Privacy Policy
Introduction:
Geoscape Europe believes that the responsible use of personal information is critical to the continued success of the Internet. As such, we are committed to the highest standards in protecting and safeguarding your right to privacy while using and interacting with our Web site.
While you can access most areas of our Web site without submitting any personal data, there are certain areas of our site that request specific personal information including name, phone number, and e-mail address. Our intent is to allow you as much control as possible over your personal information. Below we explain how Geoscape collects, stores, and uses your information.
Data Collection Overview:
Server Logs: For each visitor to the Geoscape Web site, our Web server automatically recognizes the visitor's domain name, browser type, operating system, entry page, exit page, and average time on the Web site. This information is used for internal purposes only in helping us improve our Web site and better your overall experience.
Online Forms: We use online forms in several areas of our Web site. Online forms provide site visitors with an opportunity to request company and product information, request product downloads and demos, view Geoscape white papers, register for free Geoscape e-Seminars, and enroll for various services including training, consulting and support. All information provided by the visitor is voluntary, with information generally including name, address, company, and e-mail. We will sometimes use this information to contact visitors for marketing, sales, service and support purposes.
Cookies: When used properly, cookies can improve the utility of a site by being able to securely store and apply personal data that visitors have voluntarily shared with the site. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personal identification information, but they do enable us to store site preferences, form information between visits, and items in your shopping cart. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to prevent such acceptance. Doing so, however, may result in disabling the functionality we have in place to better serve your needs. We use cookies to personalize the experience of our visitors, provide support to customers, record visitor preferences, provide personalized and specialized content, record session information, track visitor click stream behavior throughout the Web site, track items in your shopping cart and customize site content based on your browser type, operating system, and preferences.
Web Bugs: Geoscape does not use Web bugs or any other type of "hidden detection and tracking" technology or coding in its web pages.
Web bugs, or clear GIFs, are tiny images embedded in a Web page or HTML-enhanced e-mail that transmit information to a remote computer when the page is viewed. Businesses operating on the Internet often use them to track visitor behavior or to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
E-mail Addresses: We do not collect e-mail addresses without the site visitor voluntarily providing us with this information (typically via our online information request form, whitepaper request form, Geoscape e-Bulletin and other Web site forms).
We will periodically use your e-mail information for service, sales, support, and marketing purposes. If you do not wish to receive e-mail from us in the future, please write e-mail to geoscape@geoscape.eu
Postal Addresses (Snail Mail): We do not collect postal addresses without the site visitor voluntarily providing us with this information (typically via our online information request form, whitepaper request form, Geoscape e-Bulletin and other Web site forms).
Telephone Numbers: We do not collect telephone numbers without the site visitor voluntarily providing us with this information (typically via our online information request form, whitepaper request form, Geoscape e-Bulletin and other Web site forms).
Security: Online and Offline. We have licensed the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology that permits encryption of potentially sensitive information such as your name, address and credit card number. This will make your information unusable in the event of unauthorized third-party interception. Additionally, we have appropriate security measures in place at our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
Other Web Sites & Your Privacy Concerns: Our Web site contains links to other company and organizational Web sites that are not owned or operated by Geoscape. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. For more information on your privacy rights with regards to these sites, please refer to the privacy policies of each respective site that you visit.
Policy Changes: By using our Web site, you consent to the collection and use of your information by Geoscape. From time to time, we may use your information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. All privacy policy changes and updates will be promptly posted on our Web site.
Our continuing goal is to protect and safeguard your right to privacy. As such, we appreciate all feedback that helps us improve our privacy policy. Please share with us your thoughts comments and suggestions to geoscape@geoscape.eu.
