We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That
is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy
lets you know how your personal information is processed and
explains data collection and use practices for the ESOFT Network.
The "ESOFT Network" includes all Web pages, newsletters,
discussion forums and lists and opt-in announcement lists owned
and operated by ESOFT Computer Studies (Pvt) Ltd and each of
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. By accessing the ESOFT Network,
you are consenting to the information collection and use practices
described in this Privacy Policy.
We promise that we will use your personal information only
in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy as follows
What information are you collecting and how are you collecting
it?
IP Addresses: Every computer connected to the Internet is
given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that
computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address. When
a visitor requests a page from any Web site within the ESOFT
Network, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's
domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address
reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address
from which you have accessed our Sites. We use this information
to examine our traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse
of the ESOFT Network, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement.
We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific
individuals. Our Web servers do not automatically record e-mail
addresses of the visitors.
Cookies: From time to time, ESOFT or its advertisers may send
a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a small
piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a
Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie
can't read data off of your computer hard disk or read cookie
files created by other Web sites. Cookies do not damage your
system. We use cookies to identify which areas of ESOFT's Network
you have visited or customized, so the next time you visit,
those pages may be readily accessible. Our advertisers may
also use cookies to ascertain how many times you've seen an
advertisement. Our advertisers and we may use this information
to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions
that you see on our Site. You can choose whether to accept
cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser.
You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow
your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you
choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our
Site and other Web sites may be diminished and some features
may not work as intended.
What personal information do you collect?
Wherever ESOFT collects personal information we make an effort
to include a link to this Privacy Policy. We will ask you
when we need information that personally identifies you (personal
information) or allows us to contact you. The personal information
we collect may include your name, title, company or organization
name, e-mail address, phone number, work or home address,
information about your job function, information about your
company, and credit card information.
We may request your e-mail address or mailing address for
the purposes of conducting a contest or to provide additional
services (for example, subscriptions to announcement lists
or information about conferences and trade shows). Participation
in contests or other promotions on the ESOFT Network is completely
voluntary and you have a choice whether or not to disclose
personal information. Information requested may include contact
information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic
information (such as zip code). Contact information will be
used to notify the winners and award prizes.
If you are purchasing something on the ESOFT Network, we,
and any third party provider, need to know your name, e-mail
address, mailing address, credit card number and expiration
date. This allows us, or third party providers, to process
and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status.
Credit card and e-mail information will not be shared or sold
to third parties for any purpose except as provided in this
Privacy Policy without your express permission.
ESOFT also offers access to some services that require registration.
We may use your registration contact information to send notification
to you of products and services by e-mail and/or postal mail.
We may share that information with our clients and they may
also send you promotional materials. We may also use your
IP address internally and share it with third parties.
When you sign up for a ESOFT e-mail newsletter, you are given
the opportunity to sign up for targeted third-party mailings.
Whether or not you want to receive these announcements is
your choice. If you choose to receive an announcement from
a specific distribution list, you will receive commercial
messages from independent third parties that have contracted
with ESOFT to send messages to the list. You may stop the
arrival of these announcement lists at any time by removing
your e-mail address from the list by forwarding the announcement
list to stop@esoft.lk or by following the instructions on
the e-mails you receive.
When you sign up for a ESOFT discussion forum, your name or
alias is recorded solely for purposes of maintaining your
own account within the forums. This information is not used
to monitor your activity within a forum, nor is it used to
identify you outside the ESOFT network.
When you use co-branded services, or those provided by a
third party, within the ESOFT Network, your information may
be passed to the co-brand or third party provider and their
use of your information is subject to their applicable privacy
policies.
We may from time to time send e-mail announcing new products
and services. If you choose to supply your postal address
in an online form, you may receive postal mailings from ESOFT
or third party companies
Your Consent To This Agreement
By using the ESOFT Network, you consent to the collection
and use of information by ESOFT as specified above. We reserve
the right to modify this Policy. If we decide to change our
Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page so
that you are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
