Versora is committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of its customers and visitors to our web site. In particular, we want you to know that Versora is not in the business or selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies for marketing purposes. In this Privacy Policy we provide detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Personal information means any information that may be used to identify you, such as, your name, title, phone number, email address, or mailing address.

In general, you can browse our web site without giving us any personal information. If you want to subscribe to one of our newsletters, we ask you to simply provide your business email address. In that case, we use your email address only in connection with providing you the newsletter and for no other purpose.

Additional activities on our site require you to be registered - for example, to read a white paper, download a trial, or register for an event. As part of the registration process, we ask you to create a Versora account where we collect additional personal information. We use that information for several general purposes: to tell you about products, seminars and services if you so requested, to fulfill your request, to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to verify the accuracy of our records, to contact you regarding customer satisfaction surveys.

Some activities require additional personal information besides your Versora account. For example, to fulfill online orders for products, support, and training, we require you to enter credit card information, and you have the option to provide a separate shipping address.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Because Versora is a global company, your personal information may be shared with other Versora offices or subsidiaries in the U.S., Europe, Japan and elsewhere. The data protection laws in these countries may be more or less extensive than laws in the country in which you are located. However, Versora and its offices and subsidiaries are governed by this Privacy Policy and will use your personal information only as set forth in this policy. If you want, we can provide you with details of the countries relevant to you upon request.

By using our web site and providing us with your personal data, you consent to this transfer of your personal data.

Versora may also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange or other disposition (whether of assets, stock or otherwise) of all or a portion of a business of Versora and/or its subsidiaries or to (1) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process served on Versora or this web site; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of Versora and this web site; (3) enforce its agreements with you, or (4) act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety or the public.

Security of Personal Information

When you submit any form requiring a Versora account, we use a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) helps protect your information as it travels over the Internet by encrypting that information before it is sent to us. We have also implemented industry-standard security mechanisms and procedures to protect data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

Links to Other Web Sites

Our web site contains links to information on other web sites. We do not have any control over these other web sites, and therefore we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information that you provide while visiting those sites. Those sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy, and if you have questions about how a site uses your information, consult that site's privacy statement.

Unsubscribing

If you have set up a Versora account, you may change your preferences at any time by following the instructions provided in the Versora account pages.

Your Consent

By using our web site, you consent to the collection and use of the information you provide to us as outlined in this Privacy Policy. We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time and without notice. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will publish those changes on this page.

If you have any questions or concerns about our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information, please email us at privacy@versora.com
