered an essential part of the service you have chosen.
Access to your Personal Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may review and update this information at any time at the Profile Center. You can:
  • View and edit personal information you have already given us.
  • Tell us whether you want Metrosharp to send you marketing information.
  • Choose whether you want third parties to send you their offers by postal mail.
  • Subscribe or cancel subscriptions to newsletters about our services and products.
Security of your Personal Information
Metrosharp strictly protects the security of your personal information and honors your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Your personal information is never shared outside the company without your permission, except under conditions explained above. Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where Metrosharp, its subsidiaries, affiliates or agents are located.
You also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one can see or edit your personal information without knowing your email address and password, so do not share these with others.
