Online Privacy Statement
J. River
respects your privacy and is committed to protect the personal information that
you share with us. Generally, you can browse through our website 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 policy 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, email address, a home,
postal or other physical address, other contact information, title, birth date,
gender, occupation, industry, personal interests, other
information when needed to provide a service you requested.
When you
browse our website, you do so anonymously, unless you have previously indicated
that you wish J. River to remember your login and password. We don't
automatically collect personal information, including your email address. We do
log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea
of which part of our website you visit and how long you spend there. But we do
not link your IP address to any personal information unless you have logged in
to our website. Like many other commercial websites, the J. River website may
use a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information
about how you use the site. Please go to "Cookies and Tracking
Information" below for more information.
J. River
collects personal information when you register with J. River for a J. River
account, when you use certain J. River products or services, when you register
to attend a seminar or participate in an online survey, when you ask to be
included in an email or other mailing list, or you submit an entry for a
sweepstakes or other promotions, or when you submit your personal information
to J. River for any other reason. From time to time, J. River receives personal
information from business partners and vendors. J. River only uses such information
if it has been collected in accordance with acceptable privacy practices
consistent with this Policy and applicable laws.
Access to certain J. River web pages require a login and a password. The use of
those web pages, and the information or programs downloadable from those sites,
may be governed by a written agreement between your employer and J. River.
Unless you request deletion of your personal information as specified below,
your personal information may be retained by J. River 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. J. River will not transfer your
personal information to third parties.
We 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
Policy unless you take affirmative action to indicate that you do not consent,
for instance by clicking or checking the appropriate option or box at the point
of collection. In some cases, when applicable, we will provide you with the
opportunity to "opt in." This means we will require your affirmative
action to indicate your consent before we use your information for purposes
other than the purpose for which it was submitted.
Cookies and Tracking Technology
A cookie is
a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you
visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the
site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only personal information
a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read
data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts
of J. River's website use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in
order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and
to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that
information.
If you
prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set your
browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your
browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning
them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full advantage
of J. River's website if you do so. In particular, you may be required to
accept cookies in order to complete certain actions on our website. You do not
need to have cookies turned on, however, to use/navigate through many parts of
our website, except access to certain of J. River's web pages may require a
login and password.
