What
personally identifiable information is collected from you
AlstraSoft collects information in
several ways from different parts of our web site.
Some personal information is gathered
when you register for some of the demos of AlstraSoft software.
During registration, we ask for your name and email address. The system
will also ask for your street address, city, state/province, zip/postal
code, country, telephone number, and the URL of your web site, although
only fields that are marked with an asterisk (*) on the registration
field are required. This information is used solely to assist you in
navigating the system by automatically filling in certain forms with your information so that you don't have to
continually re-enter it. Once you register you are no longer anonymous
to AlstraSoft - you have a username and are able to take full
advantage of the many offerings of the demo programs.
In addition to registration we may ask
you for personal information at other times when using some features of
AlstarSoft software demos. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
Every page within this web site includes a link to this Privacy Policy.

to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small
amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored
on your computer's hard drive. Several features of this web site require
that you accept cookies in order to work properly.
Generally, we use cookies for the
following purposes:
(1) Technical
administration of the Web site
(2) Customer
administration
(3) Finding
problems with our website (technical or content related.)

site.

Who is
collecting your information
When you are asked for personal
information on this web site, you are sharing that information with
AlstraSoft alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. However,
some activities will, by their very nature, result in your personal
information being revealed to other users of the demo programs.

With
whom your information may be shared
As a general rule, AlstraSoft will
not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when
we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we
believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the
circumstances described below. Please see the Terms of Service or Use
Agreements for each of our products and services for more detailed
information about how your personal information may be shared.
AlstraSoft may disclose account
information in special cases when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring
legal action against someone who may be violating the Terms of Service
of the AlstraSoft or may be causing injury to or interference with
(either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights or property of the
AlstraSoft, other users of the AlstraSoft, or anyone else that
could be harmed by such activities. AlstraSoft may disclose or
access account information when we believe in good faith that the law
requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem
necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

What
choices are available to you regarding collection, use, and distribution
of your information
If you choose not to register or
provide personal information, you can still use most of the features of
AstraSoft software demos, but you will not be able to access areas
or use features that require registration.
You also have choices with respect to
cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to
accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject
all cookies.
The AlstraSoft does not sell or
rent user information to anyone. We will notify you at the time of data
collection or transfer if your data will be shared with a third party
and you will always have the option of not permitting the transfer. If
you do not wish to allow your data to be shared, you can choose not to
use a particular service.

The
kind of security precautions that are in place to protect the loss,
misuse, or alteration of your information
Other than the administrator of this
web site or other authorized personnel of the AlstraSoft, you are
the only person who has access to your personal information. Your user
registration is password-protected to prevent unauthorized access.
We recommend that you do not divulge
your password to anyone. AlstraSoft will never ask you for your
password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. As an
extra security precaution, you may want to logoff once you have
completed a session when using AlstraSoft software demos. This is to ensure
that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence
if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a
public place like a library or Internet cafe.
Unfortunately, no data transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personal information, AlstraSoft
cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to
us or from our online services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we
receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its
security on our systems.

How
AlstraSoft protects children's privacy
AlstraSoft is a general audience
web site. Children should always ask a parent for permission before
sending personal information to anyone online. AlstraSoft does not
share personal information about users under the age of 13 with third
parties and we do not sell or rent personal information about any of our
users, regardless of age. In addition, AlstraSoft will not send any
direct email offers to users who indicate they are under the age of 13.
As a result of the new
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States,
we are required to prohibit children under 13 who reside in the U.S.
from posting ads or using any of the other features of our site that
require them to submit information via forms. This is due to the onerous
reporting and verification requirements that this new law places on web
sites that allow children under 13 to submit information via forms.
Since we do not have the large, dedicated staff that would be necessary
to comply with these requirements, our only option in order to remain in
compliance with the law is to prohibit all children under 13 who reside
in the U.S. from posting any information via forms on our web site.
Therefore, children under 13 who reside in the U.S. should not submit
any information via forms on our web site, and if you submit such
information, you warrant that you are either over the age of 13 or not
located in the U.S. and thus not subject to COPPA.

What
else you should know about your online privacy
Please keep in mind that whenever you
voluntarily disclose personal information online through the use of our
software demos. In short, if you post personal information online that
is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from
other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible
for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account
information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
