AccessData Group respects your preferences concerning the treatment of personal information that we may collect from your association with us.  We use your information to support and enhance our relationship with you; for example, to process your subscription or purchase, provide service and support, and update you about product releases and details, service and company news and offerings with you. We do not sell your personal information.  We only share your personal data for marketing purposes outside AccessData Group with your consent, as required by law or to protect AccessData Group, its customers, or the public, or with companies that help AccessData Group fulfill its obligations with you (such as shipping companies).  At any time you may contact AccessData Group with any privacy questions or concerns you may have.  You also may ask at any time to see the data you have given us and request correction or deletion.  We strive to ensure a high level of security and confidentiality. We’ve developed our privacy policy from industry standards, and local, national, and international laws and requirements.  All privacy practices and methods described in this policy apply only insofar as permitted by the applicable standards, laws and requirements.
Information Collected
During the sales process, or through trade shows, marketing events, and other activities, AccessData Group may collect information from you.  For example, we request information from you when you:

• Register on accessdata.com
• Request a demo disk
• Request a quotation or information
• Register for a webinar, seminar, or other informational event
• Place an order
• Participate in a sweepstakes or other promotional offer
• Subscribe to a newsletter or a mailing list

We may ask you for your name, address, e-mail address, type of business, and credit card information, as well as other similar personal information.

How We Use Your Information
The information you provide will be used to support your relationship with AccessData Group.  Among other things, your information may be used to alert you to product upgrades or special offers, and to market or sell AccessData Group products or services to you.  Your information may be combined with information collected about you by AccessData Group or third parties, with information that is collected about you from public records, or with information that AccessData Group may acquire from third parties.

Data Sharing and Transfer
Information regarding you (such as name, address and phone number) or your order and the products you purchase will not be given or sold to any outside organization for its use in marketing or solicitation without your consent.  In addition, occasionally AccessData Group will share contact information, such as name and address, with third parties with whom we have partnered to provide specific services to AccessData Group, or services on behalf of AccessData Group.

In addition, AccessData Group may be required to disclose your information in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention, regulation, and other legal action or if AccessData Group reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to protect AccessData Group, its customers, or the public.

AccessData Group is an expanding business, and like other companies, we sometimes acquire or divest business units.  As part of such transfers, we may convey the business assets of the particular business unit, including information that you have supplied.

Changing Your Account Information
We will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect changes in our services and customer feedback.  When we post changes to this Statement, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this Statement.  If we make significant changes to our Statement, we may also notify you by other means, such as sending an email or posting a notice on our corporate website.  We encourage you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how AccessData Group is protecting your information.
If you wish to provide us with additional information, change the information we have on file for you, or delete personal information you have previously provided to us, please email us at legal@accessdata.com

Data Security and Responsibility
AccessData Group takes seriously the trust you place in us.  To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, AccessData Group utilizes reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard the information we collect.  AccessData Group retains data only as required or permitted by local law and while it has a legitimate business purpose. 

AccessData Group is committed to keeping the data you provide us secure and will take reasonable precautions to protect your information from loss, misuse or alteration.  Vendors, contractors, or partners of AccessData Group who have access to your information in connection with providing services for AccessData Group are required to keep the information confidential and are not permitted to use this information for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for AccessData Group.

Your information will generally be stored in our AccessData Group databases, which are located in the United States.  For easier processing of e-mail communications, or other marketing purposes, however, your information may be sent, usually on a temporary basis, to countries outside the United States. AccessData Group data protection standards are the same, regardless of where your information is stored.

Safe Harbor Privacy Policy
AccessData Group complies with the U.S.–E.U. Safe Harbor Framework and the U.S.–Swiss Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal data from European Union member countries and Switzerland. AccessData has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement. To learn more about the Safe Harbor program, and to view the certification for AccessData Group, Inc., visit http://www.export.gov/safeharbor.  

This AccessData Safe Harbor Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information (1) collected by AccessData, our customers, and other business partners located in the European Economic Area (the EEA), which may then be transferred to AccessData in the United States; and (2) received from companies that use AccessData’s services who operate in the EEA and processed by AccessData in the United States on behalf of the company. This Safe Harbor Privacy Policy supplements the AccessData Privacy Policy.

Notice and Choice
To the extent permitted by the Safe Harbor Frameworks, AccessData reserves the right to process personal information in the course of providing professional services to our clients without the knowledge of individuals involved. Where we collect personal information directly from individuals in the EU and/or Switzerland, we inform them about the types of personal information we collect from them, the purposes for which we collect and use it, and the types of non-agent third parties to which we disclose that information. We also inform those individuals about the choices and means, if any, we offer individuals for limiting the use or disclosure of their information.

For sensitive personal information, AccessData will give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively and explicitly (opt-in) consent to the disclosure of the information to a non-agent third party or the use of the information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

Disclosures and Transfers
AccessData will not disclose an individual’s personal information to third parties, except when one or more of the following conditions is true:

• We have the individual’s permission to make the disclosure;
• The disclosure is required by law or professional standards;
• The disclosure is reasonably related to the sale or disposition of all or part of our business;
• The information in question is publicly available;
• The disclosure is reasonably necessary for the establishment or defense of legal claims; or
• The disclosure is to another AccessData entity or to persons or entities providing services on our or the individual’s behalf (each a “transferee”), consistent with the purpose for which the information was obtained, if the transferee, with respect to the information in question:
• is subject to law providing an adequate level of privacy protection;
• has agreed in writing to provide an adequate level of privacy protection; or
• subscribes to the Principles.

Permitted transfers of information, either to third parties or within AccessData, include the transfer of data from one jurisdiction to another, including transfers to and from the United States of America. Because privacy laws vary from one jurisdiction to another, personal information may be transferred to a jurisdiction where the laws provide less or different protection than the jurisdiction in which the information originated.

Information collected by AccessData, corporate customers and business partners

AccessData may receive personal information from our corporate customers and other business partners in the EEA, such as name, email address, company name, title, postal address, telephone number, and preferences regarding our applications, websites, and services. Any personal information sent to us may be used by AccessData and their agents and business partners for the purposes described at the time the information was collected. If you agree to receive email or telephone marketing from us, personal information we receive will also be used for those purposes, as described in the AccessData Privacy Policy. If we plan to use personal information for a purpose that is incompatible with these purposes or if we plan to disclose personal information to a kind of company not described here, we will seek your consent to such uses or disclosures.

Agents and service providers
AccessData may work with other companies to help us deliver our services to you on our behalf. In some cases, these companies will have access to some of your personal information in order to provide services to you on our behalf. They are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes. AccessData requires that its agents and service providers that have access to personal information received by AccessData from the EU or Switzerland subscribe to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles, be subject to the EU Privacy Directive or another adequacy finding, or enter into a written agreement that requires them to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the relevant Safe Harbor Principles.

Security
AccessData uses reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Data integrity
AccessData takes reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current by using the most recent information provided to us.
