Blue Elephant Software is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others
in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Blue Elephant
Software collects information from our users and site visitors at several
different points.
Customer Support
In order to receive customer support, you must complete the customer
support form. During this process you are required to give your contact
information (such as name and email address). This information is only
used to contact you about the customer support issue. The contact
information is not added to our contact list or mailing list unless
specifically requested.
Placing an Order
We request information from you on our order form. Here you must
provide contact information (like name and billing address) and financial
information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information
is used for billing purposes and to fill your order. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with
you. We save your contact information for our customer records, and add
your email address to our announcement list so that you are notified of
news and software updates. You have the option to opt-out of the
announcement list using a form on our web site.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive that reference

Log Files
We use IP addresses, web server logs, and cookie data to analyze

This web site may contain links to other sites. Blue Elephant Software
is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We
encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to
information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address. Contact information is not
shared with any third parties.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time, our site may request information from you for
surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is
completely voluntary and you have a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information (such
as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip
code, age, and income). Contact information will be used to notify the
winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of
monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site and our
software.
Security
This website makes every reasonable effort to protect your information.
When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is
protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks you to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security number),
that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption
software in the industry -
SSL. While on
a secure page such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
'surfing'.
Special Offers
As our customer you will occasionally receive information on products,
services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for your
privacy, we allow you to unsubscribe from our mailing list. To
unsubscribe, follow the directions at the bottom of each mailing.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If your personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, or update your
personal data. Please send email to our
Customer Service
department with your new information.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a
manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will
notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or
not we use their information in this different manner. We will use
information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the
information was collected.
