Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 5, 2010

Overview
NetSoft is committed to providing exemplary professional services and to establishing and maintaining responsible and ethical relationships. Privacy and the protection of personal information in our possession are cornerstones of NetSoft’s relationships.

We intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information. In general, you can view this website without telling NetSoft who you are or revealing any information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you, such as your name, location and email address. We use the information you provide about yourself or someone else when submitting a message, joining a club, or other submission. This document sets out our privacy policy and illustrates our commitment to comply with applicable privacy legislation.

Collection of Personal Information
NetSoft only collects information through this website that you provide, and the information is used solely for the purposes of making business connections initiated by you, pursuant to PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) and the Privacy Act.

This information may be collected through email correspondence, telephone conversations, or by completing forms on our website. This information is collected voluntarily when you supply information about yourself or your business, corporation, organization, or personal venture for the purposes of retaining our services. The type and accuracy of the information collected is solely contingent upon what you voluntarily provide to us.

The personal information collected on this website will be used to operate the site and to grant the service(s) or execute the transaction(s) that you have requested or authorized. We may use your personal information to furnish important information about the product or service that you are using, including critical updates and notifications.

Additionally, with your permission, we may send you information about other NetSoft services. When you register for a newsletter or agree to receive promotional emails, NetSoft may use customized links or similar technologies to track email links that you click. We may associate that information with your personal information in order to provide you more focused email communications or purchasing information.

Pursuant to PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) and the Privacy Act, NetSoft may disclose personal information 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.
b) protect and defend the rights or property of NetSoft; or.
c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of NetSoft employees or agents, users of NetSoft products or services, or members of the public.

Personal information collected on the site may be stored and processed in Canada or any other country in which NetSoft or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities. By using NetSoft’s website, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

Because of the nature of our business, it is necessary to collect and retain certain types of information about you and/or your business (such as contact information, business genre, etc.) in order to best service your needs. All information you provide is, of course, optional. In the event, however, that we deem the voluntary data insufficient in order for us to initiate or maintain an ordinary business relationship with you, we may, in our sole discretion, refrain from initiating or maintaining the aforementioned relationship. Such an instance would only occur if you are unwilling or unable to provide us with the informational necessities a reasonable person or business entity would require conducting business.

Protecting Your Information
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect online. Personal information is stored in a secure SQL server database, behind a firewall, and not accessible to the web.

NetSoft uses firewalls and additional measures to ensure the security of your personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access.

We also have appropriate security measures in place at the facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that has been collected at our site. The information collected is not shared with other organizations. No personal identifiable information is currently stored by cookies. Neither do we partner with, nor have any relationships with any ad server companies that might put your information in danger.

Registration and Requests
Our site includes order forms that you fill out to request information, products, and services. These forms may collect your financial information, such as your banking details or credit card numbers.

Online Ordering: If you place an order online through our secure site, we need to know your name, email address, mailing address, credit card number, and the credit card’s expiration date. We also may ask you for certain credit history and tax information. This allows us to process and fulfill your orders and keep you up-to-date on the status of your order.

Literature Requests, Samples, Software Downloads: When you request literature, a free sample offer, or a free software download, NetSoft may require your name, address, and email address so we can fulfill your request. In some cases, the collection of additional information may be required as part of the offer.

Contests, Surveys, & Online Polls: NetSoft occasionally conducts surveys, polls or contests on our site. While these activities are voluntary, it often requires us to request information from you if you choose to participate. The poll results are gathered and displayed to other site users to show your peers’ viewpoints on topical information. The contest information will be used to administer the contest and notify the contest winners, unless otherwise stated at the time of entry.

Emails, Including Special Offers & Site Updates: If you are registered with NetSoft, NetSoft will occasionally send you emails about various products and services that we feel may be of interest to you and/or about site features and changes that we feel you’ll want to know about. You can choose not to receive email from NetSoft at any time, and only NetSoft employees will send you these direct mailings.

NetSoft promises to use any financial information that you submit solely for billing and payment purposes for that specific transaction. This may include the transfer of your data to approved third parties involved in executing the transaction, such as banks, credit card companies and other financial and credit control institutions.

Cookies
A cookie is a file containing a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a website. Your browser stores this file on your computer. Depending on the browser you use, cookies are usually stored in the folder that contains the temporary Internet files of your browser.

NetSoft uses cookies mainly to keep your log-in session data. This allows you to return and use our services without the need to log-in again. Please note that, while NetSoft implements this feature, we do encourage you to practice logging-out (or signing-out) of Internet services in general, and then logging-in when you return. This is the best practice for your security unless your browser’s documentation guarantees you a certain level of security with which you feel comfortable. Please note that, while you can also set your browser not to accept cookies at all, this setting would not allow you to use NetSoft services that require you to log-in (or sign-in).

We may in the future use cookies to keep track of certain preferences you specify and/or to provide you with an experience tailored to your preferences.

NetSoft may display advertisements or make use of services that may set cookies on your computer.

You are encouraged to check the privacy policies of any service or party that you suspect by visiting their respective websites.

Children’s Viewing Policy
NetSoft is not structured to attract children. However we encourage parents and guardians to review in advance the appropriateness of the different areas of our website for use by children, if children plan to utilize our site. We may collect information from individuals visiting our website who may, register for a service, submit a message or enter a sweepstakes or contest. We will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under certain ages, typically under the age of 18 years old.

To this end, NetSoft has created systems that request that request the user to verify, confirm, and warrant that the user is over a certain age, prior to the information being submitted to us. Therefore, these visitors may not be eligible to participate in certain services offered on the website. We do not intend to participate in the transfer of any personal information of persons under a certain age for any purpose. However, since this is a voluntary system, based on honesty, these systems are not foolproof.
