Last updated: October 18, 2007
At Sokel, we are committed to protecting your privacy and to
developing technology that gives you the most powerful and secure online
experience. You can travel through most of our site without giving us
any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to
provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy
explains data collection and use in those situations.
Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you
(personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this
information is requested when you are asked to register before ordering
e-mail newsletters or other documentation, or when purchasing and
registering Sokel products. Personal information collected by Sokel
often is limited to e-mail address, language, country or location, but
may include other information when needed to provide a service you
requested.
For example: If you choose to make a purchase on the Web site, we may
request personal information such as: name, address, telephone number,
credit card number and shipping information.
Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for four primary purposes:
 |
To make the site easier for you to use by not making
you enter your personal information more than once.
|
|
|
To help you quickly find software, services or
information on Sokel.
|
|
|
To help us create and deliver content most relevant
to you. |
|
|
To alert you to product upgrades, special offers,
updated information and other new services from Sokel.
|
We occasionally hire other companies to provide
limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and
delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or
services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will
only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the
service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any
other purpose.
Sokel will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if
required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal
process served on Sokel; (b) protect and defend the rights
or property of Sokel and its family of Web sites, and, (c) act in urgent
circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Sokel, its Web
sites, or the public.
Control of your Personal Information
When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, Sokel
will not share that information with third parties without your
permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It
will only be used for the purposes stated above.
Sokel may send out periodic e-mails informing you of technical
service issues related to a product or service you requested. You will
not be able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are
considered an essential part of the service you have chosen.
Security of your Personal Information
Sokel strictly protects the security of your personal information
and honors your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your
data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration,
or destruction.
Your personal information is never shared outside the company without
your permission, except under conditions explained above. Inside the
company, data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited
access. Your information may be stored and processed in the United
States or any other country where Sokel, its subsidiaries, affiliates or

aggregated statistics about Sokel Web site usage. We do not share
tracking information outside of Sokel, and do not allow other companies
to place clear gifs on our sites.
