Information Collection
In a few areas on our Web site, we may ask you to provide information that will enable us
to contact or follow up with you. From time to time we may ask questions, or we may use data
collected to better understand how visitors are using our site. This information allows us to
improve our products and services, and to offer you specially tailored content, when available.
While some of this information is optional, other items are not.
We will request information from you when you:
- Register at www.analog-software.com
- Provide feedback in an online survey
- Participate in a sweepstakes or other promotional offer
- Subscribe to a newsletter or a mailing list
In each of these instances, we may ask for any of the following types of information: name,
e-mail address, phone number, full mailing address, client information, client ID and password,
as well as other similar personal information that is needed to register or subscribe you to
services or offers.
If you don't want to receive promotional material or special offers from us, we ask that you tell
us this. Please note that in the case of newsletters or mailing lists, you will be able to "
unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time. Furthermore, if you need to change your profile
and/or preferences, due (for instance) to a change of address, you will be able to make the change
at any time.
Cookies
Depending on how you configure your browser, when you visit Analog Software a small file
(a "cookie") is stored on your hard drive. Whenever you log onto Analog Software
our server looks for your cookie, and that's how we recognize that you've visited the site before
and don't need to re-enter your personal information, if required. Your browser can be configured
to reject cookies, but if you do this you'll have to re-enter your address and information each
time. Analog Software does not allow companies with a banner on our site to automatically
store a cookie on your browser when you visit our site. They can only store a cookie if you link
through to their site.
Information Use
Different information will be used for different purposes. Some personal information is required
to follow up to specific information requests. We may also use site visitor information to generate
statistics and aggregate reports for internal use and for sharing with affiliates. These statistics
and aggregate reports will not contain any personally identifiable information. Your identity is kept
anonymous at all times.
Aggregate information may be used to design programs and promotions that we think would be of interest
to an identified group of customers. Knowing more about you allows us to personalize the delivery of
site content to you (at this time personalized content delivery will be via email). If we decide to use
information collected for any purposes other than those identified we will contact you for your agreement.
The Benefits of Providing Information
Knowing more about you allows us to personalize the types of information we send to you. This means
that you will probably receive less mail from us and what you do receive will be meaningful and not
filled with information that does not apply to you.

licensers, or merchants.

Changing Profile and Opting Out
Should you not want to receive promotional material from us we ask that you tell us. We will also
delete your name from the database upon your written request sent to us via email. When you register
and your account is created, we will confirm your registration by sending an email to the address that
you supplied to us. All future emails to you will contain information on how to delete your name from
our database. Please keep this email and follow the instructions exactly when requesting that your name
