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 registering before
entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a
limited-access premium site, signing up for an event or
training, or when purchasing and/or registering Integrated
Data Processing, Inc. products. Personal information
collected by IDP.NET 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 a service or transaction that
requires payment, such as making a purchase in the Shopping
area of the Web site, we will request personal information
necessary for billing and/or shipping, such as: name,
address, telephone number, and credit card number.
When you buy and install a new product, we may ask you to
register your purchase electronically. We keep this
registration information on file with any information you've
already given us on previous visits to our Web site.
IDP.NET also collects certain information about your
computer hardware and software. This information may
include: your IP address, browser type, operating system,
domain name, access times and referring Web site addresses.
This information is used for the operation of the service,
to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general
statistics regarding use of IDP.NET.
IDP.NET also collects information about which pages our
customers visit within IDP.NET. This site visitation data is
identified only by a unique ID number, and it is never
linked with personal information unless a user consents as
described below.
IDP.NET uses its own proprietary private registration and
authentication service. When you sign in to our sites, you
will be asked to provide your e-mail address and/or account
ID and a password.
Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for the following purposes:
|
- To ensure our site is relevant to your

- To deliver services, such as newsletters,
events, training or software, that you request or purchase.
- To help us create and publish content most
relevant to you.
- To alert you to product upgrades, special
offers, updated information and other new services from
Integrated Data Processing, Inc., if you so request.
- To allow you access to limited-entry areas
of our site as appropriate.
We will merge site-visitation data with anonymous demographic
information for research purposes, and we may use this information
in aggregate to provide more relevant content. In some limited-entry
sections of IDP.NET, with your approval, we will combine
site-visitation data with your personal information in order to
provide you with personalized content. If you decline permission, we
will not provide you the personalized service and won’t merge your
personal information with site-visitation data.
We may 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.

property of Integrated Data Processing, Inc. and its family of Web
sites, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal

Control of your Personal Information
IDP.NET DOES NOT provide your information to other companies for any
purpose without your permission.

IDP.NET will not share that information with third parties without

procedures to help protect your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the

Use of Cookies
When someone visits the site, a cookie is placed on the customer's
machine (if the customer accepts cookies) or is read if the customer
has visited the site previously. One use of cookies is to assist in
the collection of the site visitation statistics described above.
We also use cookies to collect information on which newsletter links
are clicked by customers. This information is used to ensure we are
sending information customers want to read. It is collected in
aggregate form and never linked with your personal information.
Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action tags, may
be used to assist in delivering the cookie on our site. This
technology tells us how many visitors clicked on key elements (such
as links or graphics) on a IDP.NET Web page. We do not use this
technology to access your personally identifiable information on
IDP.NET; it is a tool we use to compile aggregated statistics about
IDP.NET Web site usage. We may share aggregated site statistics with
partner companies but do not allow other companies to place clear
gifs on our sites.
If you choose to not have your browser accept cookies from the
IDP.NET Web site, you will be able to view the text on the screens,
however you will not experience a personalized visit nor will you be
able to subscribe to the service offerings on the site. Some
areas of our site may not function at all unless you allow cookies.
