Personal Data
A user account on our web site contains certain private and public personal information
that is reasonable and expected in maintaining a product supplier to customer relationship.
The user account is only created when you perform specific form-submitting actions on our web site, such as downloading a free product evaluation, purchasing licenses, etc.
We do NOT collect any personal data considered to be of a sensitive nature such as religious or political affiliation.
Private Information
The user account contains private information, which includes your full name and e-mail address.
This data is required since your e-mail address is used as the login mechanism for your account and the name is how you are identified to us.
After ordering an Actipro product or service, you may be associated with an organization account.
The organization account represents a company, organization, or individual who has purchased product licenses or services.
Organization accounts track the organization's name, postal address, phone number, web site, and Actipro purchase history.
They also track one or more user account contacts who have access to the organization account.
When added to an organization account, other contacts for that account will be able to see your name and e-mail address in the contacts list.
Organization account information can be edited from the organization account page.
Certain portions of our web site may track your IP address, which helps us prevent against fraudulent orders.
Other private data that is only accessible to Actipro and never shared:
-
Downloads - Any product downloads that you've made, allowing us to follow-up after an evaluation period.
-
Mailing list subscriptions - Any mailing lists for which you've requested and/or confirmed a subscription.
Subscriptions can be managed via the "Contact Preferences" portion of your
My Account page.
-
Poll responses - Any polls that you've answered.

Public Information
Your user account's public profile is visible to other web site visitors.
When a user account is first created, only your name (not private e-mail address) is copied to your public profile.
The name can be customized to be different from your private profile name for anonymization, and any other optional public profile information
(public e-mail address, organization, title, location, web site, signature, etc.) can be viewed/edited via your
My Account page.
