Privacy Statement
Rev. 6/1/02
Metafile respects your privacy and is committed to protect
the personal information that you share with us. Generally, you can browse through
our web sites without giving us any information about yourself. When we do need
your personal information to provide services that you request or when you choose
to provide us with your personal information, this statement describes how we
collect and use your personal information.
Information Collection
Personal information means any information that may be used
to identify an individual, including, but not limited to; a first and last name,
e-mail address, a home, postal or other physical address, other contact information,
or credit card information.
When you browse our web sites, you do so anonymously. We don't
collect personal information. We do log your IP address (the Internet address
of your computer) to give us an idea of which part of our web sites you visit
and how long you spend there. We do not link your IP address to any personal
information. Like many other commercial web sites, Metafile web sites may use
a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information about
how you use our web sites. Please go to IP Addresses and "Cookie"
Information below for more information.
When you register to attend training, when you ask to be included
in an e-mail or other mailing list, or when you submit your information to Metafile
for any other reason, Metafile only uses such information if it has been collected
in accordance with acceptable privacy practices consistent with this statement
and applicable laws.
To access our Product Support web site requires a login and
password. Web pages and information or programs downloadable from that web site,
may be governed by a written agreement between your employer and Metafile. Your
personal information may be retained by Metafile to verify compliance with the
agreement, log software licenses granted, to track software downloaded from
those pages, or track usage of other applications available on those pages.
Notice
When personal information is collected, we will inform you
at the point of collection the purpose for the collection. Metafile does not
intend to transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent.
Metafile will always give you the opportunity to "opt
out" of receiving direct marketing or market research information. This
means we assume you have given us your consent to collect and use your information
in accordance with this statement unless you take affirmative action to indicate
that you do not consent. In some cases, when applicable, we will provide you
with the opportunity to "opt in." This means we require your affirmative
action to indicate your consent before we use your information for purposes
other than the purpose for which it was submitted.
IP Addresses and "Cookie" Information
As is the case with many web sites, our web sites logs your
IP address and uses standard technology called "cookies", which are
small data files that are downloaded onto your computer when you visit our web
sites. Cookies automatically identify your browser to the Metafile web sites
whenever you interact with our web sites. If you prefer not to allow us to collect
"cookie" information you can disable the cookies by turning them off
in your browser, however, some areas of our web sites may not function properly
if you do. We will use your IP address for systems administration purposes.
We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. This
means that your session will be tracked, but you will not be identified.
How We Use Information Collected
Metafile uses information for several general purposes: to
fulfill your requests for certain products and services, to keep you up to date
on the latest product announcements, software updates, special offers or other
information we think you'd like to hear about, and to better understand your
needs and provide you with better services. We may also use your information
to send you direct marketing information or contact you for market research.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Your personal information is never shared outside Metafile
without your permission. Inside Metafile, data is stored in controlled servers
with limited access.
Security
Metafile safeguards the security of the data you
send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures.� While we strive
to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information
you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to protect your
personal data when you are on the Internet.
Children and Privacy
Our web sites do not target and are not intended to attract
children. Metafile does not knowingly solicit information from any child under
the age of 13. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 sends personal information
to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child to
inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or
her personal information.
Third Party Web sites

does not share your personal information with those web sites and is not responsible
