Information We Collect and How We Use It
To enable visitors to take advantage of our services, we collect certain types of personally identifiable information from both software vendors and software buyers.
Software Vendors’ Personally Identifiable Information
We may collect the following types of personally identifiable information from vendors to enable them to have their company and product information listed on our site: company name and a company contact’s name, e-mail, and telephone number.
The information that we collect from software vendors enables them to offer buyers opportunities to learn about products and services and to facilitate business software transactions.
Software Buyers' and Researchers' Personally Identifiable Information
We do not require software buyers to register in order to do research using the Software Net website. However, if a buyer chooses to fill out an Information Request form, or a Requirements Definition form, we collect personally identifiable information including name, company name, email address, and phone number.
We pass this information on to software vendors when software buyers request us to do so.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may collect certain non-personally identifiable information about our visitors when you visit many of our web pages such as the type of browser you are using (for example, Firefox, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (such as Windows NT or Mac OS) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (such as America Online, Earthlink).
We use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as well as to offer you products or services.
Choices/Opt-Out
Software Net may contact software vendors to let them know about software buyers' or researchers' interest in their products and services. If you prefer not to receive information from this site, just let us know by responding directly to the emails you receive or by contacting diane(at)software-directory.net
Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and Sponsors
Our site contains links to other Web sites (for example, sites that provide information on specific software categories) whose information practices may be different than ours. Visitors should consult the other sites' privacy notices as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.
Children's Privacy
Children are not eligible to use our Site and we ask that minors (under the age of 18) do not submit any personal information to us. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the event that we learn we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information from our database as quickly as possible.
