Important Notice to Non-U.S. Residents

ESSA Software, LLC has always valued your privacy, and we reinforce this belief throughout our organization. Your Information (defined herein) will be protected as described herein unless a specific web page indicates otherwise. The Properties and their servers are operated in the United States and elsewhere. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that any Personal Information, Billing Information or Other Information (each as defined below and collectively, "Information") you provide to us and/or that we collect from you will be transferred to, processed, and used in the United States in accordance with the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy. By using the Properties and/or providing us with any Personal Information, you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to such transfer, processing, and use in the United States.

Information Collected

When you use the Properties, you may provide us with personally identifiable information about you and your company, such as your company name, your name, title, e-mail address, postal address, and telephone number (collectively, the "Personal Information"). We do not collect any Personal Information from you when you use the Properties unless you provide it voluntarily (for example, by signing up for an Account, registering for a webinar, requesting a newsletter, or sending us a message).

When you visit or use the Properties, we may automatically collect non-personal information, such as domain names, IP address (which may consist of a static or dynamic IP-address, and will sometimes point to a specific identifiable computer or device), browser type, operating system, access times, referring/exit web site addresses, information regarding your experience with our Properties, and other data (collectively, "Other Information"). This Other Information is used by us for the operation and improvement of the Properties, to track Site trends and statistics, and to prevent Product license abuse. This Other Information does not by itself personally identify you but may be associated by us or its service providers with Information that is provided by you or otherwise available to or held by us. For example, we may use analytics to monitor and identify trends and usage statistics. Analytics may collect certain information during a Product download, during a Product installation or update, while you are using certain Products and/or SaaS Products, Product demos, or applications on our Sites, and while you are using the Services. Such information may include, without limitation, how often different features are used, how often different buttons and menu items are clicked, execution time for different operations, error reports, download location, software version, platform information, application/Product usage, features usage, exception tracking, OS information, and Product and SaaS Product logs. The information will be transmitted to and stored by us and its service providers on its and their servers. We do not use analytics to collect any information which personally identifies you. The collection of this non-personally identifiable information will cease once your use of the Properties has ceased. However, the information collected may be retained, accessed, and used by us as long as necessary for the purposes described herein.

Where applicable, if you choose to access, or log in to, any Properties using your Google, Facebook, Yahoo, or other accounts accepted by the applicable Property, the third-party site will share with us certain Personal Information and Other Information. This information may include, without limitation, your name, email address, company name, and the country you have specified upon registration, along with any other information necessary in order to enable us to identify your account. By logging in with any of these accounts, you will be authorizing us to access, and we will obtain, such information, and we will use the same in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We also use third party analytics products to collect Other Information and augment Information, including but not limited to:

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc., to evaluate your use of the Properties, compile reports on activity, and provide other services relating to Internet usage. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies that store information, such as what time the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the Sites before, and what site referred the visitor to the web page.

We have also implemented Display Advertising Remarketing with Google Analytics to advertise online. This means that third-party vendors, including Google, display our ads on sites across the Internet and that we and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie, see: http://www.google.com/doubleclick) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to the Properties.

Google classifies Google Analytics data as confidential information, governed by Google's privacy policies. Google's privacy policy can be viewed at http://www.google.com/intl/None/policies/privacy/.

By using the Properties, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. If you choose, you can opt out of the processing of data about you by Google for Display Advertising and/or customize the ads by using Google's Ads Settings at: http://www.google.com/settings/ads. You can opt out of the processing of data about you by Google generally by turning off cookies in the preferences settings in your browser, or by downloading and installing Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the visit to the applicable Property should not be sent to Google Analytics. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to the the applicable Property itself or to other web analytics services.
